Only other thing I can think of is to ask you if there had been any cleaning with furniture polish or other cleaners near or around the tank? Reason I ask is that I once had a 55gal tank and my mother dusted the furniture with polish and the next day we had lost all our fish...the polish got...

I bought a Koi angel fish this past Saturday. Within 3 days it was dead...it wouldn't eat and the other angel fish. a little larger, was chasing it. I had the fish in the bag in the tank for at least 20 minutes when I first brought it home and put a little of my tank water in the bag to help...

Sick Betta Update - He died Reply: The betta died tonight before I could euthanize him--I am sad. He seemed better when I hadn't medicated him yet but I'm sure whatever it was growing on and in him would have killed him without treatment--if it was a fungus I had not see it like that...

I sent a message a couple weeks ago about a betta that had a white growth on its side about the size of a pea. I moved him into 1 gal tank so I could medicate him away from the community tank he was in. He was active and eating then the white growth burst open (after medicating for several...

Sorry for late reply...been focusing on the betta issue. The marble angel is eating and she is not so bloated now...but guess what, she laid eggs the other day! She still looks bloated to me but if she is laying eggs I suspect that is a good sign?

Anne, thanks! I will do that--I have not heard of Maracyn II--would a LFS have the medicine?

I have a bloated female angel fish and I have seen other forums about this topic. I tried feeding her a blanched pea but she won't eat it. She was pregnant and laid eggs about a month ago but her stomach never went back down. Tonight she won't eat at all but if she is constipated maybe that's...

Update: See pictures below regarding this topic. I have a betta that has a white growth on its side near the base of his tail--it is about the size of a pea now--started as a small wound about 2 months ago. I had been medicating the tank with Melafix but the growth keeps getting...

Thanks for the feedback! They did come from RO and I was told to only acclimate them for 20 minutes but I did it for 30 - 35 minutes. Live and learn...unfortunately the beautiful fish died in the process. Sterbas are one of my favorite catfish. I have two other ones in my 37 gal that I have...

:?: I bought 3 Sterba Catfish from my LFS yesterday...this morning they were all dead. At the store they have them in RO water and seem to be doing fine. My tank is more on the hard water side but acclimated the new Sterba's a little over time by pouring water from tank into the bag before...

High Ammonia ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you and all the others for their advice. After doing the water changes and Bio Spira this week the ammonia level is finally at 0 ppm! I am very thankful this forum is available. Pam
