He's developed a cotton wool like growth over the head wound. Have seperated from others and placed in clean (100%) water. Have added the only treatment we currently have in which is the "interpet fungus & finrot" which is phenoxyethanol 40000mg/100ml

Thank you

Here is a pic

My biggest and stupidest rainbowfish has outgrown a rock arch in the tank and got stuck in it. By the time id released him hed managed to do himself some nasty injuries, having lost a lot scales from the dorsal aspect of his head and a nasty looking abrasion just in front of the dorsal fin...

Personally I would euthanise this fish. It had fin rot but will soon become septic now the infection has destroyed the tail and got into larger vessels, looks like also secondary fungal infection

Clowns are fab but picky eaters... Mine turn their nose up usually to anything except live flies ... Although known to take flake on occasion. I found them the most difficult to acclimate as well

That sounds worth a go will have a look in B&Q :)

Hoping to hide all the gear at the back with plants but they certainly seemed to spread out and bulk up rather than getting taller so far. Although I know the lower light is why it's slow growing (including no algae issues so far, touch wood). Should have added a BAckground when we first set...

Just an update :) Split some plants as advised :)

Zoom in on the pics... I see pineconing early stages in all. When fish get dropsy they are ok at first, then become sluggish (eg rest on bottom or in favourite spot unless feeding time or being chased) then develop swim bladder, then die. I've never saved one that pineconed and now if they get...

As you can see it's grown a buddy, I'm guessing it is nutrient deficient as I've been under dosing through negligence rather than intent. Other than sorting out the nutrients situation, should I do anything else (eg chop off buddy from main plant and then replant it in substrate)?

...treating with meds what needed plenty of good clean water and vice versa when I first started in teens

A good investment for the future would be a liquid test kit - my LFS tested my water and said it was ok to start adding fish - it actually had a trace of ammonia and nitrite and nitrates 0 (ie not cycled) so I'm glad I doubled checked! Flashing against stuff means they're itchy - either the...

I struggled to get my rocket panchax to eat despite them apparently not being wild caught. If I drop finely crumbled flake in slowly sometimes they will go for it (they are surface feeders and usually strike at small insects landing on the water like river trout :D) but usually i have to feed...

Ps most decent LFS will accommodate trades / store credit for fish. Especially if yours are healthy and are being rehomed as prophylaxis :-D. Everyone lives responsible fish mums and dads :-D

Mate cories are nutters. Sitback and enjoy their crazy antics

Anna. Looking at your first threads it sounds like you want a teeming colourful tank full of bright neony colours and activity. Have you thought about smaller even nano fish? They don't have to go in a 5 gallon nano they can be showstopping in large schools in a bigger tank. I've got 12 clown...

Check inside filter!

He might die, cories can poison themselves in shipping. He might be ok if he is big enough. What species of corycat have you got? Some aren't really poisonous, others are. Also how big the tank? I'd do a water change to be safe as they often secrete the poison as a mucus.

I have to apologize for skim reading your original post, I have no experience with silver moonies... But often certain principles are universal Sent from my LG-K350 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Eek! Well done on the rescue!!!

Sometimes one angel just has an attitude problem. You could try taking her out and reintroducing her and planting some more established taller plants for them... But sometimes certain fish are just antisocial and need to go back to LFS

What a cutie

From recent experience it is normal for new pieces and goes away by itself. My shrimp ate it. It goes away quicker if you remove and scrub the DW at weekly water change.

Sorry just seen all other posts my phone wasnt displaying at first
