    Ethics question

    So I am very against animal cruelty and really exploiting them in any way for our benefit. I don't buy any animal products or use things that have been tested on lab animals or go to zoos or rodeos or anything like that. So I guess I just kind of feel like a hypocrite because I'm not sure fish...

    Fin Rot

    You should get a larger tank and a heater for your Bettas. They should have a minimum of 2.5 gallons of space each Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Betta with fin rot

    Sorry one more question. He is back in the main tank. I've got the ammonia down to zero. I've heard people say that aquarium salt can help. Any opinions on that? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Betta with fin rot

    He was in his own tank already, the reason I put him in the smaller container at the top is because the medicine would kill the plants and because it would take like ten bottles of the medication to do the treatment for the ten gallon. The water is 78 degrees Fahrenheit Sent from my iPod...

    Betta with fin rot

    Okay another update sorry I have him floating in a Tupperware at the top that is about 1/3 gallons :((( I'm kind of worried about the Tupperware bc it is just something I got from the kitchen. It has been washed with soap and has had food in it. I washed it as best as I could with very very hot...

    Betta with fin rot

    So I have recently concluded that my Betta has finrot. He is a male half moon I believe and I have had him for a couple months. When I got him there was one spot on his fin that looked torn and I assumed that he had injured himself and that it would get better over time but it hasn't it also...

    Plant identification

    Here's something that I picked up at the fish store yesterday. They had it floating but the guy who worked there told me I could put it in the ground. If anyone knows what it is that would be great Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Pregnant platy

    Yup that's normal. It means she is getting close to having the fry Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    I have Fry in my tank.

    Platys will have 20-30 fry at a time. After you have a pregnant platy it will give birth three times about once a month. Might want to consider getting a breeding trap you will be able to save more of the fry Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Cherry Shrimp Tank Mates

    I'm planning on a tank with celestial pearl danios and red cherry shrimp. Scarlet badis is a cool fish as well. Most fish will eat baby shrimp but if you give them lots of hiding places the colony will be fine :) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Fancy Guppy fin rot Treatment?

    I'm not sure how to treat the fin rot but I believe it is very contagious among guppies. Is there any way you can separate your fish? Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

    Why are my fish dying? (First tank)

    If you are doing a ten percent water change you should probably be doing it every week. Some people will do 25% every other week. Make sure you are being thorough when you clean your gravel. Water quality can get bad quickly especially in a smaller tank and when you have lots of fish. :) Sent...

    Open wound on Siamese algae water

    Siamese algae eater has a pretty big cut on his back right behind his head. I'm pretty sure this happened because of the gourami that is in the tank with him. I think that the SAE could have scratched against the driftwood when they were chasing each other around. I'm worried about him he has...
