My Algae eater was getting bullied. She had a lack of food, as the other Algae was eating it. I couldn't move her, as I had nothing large enough. I looked up whatever I could, tried to feed her separately, but she wouldn't eat it. Rest In Peace, Leila.
My betta fish has fin rot, I tried to cure the fin rot and when i was putting my fish in quarentine, it hoped out of the tank and dropped onto the floor so i picked it up in a hurry and put it back in the tank and now, its traumatized and idk what to do about it. Im doing this in secret because my dad doesnt wanna cure the fin rot, he says "the fish will die anyway" and now I wish I listened to him.
Great info. Adopted my nieboor 55 tank with fish. One of the parrot fish is stressed started acting a lil funny. Now other fisf are bullying huh I'm going to separat.
You know paul when i started taking some rocks and a couple plants out of my tank so my borleyi could have more swimming room thats when i started noticing him acting different and then that parasite or fungus started to grow on him!
I got 2 catfish juveniles and housed them with a bristlenose pleco female. She became very territorial and started chasing one of them. I immediately removed the pleco,but my lil guy was real pale and seemed very stressed. He seemed fine this morning 🤞
Question: I have 3 goldfish in a 20 gallon. Yes, I'm aware that is a small tank for 3 common goldfish, but for now, they are 3 years old and normally live in a small pond in the backyard. Every winter I bring them inside before everything begins to freeze over. The largest one is about 6 inches, the other two about 4 inches, and rather suddenly, the two smaller fish have become stressed out. The water quality is fine, I have two hang on back filters and an air stone. I do weekly water changes. They have been fine for the last few weeks and have only recently been acting the way they are. The biggest one can sometimes be agressive, but that is only around feeding time. So, is there any outlier that can explain for the smaller two being stressed and the largest being just fine?
One of my new glofish danio has been idling near, but not against the water surface, sometimes swiftly swimming until she returns to her spot. She's new so maybe she's not used to the other fish.
Found the issue, she has a bruise on her right pectoral fin. Not good, given that she's started to swim against the water surface and has both of her fins reached out.
My 2 fish just got moved into a new tank and for the old tank I used to use Filterd water so didn’t need to use chlorine remover. But since this tank is bigger i used the tap water instead. The old water was room temperature and idk if it’s the same. My fish are acting a bit weird. They wanna eat non stop the keep having weird JOLTS where there swimming normally then all of sudden swimming super fast. Should I be worried I mean idk I don’t want them to die. It could be stress especially from the move and the water. But I’m just worried i don’t want to got to sleep tonight. Edit: I removed my fish from the tank to a fish bowl with filterd water and there doing much better. I’m letting the tank water sit for a few hours.
I got 10 neon tetras and 4 of them dies and my i got 4 pink tetras and 2 neon tetras and now my 1 neon tetra is stressed and goes in a dark place in my Aquarium and late r Hes now better Thats why when your fish is stressed you need to get another aquarium And get your stresed fish and put him there all by his own And a little bit food And your aquarium supposed to be dark little bit and no need any light
That’s what’s happening to my tank right now. My original fish has been by himself for 6/7 months now and I’ve introduced two fish one day apart from each other. He did ok with the first one. He was a little excited...at least I thought. He got use to him quick. But the second one he looks different from him & the other fish. He didn’t take well to this one. He’s hiding and anti social. He will eat but just seeing he’s not himself. :( maybe do you think if I buy stress coat it would help?
I know this is an old video but hopefully I can get some help here. I just added exasperatus cichlids to a 55gallon. I have 18 juveniles, 3 cory catfish (theyre going to be rehomed) and a rubber lip pleco. My problem is the cichlids are showing signs of stress, agitated swimming and hiding/not eating. My water parameters are fine and i have a lot of hiding space. I have oxygen in my tank too. What else could it be? Could it be a possibility that my bubble bar is producing too many bubbles? Is my light too bright?
Hey! Idk if you will see my comment anytime soon but I have a 30g tank and I have one bristle nose pleco which is about 3-4 inches. I also have one electric blue Johanni cichlid which is about 2 inches and I have one peacock cichlid which is about 3 inches. I wanted to ask you if I would be able to add more fish to my tank or if my 3 fish is enough. Also can underpopulation cause stress?
My two new clownfish are breathing pretty hard and working their mouths alot.. and I have NO idea what it could be.. the male was eating last night, they arent at the top of the tank gasping for air or anything, but hanging out toward the bottom, still swimming and hovering and they arent laying down or on their side, and they aren't swimming weird or anything.. I desperately hope I can figure it out. And figure it out fast.
My rainbow shark woke me up after hitting the glass, I was really worried so I changed 20% of the water and monitored her. Is it possible she is just exercising or hyper? The water is as it always has been for 3 years..
@@inventoryking Yes it was at night, but I've been following the same routine I always have. She only does this sometimes but I get really worried when she hits the glass.
My beta is new and he was looking at his reflection and got aggressive and I heard it can hurt them so I put white paper so he doesn’t see his reflection and now he is pacing and going crazy and idk what to do. Can you please reply?
He was likely seeing himself and thinking it’s another fish. I would let it be for a while. It will work itself out. My powder blue tang does this too. And then stops
my fish always stays at the bottom of the tank and doesn't move as much as the other fishes. sometimes my fish swims up and then get back down again. when I gave food, my fish eats then gets back to the bottom of the tank. I got worried, is my fish stressed? or is my fish just trying to chill? please reply, I don't want to lose my fish
Strange. I have a Longfin Koi and 2 Large comet goldfish. I heard that when the top fin is low and slicked against its body its a sign of sickness or a lot of stress however all of my fish have a high, raised fin. though mg smaller Comet is staying on the bottom of the tank, literally laying on the gravel. every once and a while she will move around, but she also hasnt been eating. I dont exactley know if she is slowly dying, overeating, completley out of energy or something like that.
Is there any way to contact you and send you a short video of my betta fish? I’m worried about him and I’m a new betta owner and I’ve been reading up on them but I can’t pinpoint anything
I have 2 new goldfish and one janitor fish(that black fish that helps clean the tank) and had 2 new comet fish. Unfortunately I think 1 was bullied because it was trying to hide and was breathing hard and died. The other comet fish recently died and I don't know why, I think the janitor fish got annoyed by the bigger goldfish(the janitor fish was the oldest and biggest of all the fish) and hit my small comet fish and died at the bottom of the tank. What should I have done so both of my comet fish wouldn't die?
@@inventoryking Suddenly, this morning I found out my janitor fish had passed away. He lived a good, long life, yet I wish I could have helped him live longer. Thank you for the advice though and I have learned for the future.
Guys help me please I have a small fish that is bullyed by the bigger fish than him,he has these symtoms of withdrawing from the group ,hiding near the filter and he is very scared of the other fish but the bigger problem is that I dont have a quarantie aquarium bbecause I'm a beginner
How much less aggressive are hap compared to peacocks? I alway notice the stressed fish from bullying gets stressed than sunkin stomache. Curious if I should get rid of peacocks and go with all haps
Do you have any tips to get new fish to eat. They seem to try everything but spit out the food. Rejects pellets, flakes and frozen food. They mouth soft soaked algae wafers but not sure if they are actually eating anything. The fish look healthy and now i’m staving them a few days and I see them grazing algae off rocks, pots and plants.
African Kribensis. The fish look healthy so I have a feeling the Lfs was feeding them live foods. Btw, enjoy watching your Haps. 17yrs ago I used to raise Tropheus duboisi, fO Mpimbwe Tilapia, Mbuna, Peacocks and Eb Ahlis. I know how much work can go into maintaining multiple 125 gallon tanks and above ground ponds lol. I can feel your effort with each and every video you post.
my small fish jumped out of the aquarium and after( i don't know how many time) i found her and she was breathing i puted her in the aquarium she was sick her freind was helping her and after one night i found her freind died idk why she didn't died and her freind died.
Not just for our aquatic friends. The main reason I keep fish. I swear they pick up on when my pain induced stress levels are high.
Absolutely! They can help with our stress! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Great points Paul, your fish all look great!
Thanks Corey!
I was cleanimg my salt water aquarium and my fish got super aggresive IDK what to do
That is interesting. Not sure why. Did you catch the fish and put it in time out?

