Hi we added some Neon Barbs around 1 month ago (aquarium been in the go for around 1 year). Do partial water changes around once a month, and test the water regularly etc. 1 of the Neon barbs is really bloated. Looking for any advice on how to resolve. All other fish seem to be fine. Thanks

Hello again Family! My tetra is huge but I’m not sure if she’s filled with eggs or just bloated. Now if you look at the background those are all OLD dead eggs from some time ago. But when that took place, she was no where near this big. Also, I do have a male tetra in the tank with her.

Hello everyone, hope you're all having a great day. I'll start by writing about my tank setup: Housing: How many gallons is your tank? 5gal Does it have a filter? yes, sponge. Does it have a heater? no What temperature is your tank? 80F stable (live in tropics) Does your tank have an air stone...

Hello, I’m new to this website and not sure if I posted this under the wrong forum, I apologize if I did. I’ve had these dwarf frogs for about a month and got them from a private fish store.

So I bought 2 dwarf gouramis about 5 months back and after around a week one died. I put this down to stress as I didn't see any symptoms, he just died but now, the remaining one has recently had a long string of white poop coming out of him constantly so I fed mashed peas for a few days. We now...

Help! My red flame dwarf gourami looks bloated and keeps getting bigger. Also he is gasping and not breathing normal. Can’t tell if it might have the dwarf gourami disease or possibly pregnant. We also have a powder blue dwarf gourami who is just fine and possible making a bubble nest. We got...

So this is an update on my sick Female Molly. Hoping to get some more insight. Current situation is she has been bloated and floating tail up for over 24 hours now. We moved her to a hospital tank yesterday @ 3 pm and is still hanging in there (literally) but now I’m noticing her eyes look a bit...

Female Dalmatian Molly showing multiple symptoms, on & off. First bloating, then hiding behind heater tail up, then stringy poop, still has appetite but will NOT eat peas. Head shaking on & off. My head is starting to spin trying to narrow down what exactly is happening with her. Right before...

My female Mikrogeophagus Ramerizi is looking very bloated, and she’s only sitting at the top of the tank with her body tilted towards the surface. All other fish in the tank are fine. Could this be because I’ve started using frozen foods more often, or those little tabs you stick on the side of...

As the title says: I have a pregnant guppy, been rather inactive for two days, which I know is fairly normal for pregnancy, but today she has developed a bulge near her anal fin. Surprisingly, she has come out of hiding, and is much more active than the last two days, but the bulge is...

Hello! My Betta Fish, Zeus, is becoming bloated after every time I feed him. I have 3 Betta fish all in the same size tanks and the other 2 are fine. I feed them a pinch of flakes (tetracolor) every 4 days about. I have been feeding them this for years and it has always been beneficial so I do...

First Post. Just noticed my silver tip tetra with a huge belly, the skin around it looks sore. He or she is still active but struggling slightly. Any idea what this is? Got a photo attached. Thanks all

Hello Tropical Fish Forums! I'm a long time reader, first time writer. Can you please help me figure out if my betta is egg bound, constipated, or has dropsy? Video for reference: . Symptoms: Swollen belly for about 2-3 weeks. I first noticed when I got my male betta. They were never housed...

My betta has had a swollen belly for the past couple of days. He's still swimming around, wanting to eat, and overall acting pretty normal. I'm worried because after researching I discovered something as horrible as dropsy exists. I've looked at the all the symptoms and looked at Bruce. There...

Hi, this is my first post on this website. I'm unsure whether this is in the right category or even whet her I am doing this right so if it's wrong feel free to amend this. Here goes nothing.. I have had a fairly fat weather loach now for just over a month I'd say with another loach, a green...

Hello peoples. My betta that I've had for about a year now seems to be having some problems. I first noticed about a week ago that it was a bit lethargic and not moving as much as it usually does. It seems to have no energy, doesn't swim around, and is always resting on top of things. Today as I...

My male guppy has been very bloated for almost a week. (Picture 1) Wasn't sure of the cause so I did a few Epsom salt baths with no resolve. Hadn't eaten or pooped in days and looked like he was going to pop. I quarantined in bowl and treated with smaller doses of Epsom salt and changed...

This is what happens when I try to ensure that my otocinclus' get fed. This piggy (and his four endler friends) gorge themselves and now this guy seems in a pickle. Seems he can't poop. The only way I can make sure my ottos get fed is to distract the fish with a small piece of algae wafer or...

So Ruth, my year and a half old betta, decided to eat *an entire tetra algae wafer* intended for the two mystery snails that occupy his tank. I had not given them algae wafers previously, so did not expect Ruth to be such a piggy; he had also just had three frozen blood worms. 24 hours later...

Hello all,   (Sorry for coming here only when I have a problem...    )   We set up this tank 1.5 years ago, and after the first difficult 6 months it was finally fine, cycled (Nitrite 0, Ammonia 0 - 0.25, Nitrate 20 - 40), peaceful, perfect. Well, almost perfect, since we had only 4 small fishes...

Hello all.   I have a small 15 u.s gallon tank which I have set up as a planted community tank, mainly with live bearers for the enjoyment of my 5 year old boy (and myself, of course).   It is a busy little set up with plenty of plants, bog wood and live rock. It has been well cycled and has...

I think I must have overfed them! I noticed that the cories, especially the Hasborus, looks bloated and heavy! I have since fast them for two days now.. Is there anything I can do to help with their bloatedness?? Tks a bundle!

I have a 25 gallon freshwater fish tank. I woke up this morning turned on the light and went bathroom just like every morning. Then after I used the bathroom I can back and fed them like usual. Then I started watching them and one of my guppies at first was laying on the bottom not coming to get...

Hello everyone! I'm new here but would love to start chatting! I have 2 dalmation mollies and 2 sunburst platties in a 10 gallon tank together. Both of the dalmation are girls and both the platties are males. But the last two or three days I noticed one if my mollies getting a little larger...

Hi guys - new to this forum and to fishkeeping. We bought our first tank in January this year (2012). We bought a 30L BiOrb (not the round space helmet looking one). It has a rock base (not sand) and various ornaments and plastic plants. We have a heater and use the air filter that came with it...
