Who Gives A Fish Forums

I just brought home a beta fish from the pet store a couple of days ago. Initially, everything seemed fine, but now I'm noticing what could be pinecone scales under his dorsal fin. They're only on one side, though. He's been super active and always eager for food, so I'm not seeing any sickly ...

Honestly, I'm not big on specific tank brands, I just go with whatever works best for my setup.


I'm with you on that, I've got brand tanks too, Aqueon's my go-to. I've always been interested in making my own equipment, but living with the folks makes that kinda tough. Plus, DIY can be pricey at ...

Really excited about this as it's my first time experiencing a tank pregnancy. A few weeks ago I found a single fry from another ...

I was checking out my 10g tank where I keep my gudgeons and I noticed something weird on some of the red root floaters. I'm not sure what it is - can someone tell me what's going on here and if it's something I should be worried about?
