My blood parrot fishs face has like exploded. It started as a tiny red dot over his nostril and stayed like that for weeks. Then it got worse and became swollen and the red dot grew. After another week, his nostril exploded and bled for a while. I thought maybe it was an absess that popped and...

I bought a balloon molly a couple of days ago and, since she is already obviously balloon shaped, I was unsure if she’s pregnant. I was wondering if anyone could let me know if she is, and how close she is to giving birth to them

oh really? I was told to change 25% every month (I pressed the phone button wrong, it’s not 15. I do 25) I didn’t realise you are supposed to do 50 a week. The nitrite is not completelt 0 but it’s not dark enough to be the next one down so I just say 0. I do have live plants. I do have hard water

the fish has moved into his hiding hole and so I am unable to take a picture. I tested the water parameters and they’re at 0ppm

My friends blood parrot fish usually swims around, watches tv and everything. He’s an active and friendly fish. However, today he is staying in the corner, slightly tilted. He doesn’t want to eat and doesn’t act friendly to us like normal. I was thinking possible swim bladder but have no idea...
