Ah My Friend ... The last fish that died had cottony-puffy stuff over both fins. Poor thing was hiding behind a rock. Took me awhile to find him. Looked like a fungus to me. Very cottony, puffy. When he was moving, it was to race around like crazy and then to settle back to hiding. You would...

Okay ... another fish (the last corie) had fungus all over it and died. Now I am left with just 3 fish! Maybe it's not ich, maybe it is ... I am ready to throw in the towel. I am keeping the heat up but all I really want to do is clean, clean, clean that tank out!!!!!!!!!! *sigh* My daughter...

Oh Boy ... It's been quite a week for me. The angel died :cry: . So sad since they are my FAVORITE fish and the corie died also. *sigh* I have elevated the temp slowly each day and I am currently at 86 degrees. Trying to get to 87 just to be safe. I've increased the aeration also. Now I am...

Back again ... and now I am wondering if I don't have Ich again! I have been watching the fish closely. The ones left in the main tank are going crazy today. Darting all over, swimming up and down the glass. The pleco (who is normally very sedate) is all over the place. 8O I am really now...

Thanks so much for the reply. I have stressed over this so much. The Angel that I QT'd actually seems to be breathing a lot better. I don't think that I have Ich. I survived that debacle last year using the heat treatment that I got from Allie on this site. The filter system I am using is a...

I am going to try and answer all these questions the best that I can. And I will probably be jumping around. But the main story is my fish are dying left and right for a few months now. Haven't added new fish in 7 months. Clean tank regularly and change filter. As in regulary, I mean weekly...

Well not sure what is going on with one of my female mollies ... she is very fat and sticking to the bottom. Mouth is constantly going as if trying to take in more water. Thought maybe PG but that doesn't seem to be the case. Not sure if she is constipated or not. Haven't really seen her poo...

We are going on a 11 day vacation and I am going out to get an automatic feeder but I have a few questions. When I put it on my tank (it's a hex tank) and with the way the top is set up I will have to leave it open to accommodate the feeder. I am worried some fish will jump ship while I'm gone...

Have you checked your parameters lately? I know that gouramis go to the surface because they are also able to "breathe".

Wish I could get a pic of my Tetra. Mango's description of guppy sounds just like mine except he hangs out at the bottom in the back of the tank but is active at feeding time. Finally was able to QT him last night.

He's back in the main tank and doing quite well. The Angels have been picking on him though. I did see him fight back this mornin so I think he's his old self. Now I have a tetra in the QT Tank. Not sure what is up with him. His gills are sticking out and red and belly is fat. I was FINALLY able...

I just lost 2 bumblebee gobies. :cry: The first within 2 weeks. The second after 2 months. I didn't read enough up on them. They need live food and I was feeding flake. The second one survived my nightmare of a cycling issue but died shortly afterwards though. Now that I am more educated on...

I got 3 mollies a while ago (1 male and 2 females). The 2 females beat the heck out of the male 8O I had to QT him for a while cuz they ate his tail! Poor guy was so stressed out. I put him back in with them after about a week and the seem to be doing okay now. His tail is even growing back...

Third treatment in today and he's a happy camper I think he misses all of his buddies. The spot is shriking. I am hoping that I can put him back in the main tank next week.
