tropical aquarium fish

New tank setup, I have a Java Fern and some Java moss. Picked up my first fish today (10 Neon Tetra and 6 Pygmy Corys). 3 hours after they were put in my tank this one appeared. Anyone know what this is?

Hi so I’m not to sure but I’m thinking one of my Endler guppy looks quite big, could it be pregnant?

It almost looks like she's drinking the water. She's not doing it constantly; she'll take a break then go right back to it. I hope she's okay.

I heard that heaters could break easily, but mine has a 15-year guarantee so I'm not too worried about it. It has the temperature on it but that can be a little hard to read, so I have a stick-on external temperature marker. Idk what else I'd use. The heater lights up when warming up the water.

UPDATE: Unfortunately my fish passed away shortly after posting this. I did however take some gorgeous shots of her scales. I’m absolutely in awe of the photos. They look majestic, at least I can remember her by looking at these photos. I want to share them with you. My female Betta isn’t...

Hi, yesterday I discovered my Molly gave birth, I found 4 teeny tiny little fry all hiding together so I scooped them up and put them in their own little hatchery. However, one of them I’ve noticed is struggling to keep afloat. It can swim, but it spends most of the time on the bottom. It’s...

Hi, I’m wondering if I can have some opinions on what really happened to my female guppy! I bought her 3 days ago from a fish store and was told she was carrying, and would give birth to fry soon. However, upon observing her for the past two days I must say I was wondering whether she really was...

Hi guys, I'm new here, hoping I can get some reassurance. Purchased a brand new AquaOne Lifestyle 55ltr tank about 3 weeks ago. Started with a fishless cycle, with only Ammonia going up to 2.0 during this time (no nitrites or nitrates). I buckled for Christmas and put in 4 Neon...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. I recently bought a group of 6 corydoras for my 35 gallon aquarium. They are on their second week of quarantine and I'm worried because one of them is not eating. Since the beginning I noticed that it has a weird curvature on its spine and I haven't seen it...

My parrot cichlid (Jellybean) is in a 54 gallon community tank. Ive had him for a year. He has developed a gill issue. Ive tried treating it with api general cure. He seemed to look a bit healthier but now has become shy and appears as if breathing is labored. He wants to eat all his food but...

I have just taken over my dad's tropical fish tank and I am having so much trouble with the heater. I plugged it in and set it to the temperature he had it on which I think was 26? It was hard to see. Worked fine, water was lovely and warm. I put my hand in the next morning and it was boiling...

I recently was given two new pea puffers. A friend of mine thought they'd be fine in a 2 gallon tank so he bought them last week thinking they were cute. He soon realized after a day or two they were too much work, and handed them over to me. I had an empty 10 gal, but it wasn't cycled upon...

Hello everyone. I have had a 30 gal tropical community tank that I started about 5 years ago and have really been getting into the hobby in the last year or so. This is a tank we had started for the kids and at this point it is mostly a mix-match "survivor" community of fish that have made it...

Hi there, Today I woke up to feed my ish and I noticed a clear dangling thing coming out of my gouramis poop whole. I’m worried it might be a worm??!?! If so, how do I remove it? Can I pull it out with tweezers? Cheers

hi guys I am buying a 60 litre tank soon and I'd love some inspiration for fishy ideas. I'd love some top/middle and bottom action going on however, I know I can't have too many with it not being massive. Any ideas would be massively appreciated on types of fish etc to get ideas going :)...

I’ve had a rainbow shark for 3 days now.. he still hasn’t turned fully black and he barely swims around. He’s in one position floating for hours and I’m concerned something is wrong. I’ve seen him eating algae but ever so often. My tank is 25l (I am aware this is small, I will upgrade to a...

hey everyone, My landlord has come over and we are due to have some electric works being done in the house and the power could be off for 3-6 hours in a couple of weeks. I will need to keep the tank warm and oxygenated. Any tips from anyone who has had this sort of thing before? Thanks

Hi, I'm Tom, thought I would join a community to share experiences, thoughts and ask for some help once and while, I wouldn't say I an expert but have kept Tropical Fish before growing up and do have one to this date just under 1 year old now. I have a Fluval Roma 90L which is a very good...

The ultimate fish newbie here! I set up my tank in January this year with my friend's help (she works in a pet shop and has training with setting up tanks, fish ect.) and its been completely empty since then until last week, I've done regular cleans and its passed all water tests including...
