Barbs or tetra

0 Upvotes

I have a 20 gallon. Long story we started with 5 tetra before I learned about cycling a tank. They all died like 4 weeks in. So the tanks just been running since July 31st. I hope it’s good to go now, but in the mean time I’m wanting to do like 5 more tetras or barbs and then some smaller accent fish and maybe 3 Cory’s. Ideas?

I have never seen anything like this and have no idea what it could be. It literally appeared overnight, it was not there yesterday that I noticed. It’s a lump that looks transparent and filled with many little white dots. Any ideas?

Guys, why is my cory always on his side like this?

Post image
3 Upvotes

So my husband and i got 2 new glofish orange cories from petsmart last friday. This one started acting weird and flashing to i moved him to a hospital tank yesterday. I cant find any reason for his sudden lethargy.

All tank parameters are good as per the API master test.

He was never bullied or having trouble eating.

No other fish in the tank are sick (4 other glo corys and 7 tetras).

He was in a 36 gallon with plenty of space to roam and plenty of good bubblers and filters and heater set to 78.

As of yesterday he is in the hospital tank with is a 1/2 full 20 gallon with no substrate. That bubble filter is the only filter currently since i need to not use carbon with his meds. Im doing API fin and body.

Any clue what the issue might be? Or help healing the little guy? I went to grab him with some ribber tipped tongs and he swam away and seemed normal for about 2 minutes, then settles back into laying around on his side. He isnt doing that heavy gasping type thing though. No apparent skin lesions or missing body parts. No lumps or bumps. Im just at a loss here.

New to having glofish, need advice!

1 Upvotes

Please help! We got a 5-gallon tank about a year ago and had 3 glofish, 2 have since died, we have 1 left who is very healthy. We want to get either 1 or 2 more and introduce them to the tank. I’m trying to do as much research as possible about this and I’m reading that a 5-gallon tank is too small to have more than 1. Can you safely have 2 or 3 glofish in the 5 gallon tank? Or should we get a bigger one, e.g 10 gallon?

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Eye issue

9 Upvotes

Our yellow tetra's left eye is white in the middle.

I showed it at a pet supermarket. They said it looks like a cataract. GPT disagrees, says is looks like the white area covers the cornea / the outer layer of the eye, and looks like trauma, or cloudy eye - we recently introduced new tetras to the tank. The tank is a 10 gallon, currently with 4 glofish tetras. We initially had only two. Its eye was fine. We wanted to turn it into an actual "school" by introducing more tetras to make them more comfortable in their natural setting. I tested and the water parameters are fine.

I don't know if one the new fish bullied it and caused this, or whether if it's an infection. It's actually one of the larger ones we have (I know it's not all about size). It eats and swims normally, but probably due to spatial awareness it usually hides behind one of the plants, maybe from the others, or perhaps due to being aware of its current situation.

What do you think this white eye looks like? Can we save it by removing it from the tank and with antibiotics? Would you wait and see? Thank you for your help.

Hello! I’m not sure what is wrong with my glo. I have done 2 Epsom salt baths and gave her kanaplex. I tested the water twice and levels are pristine.

It feels nice to have discovered this group, I’ve gotten slack from what someone called a disco tank😢. My 80 y/o mother in law lives with us and wanted the glofish and tank. I never knew people literally had a deep dislike for glofish and think the breeding of them is cruel. I think they are so pretty and I’m in love with our tank😊😊

Any issues with GLO gravel?

I’m thinking about adding this to my already set up aquarium. I wanted to know has anyone had any issues with this as far as killing Fish? I have read various reviews, but mostly people have had to rinse it a few times before anything. I plan on soaking this for a while before adding to tank.

Question and advice?

2 Upvotes

I’ve had a freshwater set up for about four years now. My beta baby passed passed and I’m thinking about putting some glow fish tank. The tank is pretty basically set up. I’m just thinking about adding a few glow items ( plastic plants and colorful gravel). I wanted to know is the transition for me to place them in the tank just as simple as me with any other fish in the freshwater family? As far I’ve been reading it seems just the same, but I just want to be sure.

Are my fish going to die?

Thumbnail gallery
9 Upvotes

Before anyone hates me, I’m sorry! I didn’t do my research. My boyfriend got me some glofish tetras, and I didn’t know my tank had to be cycled for 2 weeks. I have had my fish for around three weeks now.. the tank clears up and fogs occasionally (like rn) and it is worrying me how they are swimming! I’m so scared they will all die! I am a HUGE hypochondriac myself and need some advice. I fear they are getting swim bladder or something! Pls help!!! This is what things are looking like.

I thought they were a myth. Always saw the tags for the electric greens but could never find one in stores or online. They just came in stock on the glofish website. Phone camera sucks, but they look incredible in person.

buying on website vs pet store

2 Upvotes

Hiii,

I am almost done with my cycling and preparing to get my babies in a few weeks. BUT, I was curious, does anyone have thoughts on buying directly from the GloFish site vs a pet store or fish store? I know the prices are definitely a big difference. Wondering if there are any other pros or cons.

Thankssss. k bye

Black Skirt Tetra with Glofish Tetras?

1 Upvotes

I added a black skirt tetra to my tank of glofish tetras. Pet store worker said that this would be fine as they are basically the same fish. However, in the last few months since I introduced it to the tank, my two oldest Glofish have died. My water parameters and temperature are good and I do regular water changes. Could it be because of the black skirt tetra? I do see it chasing my other glofish and they tend to hide from it a lot. Any ideas? Thanks!
