This is very strange, I have a total of 5 danios, and 2 of them have strange red lumps on their stomachs. I think they are both male, as they have always been way thinner than a few of my other danios. I don't know what they could be from and must have apeared very radily because I check my...

So are you basically saying I should kill her? I don't know if I can do that. I feel really bad for her, I guess I'll have to get a air bubbler, or just try to make sure she gets enonugh food every day in the tank she is in now.

I have a really old guppy that I think has gone blind, she runs into things and seems to aimlessly hunt for food when she smells it, but doesn't go directly at it. She is also very very skinny. I have her and a bunch of other fish in a 55 gallon tank, and I think she would do best i a small tank...

Hi Minxfishy, I actually just ran out of testers for nitrate and nitrite, I had strips, but this time I am going to get the liquid. The strips are worthless. I do try to match the temp. for the fish. (I've become used to 50% water changes, :S) I go by touch, is that an appropriate way to do...

I Have a 55 gallon tank, it has been set up for about 6-7 weeks now I have used bio spira on it, it appeared to work as there was a bacterial bloom, but at the time my tank was overcrowded so my ammonia continued to rise anyways. That was about 2-3 weeks ago. Three days ago I finally found homes...

Alright I will continue to do that, They seem to be doing alright but I know they are not happy. One of my guppies had babbies last night, I don't know how many since the danios are crazy hunting them. I am feeding only once a day now and doing partial water changes, I have ordered a Rena XP2...

ok i have my results ph is around 6.8 and ammonia is around 0.5-0.7 oh and nitrite/nitrate are 0 or so close it barely made any color they didnt have the refrigetated bacteria. but i was very worried about the level being so close to 1.0 that i got a white carbom filter for a 20 gallon to...

I will get those results to you soon, I need to go get some ammonia testing strips. I took my water into the petstore to be tested and she didn't tell me exactly how high the ammonia was. and I was lied to, I was told that the 5 in 1 testing strips tested for ammonia when they don't so now I...

Hi everyone I am having trouble with my new tank, I had no choice but to aquire all of my fish at the same time because I adopted them from a lady who could not care for them any more. I will explain my whole setup and type of fish: I have a 55 gallon all-glass setup with an aqua-tech 30-60...
