It was a different fish but same species and it ended up dying several days later. It looks like its getting worse and I medicated with Kanaplex

This is the 2nd time after a 30% water change that a few days later one of my forktail rainbowfish is suffering from what looks like tail rot? All other fish in my tank look fine. What could be going on? What should I do?

I recently changed my fertilizer a few weeks ago from Fluval Gro+ (which only contains micronutrients) to Easy Green. The reason for the change was because some of the leaves on my pants were whitening and I realize I was only providing micronutrients. However, my plants look much worse since...

My plants have been turning white for the past couple months and I'm not sure why. I have had this tank for 1 year. I just started dosing easy green a couple weeks ago. Before that, I was using Fluval Gro+ which only contains micronutrients. Any suggestions?

I have noticed that the leaves of my Pogostemon stellatus are gone. I believe my mystery snails are eating them. What do you think?

This so infuriating. Now I have 2/6 forktail rainbowfish left. 3 more died today after a small 2 gallon water change in my 10g quarantine tank. I've probably had 30+ fish so far this year with ~10 surviving. Not sure how you all deal with it but fish keeping is just too stressful for me and...

I got into the hobby almost 1 year ago thinking that keeping fish would be calming and therapeutic in my chaotic and stressful life. Well, little did I know that it would have the opposite effect. I've had so many fish die. My entire tank was wiped out by a bacterial infection introduced from...

I don't know if it's just me but a lot of people have reported positive experiences with shipped fish. I have had nothing but bad experiences. I have ordered shipped fish 3 times. The first time it wiped out my entire aquarium. The second time 50% of the shipped fish died. And the third time...

So I just received forktail rainbow fish shipped in the mail and half of them died within hours of trying to acclimate them. I am obviously very disappointed. I tried drip acclimating them using a fluval breeder box. I also added ammono lock during the process. Why did this happen? I am also...

I noticed my hygrophila corymbosa leaves started to become discolored. What could be casing this?
