    Drooping tail - black tetra

    i would say it is stress, but i would keep a close eye on it to make sure its nothing worse, try raising the temp a little bit, and adding a small amount of aquarium salt, which restores essential electrolytes. How long has the tank been cycled for?

    Very cloudy water

    i wouldnt put those fish in at all, they will die, is your tank cycled? for how long? what are readings?(ammonia, nitrates, nitrites), all important info. dont use ph inhibitors or adjusters, they do more harm than help.

    Help!

    that betta will probably die pretty quikly unless u get it into a tank with atleast a heater, a 10 g tank is usually good for one betta, give him/her a good home and they will last longer they will be more fun when they have a nice big home, you dont really need a filter becuase bettas are...

    Please identify this fish if you can.

    probably stress, keep a close eye, if they start showing white dots or there fins look infected treat immediately, raise the temp a bit that usually calms fish down, or add some aquarium salt, restore some electrolytes it helps them

    [B]Nitrites arrived 2 days ago, Now what?[B/]

    your best bet would be to get some filter media or various tank media from a clean fully cycled tank(established for a few months) to kick start the process, the artificial bacteria wont work, they only maintain between certain temperatures that lfc's you buy from dont regulate by, the only one...

    A little confused

    i cant agree more with fishfanatic, your new to this whole world, its ver overwhelming at first, and the guy your talking to knows that, and is taking advantage of you. he sounds like the kind of guy that gets there early in the morning before the store opens to remove all the dead fish and use...

    Fire eel

    i would just sell it to a dedicated aquarist, who will give the eel a proper home. you probly got that thing on the brink of death, the only thing keeping em alive is the thought u might let him eat all those goodies you got in your tank. Your dragon goby wont make it past a year without...

    so many snails and how

    i had a out of conrtol infestation in my 10 g before, i put my fish in a hospital tank and then i added vinigar to the tank for a few days, and it sours all of the snails, and kills all offspring, the only draw back is you have to do alot of water changes for a week or 2, to get rid of all the...
