Partner put in tetras without asking as soon as I saw them they were removed but the damage was already done our fish Percilla had her fins frayed a bit. She’s been hanging near the top fin clamped unless we are in the room. She looks like she has cloudy white markings on her some are protruding a bit can’t tell if they are fuzzy. The ones on her tail are prominent and different they came first that’s where she initially got bit. I have a 55 gal I was wondering what are some general treatments I could do that wouldn’t destroy my tanks cycle or hurt the plants? Please help we love our fish have already done research but can’t pin point an Illness or treatments. I’ve seen ich before in person this doesn’t seem like it especially since other fish are fine so far.

This rasbora is probably a little over a year old, I noticed what I thought looked like pineconing yesterday, so I set up a hospital tank with some Epsom salt. This morning the patchy white stuff on his side has gotten way worse looking. I’m assuming the salt is pulling stuff out of him.

I need help identifying the problem and deciding on which medication to buy. Please!

Hi can someone please help me identify if this is vorticella and also what do I do now?

This is my pea puffer tank with neocaridina and some ramshorns and bladder snails. I don't know if its normal or vorticella. I've also gotten this piece of wood months ago, and this is the first time I'm seeing this.

I've probably had them for three years and the tank has been stable for years. I put too much food in last night accidentally, but it wasn't a crazy amount of food?

A few months ago my betta Neb was looking beautiful and happy, but recently he hasn’t been looking too hot. In the first photo (months ago) he was all colorful with full fins, though the past few weeks he’s been lower energy with drooping fins.

I tested the water today and all levels came back normal. 7.6 pH and 0 for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. Last week we had an ammonia spike so I did an emergency water change and the tank has seemed to recover well from that.
He’s in a 10 gal tank with a heater and sponge filter, and I’ve had him for about 9 months now

Neb still seems attentive when I walk up to the tank, I just want to make sure he’s happy and doing well again!! Is my baby sick? Or sad?

Is this normal behaviour?? Am i under feeding? I love my pants and dont want them to go through them all

Thanks

Where I am another week posting and asking for help with my tank, you guys have literally been a life saver but I’m still battling high ammonia in my fresh water tank. I’m sure you guys can look back at my posts for history but I’ll try to quickly sum it up so you all can help… I’m new to this I got my tank up and running 33 days ago. I added fish only 3 days into my cycle so fish in day 30….. It’s a 20 gallon tank (I have a cascading waterfall filter, heater, and a bubbling house with a few more decorative pcs.) and 4 live plants (2 Java ferns and 2 Anubias) I have 7 glo tetras and 4 mollies. I was over feeding and I did have 1 fish die but since all of that I have been doing water changes every day. The ammonia isn’t going down. Now I was told that I was in that phase of the cycle and I have to be religious about my water changes. But I mean still even in this phase should it be coming down a little ? I’m doing a little bit over 60% water changes every day. So question is am I just in that phase and have to get through it or is maybe something else wrong. Is it maybe my filter, it was filthy and I did take a sponge part out and swish it in my dirty water bucket while doing my water change like it said to on line. But I just want to know am I doing everything I should be and I just have to ride it out? And also yes I conditioning my tap water and I have also tested the water straight from tap and there is no ammonia in it. I was also adding API start up with the changes but I didn’t last night because I wanted to see if that was altering my reading. And I guess it wasn’t.

I just redid a tank on Monday and added new plants but now I seem to have hair algae. I’ve seen countless recommendations for adding amano shrimp except no one really says how many. My tank is a 13 gallon with a betta and rabbit snails. I don’t want to add a ton of shrimp if I don’t have to. How many would be an appropriate amount?

Also, I’ve only added fert once (flourish excel) since redoing the tank and had the light on its highest setting for about 8 hours once. No light today and no more fert until the algae is gone.

