So I woke up this morning and my smaller goldfish has dropsy. I new somthing was wrong but couldnt figure out what. I am assuming my other has it as well but...
Just a quick question for anyone...... Can goldfish and tropical fish be fed with Mysis & Artemia? I was just wondering seeing as the marine fish love it so...
How did you come to the conclusion it was dropsy for the goldfish and HITH for the ID Shark (catfish)? Those are both rather rare diseases. I do not recall...
I need to move my plec to a bigger, well established tank. Yesterday, while making a water change for the smaller platy tank. I figured I should acclimate him...
my name is Raven and i have a 55 gallon freshwater tank which includes, 3 buenos aries terras, 4 black tetras 2 green severums, 2 angelfish 4 danioms, 4...
I assumed dropsy because of the pine cone shaped he has this morning but after reading more he is not bloted, instead he is super skinny this morning it pretty...
What are the water parameters of the two tanks? Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, GH, KH, temp? Do you have a filter running on the temporary tank? I think you...
So the scales are sticking out like a pinecone but the goldfish aren't bloated? That's not dropsy. Can you take pictures of the fish from the side and top so...
The smaller one passed about a half hour ago. It was swimming this morning and then just gradually started to be pushed by the currents. It was a white...
Wow... quite a mix of critters. Did you do a lot of adopting/saving? What kind of "African frogs" do you have? ADF's (D=dwarf) or ACF's (C=clawed)? ADF's do...
As the seasons change so does pond care. From knowing when to stop feeding normal foods to taking in your plants and tender fancies, knowing how to test is...
my frogs are dwarfs and the bamboo is sunken, i really don't plan on getting any more fish and yes i did hear that the severums can get to be 12" long but that...
Melafix is not nearly strong enough to deal with something like HITH-HLLE disease. It's OK for treating minor things like fin rot and to help in healing of...
I always match the pH when adding new fish. I do it during the quarantine…starting with a matching pH and changing it over to my pH over the course of three...
Hi all. I’m new here. My name is Lisa. I have two tanks. Both small. One houses a betta on a permanent basis. When one dies, another takes his place. And a...
Hi Lisa and welcome to the group. I'm sorry but your 12" tank, presuming it's only around 5-6 gallons, isn't big enough for the fish you have already so please...
Thanks everyone! Well, "the best laid plans of mice and men" ... my benefactor turned the bio-filter off two weeks ago; so all is lost, right? I can't...
Thanks. yeah i thought i'd just check before i did buy any loaches. The 12inch tank has plastic and silk plants, and is not big enough for a filter. Hence the...
Wouldn't get here any faster than me picking one up this weekend, and I can
check the expiration date personally. Also don't have to pay shipping. Bill ... ...
Were you ever able to learn anything about the history of the tank? Was it diseased or had unexplained fish deaths? Yes, with the filter turned off, more...

Are guppies supposed to come to the surface when being fed, or do they catch what falls on the way down pick up what hits the gravel. Is that normal guppy...
My fish didn't think they were being fed enough so they started tearing apart the aquarium plants that I recently put in the tank. I came home and found my...
My guppies feed from the top of the tank too, I think this is normal. My tank contains barbs, guppies, mollies and 1 swordtail and they all scavenge when fed,...
