The Dragon Wrasse will go through a drastic morph from juvenile to adulthood. This wrasse can grow to be over a foot in size and will need an aquarium with ample swimming space. Adults of this wrasse will need about 180 gallons; however, juveniles can get away with smaller aquariums. Be sure to provide a thick sandy substrate because this wrasse likes to submerge itself to sleep. Feeding them multiple times a day is recommended as they are very active and keeping them full will help keep them away from desirable inverts. As with other wrasses, they are capable jumpers at all stages of their life, so a covered aquarium is necessary. Juveniles color ranges from brown, green to red with white blotched patterns. The juveniles also have two elongated dorsal spines, which adults do not have. The adults have a brown and white pattern across its body and a thick white band on its caudal tail.

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.

I recently bought a pearl arrowana fish what care should I take
We just tranferred Joey from a 40 Gallon Tank to a new 90+ Gallon Terrain... He seemed to be pretty happy till today. We noticed right before we changed tanks that he had some dark coloration on his left side and tip of his tail.. He was shedding at the time so we figured it was part of it.. It has yet to go away, and today he seems VERY active, mostly attempting to climb the glass of the tank. I have attached a photo, Thank You in advance! ~Robert~
Hello. My turtle has a red stain/mark along her "lip" on the left hand side. Tried cleaning it with a qtip but it didn't come off. This must have appeared within the last 2-3 days. She lives outside in a filtered and heated pond with my other (male) turtle and they sometimes fight over food, she also randomly bites hard things. I give them kale/spinach/fruit and they hunt slugs, snails and other insects. She's acting completely normal and feeding fine. Is this an injury or is it something else?
I have 2 salmenese tiger fish and two smaller fish in approximately 3.5 L bowl. I bought them on 1 April. 3 act normal but one act abnormal from first day. One salmenese tiger fish doesn't move much first it stayed at bottom now it's gapping at surface and if I try to catch to check it it goes down again. It's fins are turning red or I don't know if it already was. I don't understand how to help. Parents are out town so I can't go to shop. I am not sure if all are eating food.
My razorback musk turtle, got it for one and a half weeks or so, still small, has a yellowish white lump on its front leg. Like acne. What is this? Should I be worried? Thanks for your help!
So I have been thinking about getting a new caged animal, but am not sure what to get. I am hoping for a fairly easy animal to care for (AROUND the same "hardness level" as care for a Crested gecko), and one that doesn't need tons of (tank or cage) space. Also, I saw a Cowfish on a YouTube channel, and I thought they where cute, so I tried to find its care online, but I couldn't find anything. Nor could I find someone selling one.
One of my fish has open sore on both sides of the skin. Apparently some of the other fish has bitten him and now some of his skin is bulging on both sides and it’s in a 70 gallon tank with other fish, and I don’t know what to do.. can someone help me..
I'm wondering if you think my dragon may be mixed between a couple different types. He has purple, yellow, nd orange colors on him.
I have a baby red eared slider a friend bought from Chinatown then couldn’t keep. I believe it’s about 1-2 months old as it wasn’t even old enough to eat when I recieved it. I have him set up in a filtered tank with a dry rock area and some caves in the water that he likes to sit on. He’s developed a couple small white spots on his shell and I’m worried that it’s some kind of infection but I also don’t know if he’s maybe starting to shed his shell.
Samlarie has darken his scales. It has been like this for 3 months. I don't if hes sick or if its to do with the season. Samlarie has also been sitting around at the bottom of his tank for the past week.
I dont know if you are a tropical fish specialist. But there is something going on in my tank and need help diagnosing it. My corydora has two raised growths ..one at the base of its fin. And one under the eye. My pleco seems a bit tattered too. A little flashing was happening with my yoyo loach also. That's now stopped after a water change.
Hi, my cosmo goldfish' scales have small bumps underneath and I do not have any pet stores/veterinary offices to help near me. Would you be able to tell me what is going on with him? I have attached photos of him to give a visual. I am unsure why the third one may show up upside down and I apologize.
