I haven't added anything new to the tank in last 6-8 weeks. Some of my fish were flashing at one point of time or another, even a year ago. Another thing I noticed is that two Paradise fish, my latest addition that I bought 2 months ago, sometimes go to opposite corners of the tank and stay in...

I've noticed earlier that some of my Gouramis started to spend more time at the bottom of the tank. Now all Gouramis are spending most of the time hiding. Even Bolivian Ram, the oldest and healthiest fish in the tank, swims less and spends more time under leaves of banana plants. They do come...

The Shark is the most agressive one, but it never actually harmed other fish. And, even though it has chased my Pictus quite often, it never bothered Elephant Nose. Pearl Gourami was bitten also. Also, it is agression, not predatory behavior because all small fish are alive and ok.

It is just easier to assume that one fish got suddenly crazy then think that there is "mad fish" desease. I'm also pretty sure that those weren't multible bites. Elephant Nose got his first wound very deep with skin hanging off. Bites are not large, but very deep (flesh is exposed on Elephant...

I have 72g community tank with all fish listed in my signature. Here is damage done to my fish within last 2 days: Elephant Nose - one very deep bite and one a bit smaller one on its side (most likely, I will loose it) Pictus Cat - one very deep bite right behind gills (it does not look good...

I treated the fish for three days and then went for vacation. When I came back, the fish looked a little bit better. Though it still sat at the tank bottom sometimes, it swam more thatn before, and didn't have that string of poo anymore. However, it looks smaller than before, expecially...

Yesterday I started feeding my fish with Pepso Food, which is supposed to clear intestinal fish parasites. Directions say that I have to use if for three days and then return to normal food. I decided not to quarantine the sick fish because there is a chance that some other fish have the same...

My Black Molly don't look ok. It either sits on the bottom of the tank, which is very unusual for it, or swims in one spot moving very fast. It has been happening for last 2 days. Recently I've noticed that when it sits on the bottom, it's girlfriend (Lyretail Molly) sits at the bottom right...

One of my fish (Opaline Gourami) has often has long white string of poo, sometimes reaching 3 inches. The fish does not behave normally either. It is not as active and often jusl sits on gravel. I've read something about it a long time ago and understand that it is not something rare, but...

I've noticed that my Black Molly has a white spots on its body. I'm sure that this is not ICH. These spots are small and not cotton-like so I'm not sure whether it is fungus or not. Additionally, there are larter area (almost whole head) covered in something that looks like white slim or very...

Problem is rather in finding some space for it

Thank you, An t-iasg. I will try 2-3 water changes during a week and see what happens. If situation doesn't improve, I will use Methylene Blue in my 10g tank that will become QT.

Then, what do you suggest to use? I have 10g empty tank that I could use as QT. I'm just curious how bad will it get stained? I'm planning to use this tank in future as a regular tank. Will Methylene Blue change silicon color to blue, or will it make it really ugly?

Probably, this is it. Thank you.
