Yeah sorry about the pictures, he wasn’t cooperating. I’ll try again today the bulge is on both sides

Hey all, when doing a water change today I noticed one of my Buenos Aires tetras were swollen and had a swollen black eye. It does not seem bothered by either and is still swimming and eating normally. Should I be concerned? Also don’t mind the dirty water I kicked up a bunch of sand :/

I completely agree. I don’t like livebearers at all, but I would make an exception for endlers. And aquascaping would be a great route but unless you can source the materials yourself it can get quite pricey. I think that would be a good option, along with a couple new fish. But they should...

Alright. So looking at your tank im not so sure about bottom feeders. Most of them don’t like the gravelly bottom. And maybe another hide could be helpful. But I like the idea of a school of fish. Do you have anything in mind you were looking at? With your parameters youre looking like you can...

I completely forgot about the aggression between dwarfs… I know that I’ve kept a pair of males together but they had plenty of space and caves to hide in. No issues that I ever saw. I just got lucky though

So im not the most familiar with kribs but I do know that they are relatively peaceful. Your gouramis are about the same, and I’m sure you’ve seen for yourself they get along. Is there any way I can see a picture of your tank? And parameters? That will make tank mates a lot easier to find. I...

Perfect thanks guys. As long as they’re harmless they’ll stay

Hello! I was doing a wc and noticed these little bugs on my glass. I’ve been having a pretty bad algae outbreak and decided to try and do a deep clean and noticed them. Now that the waters lower they’re hopping along the surface. The fish all look healthy and have been acting normally. I think...

Hello! I have a sick angel fish. It is bloated where I’d imagine it’s stomach would be, and laying on its side. It’s still breathing and when I poke it with the net it swims around. But can’t control itself. It spiraled around, and seems to favor upside down. I don’t think it could be dropsy...

That’s great! For food you can just feed them crushed flakes

I have all of the survivors currently in my tank, letting them grow out and pick and chose who I keep and sell. Both tanks would be perfect if you have a sponge filter. Hobs suck them up. I think you’ll have a lot more than four or five survivors if you put them in a second tank It could be...

They can get pretty big before finally giving birth, and the fry are tiny, and usually upwards of 20 fry per pregnancy. I recommend using a smaller tank or bucket to raise the fry, especially if you have a used sponge filter, it helps a lot I had upwards of 30 molly fry, and for some you can’t...

Okay, we got most of the new fish, My three tetras, can’t remember which kind, and two of my six honey gourami One of the two angels, and my discus that will hopefully turn blue and red Full tank

Thanks. I just went for it, two days in and nothing bad yet. Crossing my fingers

Hi! I have a ramshorn snail population in my tank, and I cannot, for the life of me, convince my mom that the snails are good. My question is, if I dosed my tank with seachem cupramine copper, would I A. Have to remove my plants? B. How long would I have to wait to get otto catfish. I would...

Not a chance. It ducks but I’m just going to try and keep the population low with traps for now, and predators later on

ok. It seems like copper would be essentially nuking my tank, thanks for telling me. I read about it and the articles made it sound like the best option. I wouldn’t mind the snails, but they sit on the sand and against the glass and I don’t like the look of that. I also have to keep my parents’...

I don’t know, but I’d only dose enough to kill the snails, then let the tank sit for a couple of weeks with activated carbon. I think that’d get rid of the copper

Good to know, I have to get rid of the snails with copper first then. Thanks.

It’s been a while but nothings really happened. The floating plants all melted, and I got new lights. Rams horn snails took over as well We’ve had an algae outbreak, but that was expected. Are Otto catfish sensitive to copper?
