This is my Amano breeder tank. I took some of this from my other tank and put it in here. I have 20+ of these and this is the only one that looks like this?

I have 3 juvenile angels in my community tank who are being bullied by someone and I woke up and saw their fins nipped. I have this hexagon tank (28-38g, I need to measure) that is so tall I can’t use it for anything but I know angels don’t mind taller tanks. Would this work for a little? If not I’m gonna go pick them something up.
This will not be a forever home for them, they’re small. I can’t stand to see their fins nipped.

I groom lots of old dogs. I unintentionally kinda took on all the old dogs ranging from 15-20yo. Buffy was one of my favorites. She came in today and parents knew life was catching up to her. I just did a bath but her eye was bleeding and she kept going potty on herself. Her parents just needed her clean. I was happy to give her all the smooches.
I am sad. Here are some of my honeys I groom ❤️

Recently we took in Ponyo. She didn’t come from the best of conditions, but we love her anyway.
I knew with her body shape and husbandry her health would be a gamble.

I’ve definitely noticed she has a floaty butt. She stays at the top pretty much all of the time. I’ve been soaking all food or feeding wet foods like repashy, peas & frozen. We are currently on day 2 of fasting. She still eats fine, and is alert and responsive. No pineconing but I fear it.

I feel bad and would like to fix this issue if we can. She’s young. Her head is out of the water a lot. None of my other goldfish (I have 11) have had this issue but most I’ve had since they were tiny.

125gallon tank, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, nitrates 20-30. Water changes weekly. Temp 76.

Here we have Vivian, Ponyo, Pierre, Bruce, Alfred, Tux, Norty, Noodle, Tony, Charlie & Polly.
Seems like we’ll be upgrading to our 220 quicker than we thought!

Of my my dojos has a funky lump on his face. Been there for a while now, eats and acts completely fine.
Any ideas? I’ve never seen this before.

Why? Why do they like to give me heart attacks?

One of my first fish after cycling my new tank. I saw some weird blister like things on my firefish (his name is guy)
It’s a 36 gallon tank in planning to be a reef tank.
I’m feeling slightly discouraged from him falling ill so fast. It seems the bumps came off during the very stressful dip. He was still eating and hanging out. He’s in QT right now, 5 gallons bc I don’t want to try and catch him again. I’m looking for a UV sterilizer to run. I think a lot of it fell off during the dip.
Sorry for the awful pictures. My phone doesn’t like to take fish tank pics.

These guys gave me a heart attack and made me almost poop my pants today. FX6 was making sounds so I opened it to clean it. The horror when I saw these guys (tray had been sitting for 5 minutes with no water on them)
They actually have been breeding in here I guess. I have more than I originally bought and these bandeds are TINY compared to my others.
Still pretty shocked they even managed to stay alive in there. Lmao

I literally just almost pooped my pants when I went to clean my FX6. I found like 10+ kuhlis in there. I thought they were dead but nope, alive and well and some are so small I do not believe I bought them. The filter was making a weird noise so I took it apart to clean it.

A couple weeks ago my cats chews my hoses on my FX6. I turned it off for about ten minutes while cleaning up the mess (but it was the middle of the day?) then took out and disconnected the hoses while I ran to the store to get new ones.
How? Literally how? They have never done this and I they cannot get into my intake due to it not having big enough holes. I’m stumped, shocked and impressed.

I love them but when they all meet me at the corner of the tank with empty snail shells in their mouths like a dang golden retriever with a toy… I question their morals. 🤣

Tired of well water. Going to get a sediment filter, water softener & commercial rodi to make this hobby easier.

Water is literally un-drinkable, no RO or RODI can handle it without exhausting the resin immediately even after going through 2 RO/sed carts. Figured I’d get a nice unit but was wondering if anyone has used this brand.

I guess irs time to get some more plants and decor, their tank looks sooooo empty now!

Now he’s fat, kinda sassy and has learned how to swim. He’s grown in every way other than brain cells. He’s still stupid but that’s ok.
It’s insane to see how a good life can liven and color up a fish.

I love these guys so much. They really just make me so happy everyday. Vivian (largest oranda but a model on the side) has been with us for over 6 years. 3 different states, selling and buying homes, grieving/losses, gains, hard times and happy times.
Please enjoy these precious pics of the little pit bulls of the fish world.

Fish are so pretty, especially Congo tetras. . I changed the placement of my fx6 output and they always play in the flow for a day or two. Everyone is all colored up!

Located in the US (Oklahoma)

Have seen a good amount these guys in the house lately. Typically try to put them outside but this guy was sparring with my cat.
