Thank you! I left the Levamisole in my main tank for three and a half days and finally all of the worms are now gone, but I'm not sure if I will use that method again. While all 20+ of my fish in my tropical tank survived through treatment and were totally fine, the goldfish tank that I also...

He's just in a small container, maybe half a gallon, until I figure out where to put him. I do have buckets (about three gallons) and an empty five gallon tank, but I have no idea where he would recover best. The water level is about three inches high and he seems to be doing better with it...

Today the divider in my ten gallon betta tank somehow got slanted and one male betta managed to squeeze into the others side. When I got home, one of them was already very injured. His fins are shredded, he has a lump (bite mark?) on his spine, and his lips are very swollen. I've fixed the...

I discovered some of my fish had Callamanus worms, so after research I ordered Levamisole in Vermisol pigeon dewormer powder. I began this treatment about 24 hours ago. I gave my 36 gallon tank 5 grams to get the correct dosage recommended by some sites, turned off the lights, removed carbon...

One of my male mollies has suddenly become extremely aggressive. He was terrorizing all fish in my 36g community tank, chasing them and biting them... I decided to move him to my goldfish tank (that is about 75 degrees because my apartment is so hot) just to see how he would do, and he bit...

Fish has now died... :( any ideas as to what it could have been?

Hi! I had a few platies die about a month ago, and then a male swordtail developed a big orange tumor on his side and died. After that, all of my fish seemed fine (20+) for a month, though I did have a few fry die off unexpectedly last week. I had treated my fish for internal parasites because...

The swordtail did die today :( Looking closer at his body, the tumor bump became like a huge open hole in his body once he was dead. Im not sure if thats normal, but I began the parasite treatment. Should I also give them anti-bacterial medication sometime? Thank you!

I have little apple snails and little cone snails in the gravel, but there are tons of them. I'll try to take out as many as I can. Should I also try taking out the pleco since he is scaleless? Thanks! I'll start treating the tank tonight. I don't see the swordtail with the tumor, I am pretty...

Would API General Cure be safe for young fry? I haven't done salt baths only because I'm assuming most of the fish are infected and I would have to do all 25 or so. Should I just add extra salt to the entire tank instead? I would take the fry out to treat the adult fish but they are flashing now...

I don't mean to pester anyone but today the tumorish bump is even bigger/more red. I'm not sure he will be able to recover, he has stopped eating.

No, I just noticed the growth when I got home today... it has definitely never been there before today. It literally sticks out from the side of his body.

More, his normal side and his infected side

Here are some blurry pictures

Fish Suddenly Dying + Tumor on Swordtail Hello, I noticed last week one of my fish was acting lethargic/laying on the bottom of his tank and breathing rapidly. I put him in my quarantine tank and it died overnight, but all other fish appeared healthy. Two days ago another of my male platies...
