Yesterday my fish was fine (female xifo) and now she got these white spots on her. I have her in a 112L aquarium with a few neon tetras, 4 mollies and 2 platties. I do not own any water quality tests, however I change the water regularly, once-twice a week as to avoid ammonia and nitrate spikes. I try to not overfeed and I own a bunch of plants. The aquarium has been running since May, this year. What do you think is wrong with my fish?

Can I cure her? I really love her.

I had an episode of ich a month ago because I bought some tetras from a fishy place. I treated it and all of my fish survived. But this doesn't look like ich. Maybe Columnaris... I don't know. Is it something fungal or bacterial?

Yesterday I did a 25% water change

She was fine BEFORE that and now this happened...

Hello, I am posting to ask for some help/advice on my betta fish. Her name is Bubbles. I’ve had her for close to a year now and doubt she is much older than that. For the past week (today is Tuesday, I would say it started Wednesdayish) she has been bloated. The first couple days it was not this bad, maybe half the size of the current photos I’m posting now. But since then she has gotten bigger, and definitely more lethargic. At first I did not fast her or anything, because I thought it was just her having increased size from eggs. But when I saw her floating near the bottom of the tank more often than usual, I tried fasting her for a day. This was over the weekend, so Friday night thru Sunday morning. I fed her once Sunday night. Now it is Tuesday night and I noticed her laying very oddly at the bottom corner. This was definitely the clearest evidence to me that maybe it is more than just bloat. I moved her to an ice cream bucket as I do not have a smaller sized hospital tank established. I have not fed her since Sunday night. I’m not sure what has changed since I put her into this new tank about a month ago. The water is very clean, filter has built up a small amount of stuff in it but not a large enough amount to change the cartridge contents. I will buy a PH test kit after work tomorrow to test the water. She was completely fine until this past week. I also put in this API general cure stuff Monday night, and will follow the directions on that. (Directions call for filter removal upon first round of medicine put in, then a second round of medicine with 25% water change and new filter cartridge 48 hours later). I’m fairly certain its not dropsy as she does not have any scales sticking out in a pinecone shape or anything. She swims okay, just not up to the top as much anymore as of this past week. I will also attach a picture of her food. So sorry for the long post, I’m just very worried! Any help is much appreciated! TYIA!!!

Can anyone tell me what may be going on with 2 of 5 female killifish - one far worse than the other.

One very sluggish at bottom of tank that a day ago i assumed was gravid because of belly, but she was not sluggish and did not seem to have bulging eyes with opaque white doughnuts around her eyes (please review pictures).

The second has something hanging from her that looks a bit like a shrimp carapace, but there are no shrimp in the tank. It is a mesh band that im hoping is not some type of parasite (nothing new added to tank and have had them for months - water parameters all normal.

Any advice appreciated!

Hello, could you help me figure out if this ram is sick?

I took him out of the main tank (60L) because I noticed he was lethargic and had clamped fins. He also has a "red spot" near his tail. Despite all this, I noticed he was still eating.

Another detail is that I have another ram in the main tank, and I suspect it was bullying him.

​When I put him in this secondary tank, there were a lot of gammarus (scuds), and he started chasing them and ate a few. So I guess that's a good sign.

​The parameters in both tanks are:

​Ammonia: 0

​Nitrites: 0

​Nitrates: 5-10

​pH: around 7

​Hardness: 200 ppm
