[skippygoldfish]

I just got around to taking the rest of the water out of the 55gal, only to see that the thermometer in it exploded. the bulb at the bottom is completely exposed and there's granules at the bottom of the tank that are too heavy to siphon or scoop out. the red liquid inside is not exposed. i have no idea if it was broken before i took the fish out on Saturday, and whether the granules are the dangerous part. what should i do????

Fishblr help!

Today i found this eggs laying in the middle of my tank. No adult fish is protecting it (i think), so I have no clue from which fish it might be! The only options would be my corydoras, ancistrus plecos or my Kuhli loaches (<- which I find unlikely).

Anyone got a clue what I should do? I don’t want them to be eaten but I don’t really know what to do either? Taking them somewhere seperate? Or do they need an adult to take care of?

Ok but can someone help me identify what one of my fish is? Im pretty sure its a tetra but it looks different from the gold tetras ive got

I cant get any pictures but lemme do a quick doodle

The top, purely gold one is what 4 of them look like

And the bottom one with the red fins and more white body is what one of them looks like

The gold ones have that y shaped tail and the one with the red fins has more of a crescent shape ig?? and there arent the darker lines

Ill try to get a picture if i can

its that time of year again babey!! francis askig for help bc of a goldfish tank cycle crash!!! yeehaw!!

dumpling and tsukki r still goingg strong!! pingu died :,( i got winnie (Big calico Boye) and corduroy (smaller blue calico Boye). corduroy had a mouth deformity that i did surgery on to make it possible for him to eat and hes Thriving.

i got the noodle men yesterday bc i was Unaware of this cycle crash. kids, test ur water every week at least. ive dosed the tank w seachem prime to keep things nontoxic. so. here we are.

here are the current parameters:

tank size: 75 gallons

ammonia: .5ppm

nitrite: .5 ppm ish

nitrate: 20 ppm

Hello!

Questions for fishblr:

My friend's betta tank is at normal levels and gets weekly water changes, but the water is cloudy. She has tried products to clear the water and it hasn't worked. She thinks it might be a bacterial bloom. I know that is not alot of details; I will update the post with more info.

Any advice for her?

I'm struggling, fish friends. Spyro is still clinging to life, and I haven't been able to bring myself to use the clove oil. Have any of you done this before? How do you know when it's time? He's been in bad shape since Friday and antibiotics did not help a bit. But I can't shake the feeling that there's something more I could do, that he has a chance of getting better. This morning he was damn near unresponsive, but he's moving a bit now and I just don't know. I wish I had been to vet school already, I wish I had more scientific knowledge to be able to tell when it's time... How do you know when?

[squishies]

So coming up in August I'm moving (about an hour away) with my fishies. In one tank though I have about 30+ shrimp and I was wondering if anyone has any advice on shrimp transportation?? I have no idea how imma move them or how imma even get them outta the tank ;-;

Pea Puffer Advice

I was interested in setting up a 10 gallon Pea Puffer tank and I had a couple questions, so if anyone has any experience, please hit me up.

How many can be kept in a 10 gallon? I have seen differing opinions on this, so what is recommended from keepers

What kind of vegetation?

Heavily planted or not?

Recommended foods, I already have frozen blood worms and earthworms for Steve (the axolotl)?
