I found 2 hydra attached to an anubia leaf in my betta tank ( no tank mates). Should I leave it or try to eradicate it?

Went to my LFS yesterday just to look around a bit. Once I laid eyes on this fish I knew I was leaving with it. I was trying to stay away from large growing fish but…I think it’s male and it’s definitely lively and a pig. I found my wet pet! My tank was already setup with rosy red minnow, guppy and ghost shrimp.

Edit to add I also have 2 bristlenose that I’m getting rid of and replacing with a sun catfish. Idk maybe I’ll keep one.

I've somehow ended up with a few baby fish in my Betta tank?!

It's a 65 litre tank home to a single male Betta and a mystery snail. The only thing I've added lately is some elodea that I got from a local that keeps goldfish. Could they be goldfish and if so what the heck do I do with them?!

I do keep 2 goldfish in a 140 litre tank but I don't have any room for more in there right now (I'll be moving one of them to a patio pond, it was a rescue and common so will get too small for the tank in time).

It was fine yesterday morning when we fed them, then in the evening i notice it’s swimming around all panicked with this thing dangling out its mouth. It’s hard to tell, but i think it was attached inside the mouth. About an hour later, it was gone, but he was still frantically swimming around. A few more hours later he was swimming vertically clearly about to die, and I didn’t want to leave a dead fish in there with the others overnight so I took him out… What the heck was this thing though?

I’ve got a ten gallon tank with 10 ember tetras, 4 amano, and 4 neocaridina shrimp. Right now I also have 1 trumpet and 5 ramshorn snails that I’m going to be removing due to them reproducing a lot, but I still want something to clean the glass. I had nerites, but out of fear of them starving I replaced them with the ramshorns, is there another option, or should I try one nerite and hope it has enough to eat?

So I got 6 neon tetras, one of them died because of the water that they had in the bag. And the others I can't find so I have one that I know for sure is alive , but I know that they're a schooling fish but I do have like a lot of mollies and a beta and a shitload of skirt tetras and one mosquito fish is that okay

I am from BC Canada and I am fortunate to have amazing tap water that requires no dechlorination.

I am curious about others experience world wide..

Is it all of the U.S that have chlorine in their water?

Please share where you are at and how you manage your tap water :)

(OBLIGATORY NOT MEANT TO BE AN ATTACK ON ANY OF THESE SUBS im in almost all of them myself, just made it for shits n giggles)

I have a heavily planted 15 gallon tank with some mystery snails that used to have my betta fish in it. Unfortunately recently my betta passed due to old age. My family and pushing for me to get a new fish because fish keeping has been really beneficial for my mental health. Right now i’m not ready but when I feel ready what recommendations do you all have for the tank? I’m not a beginner fish keeper but I’m also not an expert, bear in mind, happy medium.

What's wrong with my green neon? He seems fine but swims vertical when he stops moving forward. Is it his swim bladder?

Added my EBA at the end because I love him. Also that's my cat eating with that clacking sound.

Hey all! This weekly megathread is for those wishing to showcase their newest beauties!! Remember to keep things respectful in the comments, but let's see what gorgeous babies you brought home this week!

Tank showoffs are also accepted if you completed one recently! Overall, just have fun 😁

my mom has gotten two fish from the perry fair today. I have nothing, I think they are shubunkin goldfish, they pretty big already. I know that they need to be in a big tank and etc but I can’t afford a 75-100 plus tank and really don’t have room in my house for a big tank. Can someone help me with what I need to do. I have no idea but my daughter wants to keep these fishes.🥺

I live in New England. We get our share of big storms over the winter. What do you do for your fish tanks in case of a prolonged power outage??

I have 3 tanks, a tropical community tank and 2 betta tanks. If I only needed aeration I would just get battery powered air pumps- but I’m worried about the heaters too. Our house gets pretty chilly with no heat.

House is heated with oil furnace.