Did it live?

It can be tough to keep the stress down in a AC tank. All good tips your fish are looking chill bud and real nice
Absolutely, I think there is always stress in a AC tank. They can handle a lot. Appreciate you stopping in.
One of my new glofish danio has been idling near, but not against the water surface, sometimes swiftly swimming until she returns to her spot. She's new so maybe she's not used to the other fish.
Could be that. Maybe the water parameters.
Found the issue, she has a bruise on her right pectoral fin. Not good, given that she's started to swim against the water surface and has both of her fins reached out.
Also add a tablespoon of aquarium salt every morning until the fish start moving.
Interesting
inventoryking not sure if it helps but I do it because I heard it reduced the stress on fish but it might not be true.
one of my goldfish are glass surfing. should i be considered?
How is it doing? I would just keep a close eye on it
Amen. :)
Nice video as always. Keep them coming🐟
Thank you!
Do y'all know why my spiny eel is going up and down the tank , is he stressed or is he just playing?

I got 10 neon tetras and 4 of them dies and my i got 4 pink tetras and
2 neon tetras and now my 1 neon tetra is stressed and goes in a dark place in my Aquarium and late r
Hes now better
Thats why when your fish is stressed you need to get another aquarium
And get your stresed fish and put him there all by his own
And a little bit food
And your aquarium supposed to be dark little bit and no need any light
It is always good to have an extra tank or time out basket for the fish
This was helpful thanks
You bet John.

I like to add more than 1 fish at a time, it helps spread the aggression. I think keeping that fish separate for a while is best.

Do how do i help a new fish that is stressed
You can add them to a fish tank in an acclimation box. so the other fish see if for a few days and it is safe.
How much less aggressive are hap compared to peacocks? I alway notice the stressed fish from bullying gets stressed than sunkin stomache. Curious if I should get rid of peacocks and go with all haps
It all depends. Haps are typically more nasty. Sunken belly means the fish has an internal parasite. Treat with metro treated food.
