I have two Ghost Catfish, one looks sick but acts healthy and the other looks healthy and acts sick, what I do?

Posted on January 12, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

They were in a 5 gallon tank with an algae eater, I left the one that was acting sick in the 5 gallon tank and moved the one that was acting healthy into a 10 gallon tank along with the algae eater. The sick acting one sometimes lays on the bottom of the tank barely moving but a while later will swim around like he is healthy. His scales and fins all look healthy with no signs of anything being wrong. The other fish, acts healthy and is always swimming, however he has lost his whiskers, and his fins look like he’s been in a fight. I feed them both freeze dried brine shrimp. Does anyone have a possible explanation or know of anything I could do for them.

Betta fish?

Posted on July 21, 2010 by admin| 13 Comments

I just got a betta fish and have had him about two weeks. A couple days ago he started to not eat anymore and he’ll just sit on he bottom of the tank all day. I’ve been feeding him dry pellets and today tried giving him some frozen brine shrimp but he just wouldn’t eat. He also was in a fight a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been giving him Bettafix remedy to help heal his fins. Any idea why he’s acting this way? Thanks!
Some of the guys in my house got three of them and kept them in a small bowl overnight..Let’s just say mine was the winner.

Betta is Not Eating, and has Possible FIN ROT?? (pic inside)?

Posted on April 29, 2010 by admin| 7 Comments

I got my Betta about a week ago, and as soon as i set up his tank i fed him 3 pellets he only ate One and the rest sank to the bottom, now i only try giving him one and he swims quickly up to it brings it into his mouth and then spits it out… he looks relitivly Healthy he swims and moves alot.. but then i noticed he might have FIN ROT!!!!!!! his fins dont look damaged in anyway he just had black on them but its hard to tell because he has a dark face.. so it might be just his Colouring?? Anyways what can i feed him other than pellets? i read that bettas only eat pellets when they are STARVING.. i know there is bloodworms and shrimp brines? but that stuff constipates them and are only treats? right?… Oh and hes not constipated i know that forsure… Also how can i treat this possible fin rot? i read that a bit of Aquarium salt works.. but is that even true?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!
