I got a male betta last week and he's doing great. But over the week he's developed what looks like spit floating on the top of his water, around the edge of the bowl. I wasn't sure what this was? I had to clean his bowl, so I got rid of it, but it seems to be developing again. Anyone have...

:clap: That was very interesting guys! Gave me a much needed laugh! :rofl: I wonder how long such a debate could go on?

Okay. He died last night. He seemed fine until yesterday!! All of a sudden last night he was shooting all over the tank and was laying on his side and then all of a sudden I noticed he was not breathing. The fuzzy spot grew pretty big...not sure if it affected his gill. :S I felt so sad...

Okay...I've been treating my Gourami since he got sick, and he isn't getting any better! Now, the red bump has grown some fuzzy white stuff on it and it seems to be growing! I feel so sorry for him...I don't know if he is in pain. He's eating and mostly acting normal, I'm just worried about...

Thanks for that link...it's really helpful!

My Gourami doesn't have any fuzzy spots on him, just a bump on the side of his head. I've heard about Columnaris before, but I'm not so sure that's what he has.

I have an orange Dwarf Gourami who has been very healthy, however this morning I noticed a raised bump on the side of his head. It's white in color except for in the middle it has a red spot. Does anyone have any idea what this could be and how I should treat it? Should I treat my entire...

I transferred her yesterday and started a treatment, but she died this morning. That's ok I guess...her babies will live on in her place! :rolleyes:

The split fin is not black at the edges...just frayed. The clump isn't exactly fuzzy, just looks like a big clump of white spot. The spots are only on the fins, not the rest of the body, and they are of no specific size...some of them blend together. I know this doesn't help much, but it's...

I've had this guppy for several months and she's been very healthy up until last week. She was the biggest guppy I've had and always very robust. However, last week she developed a few tiny white spots on her fins and now one of her side fins is very ragged and frayed along with her tail fin...

Hi, Does anyone have any suggestions on when to release guppy fry into the main tank? How many weeks after they are born? I released two as a test because they were getting bigger and I wanted to see what would happen. Just a question if anyone has any ideas! Thanks. :whistle:

Hey...thanks all. I'm new to owning fish. Still learning a lot about the different species. :unsure:

Hi, I heard that clown loaches don't get pregnant in captivity. Does anyone know if this is accurate? How do you know whether they are males or females? :dunno: Thanks.

I already have a breeding trap...it's currently storing 10 fry almost a week old. I don't have a clue which guppy gave birth to them! But now, I just don't know when these other guppies are going to have their babies! They look like their ready to go any minute, but I don't want to put them...

Hi, I have a Golden Inca Snail...the only information I could find on them was on an Apple Snail Website. Among other fish, I have two clown loaches in my tank, and every opportunity they have to investigate the snail they are there. The problem is, everytime the snail comes out of it's shell...
