My male Betta hasn't made a bubble nest in the past two months. The past week and a half he's been lying at the bottom of his tank and only comes up to eat and get air. I know the water quality if fine because I have all the stuff to test everything with. I've had him for five months, and I know...

I took one of my Platies in my tank out because it had an Anchor Worm. I took the worm out of the fish, and am keeping it quarantined right now. As for the other fish in the tank, I noticed today that one of my other Platies has a red sore on it's side. What is the cause of this? none of my...

In front of one of his side fins there's like a branch of another fin or something sticking out. It's almost the same length as the fin. It's the same color as a fin, but is straight and sticking out. The tip of it is splitting like split ends on hair, and it's beginning to bother my Platy. He's...

I bought more fish today, 3 Neon Tetras and two Guppies. I already have two Platies in my tank, and I added in the Neon Tetras today. I still have the other two Platies I want to add in. How much longer should I wait? EDIT: Before I bought them I already had two Platies in my tank. I bought the...

My tank is cycled, and I have two male Platies in it. I just bought three Neon Tetras from the petshop and I put them in the tank. Should I remove them and quarantine them for a few days or will they be okay going right into the tank? The two Platies I know are healthy.

I was just curious as to what the ideal betta fish diet consists of. I feed my two Bettas every other morning and I switch between feeding them color enhancing pellets and dried bloodworms.

I just found out one of my Guppies passed away from it. How do I avoid them getting it? I feed my fish whatever they'll eat in 3 minutes every morning.

Someone on here said I could feed algae wafers to my Platies and Guppy. I used to feed them goldfish flakes I had from my old goldfish that died, and just today I started feeding them tropical flakes instead. I feed them every morning whenever I wake up. I was wondering if they can eat the algae...

My new 5 gal tank is almost done cycling according to my results. I've had it for three and a half weeks. I've kept two Guppies in there ever since I got the tank, and three days ago put a Platy in there with them. The tank didn't come with a heater, so I haven't been using one. But it did come...

I normally use Anarchis for my fish, but today I got these two other different kinds of plants. I'm not sure what the name of them are, but one of them looks like it has leaves like a fern and is sticking straight up. The other looks similar to ivy but is in the water. I was just wondering if...

I just bought a Pleco, and noticed that there's a lot of bubbles around where it's in, and on the surface of the water...similar to my male betta fish. So I was wondering if the Pleco might be male? Or do all of them do that in general? I also have a Platty in with my female betta, and there's...

I was looking up information on Pleco, and it said they could sometimes eat other fish smaller then it. I wanted to know how true that was, or if anyone has had any experience considering it. My Pleco is about 2 1/2 inches long, and I was thinking of putting it in my 5 gal tank next week with a...

Can someone please tell me how many eggs the female will lay, and how many will most likely hatch and live out of them?

I have a male Betta that I bought three days ago. I noticed when I came home today that he made a bubble nest. What does that really mean? Is it a good sign? By the way, he's the only one in the area I keep him in. Will the nest ever go away? Will he make more?

I just bought a Beta Fish the other day, and I have a few questions. I asked these questions to people at the pet shop, but I would like to get other peoples' opinions. 1) How often do I have to feed them? 2) Do they need a lot of room to swim around in? 3) What is their life span? 4) If I...
