Black molly with a white spot near the anal fin. Is she pregnant
I noticed 2-3 of my neon tetras have very few tiny spots on the top of their body and or tail, that are a white color. I noticed it tonight and wanted to know if anything is wrong with them. Their behavior hasn’t changed at all from how they act since I’ve gotten them a week or two ago. Should I be worried?
I recently got a tropical fish tank off of craigslist. There's two black skirt tetras, one white tetra (might also be a skirt), and one guppy. All 4 recently had ick. The three tetra get along well but the guppy is making me worried. He was at the bottom of the tank when we got him but he still swims around to eat. Is there anything I can do to make sure he gets better? P.s. We are doing a 30% water change after I get a response. I also have money set aside to buy him a school. Thank you!
We recently bought a Betta from a chain store pet shop. He is currently in a 10 gallon tank with a heater. He’s been eating and swimming around, acting fine. The first day we had him I noticed this bump. (Didn’t notice in the petstore but hard to see in those cups they keep them in) Here’s a side shot. Looks like one tiny fluid filled bump, size of a scale. Any ideas?
I am planning to put either tetras or danios in a 10 gallon. How can I tell if their female or male? Im not wanting to breed them so what do I do of they lay eggs? Am I suppose to move the eggs to a different aquarium and if I do will they still hatch?
Hello! my tropic tetra fish, límon, has a cut out down the middle that I have not noticed before and her tail has a small cut too. she lives in a 10 gallon community tank with 3 more tropic tetras. none of her tank mates are aggressive. Does she have fin rot or some other disease? she gets regular water changes and has been acting completely normal. please send help!
My goldfishh is becoming white and is being lazy and staying in the middle of the tank
Hi, I bought 6 platy fish and a black corydora catfish about 2 weeks ago, all seem in good health bright colours and swimming round as normal they are in a 48l tank which the pet store said was a big enough tank for them all, but one of them seems to be loosing his scales or I’m afraid he may have itch but it dosent look like it I hope you can help,thanks.
My female betta fish has a white ring around her eye. Is this a early stage of popeye?
My female betta fish has two white/silver spots near her gills. The spots are not raised and look like they could even be scales but I’m not sure. Today I moved her to a new tank with a filter and she soon had lots of white spots around her mouth and chest.
My platy fish have been having white/clear poops. I did 4 treatments of API General Cure (about 3 weeks long) and there is no difference. Now one of my platy fish looks thin and his fins seem off. I'm just not sure where to go from here. I've taken them off of the treatment now as advised by a friend. First attached photo is of questionable fish. Second is of the poop (and a picture of a different healthy platy).
I have two male fish guppies. One of them seems to have like a wired black spot on its belly (in the middle of its body). Is this normal? Could it be a disease? Any cure to this? I’m worried. Also it has a little bit of white on its tail :(
