I am virtually positive that my seven year old angelfish is suffering from dropsy: his abdomen is bloated (scales are still lying flat) and his eyes definitely have that "pop eye" look. Long story short, I just got back from a ten-day trip and my "babysitter" flaked on checking up on the fish...

Hi everyone! I'm quite freaked out right now as I write this, and I hope that someone *anyone* has some advice... For the last few days, every time I've seen my clown loach, he's been in the same place, his favorite place, in a hole in a piece of bogwood that I have in my tank. This didn't...

hi everyone! i'm having a curious issue with my angelfish. he is about four years old, and (i'm sorry, i don't know the technical name for them) the long thin fins that come out from his bottom side, right behind his head, have been breaking. they used to be about 5-6" long each and are now...

Hello all! Well, three years into my life as a fish mom, I appear to be battling my first fish illness. I noticed last night that my angelfish had 2 or 3 tiny, tiny white, opaque bubble-like dots near his face. Tonight he appears to have one or two more. I've looked around the net, and first...

Ok, I'm hoping y'all can give me some good ideas here. I had a betta in a 3 gal bowfront that was the happiest guy ever. My new betta, however, doesn't seem quite as happy in his 3-gal. I have turned the filter off, running it only for a little while every day or so to give the water some...

I have always wondered exactly what is included in that number, and have always heard differently...so I'm just gonna ask my (probably stupid) questions, and see what y'all have heard. Do you include bottom feeders (catfish) and/or algae eaters (CAEs)? I've heard it both ways... and Is it tail...

Ok, so a few months after adding my new lights (196 watts at 7600k, over my 46 gal bowfront), my tank has turned into an algal smorgasbord. It wasn't too bad before I left town for a week, leaving the tank in the care of a friend, but I came back to (my first ever) a bad case of green water...

well, i guess it's good to know that my fish are happy, but maybe they're a bit *too* happy. i've got 11 baby mollies and 2 still very, very large mommy mollies. does anyone have any ideas what i can do with them (and still keep them alive)? if any big chains (petsmart, petco, etc.) will ever...

last night while doing a little plant maintenance, a large piece of bogwood was lifted, and subsequently fell either on or near one of my zebra danios. afterwards, he couldn't seem to find up, so to speak; he was swimming sideways, upside down, or straight up and down (nose pointing the...

hi everybody :) i'm brand new here, and was hoping y'all could help me out. i have a 46 gal. bowfront that is home to one large angelfish, 4 long skirt tetras, 3 mollies, 6 danios, 2 catfish, and 2 clown loaches. i've been adding plants recently, and all were doing wonderfully until a couple...
