Hello, my betta is suffering from popeye. I believe (now) it is from a physical injury since it’s unilateral but I wanted to post here to be sure. I have a planted cycled 20G that was looking worse for wear when I discovered the popeye. However, I know the injury showed up overnight since I feed...

I have 3 Sunset thick-lipped gourami and I was wondering how much should I be feeding them regularly? I’ve been basically guessing by feeding them as much their two eyes are together since I heard a fishes stomach is the size of its eyes. However, I have 9 harlequin rasboras that peck off their...

Never too late to start! Welcome!

I’m looking at your post with wide eyes because of the last couple of days I had them! Compared to bettas they are fiesty! I can see how they are in the same family however. Than Thank you for your help again! I’ll keep my eye out. It is less dominant female taking the most exclusion. But other...

So I have had my trio (1M 2F) in the 20G L for 3 days (today being the start of the 4th). They get along well every other time of the day besides feeding time. They will eat together with no chasing right up until the food gets sparse. They then begin to defend their territory and give a chase...

Thank you so so incredibly much for your help. I honestly would have been clueless without you.

If your tank was not completely cycled when you added him, then it could have completely thrown off the cycle and led to an ammonia spike. We’re you checking all of your parameters daily? I’m curious if it was a planted or regular gravel and silk plant tank? Before I did planted tanks, there...

Hello, I was wondering if I’m going to be able to keep the now 1M and 2F in my 20G L or if i’m going to have to upgrade them immediately/return them? I can get them a set up in around 2 weeks, but if they grow rapidly Im unsure what would be best. Right now, they measure at about 2 inches. I’ve...

I have 3 sunset thick lipped gouramis in my planted 20GL. (1M 2F). Right now they measure at about 2 inches, and am wondering if I will be able to keep them inside the 20 or will they need to be upgraded to a 29? As well if I will need to upgrade them immediately/return them or this will be okay...

Exact same here. Last betta I had was super aggressive and my current beta is in a community tank and doing very well. He only flares that them when they get in his corner. Never nips or has killed a thing.

Yes I witnessed it myself. However this morning there is aggression during feeding. Unsure if it’s just because of the male defending his food. Or two males battling it out. I’m definitely going to my LFS to either return or get another female.

Thank you for your kind advice. I’ll see about getting some females tomorrow!

These rips are not from each other. My LFS had them in a tank with fin nippers. Or at least I have not witnessed any fin nipping so far. They seem very calm right now and have been swimming with each other for a while now with no aggression. So this is why i’m unsure. I’m sorry if I portray...

Thank you for the important note!

Here’s a better couple of pictures.
