After my beta sadly died, a month later I got two guppies. Anyways- One of my guppies after a two weeks died from unknown causes; we assumed old age because he was bigger than the other guppy in the tank. Two days later after letting Whisp chill by himself I got him a new tank mate (today)...

I've had my betta for about a month now and I noticed this morning while doing a water change that my betta has some tear and jagged-ness to his bottom fin and wasn't sure what it was (he's naturally pastel white/ blue/ purple with with translucent fins). My guess is that he scraped it on the...

Okay, I know that within a cycle its natural to have a nitrite spike but is it natural to have it for a whole week and just cant seem to get it down?! I've been thinking of using some plants to help me lower them but that might just completely crash my cycle. I have a 3.5 gal and doing fish in...

Hi I'm new here! Bonjour to everyone. In June I'm going to Scotland for two weeks. And I'm not sure what to do. I'm afraid my betta's tank is going to get so gross that it'll die or get sick. What can I do? Is it okay to leave my fishy in its tank for two weeks un-cleaned?

So if you look in the attached photo, on the window there are a lot of these little white speck line things. And if I stand at the tank and watch, they all move, like move on the tank walls. What are they? Should I be worried? I'm plaaning on doing a 100% water change when I get home, instead...
