Just wondering what you meant by actual seawater? I have aquarium salt, I'm pretty far from the coast though lol so I don't have access to the real deal.

Ok, I've been doing partial water changes every day until the Kanaplex arrived. It came in the mail yesterday, so I added the first dose last night.

Haven't tried any parasitic meds, my original research on the white bumps on his mouth lead me to believe they were benign cysts. The bumps on his body are bigger and as you can see in the photo it looks like they're causing his scales to pop out. Any recommendations on parasitic meds? Sent...

There were two white bumps near his mouth at one point but they subsided. I think I'm going to try Kanaplex for the eyes but if that doesn't work I don't know where to turn. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

He has had bumps before that went away but nothing this large, also not sure about his cloudy eye. I'm assuming it's bacterial because of the fish I lost to dropsy last week. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

My German Blue Ram has had a cloudy eye and protruding white mass for some time now (see pictures). Two weeks ago I posted asking for help on the issue and decided to treat with herbal tonics (pimafix and melafix by API). After the recommended dosing I saw no change so I purchased some...

I'm on my third day with erythomycin and haven't noticed any change, the directions say a full treatment is four days so I'll doubt this is going to fix the my issue. Really don't know what to do, I've tried pima/melafix, now erythomycin hasn't worked. Could try something that gets gram-negative...

From Canada, but in my town there's only two big box stores that sell mainstream stuff. Where can I order oxytetracylcine? Just did the first dose of erythomycin today btw, we'll see if that goes anywhere.

Thanks for your recommendations! My options are limited where I live, I can get methylene blue and rid ich on Amazon, but the only antibiotics I can get are ones you add to the water column by API (tetracycline hydrochloride and erythromycin).

I picked up some pima/melafix jsut to try it out for a week. If it doesn't clear up my plan was to try some erythromycin Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

All my levels are in check, regular water changes and a mature tank. Other fish seem healthy, he's the only one that looks like he has problems. He's had the cloudy eye for about a month and a half now. Noticed issues starting from when I moved the tank, figured it was just stress but that was 2...

Here are pictures: He's also lost colour, any idea what this could be? In the past he had growths near his mouth but I think they were harmless as they went away on their own.

Hey all, ended up putting some wood screws in the sides and some L-brackets on each of the shelves. Also put a cross brace in the back. Here are the screws in the sides at each shelf. I’m going to put another bit of stain on them tonight, the pic makes it look like they are a lot more...

This might show the bowing a little better

Thickness is about 3/4 inch, but again the back is very thin.

It is wood, but those bracing pieces are just glued in. Also, the back piece isn't structural, it's just a thin to cover.

I just got a new table to hold my fish tank. It wasn't made for a fish tank so I'm paranoid that it is going to fail. I've had it on there for about a week and I'm convinced the left side is bowing out. For peace of mind, I'd like to reinforce it. My idea was to put a single 2x2 at the back...

From researching, I'm thinking that as well. Doesn't seem like there is a whole lot you can do about cysts, so hopefully they won't affect his health. The only thing that makes me question that is that he grew the first one, then about a week and a half later a second one showed up.

bumping this back?

Hello all, see the attached photos of white bumps that have appeared near my male Ram Cichlid's mouth. I don' believe it is ich because they protrude quite far. The first one showed up about two weeks ago and the second bump just started to form. I'm not really sure how to proceed with it. Can...

Sounds good, ive seen those never tried em though Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Wouldn't a nutrient deficiency affect all the species in the tank, not just one?

They were growing fine when I first put them in, the distorted growth only recently started happening. All new growth on the crypts is now distorted, but other species in the tank seem to be growing fine. I've got Seachem Flourish Root Tabs. They were growing fine, then after I put the root...

After doing a little research, I think they are in fact crypts (cryptocoryne lutea to be specific). See the better photos below, note that the second one was from when they were fairly juvenile.
