I have a 29 with 6 honey gourami, 10-12 harlequin Rasbora and a BN pleco plus Amano shrimp and snails. I call the honeys my water puppies bc they act like puppies when they want to be fed.

Why are my fish dying? Background information: my fish (in both tanks) survived 10 days without electricity during hurricane Helene. So about 2 weeks later I got some Pygmy cories to add into my 20 long. I got 8 cories and already had a long finned betta and 8-9 chili Rasbora and some pest...

Got to see a famous stingray today. Charlotte is pregnant despite being the lone stingray in this aquarium for the bulk of her life. She’s recently been discovered to be pregnant in December and is due anytime. Handlers believe she impregnated herself via parthogenesis which is very rare.

His condition worsened despite being in an isolation box in the tank so poor guy was dispatched today. Thankfully my husband took care of that part since he has more of a stomach for it than I do.

The classroom tadpoles are looking good. They hatched Monday and seem to be growing well. The teacher has been sharing pics of the progress.

Okay thanks. I’m definitely worried about the eating part, as it doesn’t seem like he can figure out how to get to the food but he has been able to make it to the surface. I’ll keep hoping for the best as I have had the guy for a year now and he had been doing great until now.

Hey all, I’m wondering if anyone has seen this happen and if my fish will recover. Honey gourami (1 of 7) has been swimming erratically for 36-48 hours now. After careful observation I figured out he’s only swimming backwards and turning sideways in sudden jerks (90-180 degree turns). He seems...

The fish must have a brain injury or something. I’ve now realized that the reason he looks so weird swimming is because he’s not able to swim forwards (like maybe his brain has its wires crossed). Only turn arounds or backwards, occasionally getting himself stuck. He’s a little more calm today...

The eye could be the problem, I hadn’t noticed that but it did kind of have a dead look to it. I believe the rest of the honeys are pretty peaceful as far as I’ve observed. And now that my tank lights are back off for their mid day siesta, I’m noticing the fish is finally resting still so that...

This was the video I took last night during feeding time. Since then I’ve done a water change and a few hours later the little guy is now hiding under driftwood in a spot where only the pleco can normally get to. I’m afraid he’s rapidly declining as he’s laying down sideways and seems short of...

I’m currently doing a water change…. I’m hoping that helps. My nitrates are usually around 20ppm
