sick betta

I think my betta fish, Periwinkle, has internal parasites. One day I came home from school to see that he has stringy white poo. However, that’s the only symptom I see. I’m a beginner, so I thought it’s better to seek help from more experienced fishkeepers. He’s in a 10 gallon by himself...

I got my Betta fish last June. He started out in a very small tank because he was an impulse buy and I was still learning but I have had him in a 2.5-gallon tank for around 7 or 8 months now. In the 11 months that I have had him, he has been a pretty active fish, however, I have been rather lazy...

Hi there, I recently completed my first aquabid purchase--a gorgeous big fin koi half moon male that came from Thailand. I unboxed him Thursday evening, he wasn't dead but arrived with a good bit of his tail fin missing. I couldn't tell if it was fin rot or if he was tail nipping during...

My Betta has been sick lately. At the beginning I thought it was fun for but now I think it is a fungus infection. This is my first Betta I have had since a child and I’m not really sure what to do to help him. He is in a 1 gallon tank with a heater. I know, I should have him in a bigger tank...

Hi! Listen, sorry if I'm posting about this is in the wrong area, I'm new. But really, I'm very worried about my fish. My mystery snail died, and we left him in the tank for a day or two, because he usually just stopped and hid in his shell for a while. I noticed something was wrong when he did...

Hello please help me if you can! I got this betta a few weeks back alone with another Betta that sadly passed. My betta has been weak since the other betta passed (they share a tank) and I'm afraid that he may have gotten sick because of my other betta that passed. Yesterday he was gasping...

I'm afraid my fish, John Quincy Adams, is sick! He had a white spot on his fin when I first got him 9 months ago but it did not grow or change so I left it alone. I've begun to notice that his tail looks like it might be deteriorating and some of his dark blue color is lightening. He has...
