Hello..does anybody have advice about moving aquariums? I have 40 g and a 29 g....the 40 g has an assortment of barbs and the 29g has guppies and neons. The tanks will be too heavy with any water in them, so don't know if the fish will be ok in a bucket for an hour or so...I also have 1 10...

I have a large tank with a mixed variety of fish...One by one, they are dying, but before they do, they seem to lose their bouency....They struggle to swim and act like they've swallowed something heavy..I have lost some danios and some cherry barbs so far.... My tiger barbs, gold barbs and...

I have had a betta for about 5 months...I've noticed over the last few days, his belly is getting bigger and bigger, and his colouring in his face is getting grey. He is also not as active as he once was...Just going up to the surface for air..( more than normal ) I actually don't think he's...

I occasionally like to treat my tiger barbs with frozen blood worms...I thaw a cube out and then feed them by dropping the worms in a little at a time with a toothpick....I've noticed that I often will lose a fish or 2 a week or to after...like they are getting sick from the worms...I lost two...

I have 2 of these silver fish that were sold to me as 'panda barbs', but I have not been able to find any info on the internet. They kind of look like rosy barbs, but they are silver and the black dot is closer to the base of the tail with a little shimmer of pink just infront of it. The one I...

I've been watching my tanks, and I think I need to get a bottom feeder for my 10g tanks....my tiger barbs in the large tank do a lot of bottom feeding, so they take good care of that area. I would like to get some small ones....I've seen plecos that are huge, so don't want to get one of...

A friend gave me a 10g tank they were no longer using, and I just can't stand to see it empty. I already have a 29g tank with 3 tiger barbs, 3 rosy barbs, 3 serpae tetra and 2 panda barbs (that's what they were labelled on the lfs tank, but I've never been able to confirm the name). I also...

Thanks for all the advice...My tanks are doing wonderfully now. My problem was overfeeding. I now keep them slightly hungry and now everybody is happy. I recently went on a week vacation, and had a friend of mine looked after my tanks. I showed her how much to feed them, but my fish were nice...

Have a cherry barb that seems to have gotten swollen over the last couple of days and is breathing quickly and not swimming with the others...pH is about 8,nitrate 40, nitrite 0, ammonia 0, temp 28C/84F. Tank is 10 gallons and has been set up for 3 months. I am using an aquaclear mini with...

I've tested my tap water after letting it sit for 12 hours. It is registering at 8.0. I have learned from this forum to lower pH to try adding 'peat' to the filter....Do you mean peat moss that is sold at gardening stores? I've also been advised to try putting wood in the tank (drift wood?)...

I was considering just giving up on keeping fish...I have a 29 gallon tank with 3 green barbs, 3 tiger barbs and 3 neon rosy barbs....things were generally going ok...pH a bit high, but found some postings that reassured me a steady pH (even if it is a bit high) is better than a fluctuating one...

Like most things I chose to do, I jump into it and then research it later :oops: . I have always liked bettas so I decided to rescue a male from one of those little fish store cup prisons. Then I noticed that on the display it said they were good as community fish (At least I know better than...

Anybody ever heard of tiger barbs killing and completely eating each other? I was wondering because this is the second time I lost a fish without a trace...my tank is completely covered except where the filter water returns to the tank. (I checked the filter too, just in case he did the...
