Hello all, I haven’t been active in a while as I started medical school this past year, but all my fish are doing well. Currently still have my 75 gallon South American cichlid/hybrid tank that has been doing great, and also my betta sorority of 5 in my 29 gallon tank (though the plants have...

Hello all, I thought I would make a little journal for what I have learned so far with my betta sorority (Has been very successful!) Any tips would also be helpful. I have a lot of experience in the past with male bettas, but first time trying this set up. Planted standard 29 gallon tank (30 x...

I have completed the treatment with the bettas, I will leave the snails out for a few more days but treated in total 5 days, took 2 days to see no more spots but followed the instruction to still treat several days after. What I do notice now is half my bettas seem lethargic while the other half...

Would the snails be ok if I have them in a larger container without a heater? The room with the aquarium is usually around 68-70 degrees so the water would not be too cold for them but not like the heated tank they are currently in which I have at 77/78 F. Also, are those two ingredients safe...

Hello all, I recently set up a betta sorority tank and it looks like one of them (which is who I would say is the dominant one of the group) seems to have a few white spots on her side. It looks like I caught it early but wanted to get a second opinion. I delt with ich before in my larger 75...

He unfortunately passed away shortly after I made the updated post as he was unable to eat. I tried to give him some skinned peas as they are soft and the smallest food I had but it was no use. First time I have seen one of them with a locked jaw like that. I think he likely injured it

Update: he is swimming more and is less lethargic, but he still seems to have rapid breathing and his mouth is still stuck open, did not touch the food I gave him yesterday. I don’t see any mucus around his gills, no gill flukes protruding from his gills though I will take another look, no...

Hello all, Thought I would update the forum as I believe I figured out what the issue was in case someone has a similar incident. So in order to avoid my severum and EBA clashing during feeding time as my severum gets jealous when he seems the EBA eating, I “trained” my severum to go to the...

Hello all, So one of my polar blue parrot convicts has been acting very strange. I first noticed he was not coming up to eat and found him hiding on the floor not moving much and breathing somewhat fast. His mouth looks like it is also stuck open as he cannot close it all the way. Is it...

I will definitely try changing the diet and pick up some brine or blood shrimp at my LFS, if I have some cucumber I’ll prep some for them as well. I do also acknowledge I have not been the best fish keep the past few weeks as I was in a major car accident and was not able to clean the tank for a...

Not any signs that I see, he has a few small marks on his whole body (not open sores but more surface level damage) as him and the severum in the past would have their territory disputes that has died down.