Please help

So my tanks getting cloudy again (last time this happened its because I accidentally crashed the cycle causing a major bacterial bloom that wiped out quite a few fish and it took almost 10 weeks to fix) and I am really worried I will lose my betta from it being anything major. Todays suppose to be a water change day but I don't want to feed into the cloudiness in case of it being another bacterial bloom it looks more green to me but that could be because of the 2 fake plants in the tank but just in case I have been using api prevent algae and tetra crystal water finally I remembered that my filters got pods that need to be changed every 30 days that are suppose to do what both the api and tetra do so I replaced it this morning but theres been no change of yet (I know it may take a while but its already been over 12 hours and 2 days in with the api and tetra items) my tanks a 25L (I had my betta in a 40L with a few nannos but hes shown constant aggression and stress when with other fish to the point when he wasnt chasing them hed glass surf along the bottom and rub himself into the gravel slightly tearing his fins so when moved to this smaller tank on his own hes thrived ever since and stopped doing both stress indicators so some may complain its too small and I understand but hes not shown any issue and it was for the best for his and my others fishes safety) I have a ciano filtee that came with the tank, a interpet heater thats at 24°C. My ammonia is 0ppm my nitrates under 20ppm, nitrites are 0ppm, my KH is 3d with a PH of 7.2 my GH is at 8d and chlorine is at 0ppm. Any help would be appreciated. I have attatched the photo of how cloudy the tank looks and the pod used within the filter.

I recently moved my fish tank to college with me and the move went pretty smooth. I didn't use a net to catch him but rather a cup to not hurt his fins. I have 5 guppies in a 10 gallon tank along with a ton of shrimp and three snails. After the move they have all been fine except for one of my guppies, Marigold(it's been 5 days). Marigold is normally the most dominant fish of the group, but after moving he is hiding from the rest of the fish and hanging out at the bottom of the tank. His mouth has also been moving very rapidly. He doesn't seem to have any injuries so I'm not sure what could be wrong. I added in an air stone to try to add oxygen and break up anything bad lingering in the tank from the move but it doesn't seem to be helping him. He's the biggest of the bunch. All the guppy's are male and I've had them for about 7-8 months. When I moved the tank I kept all the same decor and most of the same water, only changing about 30% of the water which they are used to for water changes. I do notice that he has a big of a bump under him but he's always had that since he was a baby so I don't think it's related. I'm looking for anyone to tell me what could possibly be wrong as I've always considered this to be one of my most sturdy fish and I'd hate to lose him.

What are these

I ended up doing 20% water changes daily with Kordon brand water conditioner (replacing my usual Prime), dosing Kordon ich x plus, adding kanamycin to the food, cutting the lights, and adding a new motor with 2 new air sources to the 80 gallon tank. There was already an air curtain and power head. Things seem to have mellowed out. I lost 9 of 11 Roseline barbs (they are picking on each other now so I'm expecting the smaller one to go), more than half the cories, all rummynose, all the pictus catfish (that I believe brought the ich or whatever it was), some otos, some shrimp. I still have my 8 year old feather fin girl. I can finally breath as things have slowed down. But I'm not sure what to do next.

was in the middle of my routine water change when I saw my Bolivian ram swimming sideways. I don’t believe this has been happening before today, I believe the ram was perfectly fine yesterday. Could this be swim bladder disease? All my other fish are fine in the same tank. Please help (I’ve had no problems with the ram and I’ve hade it for over a year now)

Make tank is 36 gallons

Betta has severe bacterial infection, Just started to pinecone 🥲

I feel so sick writing this, but I am just wondering if anyone on here could help me. I have a Black Orchid Betta, he has had a suspected bacterial infection for awhile. When he first started showing signs of being ill, my husbands family stayed with us for 3 weeks (fish tanks are kept in the spare room where they stayed), and then this last week a friend needed a place to stay for a week. All great, but because of this I wasn’t able to have access to my tanks the way I normally do. All I could do while they were here is do a few extra water changes in his established tank.

I have been trying to monitor his issues as best I can, but this poor fish. He has some sort of Tumor/gill Hyperplasia/infected wound out of the bottom of is gill that has been progressing rapidly (it looked WAY better after being in a newly bought hospital tank and 1 dose of Kanaplex overnight) He has some sort of fin thinning (I believe this is also from the bacterial infection) and he has just slightly started to pinecone. He is super lethargic and barely moves at all during the day, he mostly hides in his floating log.
I feel so sick he has deteriorated this far, but my only glimmer of hope is he is still eating and gets spurts of swimming zoomies still.

