    Black Molly sick?

    Is it swollen or just foggy? Maybe she is just blind in one eye 45 gal. freshwater and 10 gal. female betta tanks

    Betta fish fins

    I had a fish who would bite his tail if he was in a tank smaller than ten gallons. He was a fussy thing, but he got his ten gallon so I guess it worked for him. Maybe once your fish settles into his new home he won't bite himself. 45 gal. freshwater and 10 gal. female betta tanks

    To snail or not to snail?

    I agree with t4runnr. I had four nerite snails (down to one now, old age got the others) and they never reproduced, just laid eggs. I was skeptical of getting snails too but someone told me about these and they've been awesome. 45 gal. freshwater and 10 gal. female betta tanks

    Ghost shrimp dying off

    All I know is it happened suddenly. They all died within a few days. I saw three dead, the others vanished. I assumed the loaches ate their remains. It makes me sad but such is life Will check the water! 45 gal. freshwater and 10 gal. female betta tanks

    Unconsious Fish -gets normal, plays and again becomes unconscious and free floats

    I'm not an expert, but perhaps he knocked himself silly and is drifting from consciousness to unconsciousness? Or maybe he has swim bladder issues and that's why he is floating funny. 45 gal. freshwater and 10 gal. female betta tanks

    Ghost shrimp dying off

    Oh is it only that short? I didn't know that, thank you. And I am unsure about the copper. I just had our water tested but I don't believe they checked the copper. 45 gal. freshwater and 10 gal. female betta tanks

    changing Tanks

    I'm not a pro, but I'm sure ich cant live for more than two weeks without a host, so you could run the filter in the new tank for a few weeks to cycle the tank and give the ich time to die. As for other flukes I don't know much about them. I've only had ich in my tanks. Just my thoughts...

    Ghost shrimp dying off

    There is a piece of driftwood in the tank I got from a lake. I cleaned it, boiled it, the works. It was in there close to the same time I got the shrimp. I don't know if it had something on it that didn't die from me boiling the wood :/ 45 gal. freshwater and 10 gal. female betta tanks

    Ghost shrimp dying off

    I asked this in the unhealthy fish topic but I guess I could have asked it here. I had about 7 ghost shrimp for about two or three months. They were doing great but last week I found a dead one. It was a larger one so I assumed it was old age. Few hours later there was another dead one and a few...

    Ghost shrimp suddenly dying

    I will add that about two months ago, after I got the shrimp, I put in a piece of drift wood from a lake I went too. I boiled it and everything so I would assume it was fine, but I thought I'd mention it. 45 gal. freshwater and 10 gal. female betta tanks

    Ghost shrimp suddenly dying

    This morning I saw a dead shrimp in the tank, all pink and yucky. It was one of the larger ones so I assumed she just died of old age. Well just this afternoon I saw another one had died! The others are hiding, I can only find one under the logs. I just did a water change a few days ago and...

    Hi Can someone help me with my three plattys

    Did you test the water? Sometimes a bit of freshwater perks my fish up. Maybe they miss the puffer lol I have mollies and once in a while they will lay at the bottom if something scared them. Maybe when you took the puffer out it stressed them? 45 gal. freshwater and 10 gal. female betta tanks

    PLEASE HELP - Goldfish, ICK, and questions

    I had to keep goldfish with my mollies for a short time due to a crack in one of the tanks. The water was around 80-82 degrees and the goldfish didn't seem phased at all. They are comets. Worth a try anyway :) 45 gal. freshwater and 10 gal. female betta tanks

    Comet goldfish skittish

    Comet goldfish skittish

    Okay, I have a little bit if explaining to do first, so bear with me! My husband won a goldfish at a fair before we got married (been married for five months). I had a forty five gallon tank for my mollies and we kept the goldfish in there for a while but I wanted to put him in colder water, so...

    What is wrong with my khuli loach.

    I have khuli loaches and haven't seen this spot on them before. Is it fuzzy at all? And this might be a silly question, but do you have a rock or something he can hide under? Mine have a piece of slate rock they burrow under and sleep during the day. 45 gal. freshwater and 10 gal. female betta...

    Please help: Baby betta with bent spine!!

    I'm sorry for your loss :( bettas are the best. If you did want another baby, Petco sells baby bettas. I know Petco is hit or miss with healthy fish, but they are the only place I've ever seen that sold babies. 45 gal. freshwater and 10 gal. female betta tanks

    New tank setup

    I had my 45 stocked with five rainbow fish, three swordtails, and a krib. They all got along just fine! It wasn't planted though. Only reason I Dont have these fish now is because I moved from Missouri to Arizona and didn't want to haul those fish with me. 45 gal. freshwater and 10 gal...

    75 gallons worth of ich...?

    I've only ever done the heat method, so I am not sure about using medicine and salt. I hope someone comes and answers your question soon! My 45g cracked so I'm moving fish around too. :P 45 gal. freshwater and 10 gal. female betta tanks
