The fish is looking much better today! Swimming upright and the bump is smaller. I can’t believe this!

Oh wow thanks ok I put it in a little quarantine square inside to keep it safe. It’s struggling! Sigh tbd. I like the Aqua Natural river sand, so I’ll start the change this week.

Thank you, do you mean you use those food safety sheets for changing my gravel to sand? How many inches of sand for a 10g? I can get those today and start on it. I think it will be too big of a chance to take to remove it all at once and hang on the back. I can do 1/4 of my tank every 3 weeks...

I was JUST wondering how to switch my gravel over to sand… I have 3” of gravel should I take out 1.5” then add 1.5” sand?

Thank you! My LAS said they think it’s a rock too. I’ll add sand…

Help! I have 3 Amazonian puffers and one is resting on the bottom of the tank today and won’t eat. There’s nothing else in the tank with them. They eat ramshorns and pellets. Belly looks wierdly shaped. It seems a little wobbly. What should I do? Update: it ate bloodworms I put in front of it

3 mystery, 1 ramshorn

Should I take the snails out with the salt?!

I’ve been cleaning it a lot lately, vacuuming and cleaning the filter in tank water. I have not cleaned the glass well or added salt lately so will add that to my list. Thank you!

Also, when it tries swimming again it can't get it's balance back. It swims all wobbly and loopy and spinning, like it's sick :(

Hi all! I’ve had 10 baby panda cories since July. Recently I noticed one of them doing spinning and flipping that seems like it’s out of control of its body, it lasts 10 seconds or so and then it flops down breathing heavy and almost passed out. Is this a seizure? I think fish can have those...

Ya I’ve been doing small biomedia, water, substrate cleanings. Does anyone think I should preemptively treat the whole tank with Metronidazole, Kavaplex, epsom or aquarium salt outside of this??? Trying to get ahead of more issues for Butters :/

Thanks I am working on cleaning up the filter and substrate for sure… good advice. Crossing my fingers it passes and no new fish for me!

Thanks for the information but I myself have not gotten sick. I am just wondering what the best treatment would be the next time I see a fish with the same symptoms. Metronidazole? Kavaplex? Epsom? Do angelfish get fish TB? I’m not sure how to start all the way over on this tank (with...
