Does anyone know what this is? I'm pretty sure they weren't there before.. And what should I do?

G'day. I was looking to have a go at breeding poecilia wingei (to aid conservation) but all of the pure strains seem to be in the U.S. Is anyone selling them in Australia or willing to ship to Australia? I need documented lineage proving that they aren't hybridized but otherwise I am not at all...

Personally I prefer without the leaf litter, but either way, oh my! That aquascape is breathtaking.

Tank Setup & Stock: I have a community tank with endlers, guppies, 1 calm betta, a mystery snail, and a Siamese Algae Eater (SAE). Behavior Observed: Flashing behavior started appearing after I added the endlers to the tank. This was after the betta, SAE, and snail were already established...

Ah, unfortunately I have disposed of everything now, but I can say what I recall. It was probably ~1.5mm long, 1mm wide? Too small to touch with my fingers but it didn't change shape or get damaged easily like the other tissue, but wasn't hard-hard like a rock, so I'd go with the firm like an...

In need of an answer, I'm worried about my other fish :(

Content warning: Necropsy image Deceased guppy gill close up for diagnostic purposes, do not scroll further if that may upset you. Hi everyone, I did a necropsy on the Poecilia reticulata (guppy) that died in my tank because there was flashing behavior in the fish in that community tank. I was...

Ohh, that makes even more sense now! This tank is the only one I don't use fertilizers for, because the plants seemed to be doing just fine. It's also my least planted tank. I did reckon my nitrates were very low. None of my other tanks have this issue and they're even newer and the lighting is...

Well, it's actually been running for over a year. You're probably right though, since the filter is very low flow. Thank you so much for this, Fishfur! Really makes sense, and I appreciate you explaining it in such depth. :) I've ordered Ultra Life; sounds like it might work well. It’s also...

I've tried to get rid of it but it keeps coming back. What is it, is it harmful, and how can I get it to go away?

A betta would adore a planted 10G, not many species would appreciate it as much as a betta and you'd likely get a thriving one if you go the betta route. In a larger tank, I've successfully kept endlers with a female betta who hasn't so much as looked at them. If you get a calm, friendlier...

I purchased five of them two days ago. Yes, heated and filtered. She actually got rounder since, she looked completely normal so I did end up putting her back and I'm keeping an eye on her, I gave her colour enhancing bug bites and daphnia

A bump, I really don't want to keep her quarantined longer than she needs to be while I wait for answers, sorry

Absolutely stunning tanks!!

Hey everyone, Recently purchased some guppies, this one specifically I noticed looked a bit... off. Skinnier than the rest of them, even after being fed, gills kind of red and open? Could be her light colour, not sure. I'm thinking gill flukes and worms? But I have never had to deal with disease...
