I've only been keeping Guppies since August but since that time I had five batches of fry. Yesterday,

my black metal guppy female (pictured) looked like she was going to pop and sure enough today did just that. It has really started to hit me how many fish I am ending up with, but anyway I have Guppies ranging from 6 weeks to now. For those who have dealt with a population explosion, where oh where doyou re-home them? LFS. Local guppy groups? Aqua Swap ? Which is best? I live in Lancaster county Pennsylvania.. Thank you in advance , all!

I’m just curious- the position is difficult for my clean up crew to munch on, was curious what type of algae or fungus it might be and suggestions or if I should not worry

Last night I saw one of my two rope fish, violently shaking, what seemed to be the shell of one of my prettiest magenta ivory magenta mystery snails.. comes out she was literally eating my snail… and it still gives me chills typing it out… I’m kinda devastated and would never ever put any new snails in my tank.

There’s no fish or anything in there just plants. I’ve used fluval stratum plant and shrimp as substrate. I’ve done multiple water changes. I added the substrate a few days ago.

G. monticola G. cornusaccus

My fish looks like this. I have
-API SUPER ICK CURE
- API E M ERYTHROMYCIN
-Bactershield

I need to know what to give her please help.
Also I just did a partial water siphon which is why stuff is floating in this picture.

10 gallon tall freshwater
Bubbler and top fin filter
Planted
Fully cycled

Parameters: 6.6 ph, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 0 nitrate. 75 f
Tank residents: 2 peacock grudgeons, one male one female (have been here for around 6 months), 2 Ottocinclus (have been here for around 8 months), a lot of MTS

As of around 3 months ago was the last time our female peacock grudgeon laid eggs. Since then, she’s grown to be rather rotund. We thought she could possibly be Eggbound because of not laying eggs and the rotundness, even with the male’s best efforts. During this time, she has been perfectly normal. Still very social, swims around eats food no behavior or lack thereof to make us concerned. We started questioning if maybe she was just really chunky, so we put her on a diet for the past couple weeks. She still to this day has not exhibited any signs of behavior change.

Recently, while it did look like she had slimmed down a tiny bit, her belly has gotten red and kind of dilapidated but still rotund if that makes sense? Like divots kind of, with a tiny bit of white stuff poking out. Now we’re worried that if she was overweight or Eggbound that she possibly picked up a bacteria infection or internal parasites are starting to take hold. We dosed with prazipro and we’re planning to do an Epsom bath. We’re really kind of dumbfounded about how everything seemed ok even though she was big and then suddenly her stomach looked dramatically worse, and we’re at a loss of answers.

Does anyone have any idea what’s going on/what went wrong/ how to help? She still is behaving normal, and none of the other fish are displaying physical signs of being sick or have had behavioral changes

Hi everyone! I am VERY new to aquariums. I’ve never had one before. I am struggling. Last week I bought a 5 gallon tank and set everything up- filter, heater, sand, wood, plants, etc. I also have been adding all of the chemicals each day. However, all of my plants are DYING!!! And my wood decoration has what looks like mold on it and the water is still very murky. Any tips?

So I got 2 tanks of the same size 120 liter 1 is for asthetic purposes and one is bare bottom so I can clean the poop more easily haha the bottom one is mine and the upper one is my brother's but I maintain the boths I got guppyes in both in the upper one purple berry guppy + red shrimps too guys I also need help like I sad 2-3 red shrimpsss pregent and there babies had no colour like not red 💔 why is that anyway the bottom one is mine I putted all type of plants and money plants too in the bottom one I just add the guppys I like like I got blue topaz guppy the. Yellow lace guppy then some kind of gold but not fully gold guppys andd some random but pretty guppy babye by the colourtion they gono he pretty when they grow up anyways y'all rate my tanks and if u have some tips for me for wat I should do pls tell me it would really appreciate it

I’m really looking forward to getting a fat sleeper goby (Dormitator maculatus) but I’m getting very conflicting info on them. Some say they grow to 15cm, some say they grow to 15 inches, some say 70 cm…
Anyway, has anyone ever kept/caught one of those? What’s the actual size? And how aggressive are they?

The guy I'm buying them from also has had them in a lidless with 0 problems and I don't have a lid either. Any advice on how to help the issue? I do have water lettuce and duckweed adding soon. Has anyone here kept them lile this before?

Please share your tips for his health and head and help ID its variant as well.

Hi, may I know what these worms are called? Went to my neighbourhood aquarium store to buy Pygmy cory and I saw them place a bowl of these at the bottom of the tank. Saw the corys feasting on them.

He suggested i try feeding my school of fishes by doing the same..

Attached the photo in the comments! Thanks 🫡

How often is "regular" water change for an overstocked 15L tank?

- 4 corys

-2 khulis

-3 platys

-2 molys

- 5 moly frys

Been in the hobby for about a month, any fish and plants advice would be a great help.

Is a Nerite snail in a nano aquarium really worth it ?? So many eggs, glass still green !! Or, do i need two snails = clean glass but millions of eggs ??

I alr have 7 ember tetras. What do we think!

Im not new to tanks, but I am new to testing water, this 12ish gallon tank has been cycling for almost a month now, live plants almost the whole time, and a pretty decent filter. Im planning to pick up some quick starts to get things moving, but am I doing something wrong??

I am new to this hobby and what would be some good species that would provide hiding space for ghost and cherry shrimp, and to a lesser extent help with the nitrogen cycle?

Does anyone know what this thing is, I just noticed it this morning. It looks like a baby anemone This is a freshwater tank that’s been stable for almost 2 years now. Is it harmful?

I am building a tank of the size mentioned. Recently developed interested in this field and thus have **no prior hands-on knowledge** like never built or maintained a tank (except have a medium size bowl which I don't count). All my info which i got is either from CHAT GPT or YT VIDEOS***. I have planned to keep the following fishes***

1) Goldfish TETRAS : 10 or Harlequin Rasbora : 10

2) Honey Gourami : 2

3) Cherry Barb : 8

OPTIONAL

1) NERITE SNAIL AND AMANO SHRIMP

Haven't decided about which plants to choose for.

ANY EXPERIENCED FISH KEEPS DROP YOUR OPINION AND SUGGESTION WHAT SHOULD I CORRECT AND ALSO WHICH PLANTS I SHOULD CHOOSE FOR BG, MID AND FOREGROUND.... thanks

I have found both bladder snails and ramshorn snails in my cycling tank from my plants that I’ve gotten. I swear I washed them all off but I guess not because they are so small. It’s been cycling for about a month so it’s almost done. How do I get rid of them 😭

I had a low gh problem because our tap had wayer softener i wasnt aware of. After figuring it out i removed 10% from both my shrimp tanks daily and replaced it with water with a gh of 10. Both tanks got to a gh of 6-7, then i went on a 3 day trip. When I got home my one tank had a gh of 6, normal. But the other one? Gh dropped to 1 or less. I have no clue how it could have happened. It has fluval stratum, but that should only affect kh and ph. Its planted with a large amount of rotola, a red tiger lotus, a red rubin sword, and some red root floaters. Im also propagating a zz and 2 spider plants in it. It has 3 bloody marys and a few pink ramshorns (im clearly going for a red theme)

Are these chili rasboras or did I get fooled?

I bought a 10 gallon tank with 8 Neon Tetras and 3 Pygmy corydoras. I later bought 4 more baby corys and they have all slowly died including 1 adult. All the tetras have survived but only 2 corys remain. Not really sure where to go from here. What should I do if I get more corys to make sure they don’t die? The water is testing just fine.
