should i seperate him first then apply meds? and if yes, where would i put him if i dont have a hospital tank and for how long. the reason being that i have plants and shrimp and i dont want to add something that could harm them

Penguin tetra injured left fin badly and I'm unsure on what to do and how. I uploaded a pic to show what's wrong.

i did, there was a thin slime film so i didnt think it was a problem, is that usually the cause for vibration?

I have this fluval 305 filter thats in good working order and moves water like it should. Whats the issue is tho is that when its on it makes this weird vibrating noise and since the tank is next to my bed I'm wondering if anybody might know what issue the tank might have and how to fix it. If...

I have this unoccupied terrarium filled with coconut fiber substrate and i was wondering if i can use it for my 20 gal aquarium. It's previous use was for a substrate for my (now dead) scorpion and would that make it unusable? I don't have a specific role for it in mind so any use is use for me.

sorry on the typo, i meant to say 1.25 ppm, still doing water change tho in terms of cotton i guess so but the cory's more worm like, the tank has been thouroly established for a good year, never crashed

I have 3 fish with white stuff foring on their bodies, I cant figure out what they are but i know they could not be ich or something of the like> I have a 20 gal hooked up to a fluval 405 with water parameters near perfect; with 7.4 ph, 12.5 ammonia, 0 nitrites, and 0 nitrates. I have 1 gbr, 7...

I never considered the water quality to be the problem, I am awaiting a fluval 305 but i have been perfomming water changes less frequently. I'll get to it then :thanks:

The readings you posted are accurate, athough this was before a water change I had done recently. I wouldn't say they're brittle as they survived two ich outbreaks, but the possibility of beeing overbred is likely (i got them from petco)

My parameters are currently low in ammo and nitrite, nitrates a little higher but not of concern. The last fish I had introduced were three black phantoms and had to put down 2 after i found out they had severe popeye. I kept the tank dark for two weeks with salt and the traditional velvet meds...

Welcome, I find that a huge shoal of tetras look spectacular in a 4ft

Hi I've found this sight through the iphone app and I'm very confident that you could help a novice out. I have a 20gal tall from aqueon and it's currently housing tetras, has some plants and hoping to get the right tools to help my tank look like yours.

anyone?

after a treating for what i thought was velvet i restored the tank to it's normal self, but the fish still have a gold coloration/film that may resemble velvet. the fish in question i have are glow-light tetras and have been in my tank for some time. I'm not sure if this is a disease or a...
