I just did a huge wc. Thanks so much.

Brookster! You saved my life and my fishs lives! The nitrates were 10/20 ppm. Will check ammonia and nitrites. It is probably not possible for them to make a full recovery right?

Should not be terribly dirty. Its new sand, just changed substrates. But i noticed a lot of waste floating around where they normally go--in the last week and a half. I just vacuumed that up before.

I change the water every week. 25 percent or more. Is that enough? And ive never had water quality problems,at least i think, i never shake the bottles.

Api master test kit. Actually, the upper level fish don't have any signs of it. Theyre lampeyed tetras and madagascar rainbowfish.

In the first post.

Is that black hair algae?

Thank you. Time to shake my bottles.

Shaky shaky til yur arm falls off??

The water parameters are fine. Their barbells are fully intact. Im going to just vacuum the gravel, a place looks kind of dirt. Also there are algae problems, i dont know if that could be the cause. Ill take some pics.

I have five corys, two peppered and 3 emeralds. They all show it and it's more serious on the peppered ones. Thanks for the help.

No there are absolutely no Ammonia, nitrites, nitrates.

The problems started when I changed the substrate from gravel. The parameters are all fine.

The top and the bottom are red. I think it's unlikely that its caused by biting, but I don't want to rule it out. Here are some pictures, I couldn't capture the redness very well, it's like a brighter, pinker color. As you can see, it's somewhere on the head. I don't think this is normal...

My catfish have red marks near the front. I don't know if its because of disease or being bitten. Is it even possible for other fish to bite corydoras near the front? I heard that they have bony plates. Thank you.

Yes. I have a piece of driftwood. But i dont think thats it, their whole body is red and covered in splotches??? Or something. I will post a pic

Its been a week, dosed with melafix for a week. My two peppered catfish are still sick, still have the same symptoms as before. What is happening? They swim and eat fine. The other fish are not red or anything. Could it be the change of substrate, the frozen bloodworms? And i do not think...

If i decide to get just spark ling gouramis, 3 of them . How do i buy 2 female 1 male. I know i can sex when they are adults, but when they are juvinile its impossible.

Thanks for your reply. No, I removed them while changing.

The red areas are caused by nipping? I didnt know fish nipped other fish's bodies.

Maybe im not feeding them enough. Maybe theyre stressed. Who do you think is doing the nipping?

Another picture. imgur: the simple image sharer Maybe this is normal. I am not sure.

I just changed the gravel at the beginning of the week. My catfish especially have been stressed out. They twitch and move very weirdly when I am around. Worried they might be sick. A link is here. Thanks. imgur: the simple image sharer 1~Peppered catfish. Red spots/areas. Eyes sort...

Thanks for the suggestion guys. I set it up and if it eventually gets annoying I will change filters.
