Sorry they're so hard to get a still photo off

Good news it's looking a lot better today and regaining color. I'm wondering if maybe he just hit it on a rock or something? A few others had discolored spots but nothing big and swollen like the one I photographed. It never looked fuzzy like cotton mouth.

It is one bloodfin terra with a large white/pink bump on his mouth. A few other of the tetras have a similar things on their mouth but none as big as this one. It seems to be getting worse. Ammonia-0 Nitrite-0 Nitrates-10 They are in a 55 gallon aquarium that has been set up for at least 3...

Is this some type of fungal or bacterial infection? Sorry it's really hard to photograph them.

Hm I guess I'll just do some extra water changes. I was just worried it was a tumor or something though

I did have a neon just randomly die (just because they are getting old and not very hardy i think) this caused a small ammonia spike but I did a 75% water change and took out the body and it's good now. This bump has slowly gotten worse it's grey in color and lumpy. I don't think he's being nipped

I'm actually pretty new to plants also. I have the same problem because I want some more colorful plants but don't have a real high tech set up that red plants need. All green plants doesn't look as good to me in my opinion. I think some iron also helps bring out the color a little, but I'm no...

My betas top fin doesn't look so good. It doesn't look like fin rot but I'm not sure I thought he was just getting old as I've had him for a little over a year now.

I think lugwigia repens is an easier redish plant maybe red tiger lotus, or crypt wendtti

Something In my tank is out of balance and I've been growing lots of algae in my 55 gallon planted tank I really need some help. I understand that a little algae is ok, but I would like to be able to see into my tank. I'm not experienced but I think I have cynanobacteria. It forms large clumps...

Would this be overstocked in your opinion it's a 55 gallon 1-rainbow shark 3-swordtails 5-zebra loaches 6-bloodfin tetra 6-black phantom tetra 1-pearl gourami 3-6 dwarf neon rainbows or congo tetra

Ok maybe I'll just expand my other school of bloodfin tetras

That's where I messed up I should have gotten the premium with the adapter. I had no idea the tanks lasted that long though I'll stop being so stingy with the bps then I guess.

It seems people either love rainbows or hate them.

lol I've come a long way at least I'll get a drop checker soon any idea how long a 24oz tank will last me I think I'm going to get 2. I know I should of gotten a 5lb tank in the long run but I'm having a hard time finding anywhere that would fill them. Thanks for the help everyone

I'll be getting zebra loaches at the bottom so they should hopefully be able to compete.

I currently only have it set to 2 bps right now also. I didn't know that to little of co2 could cause algae either my plan was to run it at only 2bps and make each tank last. I thought that some co2 would be better than none but I guess that's not the case. I'm also supplementing with excel if...

I'm sorry this is all fairly new to me, I'm not getting very much co2 dissolved because my diffuser isn't very good or I don't have enough bps. I guess I'll get a drop checker also but planted aquariums sure are expensive I couldn't imagine the cost if I were to get a even bigger tank.

My ph is around 7.5 and kh is 180 If that helps

Oh and substrate is Eco complete capped with sand

Sorry, I'm using the bubble counter/check valve it came with. I'm using flourish comprehensive and oscmote plus root tabs for ferts I also occasionally dose excel. My lights are two 48" t8 shop lights and 1 24" t5ho light in the back all with 6500k bulbs. My plants are just some water...

It's a 55 gallon. I feel they might overstock my tank though if I only had 3 of the rainbows would they be happy?
