So I got a new male betta at Petco two days ago and when I questioned them about it having fin rot I was told that it was just the way this one looked. Well upon having him home for two days it looks a lot like fin rot on the tips of his fins to me. Do you think it looks like fin rot? If so...

Okay so I used to always get my love plants from my lps but I was being so overrun by pond snails so I stopped buying but I've been missing live plants. When I was at Petco today I saw that they had live plants in water as well as live plants in plastic containers without water. I know that's...

So a women I know has one oto catfish in a HALF GALLON bowl by itself without any algae. So someone didn't do their research! I offered to take him for her. I have a 10 gal community tank with peaceful fish and plenty of algae for him, but I am pretty stocked. I know they do best in groups but...

So I have a 10 gallon tank with 3 platys, 3 cories, and a few platy fry but I really want to get rid of the platys because they are very messy and I always have to worry about stock with their breeding. I want to keep my 3 cories and was thinking of maybe adding a dwarf gourami? Would it get...

So I have 3 cory cats (yes I know they should be in groups of at least 6) and when I first got them about a month ago they all had these bumps on their undersides but they just kind if went away. Now it looks like they have them again. My albino has the most prominent one. They are swimming and...

So I've had my male butterfly betta for about a month now and he's always had kind if crumpled fins (mostly his bottom fin) Is this normal or is there something wrong that I can fix? It just seems strange and I've never seen another betta with fins like that Kind of hard to tell from the...

So my power just went out and will probably be out for a while due to very high winds. I have a 10 gal community tank and a 3 gallon betta tank that are both heated. Will my fish be okay without the heaters? My house probably won't get under 70°. What can I do to help the temperature from dropping?

So this morning I woke up and realized one of my pregnant platy fish doesn't seem pregnant anymore, but she didn't seem to be far enough into a pregnancy to give birth? She wasn't squared, no mood change, etc. Well now it looks like there's a fry hanging out by her anal fin. It just looks like a...

So I've been reading up a little bit on air stones and wanted to know what you all thought. What's the exact purpose? If you have one, do you think it makes a difference in your aquarium? I want to get as much info on them as possible before I purchase

So I got some platties about a month and a half ago. One of my females have birth on April 7th. So it's exactly a month later and I can tell she's pregnant again, but this pregnant seems way different. She isn't as big or nearly as square as she was with her last pregnancy but she's acting the...

So I got rid of some of my fish and now I have 4 platys (3 females, 1 male) but would like to add something else to my tank. Maybe bottom feeders, catfish, shrimp, etc. Do you think I have the room to add anything else? If so, what do you think I should add?

So I had a batch of 15 fry born a little over a week ago. I kept them in the breeding box but I decided to let them out in my main tank today. I think a few got eaten but now my other platys aren't trying to eat them or anything. I have a 10 gal with 5 adult platys in it right now along with...

So I was feeding my fish this morning and noticed I was missing a fish. I looked around and found one of my female platys swimming weird and bumping into decorations, glass, etc. she then just laid at the bottom of the tank and I was sure she was dead. She's got back up and started swimming and...

So one of my platys has been pregnant for about 3 1/2 weeks (estimate) she isn't super big but she is very translucent so I can see all the little fry inside her and they look like they are ready to pop out. Yesterday morning I could only see a set of fry eyes and now I see 6+. I did put her in...

I was wondering if 2 or 3 ADF would be okay in a 2 or 3 gallon tank? Also since it is small and I will be cleaning it weekly, will it need a filter?

So I was just looking around at my tank and saw a tiny little gray snail on my glass. I'm assuming it probably came on a live plant and I never saw it. I tried to get the best pictures I could. Should I get rid of it or is it a harmless snail?

I have a 10 gal planted tank with 6 platys in it right now. I would really like to get a few bottom feeders or algae eaters. I've heard a lot about amano shrimp, otos, and corys. I just really do not want to overstock my tank. Let me know what you think would be a good thing to add and why. Thanks!

Here's pictures of my second female platy that looks to me like she could be pregnant. What do you think?

I just recently got 3 platys from my local pet store and wound up with two pregnant females. One looks a lot more pregnant than the other though. She is looking square, is very dark around her gravid spot, but is eating fine and isn't acting any different than normal. It looks like she's about...
