Hello! I’ve had my tank about a year now so I’m relatively new to the hobby. In the past I’d only ever tested ammonia, PH, nitrite & nitrate but recently I decided to test KH & GH as I’ve had a couple of guppy deaths. I’ve read various articles but honestly I’m still none the wiser on what safe...

Hi all. I’m looking for some advice on what could be wrong with my guppy. I’ve noticed his tail seemed to have dropped and also changes colour but didn’t think much of it. I think he gets chased a fair bit by the other fish and I thought this was the reason for his tail changing colour due to...

Hiya! This morning the little guy has something hanging out of him. Can’t tell if it’s where he poos from but it’s definitely near. Is this likely to be worms? Also do you know if he’s likely to survive long in this condition?

Also none of the fish do white stringy poo. I was always conscious of checking for that but all seems normal! I only feed 3-4 times a week at the moment . Is this an issue ?

Hi! Has that info helped give any ideas? I feel so sorry for the little guy with his bloated abdomen but no clue what to do🥺

I always wash the filter media/filter in tank water. I’ll try and get some photos of the tank aswell
