Shish is a single male betta, approximately 2.5 years old, kept in a 3.5 gallon tank. Parameters are all good at every weekly test/25% change. He suffered (I think) a case of popeye maybe two months ago, which was treated with Melafix; his eye is still cloudy but the swelling has gone down, so I think he may have injured it. The past few weeks or so, he has seemed like he's slowing down. - He's lethargic. Spending a lot of time on the bottom of the tank, and a lot of that is split between...

I originally had obtained a pair of B. pallifina from JDAquatics some months back, and they successfully spawned within a month or so. Unfortunately, the male swallowed the eggs soon after and died via an unfortunate acrobatic leap from his tank in the middle of the night. The female stopped eating for around a week after this, but later resumed its normal habits. I took a gamble and recently got another male in hopes of successfully spawning the species; the female displayed breeding... B. pallifina breeding behavior ..read more

Hello! as the title says i'm looking for some advise regarding possible tank mates for my paradise fish. He's currently alone in a 55g other than a pair of ropefish. knowing that they can be a bit aggressive, id love suggestions that are about the same size (or larger) as the rope fish will make a tasty snack out of anything much smaller.

My betta recently died and I'm interested in getting some new fish for the tank. The tank is 10 gallons, and I either want to get a new betta or some dwarf gourami. I've heard differing opinions online, so I figured I'd ask here! Will two male dwarf gouramis be okay in a 10 gallon tank together, or is that a bad idea and should I stick to females? I don't want them to mate, so I was planning on staying away from one male and one female in the tank. As an alternative, I read an article that... New Tank Setup ..read more
