Hello, I have a 75 gallon Cichlid tank, I live in Minnesota and our power went out for about a day and a half. I keep my tank at about 78 degrees usually but durring the power outage the house got very cold and my tank water got down to low 60s. Earlier today our power finally went back on and...

Hi, I have a 75 gallon tank with cichlids. I have both mbuna and peacock. The two types leave eachother alone but one of the peacock was getting severely billed by two other ones. So I bought a tank divider which immediately helped he used to just float and barely breath but now he’s swimming...

Hi, I have a fancy/oranda goldfish (fluff) that I noticed is being pushed around by two of my other goldfish. I've had it for almost 3 years now, One of the fish that is picking on it is a shubunkin that I've had for almost a year, they always got along well and would just swim in circles around...

This morning the redness has gone down a good amount so that’s good

I’m not completely sure but when I look at it the scales seem to still be there but it’s swollen so it looks like they are gone, I also rarely see the pleco interacting with the fish other than a few times he comes out to eat the pellets when I feed them but then swims away, he’s really shy but...

Ok, thank you I did about a 40% water change today and the nitrates seem to be around 40ppm now (I did a test strip this time to do a quick check I’ll test more accurate later) and he is still acting normal and it hasn’t gotten any worse just a bit swollen Here’s some pictures I took today, one...

Hi, I saw my goldfish just now and it’s all red like he’s bleeding or something, does anyone know if this is bad, or if they cover from this as any animal would from a wound? he is acting pretty normal, eats and swims around the tank. i do have some rocks in my tank so maybe he hit himself on...

Yeah, by dirty I just mean the brown algae is covering everything again, The water is still clear. The water seems to have some nitrates, no nitrites. I only have the tester strips right now so I can’t test for the ammonia.

Hi, I have a pleco in my 75 gallon with cichlids. The past month or so it has been pretty inactive and my tank has been getting dirty. I’ve had it for about a year and I’m not sure if they get lazier as they age and get larger. Maybe it’s a temperature issue as it is becoming cooler where I live...

I think I’m going to feed him some peas and clean the tank, if nothing happens or gets better I’m going to put him down.

I have these two photos, i feed then omega one goldfish sinking pellets I’m not sure if I should just put him down since it’s not getting any better, he does seems to be darting around a bit too.

Hey, my comet goldfish got really bloated a couple weeks ago but hasn’t acted any differently. It still eats normal and zooms around the tank. it also has some tumors which have gotten a little worse and even black while this bloating has happened. at first I thought it was dropsy but it’s...

The scape and decor isn’t exactly good looking, but it’s the fish that makes the aquarium pretty.
