So for the past 2 to 3 weeks now my 5 corydoras have been dying slowly one by one. 1 has already died. 2 and 3 are now breathing heavy and not eating or moving around...slightly tilted on the ground. There are no visible signs of sickness such as white spots/flakes, bumps, redness or injury...

Help, one of my cory fish was not moving much and I got him to come to the edge so i can get a good shot. It appears as if he either sustained a flesh wound or could it have been a disease that made his gill fall off? The other side is perfectly fine, but this side you can see a chunk seems to...

One of my red clawed crabs died probably a few days ago....I didn't know until yesterday when i what looks like arms from the crab floating around the tank. When I found him, he was pale and had a very nasty smell and when I took him out, he literally melted and turned to goo. I saw him...

I have 3 RCC's and they were living together in my tank ok for the past 4 months with the minor "scuffles" for territory but nothing ever serious. Just a few minutes ago, i heard some scuffling and went to check what was going on. The bigger RCC must've tried to attack the smallest RCC...

One of my RCC seems to have turned really dark in color....almost granite / midnight greyish. He's usually a light brown but I'm wondering if there is anything to be concerned about. Also a little update on my tetras that came down with ichs. After about 3 weeks of raising the water temp to...

Just one question here. I have raised the temp of the water in my aquarium to around 31 degrees celsius as I'm trying to treat ich's disease in my tetras. I've noticed over the days that my corydoras and even my pleco swim up to the surface quickly and swim back down. They do this quite often...

My neon tetras started exhibiting the white flakes that look like salt sprinkled on them a few days ago. I raised the water temp up to 30 degrees and change the water 20-25% every other day. I keep the light off too and leave a ceramic air rock on. Some of them look like it's getting better...

I just noticed a few minutes ago that some of my tetras had white spots that look like grains of salt sprinkled on them. It wasn't there a couple hours ago. I did some quick research on this and found it it's called Ich. I don't have access to ich medication, so it seems my best bet is to...

So today at the store I got 6 more neon tetras (they actually gave me 7...sometimes they do that when they catch more than they were supposed to and just dump it in my bag), but it appears that one of them is NOT a neon tetra. It looks the same as a neon tetra except for the color and size...

I use a 60 W underwater heater for my red clawed crabs+neon tetras and I adjusted the gauge to 24 degrees celsius. I noticed that the underwater heater light shuts off after awhile and I can't turn it back on even if I power it off and power it on again. I have to wait a while and then it's...

I added some small fish to my aquarium with red clawed crabs. I'm not sure if they are freshwater fish or brackish or both. RCC do best in brackish water so I was thinking of buying some aquarium salt to add into the water, but I want to make sure first if that's ok with these fish? Here's a...

I leave a little lamp in the aquarium so the bulb gives off heat and keeps the temp. cozy. They like to play/hang around it maybe cuz it's warm? But it's in the middle of the water. When I go to bed, I turn off the light and I'm just wondering if they can still see just fine in the dark...

I have some red clawed crabs and I use a 70 L aquarium. I tried to put in a divider wall and sealed the edges with silicone sealant, let it dry for 30 hours but when I put the water in, it still leaked through to the other side. Mind you, I angled the divider so that there is an...

I set up a home for my 3 red clawed crabs in a 70L size aquarium. I made some heavy dense areas where they like to hide, a tunnel and an underwater area too. I have set up one webcam to always watch them from above while I am at my computer desk working or playing. This way I can always...

I set up a small housing for 3 red clawed crabs, and I put some tiny fish pellet food in there as I found they could eat that. I noticed though a lot of mold (white fuzzy stuff) was appearing everywhere on the food pellets, on the pebbles, and around. I'm in the process of cleaning the housing...

I'm working overseas temporarily and got bored so i picked up 3 little crabs as pets. This is the first time owning crabs so I have lots of questions. First off, I don't know exactly what kind of crabs they are. Fiddlers? Here is the photos of them. If anyone can identify what kind of...
