    I'm really not up on the latest. But, there is no chance of you overfilling.

    If he's still have some bouncy issues, he may stay hitched like that. He won't want to let go. Hopefully he'll let go soon so you can assess better what is going on.

    I had a big red one that I couldn't wrap my hand around he was so mighty. He would use his tail to pry my fingers off him.

    Lion acting strange

    You're feeding your lion a food item marketed for our hobby and more specifically predatory fish. You're enriching these food items with a well known trusted enrichment that has been around forever and used by many. Your fish has been nice and fat.... why would you even think he would not be...

    Lion acting strange

    There is nothing to treat at this point..... unless that is spot on the fish in picture 1 post #4. I'm not talking about the marks on his side, but the tiny dots. He is indeed malnourished if he has had Silversides for the past year. He is not underfed, so it really doesn't make a difference if...

    Lion acting strange

    I have to admit, I started at the bottom picture and went up. My husband was on the sofa and I said "Look Babe, come here! I wonder who is beating the.... ummm..... poo poo caw caw..... out of him". If you've had him a year..... who is biting off his spines? I kept scrolling up..... aha! That's...

    Lion acting strange

    It does indeed look like a buoyancy issue. He's trying not to float. At the end there you can see him pinning himself in place with his fins. Can you get some still shots for me? Of your other fish? Is he kind of pink? He is indeed very pale. They will usually shed frequently when they...

    How to Cure Saltwater Ich

    Flower, when my temps hit 82, my fish are stressed. All fish don't come from the same area and all areas don't have the same temperature. So, if someone's fish was used to 78, either because they were just removed from the ocean at that temp or have been acclimated over time, they are going to...

    How to Cure Saltwater Ich

    Within the temperature range our tropical fish can survive, ich is viable at every degree and beyond. The cold water strain, however, have optimal temperatures below what we would see in the tropical setting. I promise I'll get those exact numbers to you once I finish my set of shifts. I think...

    How can you tell if lion fish is pregnant

    It sounds like you are feeding them to much. Wait until the lump goes away and then start to feed again, even if it's a week. Can you get guppies? Goldfish, besides their nutritional deficits, high levels of inappropriate fat content and high levels of thiaminase, have skulls that have been...
