    Glowlight Tetra weird behaviour.

    I have 10 Glowlight tetras in my 160L aquarium. One of them has been acting very odd recently. It is moving very slowly and opening and closing its mouth a lot.

    Recovering from a disaster

    A while back I forgot to turn off the heater during a water change - I caught it pretty quickly but the shock killed most of the fish in the tank. Looking at the heater filter cord and all the other cords around it - they basically melted. Then, around the same time, we were working on my new...

    Hey everyone! I'm relatively new to this forum but was looking for some advice. I'm setting up a 55-gallon tank (48" x 13" x 21") and would like it to be a community tank. I've recently been really into schooling-tanks with many different kinds of schooling fish. For example, one fish keeper...

    Filter too strong!

    I recently got my first fish, 6 cardinal tetras. However one of them actually got sucked into the filter and unfortunately passed away, and they had been swimming mostly at the bottom of the tank which I thought was due to not being comfortable in the new environment yet but when I turned off...

    Unusual Fish

    Hello! I am not great with this forum stuff, but I really cannot figure out what this fish is! We were given some more Tetras and some Guppies too. Amongst those was this strange fish. Iā€™m not sure if Iā€™m being stupid or if it is genuinely an unusual cross breed. Does anyone have any answers for...

    Need Help with Glofish Tetra

    I cycled my 10 gallon (https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/glofish-glass-aquarium-kit-10-gallon) tank for about 3/4 weeks and saw the spikes of nitrites and ammonia then both hit 0 and the nitrates were at a pretty good level. From what I had read, it seemed like the whole cycle was...

    3 Guppies dead, is this a disease?

    So two nights ago I realized that one of my guppies had died. I didnā€™t see anything wrong and I figured that it was just of old age or something since he was an old fish. Then another one died and another! I have recently added two new lamp-eye tetras (in addition to my one already in the tank)...
