I was also going to suggest dwarf gourami disease- if that was the case, there’s nothing you could have done. So sorry for your loss :(

Hmmm, not sure. Beginning of fin/tail rot? or Columnaris? I would look both of those up with associated symptoms and start with water changes for any imperfect water parameters. Also, I’ve learned recently to pay particular attention to pH, GH, and KH with mollies to ensure good osmoregulation...

If there is insufficient improvement after you finish the Kanaplex, you may want to try erythromycin/Maracyn for the eye issues… I’ve read from several sources that it is the best suited for those https://www.aquarium-pond-answers.com/2009/01/streptococcus-eye-infections.html?m=1...

I don’t know… that could be Columnaris (anyone?) If so, I have had success treating my four mollies for that with Kanaplex and Furan-2 together (Google how to administer together). They completely healed and it hasn’t returned :)

I also trust all Seachem products.

Another option is erythromycin, as it is supposed to be very effective for eye issues.

Hi, sorry for your poor betta. Everyone has different opinions on dropsy- but most say it is fatal. That said, I am not one to give up, and recently was able to heal (at least temporarily) my molly with signs of swim bladder disease, which most also say is usually incurable. I’ve tried many...

Hi all, I’m posting a few pictures to see if anyone had seen these white patches/film before. I have since quarantined this sweet molly who I raised from a little fry, so any help would be appreciated. She originally looked like this gradually, but always had an appetite. Then she started...

Hi all, I am posting this for a friend as a last ditch effort, so I do not have all her water parameters but she just placed her powder blue gourami in a QT anyway. He has been lethargic and now very short of breath, and darting around for air. Main symptom seemed to start as red bubble-like...

https://patch.com/maryland/annapolis/cancer-linked-contaminants-anne-arundel-drinking-water-report Well, I have actually transitioned to plan B after reading the above ☝️[emoji51]and am now looking for a water filtration system, but thanks for the insights. I have also ordered some macro algae...

Thanks!! Yes, I have about 6/7 plants, but maybe I will look into buying more.

Great! Love when that happens.

Nitrates are usually high in my 65 gallon... I can’t seem to find the balance. I’ve added plants to the tank, keep it clean, don’t over feed, and have only one albino Ahli cichlid in there. I have two Penguin 350 bio wheel filters running, lots of air stones and caves. Lately, bc my fish wasn’t...

Oh yeah- and it is best to medicate the food (vs. use as bath treatment)

Oh gosh, I can relate to the heater issue : { if the temperature fluctuated rapidly, the stress of it could have brought on infection. I can’t tell if their eyes are really swollen, (any side pix?) but if so, Kanaplex has worked really well for me for those spectrum of infections, especially...

Maybe Facebook? I’ve been told there is a group “aqua swap” in which you sell/trade and maybe give away aquatic animals, equipment, etc.

Thanks, Aiken! I guess I should be looking into a water filter for my downstairs faucet then... or is there a more targeted water conditioner? Like maybe Fritz Aquatics Complete Water Conditioner?

Also, IMHO they should not be hiding or swimming in circles after tank assimilation (few days). Mine will school quite often, even though there are only 4. Initially, when I saw one of them breathing heavily, I discovered high ammonia in the tank; luckily, I got to it fast. Nowadays, I rely on...

Hi, Where did you purchase the fish? I can’t answer for the GloFish variety but I have 4 black skirt tetras I purchased from a reputable local fish store and they have been great! I actually was still cycling my 29 gallon tank at the time I bought them, and they have been through that (hell)...

Please help - I need advice re: water in my fish tanks. I have been using Prime for a while, which seems like a good water conditioner but I’m not sure if it detoxifies chlorine and chloramine equally. Not only has our plain tap water tested positive for small amounts of ammonia, I’ve noticed...
