I’ve been having really bad luck with my fish lately. it started in the summer when i went away and my fish got ick. then one guppy became lethargic and got a bent spine. since then all my fish became lethargic, got bent spines, and died. i had 7 neon tetras and 3 guppies in one 20gal tank, and...

I have a 20gal tank with 2 guppies, 1 rummy nose tetra (i have to get more the others died), and 4 neon tetras. I recently had a guppy that became sick and im assuming had TB because of its bent spine, lethargy, discoloration, loss of appetite, etc. I moved it to a hospital tank where it died...

I’ve had my elephant ear betta for about 2 months now. he’s always been kind of sluggish, but recently i’ve noticed he lays on the bottom for most of the day, and occasionally gets up to move to a new spot. His color also faded a lot, and his tail fin has become damaged. At first i assumed it...

it says something like " the request can not be completed. contact us to fix it" or something along those lines

no they don't look fuzzy. they look like ick, like how they protrude. but they're bigger and i'm still treat the tank for ick. i use the regular water conditioner from api. it's been working fine

I have a 20 gal tank i recently treated/ am still treating for ick. i put 1 teaspoon of salt per gal at 86° for 2 weeks. i changed about 5 gal every day. i started slowing the treatment about last week, and started doing water changes every other day/ every 2 days. yesterday i noticed one of my...

false alarm. i just looked at the tank from a few feet away and they're all fine. forgot fish will be afraid of me at first. i'm the worst [emoji849][emoji849]

yes. i have filter media from a 20 gal tank that's been running for a few months. it has 2 guppies and 6 neon tetras in it

I got new fish today and they are in a quarantine tank. usually when i get fish they're more active then these. i have 6 rummy nose tetras and 2 make guppies. they are all just laying at the bottom and treading water. is there something wrong? i have furan-2, general cure, and salt in the tank...

oh i get it. i just got the furan 2. i guess all i can do now is see if it works

ok ill look into it. what are your thoughts on melafix for this situation?

ok so if it is a bacterial infection, how should i treat it?

I was just cleaning one of my tanks when i found what looks like a live bloodworm. i've never feed my fish live bloodworms... i feed them freeze dried ones the other day but this one is moving. i am beyond confused.

Ok. thank you so much for helping with this. i've been really worried bc i can't seem to put my finger on what the problem is. He has no spine curvature which i read is a usual symptom of tb, but he has the other symptoms like fin rot, clamped fins, and discoloration (all right after an ick...

i put in one teaspoon of salt per gallon, and in the original tank the temp was 86. in quarantine he's at about 75. and for the yellow i'm really not sure. it was like a yellow line on the part of his body where it's white. maybe a bruise? you can see it in the picture

i've just been treating with aquarium salt. but i've been researching a lot and i think he has wasting disease or fish tb. i put him in a separate tank with salt and general cure. i hope it helps. im not exactly sure what to do

update: he doesn't have dropsy because he's not bloated and only his top scales are protruding. any ideas of what it can be then?

I have a 20 gal tank that I am treating for ick. All the fish are fine, but one guppy had it really bad. the white spots popped off about 2 days ago, but he's still been hiding behind plants and wood. he's very discolored and his side has turned slightly yellow. it also looks like the scales on...

i have a 20gal planted tank with ick right now. i've been treating it for about a week. i'm setting up another planted tank (10gal) and i want to add some plants from my 20 gal into the 10 gal. will the plants transfer the ick? i most likely will wait to transfer them for another 2 weeks but i...

I have a 20 gal community tank with (originally) 7 neon tetras and 5 guppies. The tank got ick and 2 guppies and 1 neon tetra died. out of the 3 guppies left, 2 look really good and are swimming around like normal, but one had white spots for a while and was very discolored, but today he started...

Ill keep searching. I don't think the snails could have eaten him that fast it's only been a day but that's the only thing that's sounds reasonable. i hope hes still alive :/

i have a 20 gal tank that (had) 5 fancy guppies and 7 neon tetras and a bunch of bladder snails (pests). the tank got ick and one of the guppies is dead and now i can't find another one. i checked all the plants, i lifted up the wood and checked all over it, i have a sponge on my filter intake...

ammonia: 0 nitrite: 0 nitrate: >5

the ph test was wrong and the ph is fine. any other ideas? there's some slight fin and tail movement every once and a while. he's over an air stone right now to get more oxygen. i just cant pinpoint anything that could have went wrong

UPDATE: pH is 6.2, usually it's 7.2. what do i do???? there was a sudden change please help me
