The guppy didn't make it. Literally 48 hours. I attached a photo here. Anyone know what this is?

Hi there! Sorry, yes I meant filter pad. It's a 36 gallons tank. I don't believe there is anything sharp in my tank. His wound also has some white stringlike stuff hanging from it. It just showed up yesterday. If it is a physical abrasion, then I'm dumbfounded. I have a centerpiece rock...

Hi all, My husband noticed this wound on our male guppy today. I have moved him into a quarantine tank and treated it with melafix (that's all I have on hand) and salt to help it heal. Is this a bacterial disease? There has been no aggression in my tank that I have seen which makes me think...

My Cory actually died that same day, so it was really fast. All of my other fish look fine. I just want to make sure this doesn't happen again. It appeared to be a fuzzy-like mold coming off his mouth. Based on pictures, it seems like a fungas? But not sure. I just don't want this to happen to...

We only pump to get the water flowing, then we just let the gravity/suction go naturally. We drain it into a bucket on the floor and our tank is on a stand. What I tend to notice is that I will see debris go up the tub but will never make it all the way up to get suctioned out. It seems like...

We go in the substrate to get to the bottom and we scan the top.

Thank you all for your advice! Sorry for the delay. My guppy ended up passing away and I rehomed the aggressive guppy. Now I have 6 females and 1 male and they are doing great.

Hi everyone! I have a 36 gallon tank and bought a gravel cleaner. I got the Python Pro-Clean with the pump. I am finding that it doesn't pick up a lot of the debris. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there a better gravel cleaner I should buy? My substrate is eco complete. Thanks!

Photos Here are the best photos I could get.

Hello everyone. I have a julli Cory catfish that was fine this morning and all of a sudden has a white cloudlike film on his mouth and is really struggling. I'm not sure what to do. 1) Is this fungal or is it columnaris? Based on pictures I've seen it appears to be fungal but please help me...

Oh and my water is reading normal. No nitrates or nitrites. pH is about 7.2. No ammonia. Everything is reading good. I actually just checked again this evening.

Thank you so much for replying! I am new to this so I could be wrong and it may be fin rot. There's no discoloration and it's only effecting his tail. I have made a change today based on some more research I've done. I have gotten him a tank basket (not sure what it's called) but it's a net that...

Hello! I'm new to this site and to fish tanks in general. I've done a lot of research but I'm dealing with an issue that I can't seem to find an answer to. My husband and I originally were given a 6 gallon tank and we put 4 male guppies in it. We quickly realized this wasn't quite enough space...
