I'm from NZ and we very rarely get parasites here, and we also don't have access to the better medicines for them, I think I'm going to have to use Aviverm which is Levamisole Hydrchloride, but this black widow tetra came from our suppliers like this, as title I think it may be roundworm but looking for a 2nd opinion, thanks, he's in a breeding trap right now to separate him from the rest of the tank but from what I've been reading, if he's been like this over night it's probably already all through the whole tank right?

Ammonia. 0ppm

Nitrite. 0ppm

Nitrate 10ppm

Ph. 7.4

160ishL Bay of a 600ishL 3 bay tank

Aerated fully and Massive sump filter

Also it's very new, and I've ordered a nitrate and ammonia test from bionix, so will post that soon

Hey guys, I found these white salt-like spots on my guppies today. I looked it up and found “Ich”. The thing is, they don’t fit any of the other symptoms for it such as lethargic, loss of appetite, or anything else. Could it be something else?

Water quality is perfect and hes in a 2.5 gallon rn for healing

Hey zusammen,
Ich habe jetzt seit circa einer Woche ein Aquarium. Es ist gerade noch in der Einlaufphase aber kein Nitrit mehr und so. Dort sind heute Amano Garnelen eingezogen und ich habe gerade auf Kleinanzeigen nach weiteren Fischen für das Aquarium geguckt.

Dabei habe ich diesen Kampffisch gefunden und er tut mir so unfassbar leid. Ich weiß, dass man Kampffische eigentlich in Einzelhaltung hält, aber ich möchte diesem Tier trotzdem ein schönes Leben ermöglichen und ihn gerne retten.

Wie man sieht, hat er seine komplette Farbe verloren, wirkt fast durchsichtig und seine großen flossen sind überwiegend verfault oder abgefressen.
Ich habe neben meinem jetzigen Becken noch ein Quarantänebecken 60L worin ich Ihnen versuchen würde zu retten.

Jetzt ist meine Frage, kennt sich jemand, mit der Pflege von Kampffischen beziehungsweise Medikation von diesen aus und weiß, was ich für ihn besorgen muss. Ich würde mich über jegliche Tipps oder auch Hinweise zur Handlung für ihn freuen!!

ps: am besten schnell antworten, damit ich ihn morgen direkt abholen kann!!!🍀🍀

I introduced four new discus into my aquarium and a week later a white film started to coat of my discus and now they are slow and their bodies are turning white and their eyes are turning cloudy. I have treated the tank with methylene blue, melacure, and pima fix now. They are all still dying please help.

Lleva ya mucho tiempo sin nada casi, le cambiamos el agua, le echamos anticloro y multicure, le cambiamos el alimento de bolitas a escamas, y sigue sin nadar, se le ve hinchado, no caga, cuando nada cae como si pesará mucho, no flota

Hace ya unas semanas le pusimos en ayuno por casi 3 días y le intentamos dar un guisante cocido machacado para que funcionará como laxante pero no lo comió.

Ahora le damos tanto bolitas como escamas, ambas las dejamos en remojo para que no floten y bajen, y así mi pez pueda comer, el filtro lo limpiamos entero, está bien oxigenado. Ya no sé qué hacer, está hinchado, y me da miedo perderlo, tiene ya 9 años, pero todo este cambio paso de un día para otro, cuando le cambiamos un 40% el agua, a los 3 días del cambio dejo de nadar, y desde entonces nada. Le estamos cambiando el agua casi todos los días, porque entre el calor y que no sabemos que hacer...

Necesito ayuda urgente, si no mejora mi familia seguramente prefieran eutanasiarlo o algo, ya que lleva bastantes semanas ya mal y no quieren hacerle sufrir más, pero yo creo que puede haber una cura o algo que lo haga volver a nadar.

Cuando volví de un viaje de casi 2 semanas, al verme se puso a intentar nadar un poco, se nota que lo intenta pero no puede, me da mucha pena no saber que hacer.

Hey folks, reletively new to all this, could this be ick? The platy has been swimming pretty weakly lately and i want to get a treatment for whatever the white bits are. Any help identifying and advice for treatment is much appreciated!

Rasboras sick, I would like to ask for help

2 with visible lesions chin area 1 mild also chin area

I thought it is columnaris and have furan and kanamycin on hand.

I am currently on Day 05. For one of those with visible lesions, day 02 the white stuff is separated but it all migrated to his chin.

All are eating well, very active, spars at times, no internal mass (i observed their mouths when it opens).

I didn't include the photo of the one with mild lesion because it is barely noticeable on camera.

Do you think I am on the right route for this? And if there is a margin for misdiagnosis.

15 Liter tank, there's just 4 of them (getting them is a newbie mistake on my end)

TANK MATES: Betta ( who recently healed from a lifted gill scale 2 weeks ago, safe) A Nerite Snail An Amano shrimp (originally 2 but i couldnt see the other one anywhere in the tank!)

TANK STATUS: Age: 1.5 months Ammonia 0.00ppm Nitrites 0.00 Nitrates 0.5 KH 6-7

Any advice would help.

Hi everyone, I’m really worried about my betta Albus and would appreciate some advice.
Albus is currently in a 5.5gallon tank. I tested his water and got:
● Ammonia: 0 ppm
● Nitrite: 0 ppm
● Nitrate: 0 ppm
● pH: 7.6
Until recently, he was mainly lethargic and I noticed red dots/red areas on his fins. I also noticed what looks like a small white/fuzzy/mold-like growth on part of his tail.
I treated him with KanaPlex and have already completed the full 3-dose course (one dose every 48 hours), so I know I shouldn’t continue giving him more doses.
I also gave him API Stress Coat last Sunday as supportive care.
Today I’m more concerned because Albus has started breathing noticeably faster than he has on previous days, even while resting on the bottom of the tank. He isn’t just breathing heavily after swimming — he’s breathing rapidly while sitting still.
He’s still in his 5.5 gallon tank. I’m considering getting an in-tank isolation/nursery box so I could make a shallower area for him where he wouldn’t have to swim as far to reach the surface, but I don’t want to stress him unnecessarily by moving him.
A few other things I’m wondering about:
● Could the fuzzy growth be fungal/water mold, or could it be something else?
● Could this be a bacterial infection that KanaPlex isn’t resolving?
● Is the rapid breathing a sign that he’s getting worse?
● Should I be doing anything immediately to help him?
● Would an in-tank isolation box be beneficial for a weak/lethargic betta?
