I will look into euthanizing the fish (I havnt done it before) from what you said about the tissue damage it's just cruel for the fish long term regardless if I get rid of the problem. Thank you all for your help and advice, I'm going to have a busy day ahead sorting the tank out but it's nice...

How transferable is it to the other fish? I'll have to go to the pet shop And find a medication, The tank is double filtered (canister and over the top) will I need to clean or change any of the filter media? I havnt had a chance to read the article yet but I will in daylight hours, I havnt had...

Should I treat whole tank and what would you recommend for treatment? I'm so worried now, but really appreciate your advice

I can put more photos up if needed, I put some tonic salt in the tank as a precaution as I'm really not sure where to go with treatments

Hi I noticed yesterday one of my sword tails mouth area looks almost rotted, I have it in a breeder tank at the moment as it looked like it was struggling alittle to swim and I wanted to keep an eye on it. Could anyone give me advice in what it is and what I should do, I'll post some photos

TMaier I made the mistake of starting to read your puff thread while on my break at work, your tank is amazing. The first puff I had im pretty sure was a green spot, I was very sad to see it go and I assumed it was due to no salt in the tank after further research and realised that was the odd...

Hi I purchased 4 fresh water puffers after reading up about them and talking to a lot of sources and decided I would give it a go. One died 2 days after I got them, and I just put it down to the fish, the others where all doing ok for about a month but I was struggling to get them to eat...

Yay so glad it's working out for you! Keep me posted please

Thought that would be the case! Hopefully they will take the gobies back then I don't like having them in the floating breeder tank but I didn't want them to end up as a snack to the kissing gourami and probably the angel if I tried them in the other tank, it's also a much bigger tank so would...

But tank at that point was a 70l but now all residents have been moved to a 90l tank

Hi toad I forgot I made this post, you commented on my betta and tank mates post just before, I figured out it was th gobies in the tank and you confirmed it by your comment! Thank you all

Thanks toad, I can't move the guppy out of that tank unfortunately as they would get eaten in the big tank :( I have moved the goby into a floating breeder tank just for the time being as the guppy tails where getting so bad and the goby wouldn't fear well in the big tank either. Iv been doing...

Rasboras are one of the fish I wanted to have in the tank provided I can find some! where I live there's only 2 shops that sell fish and they don't seem to like getting any in if you ask especially betta, so once i have an established tank i have to travel 2 hours just to get the betta and...

Oh perfect thanks Angellove :))

Also off topic slightly but just had a brain wave and don't want to make a ton of posts, in my other tank I have recently purchased 4 bumble bee goby, i also have male guppy in that tank, do gobys nip fins as I'm starting to have issues and can't pin point the problem fish but hadn't considered...

Yay this gives me hope! I have had a few people tell me I'm awful for even wanting to put a betta with other fish and also been told a tank that size is way to big for a betta which i know is lies. i was just thinking a few groups of schooling fish and maybe some female guppies or something of a...

Hi all I have rehomed my goldfish to a pond and switched all my tanks around to allow more room for the inhabitants and I now have an empty 70liter tank which I would like to put a male betta in, I know tank mates arnt always the best idea for them but I'm going to or should I say really really...

This would make sense I don't think it could be anything else in this tank but the guppies and neons are the only fish in that tank I wouldn't be able to put in my other tanks due to what i have on them which is frustrating! Thanks for your help tho, I couldn't find much about neons being...

Thank you For that, makes me feel a bit better! In regards to my neon tetras are they nippy fish? I see them kind of Chase each other but never really the other fish?

Hi all I feel like I have been posting to frequently since I joined but I noticed yesterday that my guppies tails where all nipped and torn, it's definitely not fin rot it h9nestly looks as tho someone went on a rampage over night. I assumed I had solved the problem by moving my molly and platy...

Sorry 70l = 20gallons (i think) just me trying to convert, I know liters but everything i read is in gallons. i got concussion yesterday at work so I'm a bit foggy today my bad! And thanks for that, fingers crossed!

And yes that is the med I'm using, the lady I talked to didn't really seem to know a lot about other treatments and only stocked that one, its more of a cat/dog focused pet shop than anything else. the other fish specialist shop has funny hours and is closed till Wednesday so in a pinch I...

I have them in a 70 liter tank so about 20 gallons at the moment, I'v already upsized and got a bigger tank but the 150liter one isn't cycled yet. I'm glad I have had the outbreak before I trasfered them over. Also I have taken the carbon out but still have the sponge in the filter is that...

Awesome thanks all :)

Sorry if this is a dumb question, the more gravel vacs I do the better during the treatment period right? And if I do one everyday I just have to replace the amount of meds for what i have taken out dont i? Also I used very fine chopped garlic mixed with the fish food this morning when I got...
