I'm glad to hear you are having success in treating your fish. I started my battle with camallanus ... gosh... in April? I had a really hard time finding the proper medication for it, and once I did, I wasn't sure how reliable it was. I haven't seen any worms hanging out of my fish (the ones...

No scales sticking out or thickening. I read about dropsy just recently and wondered if that might be it, but many of the symptoms of dropsy sound similar to other issues (such as constipation, tumors, other infections), the only symptom that sounds maybe exclusive to dropsy is the flared...

Are you willing to ship? How much for the plants? (I have no interest in the snails, I have plenty of those.) Thanks!

Can you share your tank parameters? I'm not familiar with gbr, but is there a possibility she's constipated? To my knowledge not eating is a very poor sign. I've never heard of force feeding a fish before? How is that done? I hope your fish gets better soon! :)

I'm sorry to hear your battle did not end as hoped. I, too, give you props for trying so hard. They say often by the time you see behavioral changes in the fish, they are so far infected that there is probably no saving them, so they were probably done for before you even got them home. A few...

I have a red glo danio who has a distended abdomen/vent area with a dark center/protrusion (see pictures). None of my other fish have this, it doesn't seem to affect the fish's behavior at this point. I've tried feeding extra fiber/vegetation to help promote bowel movements in case it was...

This is really neat!! I like it!

Just wanted to say that it's neat to see how far your tank has come! I'm currently just trying to figure out a good system to keep my fish healthy and alive >.<; Maybe one day once I become more proficient I can tinker more with actually designing it to look unique/neat. Good job! :thumb:

What size tank do you have, what kind of fish do you have, what kind of fish did you add? You mention "my level are again normal" were they ever not normal? The first thing I'm thinking is either the fish were not compatible with each other (one attacked another?) or the fish got stressed with...

I'm glad you have had a better experience than I. I just don't understand how a company dispensing a medication will refuse to tell their consumers the dosage. I wouldn't take a pill that I didn't know the dosage of, why should I use something like this on my pets? The only reason I gave...

I wanted to share my experience here with my fellow aquatic hobbyists. I purchased medicated flake food from Angels Plus (Angelfish) hoping it would help with my fish problem. I was disturbed when I received the product and discovered the concentration or dosage of the medication is not listed...

Well there we go! Learn something new everyday!

Oh noes!! I'm so sorry to hear this :( :nono:

The first thing I thought when you mentioned reddened gills might be camallanus worms, because sometimes this infection will present itself through redness in the gills. However I'm told camallanus only affects live bearers (not sure if that's accurate or not) and a danio is apparently not a...
