That looks like ich to me, not fin rot. The white spots on the fins are what all my fish with ich have shown first. They fold them down. Some ate, some didn't. I also had people here tell me that my goldfish had burns on his fins due to my really low ammonia levels, but he actually was just...

Please, does anyone have advice--fish is dying and nothing has worked. I fear that adding paraguard may kill off the healthy fish like last time I used it.

Yes, obviously the carbon was removed, although for metroplex, Seachem said I didn't need to. I did remove it with the Paraguard last time and nothing worked--fish died, even healthy appearing fish. So, do I dose it again with paraguard and hope the goldfish and healthy cory do not die? The fish...

I posted in another area yesterday, no responses. We have one or two fish with ich. I've only had ich once before and the fish had it for three weeks before dying(that fish had something else wrong before the ich). I tried Metroplex and Paraguard last time. After dose 2 of Paraguard, the fish...

So, we have the aquarium from hell. it's been a year of non-stop problems, then we fix something and we get more problems. Two main questions: what is the most effective but least harmful Ich medicine? We never even get bad cases and they don't live. Metroplex did nothing. Paraguard did...

So didnt get any response and just went to store and bought yet another useless piece of garbage. I bought metroplex which he said would be safe for all fish and snails. It's practically empty. Is the container supposed to only be 1/10 full? It's 30 minutes to any fish store. So, used a gram...

I've posted multiple times but no one has ever answered a question I've asked without simply asking more questions, then I answer those and still receive no answer. Fish is dying slowly and I see something curable, please help. Simple question: Is this ich on my minnow and what medicine do I...

Delapool--younever suggested a buffer, you suggested a brand. Seachem makes buffers, none of them can be used with high phosphates or Phosguard. Maybe you said it later and I missed it, my computer hates this forum and it jumps while I read. Again, I was only using neutral regulator because...

OK--still not the problem that people are seeing. I do not know how to make this clearer. All my fish are dying. everything but Nitrate and Phosphate are normal. Nitrate is highest ever at 4-8, this could be the frequent water changes or the dying plants. I was using neutral regulator as my...

Hi, I've posted before, but got a ton of mixed advice with no one really reading my entire problem. (Please read bold items--I am desperate for the answers to these questions). So, i believe I've solved the problem on my own, but at the same time have no solution. My 20gallon tank has been...

Well. none of that really helped. I have gone to aquarium pros and they don't get it. The stores are quite a bit more helpful than forums as they haven't even tried selling me anything. I stick to local stores who benefit from me having a healthy aquarium. Sorry, but not one person online has...

Fish is dead. Died while I was looking up how to euthanize her. Almost all plants are now dead, so glad I waited for them to come back around. (technically newest plant is still alive but looks sick and one other is still fighting, but all covered in black). I removed the Phosguard. The "grass"...

I'm not sure at all what the last post meant. Yes, I moved the tank 4 months ago as the brown spots first appeared in areas that sunlight hit. And? It did nothing, they already established. It was clear to me that the sunlight caused the spots. I had a beautiful clear tank with healthy plants...

Thanks for answering: OK--So the fish is now worse, she lies on her side at the bottom, struggling to get to the top to eat? Again, I've been waiting out aquarium problems since June. So, yes I believe diatoms are what he said. They originally only affected the glass/rocks. Then, I noticed a...

I'm hesitant to post on here due to earlier posts in other forums where no one actually read what I posted and screamed at me for paragraphs on end for keeping fish in a bowl, but here goes: The problem Now: I have 7 fish in a 20 gallon tank, 1 of my 3 White Cloud Minnows has started listing...
