I'm also going to get a new heater the thermometer says 79 but the water seemed cooler than normal.

No my intake isn't covered, I'll cut some nylons and cover it with that. When I first got him him his fins were a bit tattered and when they grew back they were wavy, so when you say curling to you mean actually curling? or more like shriveled? I think I know what you mean but I am also prone...

Sorry to hear about your fish. I hope it doesn't affect any of your other tanks.

This is the best I could get. It actually looks a little worse than it did this morning. I'm going to just go with lots of clean water as long as he is acting normal.

Water changes I can do, but how long should I give it before I try something else, if need be. I don't want to jump in a give medicine he doesn't need but I don't want to wait too long if he needs them either. I understand it's probably one of those just watch and see things and you need a pic...

No there's no black around the edges, some of the frayed looking ends are kind of white and fuzzy looking he is acting normal and eating fine. I changed and checked the water, ph-7.8, ammonia-0, nitrite-0, nitrate-between 20&40(a little more red than 20 not as dark as 40) but I think my heater...

I believe poor Felony (my male betta) has fin rot his fins are ragged looking and a little fuzzy on the ends if I had any idea where my camera was I would take a picture. I have never had to deal with fin rot before and I just noticed it a few minutes ago. I usually check my water (API liquid...

Well they won't hold still for me to measure and I suck at guestimating but the JD is maybe 5 1/2" about as long as my hand he's close to 2 yrs. old my clown loach is just about 2'' not big at all. And as far as the oscar goes he has a home waiting for him but Mr. Pleco finding him a home is...

I have read that clown loaches can get up to 16" but they take a long time to get there. Personally I have never seen one bigger than 4". I am probally over reacting I have just had so many visions of my tank hitting the ground...freaks me out a little.

Yes I still have the oscar and the loach both are still small and the oscar has a home to go to in a few months but the loach bums me out I've really gotten to like him he's a hoot. Oh lord my poor fish....

The last few weeks have been some what bitter sweet for me, we have brought my father in law home from the hospital..finally.. but in the process I had to clean out the extra room which is where I kept all my extra fish stuff (and I had a lot of it..lol) and I had to tear down my 75 gallon...

Sorry to hear about your loss, it really sucks to loose a fish especially when you work so hard to prevent such a thing. Your future fish will benefit from this experience though your far more aware of the signs of danger and you'll be surprised at how more confident you feel about treating and...

Tank looks great! Awesome fish! I think you got this under control so don't fret too much and enjoy your fishies!....both of you..lol
