    Fish expel live white worms

    I have a lot of other young platys and guppies I've been growing in a separate tank (and not born in this tank) that I need to move into this tank soon but don't want to until I'm confident these worms have been killed off.

    Fish expel live white worms

    These are definitely not detritus worms. When feeding my fish I sometimes see almost like a liquid expelled from a couple fish downward, like they're peeing. That's when I'll occasionally see a white wiggly worm in the water shortly before it's eaten by another fish. It doesn't just hang...

    Fish expel live white worms

    When I feed my fish, sometimes I'll notice one expel a little white worm. It literally wiggles in the water. I never can tell which fish it is and the worm is quickly eaten by another fish. I've had fish all my life and I've never recalled ever seeing one expel a worm. I've tried Expel-p for...

    Guppies continue to get dropsy and die

    What about lack of oxygen in the tank? Does it appear that any of my guppies are gasping for air? They hang a lot at the top, which I've read they do. As you can see I have great surface agitation from my Fluval 307 (only running at 50%). However, I don't have a lot of open space on my lid...

    Guppies continue to get dropsy and die

    This is only happening to adult guppies in the 53 gallon after they have been removed as babies from the 5 gallon, then moved to grow out 10 gallon tank. Original parents in the 5 gallon are not affected. I've also never lost a juvenile guppy in the 10 gallon grow out tank and they probably...

    Guppies continue to get dropsy and die

    Sorry, been a busy weekend. Water is hard. I used Tetra Easy Strips to get the parameters for KH and GH. API Master Test Kit for PH. KH is 120, GH is 150, PH is 8.0

    Guppies continue to get dropsy and die

    I have a 53 gallon tank with a fluval 307. I keep my tank at 79.5 degrees. Ammonia and Nitrites are 0ppm. Nitrates are never above 20ppm. I breed a pair of guppies in a 5 gallon tank, take the babies out and put them in a 10 gallon grow out tank, when they get larger the babies go into a 53...

    Need help

    Thanks for all of that information and your time. I am able to adjust the colors to whatever percentage I want. Sounds like I should dial down the red and blues to 0 and increase white and green to 100, thoughts? I am using flourish tabs for the two swords. My ferns probably aren't looking...

    Need help

    My Anubias and Ferns are attached to rocks and faux wood. Only the swords are in the substrate but the crown is not.

    Fish babies?

    Do you have nerite snails?

    Need help

    I continue to struggle to grow Amazon Swords and Java Ferns successfully in my tank. Now granted I do purchase them in those tubes from Petco or PetSmart because I don't want snails. Anubias I can grow just fine. I know I didn't select the best substrate in the beginning but I'm not about to...
