How do you know it is culminaris? What do I need to do to treat? Also, better angle:

Hey guys. Woke up this morning to find this on my german blue ram. They always have had a random spot but I have never seen something like this. I have had them for about a month now and they eat just fine and love swimming around their 75 gal tank. Everyone is peaceful. Their tank mates are 4...

So I am finishing my second treatment of API fungus cure today and I noticed like in the last two days one of my barbs is showing injury to the base of its tail. Any idea what this is?

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I did actually take some good photos over the weekend with my DSLR that I took down to my LFS.

Thanks guys. I appreciate it. From what I have been told you don't want anything below a 7.0 for PH. Right now I have 7 tiger barbs and 4 black skirt Tetras that will be moving to the new tank. Even if it was 6.8 would they be okay? They have grown up in about 7.2-7.6 water

Sometimes my fish stay to the bottom if the light is too bright. Plus any new change to a tank may be unsettling to its inhabitants. What are the water readings?

Hey everyone! New to Aquarium Advice but been fishkeeping for almost 2 years. My wife and I are finally updating our 20gal to a 75gal... we are starting a planted tank and it has be cycling for 14 days. I went to take my water to be tested at a lfs and they used the quick test strips...said...
