Hi all, I’m posting a few pictures to see if anyone had seen these white patches/film before. I have since quarantined this sweet molly who I raised from a little fry, so any help would be appreciated. She originally looked like this gradually, but always had an appetite. Then she started...

Hi all, I am posting this for a friend as a last ditch effort, so I do not have all her water parameters but she just placed her powder blue gourami in a QT anyway. He has been lethargic and now very short of breath, and darting around for air. Main symptom seemed to start as red bubble-like...

Hello all, (I have posted previously about my albino cichlid Jack and his tank parameters have not changed except for consistently high nitrates ~30/40ppm); anywho, due to the fact I am about to lose my mind regarding this issue I was wondering if anyone has any sound advice regarding tank...

Hello, I would so appreciate anyone’s response bc my beloved guppy Lil Momma looks really weak and skinny. I am trying to give her a salt dip before I quarantine her, and the amounts of aquarium salt online are so variable... one forum says 5-10 tablespoons per gallon for 30 minutes and another...

Hi all, I would appreciate any advice for these 4 sick guppies. They don’t deserve to die! I’m not sure what they have, but I ordered 10 guppies from AquaHuna, who mailed them priority 2-day from USPS and they ended up taking 5 days to get here, so 3/10 were DOA. Obviously the remaining guppies...

Hi all, I am posting this for a friend. She has had a male betta in a 5 gallon tank for almost one year. He has been relatively healthy until last week, when he stopped eating. He usually hides in his cave anyway, but has been more sluggish than usual. Tank parameters are: Ammonia 0 ppm Nitrite...

Hi everyone, I recently got these two blind cave tetras, and was wondering if anyone had any experience with these. So far, they have only eaten bloodworms for me, and it usually takes them a while to figure out where they are. Also, not sure if my set up is the best for them... right now, I...

Hi all! I wanted to thank everyone for all the wisdom when I was desperate to cycle my tank!!! I was so worried my single albino cichlid, Jack, would not survive it. Or it just would never happen. But a few weeks ago, his ammonia alert patch finally decreased to yellow. I literally pinch...

Hi all, Just wondering if my cichlid could have been mislabeled... I was told he was an “Albino Ahli” cichlid by the store, but he doesn’t really look like that species, when you look up Electric blue haps that are albino. I was thinking he looks much closer to a blue dolphin cichlid. I will...

Hi, I am posting about my albino cichlid Jack, who I’m concerned about. Any advice would be much appreciated. He is in a 65 gallon tank by himself, and I have had him for 2-3 months. He was kept in a small tank at the fish store for 5 months before I bought him. Originally I had him in a 20...

Hi all, I received a 6 pack of neat little pea puffers from AquaHuna and am so impressed by their general health and demeanor. They are social and always at the front of the tank, being their watchful selves and seemingly ready to eat. So as this is my third try trying to keep dwarf puffer...

Hi there! Thanks for the advice for those of us who have trouble with fish-in cycling. Currently I only have freshwater tanks, but I believe only one of them has fully cycled (after 6-9 months for most of the others), and this is after the addition of Bio spira. I also seek out larger...

Hi All! (I also posted this to the getting started thread) I am new to this forum and would greatly appreciate any help or advice you could provide! In a nutshell, I am wondering how important it is to pay attention to the total ammonia versus the free/toxic ammonia when you are cycling a...

Hi All! I am new to this forum and would greatly appreciate any help or advice you could provide! (((Seriously)))I feel like it has been Groundhog Day regarding cycling my fish tanks. In a nutshell, I am wondering how important it is to pay attention to the total ammonia versus the...
