Hello again my friends I have a batch of 6 weeks old guppy fries, three of them started to show an inflated belly about 1 week ago and it's getting bigger everyday. I'm concerned that this might be a disease or any other healthy issue. Did anyone have this problem with his fries? What should be...

It was solved by Hydrogen peroxide. Thank you very much for your help. Should I do a water change now? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Yeah i read that somewhere but didn't think it can happen after a while. Thank you for pointing to this. As always you are the best. I will try it tomorrow even though the fog is white. If it doesn't work then i have nothing to do but recycling the tank. Thank you so much. Sent from my Nexus 5...

Hello everyone I recently did a lot of water changes in my 30g tank due to fungal disease and I treated it with 2 doses of potassium permanganate with 24 hours interval. So when I returned home today I found the tank really foggy as if it has a bacterial bloom. I don't know if it's because of...

Thanks a lot I gave mine to a friend who has a bigger tank so I think he's having a better life. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Actually I'm the one who should thank you, all of you, you really are great and caring persons. I wish I'm done with this problem because I lost 6 precious swordtails through this crisis. But with your great help i hope i went through it. Thank you so much. I will keep you updated if everything...

Please i need some advice. This is all what I could get when I asked for potassium permanganate. I bought because it's violet just like PP and says that it's anti-fungi, but not precisely for columnaris. Is this the cure? Thank you so much Edit: i found that caliumper manganat is actually...

I began to see very tiny white spots on the last swordtail female. The are very small and look like they are hanging on the tail from the outside, but she seems fine physically. I added 1.5 teaspoon of salt for every 5 gallons about 2 days ago, maybe the salt is the reason or she is catching the...

Really thanks my friend, very useful. I've read your post and it's pretty the same symptoms and deaths, I already applied salt to the tank but I am very worried about the pleco. I will try to arrange some potassium permanganate if possible and I really could use some help by the dosage when I...

Hi all. I was advised to use salt due to an issue in my aquarium, but I've read somewhere that salt with pleco's is a bad combination. Is that right or i can use it safely? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I really thank you and yes this might be the case. I'm going to go with the salt solution since I can't get any of the medications mentioned in the article. I don't know how to thank you sir. You really are a kind person. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I really don't know what's happening, but they have been together for more than two years. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Unfortunately nobody takes this hobby seriously where i live. I am outside the US. I even struggle to find the fish themselves. Anyway i have the swordtails from a long time, they are all sisters and brothers and were bred by me. Maybe if they were born at the same day they must die at the same...

Sad to inform you that I lost the fifth fish. Still have one pregnant female and still no clue what's going on. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app
