Hi guys So basically my tank went through an ammonia spike and this seems to have taken a massive effect on my betta. He is not looking well at all even though I have managed to get the ammonia down. Black gills, heavy breathing, pine coning, not eating unless i use tweezers to put food near...

Has anyone successfully used the water conditioner 'Neutral Regulator' by Seachem to successfully cycle their tank? It says that it 'removes' ammonia but is this really 'removing' or just making it 'less toxic'... how do I really know? Can anyone recommend water conditioners that are good for...

Ammonia spiked to 3ppm, noticed betta was lethargic, losing appetite and slightly pine-coning. Showing classic signs of ammonia poisoning. I did a 90 percent water change and that brought the ammonia down to 0ppm. My tank is now in the process of cycling with fish in the tank. LAst time i...

Can someone please give me step by step instructions. Ill be doing a salt bath for my betta.

Basically, what happened was I medicated my tank with Triple Sulfa from API and it has caused my beneficial bacteria to die causing ammonia spikes of 1-2ppm. I thought I was doing good for my fish (a few had some white stuff on them) but I have now caused stressful ammonia levels and the fish...

Hi I noticed my betta was becoming really lethargic, he hadnt eaten in 2 days which is extremely weird for him. My cories were swimming all over the place, they seemed stressed out. I tested my water and the ammonia tube turned a bright green colour (1-2ppm). My tank has been running for a good...

Hi AA community, I believe my little neon has developed cotton mouth. I have never had a disease in my tank before so i am fairly new to treating diesases. I did some research and i am certain he has it. I went out and brought some tri sulfa and melafix. I have taken out ordaments and got my...

Hi everyone, So I am 99 per cent sure my neon tetra has some type of fungus. It has white spots all over it and they are kind of cottony looking.. the white stuff raises from the surface of his scales. I can see it in his mouth aswell. How do i treat this? I am in AUS so im not sure if our...

I currently have about 15-20 brittlenose albino pleco fry in my aquarium. My tank is way to small to hold all of these babies so I would like to give them away asap. Does anyone know the appropriate age at which i can do so? Right now they are very small and are translucent. They are all...

I really wasn't planning this. The babies are so small and see through. I've counted about 7. I want them to survive and grow a little bigger so I can give them to a pet shop or sell them/give them away to a good home. Do i just carry on like normal and let them do there thing? The tank is only...

I noticed this morning that one of my cories is completely missing his back tail and fin. It nearly looks like he is chopped in half. The end looks kind of feathery like it's growing back already. He is breathing really fast and stressed out but he was also eating and swimming around. I turned...

Its the Blue Planet Serene Life Kingdom 100 L I just moved my fish from the 70 L (18 gal) to the 100 L (26 gal). They seem to really like the extra space. Also, if anyone has any experience with this type of tank, let me know :) I currently have: 1 betta 5 neons 4 sterbas cories 2 BN...

I never knew I had a male and female pleco, they bred and I found a cluster of eggs and then the betta went into the little nest area and ate them. The betta now has a very large tummy and the dad pleco looks like he is freaking out and hyperventilating. The mum is just sucking on some glass...

Its been running for about a year now and the last few months its been turning on and off so i think i'm due for a totally new filter, plus i need a bigger tank anyway. My current is 20 gallons. I want at least a 40 gal. Anyway- getting off topic.. my initial question is: What can I do to keep...

It's also a community tank with a betta, neons and cories. If hey have babies, my tank will be well over stocked. Plus won't the betta eat the fry? I feel bad

This is what the package says that the filter came in: "pressurized tank-top filtration system, complete 3 stages filtration with sponge, active carbon and bio-balls inclusive" Does this mean i have to change the filter media because its active carbon? My tank has been set up for about 8...

Ive have had my 20 gallon set up for a good 6 months now. Only recently i have noticed 1 of my 4 corydoras acting werid. His very skittish and freaks out easily, he breathes REALLY fast if there are ANY types of loudness/sudden movement around the tank. Its like he has anxiety/panic attacks. All...

I have a betta 4 corys 2 small brittlenose plecos 6 neons I started off with 4 neons and lots of people told me they need to be in groups of 6 or more so I went ahead and brought 2 more neons to make 6 all together. Ive noticed they nip my bettas tail and they chase/nip after eachother. They...

So I just noticed 1 of my neons swimming with his head pointed towards the ground and it looks like he is bobbing backwards and forth as he swims with his head down and tail up. All my other fish are fine. I dont think its ntd as he was fine 30 mins ago and I cant see any buldging eyes or...

Ive been through a self inflicted hell and back with my fish. Something was up and I was being paranoid as usual thinking it was parasites, Infections and blah blah blah. Turns out all I needed to do was add some friggin (pardon my french) drift wood. SO SIMPLE. My fish couldnt be happier and...

Im starting a fresh thread because i really want to get to the bottom of this. If someone who had experience with sick fish, it would really help alot as im a beginner and not that experienced. The fish: 8 neons (4 died previously) 4 sterbai cories 1 betta These fish have been in the tank...

It started on the fin and now half his body is black. 4 of his friends have already died. There is 4 left and i bet he will die next. Not sure if its a parasite? My other fish are fine. Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 10 and ph 7.6 He seems to be schooling and eating just don't know why he is...
