    Help with Betta and Cory (survivors from my community tank collapse)

    Thanks again Colin. There are normally two potted java ferns in there but I took them out for the photos. No substrate (which I know isnt ideal) but has been making it easier for cleaning. Cory is doing fine today. I'm still not sure what happened to the betta. When I did the 75% water change, I...

    Help with Betta and Cory (survivors from my community tank collapse)

    Betta has stopped breathing :( I have given her a clove oil bath to make sure before I bury her.

    Help with Betta and Cory (survivors from my community tank collapse)

    These two have gone down hill today. The cory has been looking a bit lethargic for about 24 hours, the betta seems only to have gone down hill in the last 5. Both have been in the hospital tank for 4 days now. The hopsital tank is being treated with a broad spectrum remedy as the cardinals in it...

    Bacterial Infection Running Rampant Through Tank

    I went to the aquarium today. All their Cardinals have ich. The tank is full of dead Cardinals, some appear also to have bacterial infections probably having a weekend immune system. They won't do anything about it, which is about what I expected. Shouldn't have bought from them as I've had bad...

    Bacterial Infection Running Rampant Through Tank

    I will pop into the aquarium tomorrow. I did post up a bunch of other photos, but I think they are stuck waiting for moderator approval (at least I cant see them on my end). The tetras are one thing, but I am just absolutely heartbroken about the bettas. I raised those girls from fry. Bred them...

    Bacterial Infection Running Rampant Through Tank

    Thank you very much for your reply. The aquarium I got them from is a bit on the dodgier side. I dont normally buy from them as they keep their poor betta's in cups but my usual aquarium doesnt stock caridnals. They keep their cardinals and neons in the same tank, though that may be unrelated to...

    Bacterial Infection Running Rampant Through Tank

    I'm going to go ahead and post the photos using the the forums upload system rather than an Imgur link. Later there should be a post come through (once it is approved) with the link but for now, these are some of the clearer photos I have managed to get. I swear I can see little white spots on...

    Bacterial Infection Running Rampant Through Tank

    A lot of the tetras have this strange bent body. This one is still alive in the photo. I am awaiting moderator approval for the rest of the photos to be posted.

    Bacterial Infection Running Rampant Through Tank

    Spoke to an aquarium manager but he wasn't able to offer much advice. Another water change done on the hospital tank. Cory's and Plec look find, considering seperating them as they are at risk of ammonia poisoning if the remaining tetras die through the night or while I am at work again...

    Bacterial Infection Running Rampant Through Tank

    I will post pictures later today once I'm back home. I take it you don't recommend melafix/Betta fix for Bettas? I'll stop using it immediately. Ive heard bad things about it before but it's what I had on hand. The hospital tank has had at 3/4 water change today. The tetras have patches of...

    Bacterial Infection Running Rampant Through Tank

    TLDR: I had a fish die in the tank and go unnoticed. Ammonia levels spiked and a bacterial infection has quickly developed and spread throughout my poor stressed fish. Fish (as of 48 hours ago): - 6 pepper corys - in tank for 6 months - 1 albino bristlenose - in tank for 4 months - 10...

    Help with Identifying the type of Plec!

    I bought this little guy from the local aquarium with the understanding that they were a bristlenose. Plec (otherwise known as Gandalf) is currently housed in a 50 gallon tank with some corys, bettas and tetras for tank mates. I'm not sure how old Gandalf is, but I know that in the 4...
