I've noticed that one of my diamond tetras has recently developed a cloudy eye only on its left eye. I looked through the symptoms on this page but I can't tell what it might be. Can anyone help me determine what might be wrong with my fish's eye? This is the only fish in the tank exhibiting...

He was well fed before this happened. (at least I think he was) The water parameters of the 5 gal. tank weren't very good. (I'm sorry to admit) We did not use a cycled media filter because the new tank wouldn't fit the one from our big tank so we used the carbon filter that came with the new...

Our gourami is still alive in the 5 gal rescue tank, however I'm very concerned. The fish has not eaten anything since the day before we moved him to the new tank. (last saturday) We've tried both flake food and frozen brine shrimp. All day long he lies on his side at the bottom of the tank...

I think I figured out a solution. I placed the plastic tube from our gravel vacuum inside the new tank and the gourami swam inside it to relieve him from the stress of the current. He propped himself up against the side and it looked like it is making him happier. I hope it works... This...

I have to ask another question. :oops: In this new tank, we powered off the filter because it seemed to be causing the gourami some stress. In our 55 gal. tank, he was propping himself against things because it seemed as though a great deal of effort was needed to keep from moving. Long...

Thank you for the warm (and helpful) welcome. :D

Thank you very much for the information. We purchased a small 5 Gal. acrylic kit for about $30 USD and it included everything (light, filter, pump) except a heater so we bought a small heater (an thermometer) to go with this tank. We planned to keep this as an isolation unit, so we didn't go...

Thanks for all of the information and advice. I have never had an isolation tank before. I plan to get one tonight and set it up for him. Can you recommend a size (I was thinking 2-5 gal.), filter/heater requirements, and whether water from the current tank should be used. Also, should the...

Maybe these images will help with the diagnosis. I was able to take some new pictures because I think the poor guy is slowing down a lot. Notice the dark black lines around the gills. He/She (not sure which) seems to be propped up in the plant, but is still breathing. pic 1 pic 2 pic 3

Unfortunately, those were the best pictures we could get. The fish is getting worse. It is currently leaning on a plant at the bottom of the tank. Its coloring is fading slightly and the black spots are still there. The other fish in the tank are: 1 zebra danio 6 harlequin rasboras 2 small...

I have a 55 gal. freshwater tank with 24 fish, including my powder blue gourami. The tank is roughly 77 degrees. Yesterday, I noticed that s(he) is very lethargic and seems to retreat to tight spaces and not move very much. This morning, I noticed black patches on both sides of him/her...
