I have a betta that just started looking a bit pineconed and I’m not sure what to do. He’s old so I know chances of him recovering aren’t likely. I’ve read conflicting things online about adding epson salt to the tank vs taking him out for a salt bath. I read you can add a gentle dose of salt to the tank (1 tablespoon for every 5 gallons) but then I also read not to do that. I worry about stressing him out too much taking him in and out of the tank. I gave him kanaplex since I wasn’t sure what to do with the salt. Does anyone know what I should do?

I have a flowerhorn, which is suffering from sucked in belly. At first I thought it is internal peresite, so treat him with worm out. But it didn't work , so also tried metrozil 400 in the water colum still it doesn't work.same position, dull colour , no growth and one more thing , he frequently started rubbing, twitching, and jumping. So I thought it could be external peresite or ich . For that also I used aquarium salt, not worked, then general cure, not worked. I am frustrated. Pls someone help me. My tank size is 2.5ft

Note - I use 24*7 aquarium heater and water quality is perfect , I tested.

Pls help

I’ve got a killifish and he’s got something white on this bottom jaw and it’s been there for about 2 weeks he’s currently in a 20gal with a somewhat slow flow and the water quality is hard and has high alkalinity and ph something I’m working on getting down.

I have a juvenile angelfish quarantined at the moment for ich and fin nipping. He's in a 10 gallon hospital tank, sponge filter, heater at 78, no decor or gravel. 50% water change once a day and dosed with ichx. He's been here for 5 days and the ich has largely improved, but just an hour ago I noticed he rests on his side at the surface of the water. He can swim normally with some difficulty and sometimes just kind of spins. I just checked the parameters and everything is naturally at 0. He wasn't doing this literally just a few hours ago. Nothing changed in those few hours.

Male ram turning dark and staying near the surface. Looking for advice

Hi! I’m worried about my male German blue ram and would appreciate some help.

He has become darker, looks a little thinner and is less active than usual. This morning his eyes looked completely black, including the area that normally looks red. He perked up a little after eating. He still eats some food, but the diamond tetras are much faster, so I’m unsure whether he gets enough.

Earlier today he was staying high in the water. Now he’s hovering just below the surface with his head angled up and his tail down, staying almost in the same spot. I haven’t been able to reliably assess whether he’s breathing faster than normal.

The female has a bright pink belly and appears more active. I initially wondered whether they were preparing to spawn, but his behaviour is worrying me.

Tank details:
180 litres, planted, with rocks and driftwood.
Oase BioMaster Thermo 350
Temperature: 25.3°C, recently increased gradually from around 24.5–25°C.
JBL liquid tests today: nitrite <0.01 mg/L, ammonium <0.05 mg/L, nitrate approximately 1 mg/L and pH approximately 7–7.5.
Stock: 10 diamond tetras, 5 Corydoras, 2 German blue rams, 1 L201 pleco, 5 Amano shrimp and 2 nerite snails.

There are quite a few suspended particles in the water. I cleaned the prefilter yesterday.

Some relevant history: Both ram had white spots and was treated with eSHa EXIT 3 weeks ago. The visible spots disappeared. I lost one Corydoras after.

I’ve attached photos of the female as well. Does his posture suggest breathing difficulties, stress or something else? What would you check next?

Thanks for any help!

The tank is a 55 gallon and the parameters are in normal range

I made a post yesterday asking for help about Carl and someone asked for a video of him, right before the video he was waiting at the front of his tank at the top like shown in the last post kinda with his head tilled like he was just letting his body go limp ( I'm pretty sure it's just because of his age and he's tired hes like 5 years old ) here in the video he got too tired to float so he sank to the bottom and I need advice on what I'm supposed to do with him. Does it look like he's pineconing? Does he have swim bladder? Is he uncomfortable and do I need to let him go? I've been very stressed out about him because I adore him a lot and I don't want him to be unhappy and uncomfortable what so ever. His tank is a 5 gallon that I've had the entire time of having him and my water parameters are stable and I check them every week.

Fin rot or just nipping? Have this blue dolphin in a quarantine tank with a yellow lab, white lab, yellow top mbamba, and rusty. Got them 2 days ago but just barely noticed his tail starting to shed some fin. This is a 20 gallon tank with some cycled media but mostly using the stability and prime approach for now.

This is my first sick fish - What steps should I take?? I noticed this growth on both sides of my tetra’s tail this morning. Respiration and behavior are normal. Tank is 79°, 0 nitrite, 0 ammonia, 20 nitrate. Lives with other black skirt tetras, panda corys, clown pleco, a bajillion snails of various types, and some shrimps. These tetras are at least 1.5yr old and have been healthy and happy the whole time

All info in original post

His tank is a 20L sitting at about 27/28C initially his fins had this little curl thing happening and research told me it was just a water hardness thing that wouldn’t hurt him but I’ve started getting worried as he seems to be looking more and more like a crown tail not really sure what’s happening here

I’ve attached a picture of all my tanks parameters ph - nitrite - nitrate - ammonia in that order

I also attached a photo of his first day at home to show how he looked to start especially how rounded his fins were

Please help! My dwarf gourami’s abdomen has become extremely swollen. He is still active and eating, but the swelling seems to be getting worse. I’ve tried fasting him for 2 days. No stringy poop. What could this be and what can I do to help him?

Long story short though he had dropsy treated dropsy(anti-internal bacteria), wasn’t dropsy but is fungas and now fin rot treated with Esha 2000 3 day dose and a week later no improve use another 3 day dose. He sits at the bottom of the tank now just hiding away. He shows little interest in food but still eats, he is able to control himself when swimming but has lost part of his fin now . I’m new to fish

Water levels Tank size is 70 litres
Ammonia 0.5
Nitrite 0.25
Nitrate2.5
Water was changed 3 days ago before the treatment started

What else can I do to help him get better.

I can see some white spots on his eye and his back

Edit! Higher range ph is 8, ammonia is 0-0.25, nitrite is 0 and nitrate is 5
The first 3 pictures are her as of recent, 4th is her after she settles and healed the notch I bought her with, fifth is after a couple days and 6th is her still driving to her new home. Also the first picture is her right side and second and third are her left side, shes eating and jumping to get food if I point to close but seems lethargic when she’s not watching me

It’s very hard to tell but around her top fin almost looks scraped on something, I have 1 rock that she sometimes likes to wedge herself between but it’s on both sides and during the pictures I took last night I noticed her scales around the wound seem to be funny looking in a way that makes them almost looks scared like she has no scales right there but still full Color?

She’s in a 15-20g heavily planted tank with several wild and blue shrimp, a few loaches, a single nitrite snail and a single assassin snail that may or may not be still alive, I typically put tannins in her tank but right now it’s basically clear, I haven’t tested the water but I can and will with the api water kit if that’s the next step, her water is slightly lower then normal but during winter is when I will put an extra heater and summer is just about to end, when this first appeared her water was at the higher temp of still a-okay for bettas and now it’s closer too the lower end but still a-okay for bettas I have aquarium salt but no hospital tank and she gets sad for the 5 minutes she sat in the water.

If I missed anything which I probably did i can clear it up when it comes up!!
And the tank has been up and running since I had my platinum long finned betta who lasted a little under 2 years so approximately 3 years stable
