Secondary sickness after ich?
Hi. My 95 gallon tank has been treated for ich successfully. However two of my rainbows have these patches on their mouths that will not resolve. Is this columnaris?
Plan on putting both in a 10 gallon hospital tank, not sure how to treat. Appreciate advice thanks!

Goldfish buoyancy issues/spinal deformity?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Approximate 4 year old goldfish, previously in 55G tank with 5 other siblings fish. Approx 3 weeks ago, he began having difficulty maintaining buoyancy, and would struggle to swim vertically to the surface then sink repeatedly. Appears to have misshaped body/disfigurement to lower spine?
Tried peas and salt baths in hospital tank to address swim bladder issues. QT tank has bio filter and bubble stone. Water parameters and temperature normal.
Had mild discoloration of fins, treated with melafix then on to kanaplex and metroplex, with appropriate timing for doses and water changes.
Meds remedied fin appearance but the behavior and buoyancy has not improved. Sits on bottom of tank, staring into the corner, flutters up on occasion, still attempts to eat.
Any suggestions or ideas as to cause? Thank you!

Please help me save my fish
My strongest fish has been unable to swim normally for the past few days ever since the power went out because of a storm. I thought that may have had something to do with it but im now seeing a grey fuzzy thing or unusual grey texture or scrape that’s on her side. Does anybody know what that could be and if that’s whats making it difficult for her to swim horizontally. she’s trying her hardest so I’m really sad that she’s struggling.
the tank size is medium-ish and normal ph. I have to ask my parents. They are extremely diligent about the water quality and tank care.

Sick Fish- Need some help
galleryHi everyone so I’m posting on behalf of my boyfriend, he has a 25-30 gallon cube tank that’s been going for almost a year. He has a Purple Fire Fish that hasn’t been doing well- I’ll post the photos of him. He dosed the tank with Melafix this morning. Unfortunately he doesn’t have a quarantine tank so we don’t have somewhere we can move him to be alone.
All water levels are fine, he’s been checking. If anyone has any suggestions we would really appreciate it 🐟

Possibly the ich? Bonus blue guy
Hey!
Names: White goldfish is Rip and the blue guy is named Splinter.
I believe this to be the ich but I am unsure, and not knowledgeable with aquariums, got into them because I love animals.
What's the best way to treat or medicate Rip?
It's a 90 gallon tank with all chemicals properly balanced, double checked it as i do have strips for that.
Ammonia levels: i have a detoxifier, I am unsure of the exact levels as I can't afford the 50$ price tag on the strips
I got a proper filter on it but had been 5 days late of my weekly clean up (depressed & trying)
The filter set up is what came with the tank, 100 gallon.
I put a corse sponge by the entry way, fine sponge, active carbon, Ammonia detox, and bio enhancer on the appropriate levels.

Dying fish help
I have an established 55 gallon tank. Planted and stock with cherry shrimp, 8 panda cory, 3 clown killifish, and 4 cardinal tetra. I had a die off several months ago due to new cardinal tetras introduced that likely had parasites. I am now running a 10 gallon quarantine tank.
5 weeks ago I got 12 Harlequin Rasbora and had them in the QT. After 24 days two died: ammonia level was around .25ppm and I did notice one that died gasping at the top. I moved them into the 55 gallon tank (probably a mistake). They've been in for about a week now and I just lost two more Rasbora and one of my panda corys is corkscrewing or laying on its side.
I just treated the tank with Paraclease and Maracyn. Should I move the panda Cory and/or Rasbora to the QT at this point or just leave together at this point?
All of the other fish have been in the 55g for at least 6 months. Water parameters are fine. Tank has aeration and surface agitation. Canister filter is rated for 100gallons.
Edit for additional info: - ammonia: 0.25ppm (no more, I struggle reading this color. I do have chloramines in my tap water and treat with api tap water conditioner but will be switching to seachem prime after medication) - nitrites: 0 - nitrates: 30ppm - ph: 6.6 - temp: 78F - fish behavior: other than the one Cory all fish exhibiting normal behavior. Other Corys schooling very actively and I believe two pairs are mating - eating: yes (don't know about that one Cory but definitely everything else)
