"I did a water change two years ago in my 300...something's wrong. My fish have all disappeared and the water's slimy, white and smelly. The room even stinks. HELP!!"
"My fish are at the top gasping. Do they want more food? I poured some in and it didn't do anything. HELP!!"
"I've got lots of algae but worry it will clog my fish's gills. HELP!!"
"I fed my Red Devil a hot dog and pancake because he loves them. He won't get up off the bottom now. Did I cook them too long? HELP!!!
There was one time on a different site where a kid had a goldfish and some other things in an unheated 5 gallon (at most). Of course, the goldfish had ich. We told him to treat it with salt, he poured an entire thing of table salt into the tank. We told him to get it out of the tank and into warmer water, he boiled it.
"My fish appears to be shrinking. His fins are getting longer and longer and I can't stop it. HELP!!"
"My Black Nasty is white AND black. I thought they were supposed to black. Could the white parts be fungus? HELP!!"
"One of my fish has long strings hanging on it's top fin and tail. Are those worms? HELP!!"
"I took the filters out because the water is clear. But my fish keep rolling over. HELP!!"
"Why do my fish go to the bottom when I feed them? Maybe they swallowed gravel? HELP!!"
"Why do my fish come to the top when I feed them? Are they trying to burp? HELP!!"
"Is it better to mix sand with gravel or gravel with sand for substrate? I can't decide. HELP!!"
"My filters keep clogging every three years. I don't get it, they're supposed to pump 150 gph. HELP!!"
"My Mdoka white lip cichlid has a funny, puffy mouth that has no color. Columnaris?"
"I bought a Black Belt but I don't see any belt. Should I sue the LFS for selling me a fake fish? HELP!!
