Hello friends from cold places, and I mean cold like where it would get to zero or bellow over night in winter. What kind of fish do you keep in your outdoor tanks/ponds?
Ive had gold fish outside in the past but I am looking for something different. For a bit of context, where I live it gets pretty hot in summer and pretty cold in winter, what kind of fish would survive that outside? Thanks you
Hey! I’m coming up to almost a year of having my aquarium, and these Black Neons were actually some of the first fish I bought. So, I wanted to see what the smarter people think here, because I’m still learning and would rather double-check than assume.
I noticed today that one of them is significantly rounder than all the others, and I’ve never noticed them looking like this before. I’ve attached a few close-ups for comparison, plus a full tank shot for context.
They seem to be behaving completely normally, swimming with the group and eating normally. The belly looks quite evenly rounded and I can’t see any obvious pineconing.
I’m thinking she might just be a female full of eggs, but wanted to double-check that this doesn’t look like bloating, dropsy, parasites or anything else that could potentially affect the rest of the tank.
Would you be concerned, or does she just look very eggy?
Disclaimer: some of these photos were taken at feeding time with Bug Buffet in full swing, so the tank is actually a lot cleaner than it might initially look. Bug Buffet goes everywhere.
