Will 2 Bala sharks be okay in my 6.5 gallon tank
I have an angelfish and a red tail shark in a 15 gallon tank for about 4 days and they get along great. The angel fish has been almost swimming kind of lazy like almost floating and then will swim when off balance. And belly kinda looks swollen as well as eyes. And my red tail shark seems to have a gray patch on it's side and not swimming as active as he was. Either hides in the back of tank or in a house for hours.
Best foods for 29gallon tank with 4Rosaline Sharks, 4Congo Tetras, 1large bushy nosed plecostamus. Vitamins?
Can rainbow sharks , guppies, and neon tetras stay together?
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 rainbow albino shark is slow to grab the food...now it is a little bit inactive...is this a sign where in it is under nurish...?thank you for the reply already...bless you guys...
This is a balloon molly and i noticed that the fin has been damaged. I dont know why it has happened, can you tell me why? I keep 3 balloons in my 20L tank and he is the most aggressive so i dont think the others did it to him. I feed them tropical fish flakes and frozen brine shrimp in turns and do water changes once a week. Can this condition be fixed? if so, how can i help him?
what kind of fish are these? and would they be good with a male betta
Can platties, Black mollies, pleco, and neon tetra all be kept together in a 20 gallon tank?
What can be kept with goldfish?
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?
So I have an established and cycled 10 gallon tank with 1 white male platy and 1 albino Cory catfish, the filter creates a bit of a current and then I have a bubbler to add more of a current, I also have a older maybe 2-3 year old betta who is very chill and I wanted to know I could put him in this tank happily and without fault?