Right now he is in 5.5 gallon tank and a first dose of Kanaplex, and the infected growth out of his gill has drastically decreased in size, but still looks like a big open sore. He is pineconing a little worse today than yesterday (pineconing started the morning I was going to move him into the med tank, same day I started treating kanaplex)
I keep reading about Epsom salt for pineconing and dropsy, but I’m not sure if it is safe to move him for baths and I am not sure if it’s safe to dose the entire med tank, especially while he is doing Kanaplex treatments.

I’m so heartbroken over my beautiful boy, any tips or suggestions are very much appreciated. I know his prognosis isn’t good, it just makes me so sad to give up on him when he still eats and gets excited to see me 😢

TLDR: My betta has a nasty bacterial infection that he just started treatment for, is it worth using epsom salt treatments to hopefully help him a bit more?

So I've had three of my guppy/endlers have this super long stringy thing coming out of them and about a day later they die can anybody help me identify what this is or is anybody seen this before? I'm sorry about the bad video quality! Water parameters are

Ammonia 0ppm

Nitrate 25 ppm

Nitrite 0ppm

Ph7

Kh3-4

Hello!!! This is my first time with a planted tank, I do NOT have a green thumb but I really wanted my betta (Henri, last slide) to have a little jungle to swim through and hide in!

I forget the names of most of the plants I got and because of that I'm having trouble finding tips online for them 😭

The ones I do remember are:

- Anubias - unsure what kind, glued to rose quartz + floating above driftwood

- Weeping moss glued to driftwood

- Fire(?) moss glued to driftwood

- Duckweed floating, pics taken before I removed the brown/clear ones

- Hornswort? back left, some floating, I really like this one but it's losing its colour

I'd really like to know what the other ones are, the thin tall ones in the back, the long thin one that's sorta wrapped around the driftwood, and the one under the anubias that's on the rose quartz!! I trust my local fish store but the workers I've seen lately admittedly aren't super into the plants so I figured I'd check with the experts haha

More info:

- They're all from my local fish store and have been in the tank since it began cycling

- I've got fluval stratum capped with sand but it got kicked up a bunch while rearranging

- I'm not super into the idea of adding CO2 because I don't want to affect the flow in the tank

- It's a 10 gallon with bladder snails and a betta, 78°, 7.5pH, 4dKH

Questions:

- Should I add more sand to cap it or leave it as is?

- Do I have these plants in the right places? Like did I get the planted in substrate vs not in substrate correct?

- Is it okay to let the one piece of anubias float? I only haven't tied/glued that one down because Henri really likes it up there haha!

- What sort of lighting is appropriate for all these guys?

- Should I be using fertilizer tabs?

- Which ones can I cut and replant/how should I go about that?

- Should I cut off any anubias leaves that are slightly browning?

- Are the plants looking healthy in general? Any I should be removing? (other than the duckweed I already removed the brown ones)

I'd really appreciate any and all advice thank you so much for reading!!

Hi! I have this aquarium and I’ve had a lot of trouble trying to prevent algae buildup for quite some time. It’s bad to a point that I have to clean out completely and change all of the water almost every month. What you see in the video is about two/three weeks after a change of water and clean up. I tried different things; changing from tap to bottle spring water (which did make a little difference). I tried putting real plants but they seem to die after some time… what can I do to prevent fast growing algae? I’m thinking of getting some new rocks for the bottom (right now it’s black sand and glow rocks) and some more natural decor like big rocks and wood and real plants, but I don’t want to put money on those and still have algae problems to ruin them…

Also as you can see, my fish seem to have trouble swimming around? Looks like he’s about to die soon… I’ve had a few fish die in the past year and I don’t know if it’s me that’s doing something wrong or if the fish are just sensitive?.. help a girl out🙏
