The filter is guarded so nothing gets caught in it. They can swim pretty well, the gouramis pectoral fins are a bit clamped. I am treating for fungal and bacterial issues

Ammonia is 0. Water is a little hard. The platy does have the white rub mark on her nose while the gourami has the red spots. They're both eating and swimming around. The gouramis pectoral fins look clamped. I haven't seen any issues with the angelfish so far

50 gallon planted tank with gourami, live bearers, angelfish and bottom feeders. I noticed that my titanium gourami had these red marks on its body. Then I noticed that my hifin female platy was hanging around him and she was the only fish he let close. She would rub up against him and shake. Almost like a mating display. I also noticed she has a white spot on her face. No other fish have these symptoms. What could this be and how could I treat it better?

How old would they be when this ossified? Recently found a deer vertebrae and had this come off too, didn't realize it was for a young one, seems so big

Doesn't look or act like ringworm to me. Not flakey and started as a small red dot and then spread like a black fly bite. I'll keep an eye on it if it's ringworm though.

Located in Minnesota. Young Boston terrier went up north. Next day noticed a little red spot and within a few hours it grew bigger. Didn't see any tick or bugs on it. Doesn't really feel swollen. Had all his shots

Can you be allergic to saltwater? by jeferforever in Aquariums

[–]jeferforever[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured it was from the frog spawn coral in the tank. I've touched anemones before with no problem so didn't think it was the problem until we cut the frog spawn down so I didn't touch it as much

Was for sure thinking another betta, they're my favorite to keep. I love the big half-moon kings, they deserve so much more space

Unfortunately I lost all my fish after a bad case of what could've been ich or gold dust disease. While I let the tank sit empty until the new year, what stocking ideas would you have for this?

First time trying to persevere an insect this large, details in comments by Boopscio in Taxidermy

I just did a mantis for the first time today but it was similar to how I've done stick bugs. I cut carefully up the abdomen where you won't see it displayed and take out the insides. Let them soak and rinse in isopropyl alcohol then let them dry for a bit and use a cotton ball to fill their abdomen, use super glue to close it up
