Just added links in place of the pics. Try that and see if it works. I'm doing all of this on my phone and its proving to be difficult.

So over the past two weeks, I've been encountering one problem after another with my tank. First, one of my platy's seemed to contract a serious fungal infection over night. He had 3 big bulbous white orbs on the bottom of his belly. Unforunately, he died before I could get the meds. I decided...

A 10 gallon Marineland Aquaria filter. Its a 10 gallon tank. The small amount of ammonia is most likely my fault. I haven't quite found the sweet spot on how much to feed my fish yet. I feed them once a day, but I probably feed them a bit too much at once.

Oh, I also want to note that I tested the water last night. Ammonia is somewhere in the ballpark of 0.10 ppm (keep in mind, this was before I changed out more water). Nitrates were at 0. Nitrites were at 0. PH was the usual 7.6.

Update: Not good So I got in today and was going to give him some meds and I found him dead in the bottom :( But now I'm really concerned about the well-being of my other fish. Two days ago, he was fine. Then yesterday he had the white bulbs.... and today he's dead with what appears to be a...

Update, and its not good I'm afraid. He didn't make it. And I don't think it was a fungus, what could have done this? I have no idea what happened. He was fine two days ago, then yesterday he had the white bulbs, and today he looks like this. As you can see, it looks like a chunk is missing...

Thanks for the help. I just don't want to come off as someone who doesn't care for my fish. I try to take care of them the best I know how, considering this is my first tank. I've only lost one fish since I started (which I truly believe wasn't my fault). I had a tuxedo guppy (yep, single...

Maybe I don't understand the definition of cycling. Sorry, the tank has been cycled... I've had this aquarium up and running with fish for 6 months without issues until now. Anyway, I typically change out 20% every week, with a 50% change out monthly (when I change the filter and clean). I...

The tank is cycling like normal, I just did a 50% water change last week. The PH is high, but its always been that way. I've tried using PH Down on multiple occasions to no avail. I can tell this is really bothering the little guy. He's having trouble swimming and wants to stay hidden. Oh, one...

So I just got in from work and discovered my mickey platy has 3 bulbous white spots on his belly area. I have no idea what it is, I haven't even read about anything of this nature. If anyone has any ideas as to what this is, please let me know. I don't want the little guy to die, or possibly...
