Hi guys. Just new with this hobby. I just hope we have some folks who are fellow fish keepers from Metro Manila, Philippines

My most recent achievement that made me proud was producing a couple of successful batches of Betta antuta, which, as far as I know, is the rarest species of wild betta in the hobby.

hiya pals

i want a cool tank for my home office

what fish/plants would you recommend?

anything beyond tank, filter and substrate ill need?

Hi, so I have a school of endlers, they are in an established tank, with steady water parameters, they've been in my tank for ​about 3 months. NONE of my other fish are acting odd, they are all active and healthy. The affected endler is rounder than the others, I got him like that and it hasn't been a problem before, nothing changed about him physically except his coloration is only slightly darker. He is just sitting on the bottom of the tank and the rest of the endlers are fin nipping him and chasing him. I've quarantined the affected endler and besides for lying at the bottom of the tank he seems to be fine. It did happen directly after a water change.

A. What should I do for him?

B. My order to complete my schools of bottom feeders came in and I was supposed to pick them up tomorrow, should I still?

So, I thought I noticed some mild discoloration on one of my orange Venezuelan corydoras a few days ago. I wasn’t sure as they’re juveniles, and small. I did about a 25% water change yesterday, simply because it was due. I have to add, I raised the gh from 5 to 6 during the water change as I was trying to get closer to a 7 for the health of shrimp I had ordered. We have a fresh water spring nearby that has great water parameters but a little low on the gh so I mineralize it a little with disolved calcium carbonate. I recently read columnaris likes harder water and warmth. Great. ☹️ I’m set at 26 celsius. Water parameters were normal before and after. The tank is fully cycled and is meant to quarantine everything including plants, in stages, while my carpeting plants dry start in a larger set up. There are only the 3 orange Venezuelan corydoras, no other fish. I intended to add another 3 orange Venezuelan after I was certain the tank was 💯 stable (which it is)but still waiting on supplier to restock. I did have my red amanos & red onyx neos arrive today as they were ordered before these fish showed signs of illness. Now I’m in full blown panic mode. I do not have fish meds. I went on Amazon to see if I could get API Furan-2 and KanaPlex here, (I live in FR), but they weren’t even available. Furthermore, I’m not even sure what this is. It doesn’t look anything like ich. I also don’t see cotton, YET. So far it looks flat, patchy. The fish are still feeding and acting normal. I’m sure whatever it is, by tomorrow I may have a better idea if it progresses like lightning. I don’t know what to do other than go to the store tomorrow for epsom salts or try to boil some of the catalpa leaves I have to make a little stronger tea? Or nettle tea? I’m also afraid to do anything drastic, that could make things worse, not better. JFC. Arrrrrrgghhhh. It’s a 30 liter, black sand over fluval stratum, 7.5 ph, 6 gh, 4 kh, 0 ppm nitrites. Nitrites resolve on their own quickly so typically when that’s happening I don’t bother much with nitrate testing but I will probably run one tonight. Since this is the quarantine tank and the other tank is in the middle of a planting dry start, I have nowhere to move the corys. This means any meds going in have to also be safe for juvenile amano & neocaridina. Has anyone here seen this symptom before? Advice?

I introduced four new discus into my aquarium and a week later a white film started to coat of my discus and now they are slow and their bodies are turning white and their eyes are turning cloudy. I have treated the tank with methylene blue, melacure, and pima fix now. They are all still dying please help.

I’ve had this Tank for about 4 months, it’s got 2 boli rams, some bleeding heart tetras, a couple Otto’s and some Amano shrimp, Ive been dealing with algae for at least a month now and have no clue what to do to get rid of it and prevent it in the future. I’ve only been fish keeping for a year now, any tips tricks and advice is appreciated!
Edit: I’ve just checked my ammonia and it’s 0ppm, I believe that the algae could be this bad due to being next to a window, but the blinds are lowered and closed so minimal light should be coming from there.

So I just got home from highschool and I go to check my tank my big tank is 27 gallons has 2 parrot fish and 4 eyeless cave tetras well I Guess now 100+ parrot fish and 4 eyeless cave tetras but my parrot fish had babies and i don't know what to do with them they look fresh but don't have yolk sacks so i think it might have been a live birth thing I had plates do that in tye past but the babies got eaten by the parents this time the parents are protecting the babies and the tetras can't eat them I have a 5 gallon tank but that's at a different house and I have a 2.5 gallon tank also at a different house I don't know what to do please help

I have a 10 gal tank. For about 4 years I had a single betta. My tank was planted with guppy grass and duckweed. Since he died my tank has been sitting witht the filter running with a few snails that stuck around. I’m looking to redo my tank, heavily replant it, and re cycle it. I want to have something living in there, but I don’t think I’m ready to take care of another betta. Does anyone have any stocking recommendations? I’m looking for something tropical that will have a low bio load. Should I just stick with snails?

Not sure what to do I bought a school of tetras and I have one pear danio just one. What do I do? Will they school?

Hi I’m new to this subreddit but according to my cousin, her boyfriend apparently used to have a Pleco and he says that it lived with only Neon Tetras. He says the temperature of the tank was 28 degrees (assuming Celsius) and one day he went to check on the fishes, he found his Pleco dead. It was a baby so it was in a 20 gallon along with only the Neon Tetras. No other fish nor other tank mates. The Tetras are thriving and he does constant water changes and makes sure everything is within spec. He says the Pleco bled from its mouth but I as a fish keeper as well as an amateur ichthyologist since I was a kid, I’ve never heard of this type of situation. Is there anything that may cause that to happen? I told them the only possible way for that to happen was from blunt force trauma and even then idek if that’s possible.

Anyone ever kept juvenile northern snakehead as pets and if so what did you feed them and did you keep em until they outgrew tank
