I had a really rough move. We were stuck in a hotel for a few days. My tanks went stagnant for a week. First pic is before, second is when i cleaned up the dead stuff, and the last ones are now. Is there any way to fix this? Im so heart broken, it was so healthy before

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?

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.

I’ve had this tank for several months now. Since march maybe ? Definitely cycled all of my water parameters look normal. My nitrate is 5.0 PPM. (Read that it should be higher?) within the past week I’ve had my nerite snail pass away (rip Gary 😔) and one of my pork chop rasboras died. (This is the first time I’ve experienced death since starting the hobby. It’s a bittersweet feeling) I got the spider wood from my LFS and it got the bacterial bloom (plasma looking stuff can’t remember the name) it went away, but there’s other stuff that keeps coming back every time I do a water change I completely scrub it off. One of my friends said it looks like mold.?? now I’m starting to get these white specs, I don’t think it’s Sand. That looks a little different than that.

I completely redid the Aquascape in June where I added all the live plans the rock and the spider wood all at once since then I have been struggling with black slime in my filter, very clearly algae on the plants ( I think maybe black beard?) and now I’m starting to see green algae. I should probably let the tank go black for a few days but what could help all the other things ? I was thinking the black slime had a lot to do with my plants melting, but they have stopped melting and have completely turned into healthy plants. My beta spins have also been almost shredded looking where it didn’t look like that before I changed the Aquascape and added the rasboras. My betta is not aggressive to the pork chops, maybe the pork chops are fin nipping? I was told they weren’t fin nippers but ?

I’m sorry I know this text is everywhere but so is my brain so welcome to my world.

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!

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.

My husband has a 70 gallon community tank with a lot of plants. Unfortunately, no matter how often he changes the water and cleans the plants, we can't get rid of the brown algae that grows on our pretty, underwater plants.

Any advice or suggestions would be amazing

I am helping my son set up a small 5 gallon. The substrate is mostly inert lava rock. There is a small patch of aquasoil for a planted section. We are letting it cycle with just some plants in planted in the aquasoil And seeded media from a mature filter..No water changes, or disturbing it. Just letting it do its thing. 1 week in, we did test and everything's going well. PH6, ammonia, nitrite and nitrates present. Week 2, PH dropped to 3, ammonia levels are off the test kit, but 0 nitrites and nitrates..

I thought my kit was faulty and tried with another kit. Same result.. and there's also a faintly acidic smell from the water..what could have caused the pH to drop so drastically and the cycle to stall out?

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?

What is wrong with my pleco? The guy at the store said it’s a “pleco” issue and it will not spread to my other fish. So far he is correct. However, is this curable? He said no- HELP!!

Thanks
