    Why do my fish keep dying

    Hi, I seem to be having an issue with my tank and so far every fish Iā€™ve got has died after a few weeks. I have cycled the tank, checked all levels are ā€˜goodā€™ and the only issue I can think of is that our water is hard with a PH of 8. I have had two bettas (not at the same time) but after...

    Guppies seem afraid of new Tank mates

    EDIT: 30.05.22 So, I am not sure if the tetra has/had lockjaw in the firdt place? Is there perhaps something similar to lockjaw? When we got him, his mouth was wide open and he could only move it a little bit. Now after a week of treatment, isolation and a clean hospital tank, his mouth can...

    Sick Guppy

    One of my guppies looks very sick, her spine is bent and she looks thin and she has some kind of stringy material coming out of her (worms?) All of my other fish seem completely healthy lively and normal. I only noticed it yesterday so I did a 50% water change and tested the water (everything is...

    Is my pH too high? Help please

    Hello :) I have a planted 24l tank with four male fancy guppies. The pH in the tank is 8.2, I have read that guppies like it between 6.8 and 7.6. I have a bottle of API pH adjuster, it says 1ml for 38l but it doesn't say how much that actually lowers the water by. I know that sudden changes in...

    Is my pregnant guppy about to give birth?

    I have had this female guppy for about 2 weeks and she's been pregnant since day 1. I just separated her into a birthing container but am unsure if she's actually about to give birth soon. Her belly seems to have that "shape" I've read about and her gravid spot has gotten very big over the last...

    By breeding guppies, am I ā€œsubjecting generations of animals to rapeā€?

    I sent an image of my brand new, 50 gallon, planted guppy breeding tank as I was very proud of it. Iā€™ve been wanting one since I had gotten my 20 gallon guppy tank in October or September. 1 male per 2-4 females or so, all healthy. About 20 of them, soon to be a lot more. A few hours later...

    Fisherman taking care of fish :)

    Hey all, I am a lifelong avid fisherman who is kind of a new fish keeper. Had to take care of my sister's HUGE comet goldfish (we named her Fatty), a severum, and some of those glowing tetras like 3-4 years ago because her work place didn't have any more time to care for them. She brought them...

    I bought a strain of guppy some weeks ago. I haven't taken photo and now my camera's battery is too low. Well they are Japan blue with clear round tail. And what I thought is good aabout this strain is that their dorsal is big and looked like that of red grass. The female had no color. In this...
