Yes I’m aware they need sand and stuff I transferred them to this tank temporarily since the catfish started dying. I have more catfish just only these two freaked out and died. All my other fish are fine and the water doesn’t have anything bad it in.

Help just did a water change and my catfish started freaking out and now they arnt moving!!! Ammonia level is 0.25. I also just changed the filter tubes. They are moved to a hospital tank so it’s usually not this small!! Edit: they passed :(

Hi! So I have clear tubing in my fish tank for the filter and also the air stone. Over the last week this red ish pink slime or algae or something grew on it. I’ve dont tons of research and can’t find anything on it. Does anyone happen to know what it is and what causes it? Is it harmful to my...

Thank you! I don’t mind if it is a defect, I was just worried it might be hurting the fish or something.

Hi! I used to keep fish when I was younger and then stopped but recently just got back into the hobby. I currently have a 75 gallon tank. I just schooling fish in their right now like tetras, barbs and some polka dot pictus catfish. I plan on getting a shrimp tank soon.

Hi. Not sure if this is an emergency since the fish seems like it’s doing ok, but wasn’t sure where to post this. I have a diamond tetra I bought at a pet store a few days ago. Its seems as the gill or the part above is stuck open? He was like this when I bought him. He is eating and seems fine...
