    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...

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

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...

    Balloon Molly sick or near birth?

    Hello fellow fishkeepers! I was hoping someone on here has enough experience with breeding balloon mollies to tell me if this is normal "very pregnant molly going to give birth" or some kind of illness like dropsy (which I know can look similar)? I've had my balloonies since around last...

    What in the world is killing all my fish

    The pleco has since died and I assume the other is going to be gone very soon. I havenā€™t had any luck identifying this but it seems to affect every fish in the tank besides the tetra which Iā€™m not surprised cause those guys are known to be extremely hardy. Honestly expecting this entire tank to...
