New to plants and was wondering if I can just stick a pair of scissors in the water. I was thinking of using a new pair of those nail trimming scissors. Just wasn't sure about the metal in the water.

So I have seen my fish do this about three times in the last couple weeks. They line up together and occasionally one will come out and bite at something in the water. I have had a fish lay eggs and it doesn't look like eggs so I don't know what the heck it is. I attached a picture. Not to...

How do you tell if your fish has calamnaris or mouth rot or something else all together? I am not new to keeping fish, however, ive been having an issue with my rainbowfish. I have a rainbow fish that has white saly like growths on his mouth. The reason I think its Calamnaris is the fact that...

Can you feed a fish soybeans instead of peas? Can anyone recommend a guide I can go by?

I am worried about one of my blue neon rainbows. He hangs out in one spot and just breaths rapidly. He seems otherwise normal.

I'm really worried about my Bolivian Ram. He seems to be sitting on the bottom a lot. However, he is eating and acting interested the other fish. He is also trying to get into a small cave where my Cory's hang out in. I'm thinking he's just stressed. He's a lot darker than he used to be...

Long story short I have a tank of mostly rainbow fish. For some reason they get a case of "threading" on the lower lip mostly. It usually goes away on its own, however, this recent case has been more aggressive. Is there anything I should treat with? I know salt helps. Should I use melafix...

So my rainbow was unfortunitly in an continuous battle with my Golden Wonder Killie and got wounded pretty bad. This was about a year ago. The rainbow to this day still has the mark. I assumed it was just a scar but sometimes it gets red and then goes away. I'm assuming someone else is...
