dead fish

My first bichir a Delhezi just died because another fish ripped off the pre filter and my bichir got his head stuck inside the hose which was a siphon so he was vacuumed onto the end. The seal was so strong I had to cut the pipe to get him out. I tried to revive him by allowing oxygenated water...

It was my childhood dream to have a proper fish tank, and I am pretty close to draining the whole thing and putting a couple of lizards or snakes in it atm. I could really use a little help in figuring out what is going on. Tank Specs 850L ~ 200 gallons Hardscape, 1cm gravel, 3 large rocks, 2...

If anyone has read one of my last posts, ALL FISH DEAD IN ONE NIGHT, you saw that I did not properly cycle the tank and the fish died. So it has been 3 weeks since the fish died and I have done anything to the tank. I haven’t even looked at it since then. So, I went back to “start the nitrogen...

Alright. So I purchased two baby Oscars (red and tiger) from Petco a little bit over a week ago. They live in a 40-gallon tank ( i will upgrade later, don't worry) with two baby sun catfish and two baby common plecos (which I added today). I apologize in advance for the amount of reading you...

I introduced a healthy Arowana into it's new (already cycled) tank and it swam around rapidly and then went to the bottom of the tank and died. We introduced it to the water when it was still in the bag. RIP. My other fish that was also in there also died the next day. RIP x2. There are still...

Joey Mullen strikes again, he flooded his fish room and 2 dead fish, and now he's triggered that his viewers/friends keep giving him advice. Why does he have to upload these rants on his Instagram, why can't he just say it in a video and tell his viewers to not give him advice? And I get it, he...

Ok, I was doing a filter maintenance on my Fluval FX4 and a 25% water change on Sunday. I had to move a few decorations around which stirred up a lot of debris. That night I did a very small water change to vacuum the bottom. I only did 10 gallons. Monday morning, I went to say hello to my gents...

Hi I have a 30 gallon fresh water with around 27 varied tetras 6 kuhli loaches, a small Pleco and 3 guppies. In the last three days a fish has died mysteriously, the first day one of my emperor tetras died and I decided (not knowing what happened) to dose the tank with mela fix and Pima fix. The...

Hi all, this is mainly a thread for me to rant about the idiot that killed one of my loaches and my betta. And the pathetic, drunken excuse he gave for why he done it. But there is a question if anyone can help with that it would be great. TL;DR? Basically I went out for a night because my...

Hey all, I'm relatively new to the fish keeping hobby and i have 2 bichirs: one ornate and one albino. The albino was dead this morning after eating and swimming all last night as it normally did. It had red coloring in its gills and a tongue-like protrusion coming out of its mouth. I have a 30...

Over the past 2 weeks iv lost 3 juli corys, my water perameters are perfectly fine, keeping up with water changes, all other fish are doing great so any ideas? Maybe it's time to clean my filter? Maybe they get scrapes from my gravel? ( ik I should have sand with corys newbie mistake) ik fish...

Apparently bed bath and beyond carries fish equipment online. Saw a rimless nano tank that looked cool then I spotted this gem. Ain't it cute? I admit I will probably order one in case a small fish of mine croaks.

My pearl gourami died today and I'm not really sure why, water was all normal except maybe the nitrate was a bit high around 40ppm. Temp was same, I was a couple days late on a water change but I wouldn't think that would make a huge difference, I did have a power outage tho for maybe 30 min so...

So this morning i woke up to 3 out of my 4 alunacaras died at the bottom of the tank, and i have no clue as to what happened. I can't see the 4th and i don't know where the tropheus is. Both haps are currently alive. In terms of the tank, there was 4 alunacara, 1 tropheus, 4 corys and a plec...

I was wondering what exactly does a healthy, comfortable fish look like and do? Like what are some of the more common trait's based off of years of fishkeeping from members here: Color, size, maybe aggression, activity levels, natural behavior? I don't think or know of scientific proof that...

OK, so I have a 125 gallon tank, only 7 fish in it, and over the last 10 days my water has been getting really cloudy, I mean 24 hours after a 25-30% WC it is noticeably cloudy. It never has done this before, established tank. My 5-6" peacock eel, which had previously been very visible and...
