The water parameters normally are fine. We were just away for a week so maybe there was an issue with the feeding. I changed out the water when I got back Saturday, noticed the fish not doing well Monday. Maybe something had set in already

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely be doing extra water changes, lower temps a bit. Everybody else looks healthy at the moment. If I do notice more infection, is the Furan -2 safe for plants? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The poor fish has passed on. Thanks for your help though.

Thanks for the advice, will try Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for reply. His tail fin had been nipped by another fish, maybe that's what's driving it. Chemistry is good in tank. I'll try some antibiotics and cross fingers, but not too optimistic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of my angelfish has suddenly developed some sort of rot or something. It's still alive but barely. I have it in s quarantine tank. What is this disease and is there treatment? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thanks for the responses. The lip has gotten better., so I think it was just an injury. Maybe she hurt it eating all the ghost shrimp. That was an expensive meal.

It's on the bottom lip there. What do you do if it's cotton mouth? How will I know? It hasn't spread yet. Could be an injury too. Don't really know what that is. cheers Pete

Hello Yesterday I noticed what might be a fuzzy thing on one of the angelfish's mouth. I have two in a 55g, and occasionally they lip lock and wrestle. I don't know if this is an injury or something more serious. Thanks for help

They definitely starting singing once they were apart. But I'm not sure why. They are still going at it. They are getting super freaky

Oops, I meant MC Hammer. Pork has the pants but it's not slowing him down any. I think I had the tank too warm,. What temp is yours? Hope your frog starts feeling better.

I'm starting to think that maybe the tank was too warm. Yesterday I took Pork out of the 20g and put him in the 29g, which at 68 degrees is about 10 degrees colder than the 20g. After awhile, he was singing quite a bit and both frogs began actively swimming around. My wife said they missed...

He's definitely bloated, whole body now looks a bit squishy. I've got a couple days to deal with this before my business trip. This blizzard is not helping. So I put him in a quarantine tank. Is that necessary? Is it contagious? He's singing all the time now and his lady friend in the...

Howdy. I have two ACFs in a 20g long, sand substrate, couple amazon swords. I think the male is developing bloat, as he's a bit bloated. His skin sort of ripples when he moves. Right now he's acting normally, eating well. The female looks fine. How do I treat this? I've started doing 50%...

Thanks for the responses. Getting this tank set up will be a nice winter project

Hello I have a 55 gallon, cycled, want to stock with angelfish and corys. How many angelfish would be good? I believe 6 corys is what people suggest as a minimum. Also I'd like to use live plants. What kind of plants are suitable and what would lighting requirements be? CO2 and nutrients...

Here is mangled ghost knife fish

I got him out of the tank and he's looking mangled, fins all torn up. Could he have been wrecked by a pleco or some other fish? Actually, now he's dead. What the hell?

Hello Today I was feeding the fish and noticed the ghost knife is lying more or less on its side, long white patches along the body. He's swimming pretty weakly. I was thinking ich but it doesn't look like salt, rather long. Sorry for the photo orientation. What is it and is there...

I don't know what the little pleco is. It looks pretty standard but hasn't grown at all. I suppose if he starts growing big i can trade him in. Thanks for the help. I will eventually dump the tiger barbs for sure, probably the danios as well. They swim pretty fast, might not be good for the...

Hi, thanks for the responses. I'm away from the tanks but can give a bit of info off the top of my head: Plecos: I have one little Pleco that won't get bigger and one high fin. The little Pleco is lazy and needed help. The high fin seems a bit aggressive and I have been thinking of taking...

Hello, I have a 29 gallon with two angelfish, 2 plecos, a molly, a ghost knife fish, and a little shark. I was just given a 55 gallon and its fish: three tiger barbs, 3 danios, a Pleco, and 2 gouramis. I want to get everyone in the 55 gallon. Who will be compatible and who won't? I think I...

Thanks for responses. I introduced the fish by letting their bag adjust to the water temp of the tank for awhile. They all seemed fine, although I did notice one of them not eat on Saturday when I fed them. May have been the one who checked out, they kinda look the same. I also did a water...

Hello, I recently decided to add four platys to my 29 gallon tank, which currently houses an angelfish and a pleco. A week into quarantine, a platy died. The other three look ok still, didn't notice anything obviously wrong with the dead one, except that it was dead. What do I do now? How...

I was watching the turtle yesterday and noticed he looked odd. Then he started vomiting. Why would he do that? Seemed to be better afterwards. How often does that happen and why? Thanks
