my bristlenose pleco has one of bristles inside one of his nostrils what should i do?? should i try take it out or what because it could hurt him if it grows longer inside

the fry is about 1 month old now and as he’s just gotten bigger i noticed he has a strange bump under his mouth i don’t think it’s a parasite and he’s the only one who has this out of 50 or so cories i can monitor them all closely because they are split between several tanks he swims and eats...

i also have a very active pleco who loves to dig in the sand all night and it’s always messed up in a few hours even if i flatten it so will he possibly help in way too

will it be fine if i just stir up the sand with the vacuum while doing a daily vacuum it took a long time for the meds to get here as you can’t buy it in the uk so i don’t wanna use it and have it not kill them totally

i asked this question before but the person talking to me ignored my original question and didn’t help at all my cories have these worms and i have the medication to treat it but my substrate is sand and i seen these worms drop off i’ve never seen them bury into the sand but what i’m wondering...

i want to get a new filter as my current one doesn’t seem to be keeping up with even though it came with the tank what filter would anybody recommend for a 200l tank and nothing you can only buy in the US please as new brexit laws are stupid and i’d have to pay a lot of tax the filter can be...

it is these and people seem unsure of what they but they move around on the glass like worms when they detach but are too small to be anchor worms and don’t have the same shapes at all plus they also die with a de wormer medication

they’re so small you can barely see them on camera and my cories hardly stay still i don’t think they’re leeches though as they eat the cories not draw blood like they’re fins and tail and barbs slowly disappear in the spots they are in i’ll see if i can find a photo online

i’ve asked at pet stores and two things he said it could be it definitely was not which i get technically isn’t reliable since they probably don’t know a thing but still

they’re tiny worms only a few millimetres long and eat at the fishes fins and then the fish itself but it only affects cories as none of my other have gotten them at all only all the cories i have same with other people

that’s the thing nobody at all seems to know every forum post on the internet i can find has no clue what these are and only seem to occur in cories yet everybody has said the only thing that will kill them after trying tons of things in medications that have praziquantel in them which of course...

my cories have these worms that somehow are unknown and only seem to affect cories but that’s fine i know what to treat it with and it’s getting here soon i’m just wondering since these worms can drop of and move i’m wondering if the medicine will kill them if there’s any hiding in the sand or...

that’s normal in my experience i’ve had two plecos for years and they’ve both always done this mostly when the light is on

I’d suggest you get a bigger tank as they could be fighting and your algae eater will grow to large for the tank eventually also it could be that there’s a lot of poo in the gravel i have algae eaters and have to vacuum weekly too keep it clean

i have three tanks and one of them had a cycle crash due to medication which was no problem as i was moving the fish to a bigger tank and had a spare tank anyway now i’m trying to recycle the tank and have put the filter in an already cycled tank and i’m wondering how long it will take for the...

not brand new to fishkeeping but still got stuff to learn after 2 years of keeping fish i might be able to answer some of your questions i spend most of my time reading about fish these days lol

no i’m pretty sure they aren’t anchor worms as they are super super small i think it might be ich and her fins are fraying kinda as i saw a case of cory ich exactly like this with pictures and some of my fish are getting white spots now also they are flashing so almost 100% sure it’s ich

i thought at first it could be anchor worms cause they looked like worms but i don’t think they are anymore because anchor worms look larger and and seem to cause an open wound, i also found a case of a cory with ich that had these too, she is swimming around again and i have started seeing...

cory cat has little worm like things on her fins and gills and i need help finding out what it is so i can treat the tank i couldn’t find anything on what to get one of my other cories appears to have them on his barbels and they are slowly disappearing like they are eating them, please help me...

they are also all over her gills too please help me i don’t want her to die and don’t want it to spread

they’re all over all her fins and she’s not swimming anymore

my cories are getting sick and i don’t know what it is i posted previously about one of my cories barbels looking shredded but now it’s spreading to all of them and is affecting their fins too they look like tiny little worms hanging on and i think they are eating the one cories barbels somehow...

not sure about balloon mollies as i’ve only ever had normal ones but it could be that there’s not enough space for them to avoid each other or they could just be fighting for the females if there is any i’ve only ever kept one male molly among many females and even he was a little aggressive...

i was just about to mention this because looking closer (he finally stayed still) his middle two barbs look torn not like white fuzz like they have gone stringy, but my substrate is sand

he’s also eating and also mating totally normal i think i might just of panicked a bit too quickly he doesn’t actually look too bad but you never know so i’ll keep the post up the too outer barbels look fine one looks like it’s just growing back it’s the two middle ones that look worse and...
