I’m getting a 20 gallln tank and I would like to know what are the best tropical freshwater fish that I could get? I would like to get a pleco, but he would get to big for my tank, so I’m wondering if I could donate him to my locomotive petco in The
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! This could be due to pain or discomfort as he could have hurt himself. However, it could also be coincidental. If he is otherwise doing well without limping, I think it would be ok to monitor him for now. However, if he develops a limp or any other signs such as crying in pain, inappetence or continued lethargy, have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They can check him for any evidence of pain and treat him based on findings. Good luck and have a great day!

My koi are loosing scales and one of my goldfish has white bumps on it's head. What could it be?
This could be bacterial or parasitic infection. It is difficult to determine definitively since the image provided is not clear. Fish can be difficult to photograph. Basic care includes checking water quality and chemistry. This can be done using a home test kit or by submitting a water sample for testing. The local Petco may do this for free or for a small fee. There should be an absence of ammonia and nitrites with nitrates at 20-60 ppm. pH should be as close to 7 as possible, avoiding large swings. Koi can tolerate a wide range in temperature, but generally do best between 65 F and 75 F. Again, avoid large swings in temperature to prevent stress or shock. If necessary, a partial water change can be done to stabilize chemistry and/or improve water quality. If you have other koi, consider placing this one in a hospital tank to make treatment easier and to prevent spread if the condition is infectious. Plain aquarium salt (NOT table or Epsom salt) can be used to reduce stress, impro

Hi, I was wondering if my discus fish has ich. It has white spots, but has been moving around and eating like crazy. It is new to my tank,(1 week) and has beeb acting normal. I am conserned and what to catch the ich early if it does have ich. My tank
It is difficult to determine since the image is not clear. Fish are very hard to photograph! If it does, then it is very early infection. Ideally, new fish should be quarantined for at least 2 week sin a separate tank to confirm good health prior to introducing them into the main tank. Monitor for worsening symptoms. If necessary, you can purchase an ich treatment and treat the tank. Look in the Aquarium section of the local Petco. Follow label directions and remove the carbon filter insert during treatment if indicated.

Sir/Mam I'm having 2 blood parrot fish at my house for nearly 2 years. About an hour ago I found that the bigger fish is lying flat on the surface and it seems that is not able to breathe properly and it's colour has become white from red. While th
Thanks for reaching out. Pale gills are a serious concern. Providing additional oxygen is necessary for anemic animals to continue to deliver oxygen to organ. An airstone and pump will help, but an oxygen bottle would be better. As for a cause, a gill biopsy would be the first stop to rule in/out parasites or bacterial gill disease. Test and correct water quality. Good luck.
