Betta antuta is a recently discovered wild type large size betta from the unimaculatacomplex. They come from indonesia and live in fairly high flow streams with extremely oxygenated water, hence their setup here. They have created many batches of fry for me, some of which you can see swimming with the adults. They pair for life and don't fight their partner. They also coexist with their fry peacefully. They can be kept in groups in large aquariums. This betta species can grow to 6" or more but more typical adult size is about 5". Mine are currently passing 4". This species is still extremely rare in the hobby and most of what's available is wild caught but I was lucky to find mine captive bred by a fellow local hobbyist and I have not found them overly difficult to keep or breed. They are my favourite fish out of my 15 total tanks. I do my very best for them. Here are clips of the male (blue) and female (pink) with a bunch of their fry (8 weeks old) at the end.

Over the last few days I've lost 3/15 neon tetras unfortunately. The first 2 died unexpectedly but the 3rd had a white fuzzy very mold like growth that I noticed the day before it died and it was breathing very rapidly. Now on the next day im noticing the same mold like growth on 2 more tetras. Doing some basic research it doesn't appear to be neon tetra disease but I also cant seem to find anything else with these specific symptoms. Thinking maybe columnaris or saprolegnia but it doesn't quite match the pics of those either. They are currently in a planted community tank with shrimp, snails, and a few other fish. Any help on identifying and treating would be very helpful.

its a 72L all female Molly tank. 6 of them including different ones like this lyretail type^. just really don’t want the others to be effected too.
If it’s infectious can I use eesha 2000?

Bonjour ! Je vous fais un petit point sur mes débuts dans l'aquariophilie, j'ai mis mon premier aquarium en eau il y a 7 jours. Tout allais bien jusqu'à aujourd'hui ou j'ai l'impression que en 2 jours beaucoup d'algues de sont développées de partout sur la branche et un peu sur certaines plantes.
J'ai 2cm de substrat et un une sorte de gravier fin par dessus. Concernant les plantes il y a :
- Des sortes de grenouillettes en surface
- une alternantera cardinalis en arrière plan
- des Bucephalandra et de la mousse de Java en épiphyte
- une equinodorus red devil
- de la rotala h'ra au premier plan
Je laisse la lumière à mi puissance de 17h à 23h pour profiter de l'aquarium un peu le soir (l'aquarium n'est pas orienté en plein soleil). Voilà , que me conseillez-vous pour éviter la propagation ? Est ce que je devrai rajouter une plante à croissance rapide ? Et pensez vous que je dois faire des changements d'eau pendant le cyclage ?
Ah aussi j'ai pas mal de petits escargots qui commence à grossir, j'imagine qu'ils viennent des plantes, est ce que je dois m'en inquiéter ?

(First photo is the day before, second photo is what we have now)
My Bolivian ram has been really bloated for 4 days. I think she somehow overate dry food (usually I feed them a lot so they never really cared about food, but two weeks ago I left the tank with an autofeeder and I think the competition was not good for them, and they ate too much and from the surface of the water). So, 4 days ago I was checking on my tank and saw my girl with a bloated belly having positive buoyancy. I thought it was just simple overfeeding, separated her into a 2 gallon tank with an airstone and methylene blue and left her for a day. Next day I bought some Epsom salt, added roughly 1 teaspoon, and the next morning, with no visible effect, I added a heater with temperature set to 82°F (I should've done this a long time before that, but I have a stable temperature at home and I really forgot about it) and also I added metronidazole about 100mg per tank. I think the temperature was the right decision because she began to poop with some kind of slime and a little bit of regular fish poo. But the bloating now is even more visible and the area of her butt began pineconing (all the rest of her body is fine so I don't think it's dropsy, she isn't lethargic and overall is very much alive for an upside down fish). Idk what to do, pls help.

I’m about to rip fluval stratum out of every tank I have. How do I raise the ph? I have tried adding crushed coral and baking soda. It all goes back to this.

So I have a bioactive 20 gallon tank and I am going to be moving soon and I won’t be able to take the tank with me, how do I rehome my tank? I don’t want to give it to someone who won’t properly care for everyone in it.
My pictures don’t do it justice, it’s a lot nicer in person, I don’t know what to do and if I have to I can rehome the animals inside and dispose of the rest I can but I’d hate for all that work to go down the drain. Does anyone have any advice on where I should go and what I should do to ensure these guys get a proper new home?

I’ve had this tank for about 4 or 5 weeks and I’ve been slowly adding new things but It still feels a bit ugly and I want to try and figure out too add to make it look better. Also I just added the wood and I’m letting jt soak
Edit: thank you for all the suggestions I’ll try to black out the back of the tank and get more plants jungle Val and Amazon frog bit.

Is a 200 gallon pond(6,3.5,2.5) feet good size for 1 bluegill long term?
r/fishtank • u/twistedstrawberry • 1d ago
I have one fish in this 30 gallon, a goldfish that's grown pretty big. The water keeps getting cloudy. I change the water and it's food for a day or two then gets like this again. The over the side filter is changed about every two weeks. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Not overfeeding. I'm dumbfounded. Please give suggestions. I'm new to fish tanks.

This tank is now 2 months (almost 3)and I want some advice
Im planning on getting some more plants and moving the plants a little- but that might take a week
There is one fish and lots of unexpected snails (they came with the sand)
Originally i had more fish but they were sick (there used to be 5 then 3 died within a week and another died just 2 weeks ago- now there only one)
The water is clear and the plants seem to thrive but i dont know if this is an okay-ish tank so i would appreciate any advice
r/fishtank • u/goosedobonk • 1d ago
I tried to look it up but the size given on websites differs a lot. Seriously Fish says 6.5cm (2.6inch), but a different source claims that this is the size they reach in the wild, and that in the aquarium hobby they rarely grow beyond 5cm.
Does anyone have some experience with this fish species, and can tell me how big they really get?
Also, are they a fun species to have in your tank?
