You're right. His fins do look tattered. I don't believe any other fish are doing it because they never go around him. He did come out to guard his brine shrimp pellet last night so he is eating or interested in eating. I don't have a quarantine tank but can get a hospital tank maybe for him...

I could use some help, please. My betta seems to be depressed? Is that even a thing? I was on vacation and had an inexperienced pet sitter that had specific feeding instructions. Unfortunately they didn't realize leaving the light on 24/7 was not a good thing. I came home and the water was...

I had to look up a crane fly. We call them mosquito eaters here in the midwest! Learn something new everyday = )

Thank you. I'll look them up. My LFS will order for their customers if they don't have them in stock. They are adorable. Thank you! I never would have found them on my own.

I'm really sorry about your cory, I love mine too . I just got a python $20 cheaper on Chewy so I spent an extra $10 and got my dog a toy to get free shipping so I still saved $10. Just FYI in case you want to shop around.

Well that settles that. Thank you for the info. They're really cute. They kind of look like mini stingrays and they burrow into the substrate.

Does anyone have experience with freshwater flounders? I'm looking for info regarding feeding temperature and community tank mates. I have ultra fine gravel that has the consistency of sand and my ph is currently 6.8, 0 ammonia and 0 nitrites. I have 6 corys, 6 blue neon Rasboras and 7...

I can see how his tail is dragging him down. He really has a big full tail. They are beautiful, but I feel sorry for him. I wish I had read more before my purchase. I may have not gotten one as pretty but maybe his life quality would be better. I do regular water changes and tests. I just...

Hi, Everyone! I'm a semi new aquarium owner and I wanted to give newbies like myself a heads up. First of all, all bettas are not created equally! I always liked bettas because they are beautiful of course. What I did not know is that they have different traits as different as their tail...

What are your top five bucket list items? If you could have a dinner party, what 3 people that are no longer with us, would you invite and why?

Happy to hear you were refunded but I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. Not asking for names or anything, but do sellers that do this type of thing get their capability to sell removed from the forum? Or is it just a buyer beware type of thing for purchaser to review comments? Just...

I noticed that Aqua Huna has live stream of their bettas for sale. You can select the number of the betta you want and I think their shipping is reasonable. At least you can take a look to see if any of them are what you're looking for.

Welcome!!

Callous? I don't think so. You were one of the first to welcome me to Fishlore and quick to tell me not to blame myself for a stupid mistake I made. I don't think you're callous at all.

Some places buy back fish within a certain time frame. Some places will take donated fish or local fish stores will buy them or give store credit. Don't beat yourself up for something everyone has done. Even if you lose money on the fish in the long run it's better for both of you to re-home...

I recently ordered from Aqua Huna with success. Their shipping was reasonable and I lost just one fish out of 16. I believe they refund you for any losses up to 3 days. They were really small though just FYI. I would check periodically if they don't have exactly what you want.

Sunset honey gouramies are very pretty. I think they get around 3 to 4 inches.

I noticed that too. After I left this post I went to the Betta forum to see if there was anything new I needed to know and saw the post about the giant betta. Now I'm really confused.

Can your parents offer the goldfish free to good home with pond on a local fish forum like this one? Maybe they have a patient or a neighbor with a pond they could gift the fish to? Or would your local fish store allow you to post a card or sign offering them up to a good home and you could...

My bettas tail has not been harmed or cut by the log. It's only one of his options. His favorite hang out is the area between the suction cup and the thermometer, lol! He is not constantly swimming. He hangs out at different areas and levels watching the other fish. If he thinks they are...
