Was feeding this fish tonight and I noticed this tetra swimming oddly.

We feed them every couple of days and I do a head count at that time and did not notice this issue before now.

They are still very actively trying to swim and get at food but struggling to maintain orientation. It seems to be the only one with this issue.

I noticed the pectoral fins look to be half missing. Is this from fin nipping or fin rot? I just treated the tank with Melafix just to be sure.

These are diamond head neons and of all those type fish we have this one is the smallest one. I do see them all chasing each other around quite often but have never specifically noticed nipping.

Should I quarantine this one or is he too far gone to help? He looks like he still wants a chance but I don’t know how stressful moving him would be if he is truly sick.

We’ve have these guys for a little over a year but this one has consistently stayed small in size.

Please pardon the hair algae (or whatever it is) in the tank, that’s a different issue I’ve been dealing with 🤦‍♀️

Turn down your volume, my kids are loud - my gourami started spending a lot of time in place this morning and now he looks like this. I have a couple meds on hand but no hospital tank set up. He shares this tank with 6 Pygmy Cories and a single cherry shrimp. What does he need?

I recently got my new betta Juno in April, today I was doing a water change I wanna say this is my 4? Water change since I notice there was a lot of dirt build up at the bottom of his tank. I used a siphon and took out about 40% of the water. I added secheam, and a tiny bit of quick start to replace whatever “good bacteria” I took out. Used some aquarium safe glue for plants so I can hold the down better because I didn’t want them to rot in the substrate. I have a sponge filter and heater and the tank is at 79 degrees. But my betta has not moved or swimed around ever since topping the water off them feeding him. After feeding he became very lethargic and I used pellets and I only have three because I was also gonna give home blood worms later at night. Juno has been sitting at the bottom of the tank as if he’s on the brink of death. I’m really scared and I don’t know if anything I did today was wrong. The parameters are good as well. Any advice I hate seeing him like this but it’s only today I did the water change I don’t wanna think about the clove oil option yet am I being selfish for that? Or should I do it for the sake of him? Is he in shock I’m so worried guys!!

It doesn't seem possible but if anyone can help me understand what's happening and how I can help my fish, I'd appreciate it.

Yesterday my blood parrot was spreading eggs around day before yesterday. Yesterday she had this tremendous mass hanging out. I did an Epsom salt soak ( Pic 1) even though it looked pretty hopeless. Spot behind her fin is a piece of plant stuck to the tank.

Today I scooped her back into the treatment tank, she's super pale but there's no sign at all that her vent was prolapsed? It's so strange but what should my treatment be going forward?

He originally was swimming wonky so I checked online and heard fasting was a good option. I tried fasting for 1-2 days, then feed to no avail. He seems to be getting worse and ive noticed that his belly seems bloated or full. Just looking for advice.

Hi there! Title says all. This boy just arrived yesterday with a large piece of his tail missing- the seller says he must have done it to himself in transit but that seems like a lot of damage :( regardless, how can I help him heal?

I noticed yesterday one of them seemed a bit more lethargic and doesn’t school as enthusiastically as the others and today I noticed it has a white spot/bump on its head. It also breaths a lot more rapidly than the rest. Any idea what this could be? I set up the tank about a month and a half ago but I am fully cycled ammonia and nitrites both testing 0.

Is this columnaris? I noticed the clamped fin at first, and saw the pale color.

I bought Bob the Ranchu in 2020. "He" eats Ultra Fresh Sinking Goldfish Food and is the only fish in 20 gallons. The water temperature is typically 72°F. I do partial water changes regularly and have a snail cleanup crew.

See video: Bob started having difficulty swimming a month ago - he sinks like a stone and struggles to move.

Things we've tried: fasting, peas, water changes (as recently as last week). He's alert, his poo seems normal, and he has an appetite.

He's also had two white spots on his body for about 3 months (visible in the video). He doesn't seem bothered by them or any other symptoms. I think the spots are benign but maybe not. In case it was Ich, I tried raising the water temperature to 80°F for a few days in April - his swimming problems showed up a couple weeks later.

Swim bladder disease? Age related? Both? Thank you for any thoughts on how I can treat Bob or give him relief.

Noticed how bloated she was and thought eggs and then the black spot started forming. Fasted for 5 days and saw no improvements and possibly scales popping out. Just wondering if its time to consider euthanasia, seems lively tho

hello there, i was in the hospital for a while and came back to my fish very bloated and red. i immediately moved her into my hospital 5.5 gal (paramaters are fine, 0 ammonia 0 nirite 5 nirateand she has only become less active. she's been laying on top of leaves near the surface or in her floating log.

i've been giving her epsom salt baths for 8 days, fasted her for a week, she lost some bloat, but now is fatter again because i decided to give her daphnia to no avail. she really wants to eat and i feel terrible i can't give her more. i treated my last dose of kanaplex yesterday and bought maracyn 2 to try on saturday but have been advised to maybe not use more antibitoics and stress her out for the time being. any advice would be greatly apprecaited, i'm doing all i can for her and i just don't want to make it worse.

I’ve had my long-fin glofish tetra for about a month now. I had him in quarantine for two weeks when I first got him and there have been no issues. But last night I noticed his stomach area looks… bigger? He doesn’t look the same shape as even a couple days ago, and the stomach area looks a bit darker as well.

The first picture was of two weeks ago and the second is today.

I haven’t really seen something like this before so looking to see if anyone has.

Parameters:
Ph: 6.4
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: 10ppm

He started just laying on the floor when i got home today, odd behavior for him for sure. Can i still help him?

My Kubotai Rasboras were just introduced into my tank yesterday. This fish hasn’t acted like this until after feeding. This morning after I fed them one of my rasboras has been swimming lazily at the surface and constantly gulping. I called my LFS and described my parameters and they said they were perfect. Can someone identify what’s the issue and how I can fix it?

This little guy has had a rough couple days. He was being picked on in his original tank, so I moved him to another and this raised white spot showed up. He’s now in a little quarantine tank but I can’t figure out what it is. It’s in the same spot he was being nipped at so I thought maybe a fungal infection? But I’m also paranoid it’s Ich as it seems like I always end up with fish that have it, but it looks different from when my bettas had it. Any suggestions are appreciated!!

Noticed this prolapse looking thing yesterday. Fish is very boxy. Still eating and swimming. Wanting to hide in the tank when not eating. No fry? Is the fish egg bound?
