Also, to add onto this, when she tries to swim with her back fin, she almost vibrates a little and then gives up? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Suddenly yesterday my fish has not been using her back fin. She is breathing heavily and she is very unbalanced. She only used her front fins to swim and when she does its very rare. Im wondering what I should do? She did come out to eat this morning. I have a 38-40 gallon tank with four fish...

Her red patches are completely gone today and shes very happy! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Theres only two red dots that ive seen so far on her, and theyre really tiny, nothing like the red patch. I do have a place I could get my water tested which I'll probably be going there soon. With that patch she has been doing completely fine, eating normally and swimming around fine. I think...

Also, since I cleaned the tank she has relaxed more and is swimming around. She has been eating normally as well, no signs of sickness apart from the red patch. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

The tank size is about 45-50 gallons. I have four fish in total in that tank, two are the size of the one pictured above and the other two are babies. I used to change the water weekly but I have been changing it twice a week, and just today I took them out and did a full clean. I had the two...

My oranda goldfish has this huge red patch, and tiny red dots all around her body. She also has what looks like salt on her mouth. I just cleaned the tank and she's now breathing heavily and sitting on the bottom of the tank. What should I do? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

When I went to the pet store a few days ago, the lady gave me a tap water de-chlorinator that didnt have stress coat. They we're losing their slime coat since i shocked the water. I put in some stress coat and ph up since ph was low. This morning they both seem a lot better and are finally...

Update: this morning my fish is worse, he has white spots all over him. Both of my fish are struggling to breathe. I'm bringing my fish to petco to let then be looked at Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I cant test the parameters right now since i don't have a test kit. The last time i checked it a few days ago everything was fine except it was a little hard. I'm pretty sure i washed the filter before i put it in. If i didnt, what could happen? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My black moor fish has this weird dead skin looking type thing coming out if his gills. Earlier today i got a brand new filter and the water turned black. The guy said it was normal, just chemicals interacting. My fish we're a bit scared, but seem okay now. I need help ASAP. I have a 40 gallon...

Your betta is beautiful!(:

If your betta is female, you could put a few other female bettas in there(:

Okay, thank you(:

My betta fish is starting to develop red spots? Before: Now: Is this normal or should I be concerned?

I see(: i've seen the red before I just wasn't so sure about the other color and wanted to check(: thank you.

Sooo.. The bottom of my algae eater is a bit pink/purple? I don't know if this is normal?

Molly fish can be a complicated first fish. I've had many balloon mollies and mollies which are tough. They're not very hardy and will die easily /:

I've thought about that too, but I thought it might be worth a shot.

The red gills and at the top fish could be lack of air. I suggest buying a bubbler, since you have a big tank now. Bubblers are actually very important, since the water does need to be oxygenated.(:

Pellets are actually not too good for the bettas, since they expand in their stomachs. I gave my bettas blood worms, brine shrimp, pellets, and flakes. My bettas love the flakes the best(:

Theres something called a betta falls, it's very pretty. Im not sure how many gallons it is, but I've seen it at PetCo. You can house 3 bettas and it's very pretty, looking almost like a waterfall(:

Try moving the algae wafer into a spot where only the algae eater can get it. I've had problems with this before. (:

It is okay to take your fish out of the water, but try and leave half of the fish in the water so it can breathe. Be VERY gentle when you do so. My black moor loves to move around my gravel, and has gotten a piece of gravel stuck in his mouth before. If you are worried about it, you could...

You could try getting MelaFix for your black moor, which rapidly repairs wounds. Other than that, I agree with jlk, change your water daily with at least 30%, and you should be okay(:
