It is always awful when you end up with sick fish and in some cases, no matter what you do, you never seem to be able to prevent it which can be frustrating as well. Ensuring that you keep your fish clean and stick to a…

White spots disease?
White spots on your fish are definitely ich and it is something that can happen without you even doing anything to cause it. Did you manage to get rid of the white spots? It's always difficult to find a way that works…
Ich would have to be one disease I find many always run into when it comes to keeping freshwater fish. Friends as well that I have who own freshwater fish have nearly always complained of their fish getting ich more so…

Fish Doctor?
This is something I always wondered about as you always see many other animals going to the vet but you never see fish going to the vet. Most of the time I find that unless your local pet store can help you with issues…
I am so sorry to hear that you have lost guppies to Dropsy. It is something that can not really be helped or prevented and it can happen to anyone. Most of what has been explained above will help a lot in trying to…
If you have just recently treated one of your fish for ich I would definitely advise cleaning your sand once a week at least for the moment. If you are able to do it once weekly going forward that would probably be a…
Something I learned the hard way was that even though freshwater fish would eat any food they were given, it wouldn't always be the best for them and in some cases, could make them unwell or lack what they needed. It is…
Whenever I had my fish, I would always go for the fish food that my local pet store would have and I feel that was more than enough for my fish and they seemed to eat it. If you are looking for food that doesn't have a…

Making live food at home
I had a friend who used to make their own food because they felt it was better and cheaper than buying the fish food that is already pre-made for them. She always used to use any leftover food that she had and make that…
It would depend on two things I believe when you use a red light near a fish tank. How close do you have it to the tank and how big the light is? I have read that it doesn't affect freshwater fish and neither does it…
I always personally preferred to get them online as I knew that getting them online would be reliable and also safe as well as me getting them from a reliable store online. I do know people that tend to get certain…
I was brought up with freshwater fish tanks as a kid and I always saw my parents taking care of the tanks and such so I learned a lot from that and it was easier for me to go with something I already knew something…

How to decorate.....?
Whenever I had a fish tank I would always use gravel and also plants as well as decoration to make the tank seem much more natural for the fish. This always seemed to work for the fish I had which were usually goldfish.
My question would be do fish really have a very short attention span. I often wonder whether that is the case as they are always in the same tank and seeing the same things and just swimming around and it could seem…
Never use hot glue in a fish tank as it can dissolve and then cause issues in the tank. As mentioned, the silicone would be the better option for what you are wanting to do and less of a chance that you will cause…

How big....?
Most people are under the impression until they ask someone about it that starting off with a small tank would benefit them better but it's actually the opposite. Most will recommend you get a large tank and start large…
This is interesting as anyone I have known including myself has always had something on the bottom of the tank as well as plants as well. I suppose it really depends on the kind of fish you are keeping and whether they…
When I had my fish when I used to open the tank up to say feed the fish or do something, I would always catch the smell that came from it and it always reminded me of a rainy day and that fresh smell you get after it…
I would definitely suggest something that is close to 10 gallons if you are looking for something for your apartment. Most people I know who keep fish and are in an apartment do end up getting something roughly that…
I remember with my mum, we used to have small fish tanks but the more fish we ended up getting the more tanks we got until we got a huge standing one. That was when my mum realized she had a problem with getting too…
