sick

I have had my betta for a few months now and over the past 1 or 2 days he has just sat on the bottom of the tank and hasn't eaten, when i go to see if hes alive (by brushing water around him) he darts around very quickly and returns to the same spot on the ground. I looked online and did the...

One guppy has a streak of blood in his tail, three large slashes and discoloured (almost white) patches on his tail. The other guppy has a very ragged tail and is losing sections of it fast. I vacuumed the gravel as I always do when I clean the tank and did a large water change. I don't know...

Hi, this is my first time on a forum. Hope I am doing everything right. So I have a betta fish that I just bought on Saturday-5 days ago. She is a veil tail betta named Finn. She looked perfectly healthy at petsmart when I bought her. Then probably the third day of having her I noticed a little...

Hello. I'm new to the forum and to aquariums. A little background info on my tank. It's a 40 gal that's about 4 wks into the cycling process. Unfortunately I didn't cycle before I got my fish so they've been in there since week 1 of having them. According to the pet store it was fine since its...

Can someone help me? I have a new fish and it's a Blue Dwarf Gourami and I've had him for about a week. Suddenly, starting today, he has been staying the the top of the water and trying to get air. But we just put in an aerator and he hasn't changed but gotten worse? He isn't swimming and he's...

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...

One of my fish is swimming increasingly oddly, do you guys think he's sick (in which case what does he have and how worried for my other fish should I be) or is he just getting old? I purchased some GloFish tetras 3 1/2 weeks ago (5 fish in a 10 gallon tank). One of the fish is clearly on the...

I have no idea what's wrong with my male dalmatian molly, Lycaon, and can't find any information on what is wrong with him and how to fix him. I've had fish all my life and just can't find an answer to this one. Any help is appreciated. When I first got Lycaon, he was a normal Dalmatian molly...
