    Diamond tetra with bloat?

    I t doesn't sound like a constipation problem, but hey, throw in a cooked pea (without shell of course) and see if the bloating goes down. I had a Dalmatian Molly that had swim bladder problems.

    Suicidal Gourami

    My Golden Gourami just rammed the side of the tank a couple of times. Is this a normal behavior of gourami or is she having issues? Water is perfect, temp is 81. It was a loud smacking sound that i heard 30 feet away.

    Water test from big box petstore

    I bet they are using test strips instead of liquid tests. I know the petsmart a few miles away does because they tried to tell me to buy the strips. I said i heard they aren't that reliable and she said they use them for their tanks, and that they are fine.lol
