thanks everyone for the info. I have cured the fin rot and she's doing great and has lived to tell her story.

Im using a liquid kit and I test about 3 times a wk. When I rescued them they were all 5 kept in a 40 g tank and it was filthy when I showed up to take them home, but I am unsure if they were just neglected their last mth there or if it was an ongoing thing. They all seem to be having a blast...

I rescued five three yr old goldfish that are about 4 inches long about 1 1/2 - 2 mths ago and put them in a 55g unestablished tank. I watched the water parameters very closely and the tank has been doing great. I added 2 black moors about 3 wks ago and still everything great until 1 wk ago. I...

That tank looks great already. I can't wait to see it once you have fishies in it.

So I've had my tank since mid Nov 08' and I've had ich, hole in the head, fin rot, and now pop eye. I went to 2 different petstores and both said completely different stuff. One suggested Melafix and the other said Aquarium Salt. I decided to try the Melafix and am wondering if I should also...

Update: She passed on and would have had 18 babies but I wasn't able to save them. However, got home tonite and my other preg guppy has 10 healthy little babies. Thanks guys for all the advice..Im catching on to all this stuff pretty quickly.

K just got home from work and she's critical yet stable (some trauma lingo). By looking at her (see pic below) i think she has fin rot so I treated the whole tank with API Fungal medicine (says for fin rot on the box). All other fish appear normal. Ph is about 6.6 - 6.8 and temp is 77...

I came home from work to find my pregnant guppy not doing very good. Her back is arched downward and her back also seems to have lost its colours. Also her tail fin isn't as healthy as normal. Suggestions are appreciated. I will be doing a 40% water change as soon as this post is done. I...

Thank you so much for the info. I have read alot of numerous articles on this forum that have helped alot. Also, I have an ammonia and ph tester thing that suctions to the side of the tank and I replace them every 6 wks. But as an added precautionary I take samples to get tested at the pet...

So I will try to make this short and sweet but there are alot of details you may need in order to give proper advice: I got a new 29g tank on Nov 17th and i filled it and left it for about 24 hrs before putting about 7-8 fish. One otto, 2 dwarf gouramis, 3 fancy guppies, 2 mollies. Within...
