    I found 4 baby snails in my tank? Where did they come from!?

    I bought a snail a while back for my Betta fish to eat. He never ate it and so the snail lived in the tank for a while but he died a couple months ago. The other day I found the smallest baby snail floating around! I had no idea where it came from but I heard sometimes plants carry snail eggs...

    Betta Underside Paling

Lately it has spread and there is a little patch that looks crusty yellow on one of his fins. The patch also seems crusty and slightly yellowish/gold but I'm positive it's not velvet. He...

So, I add 6 neon tetras and 4 die within 2 days. I immediately pull the other 2 and put in a heated 1...

    Betta is acting very strange. worried he is sick

    My betta used to be very active and whenever I approached the tank he swam over. If I touched the food container he swam over and immediately ate it once I put it in the tank. Last weekend, I took him to my friend's house because I was leaving for a few days. He was near another male betta but...
