    Why is my Rummy Nose Tetra's head white?

    Hi all, I have a freshwater tank with 6 rummy nose tetras and a betta. I noticed today that one of my tetras has a white head. He isn't acting funny, but I'm worried that this may be a disease or infection and I don't want it to spread to the other fish. Water has no ammonia, nitrates, or...

    Was my guppy fish suffering from a disease?

    Hi, Iā€™m wondering if I can have some opinions on what really happened to my female guppy! I bought her 3 days ago from a fish store and was told she was carrying, and would give birth to fry soon. However, upon observing her for the past two days I must say I was wondering whether she really was...

    What is this on my BN Pleco?

    Hi, So I recently noticed some white cotton-ish growth on my male BN, around his gills - started on only one side and then quickly became evident on the other side too. I immediately took some photos and went to my LFS who suggested its probably a fungus (i suspected this!). I purchased some...

    Female cherry shrimp dying? diseased?

    My first generation of cherry shrimp have recently become berried and are ready to hatch the second generation. Seeing as I started with only 4 founders, I'm really happy about it. I've kept them for around seven months now without issue but only now I'm getting some shrimp death. Here's what...

    Does Parasite Treatment Affect Snails?

    I have a platy that has some sort of internal parasite. I was given the medication to treat it but I was told not to use it if I had scaleless fish. I asked if it was ok for the mystery snail and they said they weren't sure. I have Titan Green Water Purifier Parasites and Fungus. Should I remove...

    SOS! Is this a disease on my platy or possibly a cut or missing scale?

    It's a sunset platy and I'm pretty sure he doesn't have ick but I can't be too sure. Anyone think they know whats up with him? I'm really worried if it is a disease he'll infect my other fish and (my favorite) clown pleco. Please help!

    Need help identifying this disease!

    Hi everyone, I have been trying to figure out what disease is afflicting my betta for over a month now. A little backstory - I adopted this Betta when COVID-19 began. It was our "office fish" and unfortunately, lived in a 2.5 gallon, without a heater or filter, for close to a year due to lack...

    Unknown Red Blotch

    I noticed yesterday a bright blood red blotch directly on top of my female Tiger Teddies head. I donā€™t know what this can be. Any ideas? I have a few ideas but want to be sure before I start medicating. Donā€™t want to loose this pair as they are more rare to find.

    Suspected velvet!

    Iā€™m new to fishkeeping, and I was wondering if someone could advise me on these yellow patches that have appeared on my female guppies. Theyā€™re quite small, and are located near the front fins. After doing a bit of research, Iā€™m really worried that Iā€™ve got velvet in my tank, although apart...

    Loosing a fish almost weekly

    For starters, I'm not new to fish.... I have a 55g tank, water tests fine, I have ruled that out already. Tank has guppies/platys in it... Recently I added 2 super pregnant molly/mosquito fish hybrids to it (I breed them as feeders)... Being that they are mostly colorless, I'm wondering if what...

    Is this hole in the head?

    A few months ago I got my first fish tank, cycled it, and introduced fish at staggered intervals until I had 6 neon tetras, 3 Corys, 4 danios and a dwarf gouramis. One of the danios just disappeared so I'm not sure what happened there. However in the last few days I've been noticing what I think...

    White Covering on Fish

    (I am not including water parameters yet, as I just finished a 75% plus water change, but I can add them later.) This tank is about 30 gallons and has been up and running well for about two years. It currently holds 6 Celestial Pearl Danios, 4 Cory Cats and a few Mystery Snails. The Danios...

    Help! What did my catfish die of and is it contagious?

    First off - I apologize as this will probably be a novel. Can anyone help me ID what killed my albino corydora? I've had two for over a year (which I know they need more friends, but I didn't have tank space until very recently and haven't even had a chance to increase their school size), and...

    Help with friendā€™s betta

    Hi all, Iā€™ve got a question about a friendā€™s betta fish. Heā€™s about 4 years old now in a 5 gallon planted tank. A few weeks back he developed a tumor on his side, and now his owner has noticed he has what seems like a possible fungal infection? His head has some weird texturing on it, which I...
