    Help! Whatā€™s wrong with my fish?

    I just checked my tank and have noticed one of my Glowlight Tetraā€™s swimming rather strangely. Is this Swim a ladder or something else? Itā€™s only the one fish, none of the others seem to be affected. It seems to keep turning to the side or turning upside down, is there anything I can do to help...

    sick Black Moor Goldfish not eating

    So, I recently set up a 20 gallon tank, it had a bacteria bloom, went through an algae spike stage and took a couple months to get right as I was observing the nitrogen cycle process. Finally, I felt it was ready ( and that was my first mistake) and assumed it was good to go for living fishes. I...

    Sick Discus

    Can anyone tell me what is going on with this discus and if the API general cure will treat it? It's a friend of mine fish and she said it seemed to appear out of no where and that no other fish in the tank are doing it.

    Green Spotted Puffer sick?

    I recently noticed my GSP looking a little weird, I assumed he wasnā€™t eating and maybe it was that. However, he eats and eats but isn't gaining any weight. His top fin also seems to look like it isnā€™t working anymore? Sometimes he swims sideways, or just lays at the bottom at the take. He is...
