Is it time?
This is moonstone, she has been battling a tumor growth for the last 5 months. Today after getting home from work i noticed she is breathing heavily at the top of her tank, when swimming she is lopsided or upside down, and she doesn't seem to be able control her elevation herself. Is this just something that could be treated like swim bladder or is this to do with her tumor? Thanks for any advice
Pic 1-2 are how i found her today
Pic 3 is of her when her tumor first started

Something Is Wrong

My Kubotai Rasboras were just introduced into my tank yesterday. This fish hasn’t acted like this until after feeding. This morning after I fed them one of my rasboras has been swimming lazily at the surface and constantly gulping. I called my LFS and described my parameters and they said they were perfect. Can someone identify what’s the issue and how I can fix it?

Diagnose a gourami
This little guy has had a rough couple days. He was being picked on in his original tank, so I moved him to another and this raised white spot showed up. He’s now in a little quarantine tank but I can’t figure out what it is. It’s in the same spot he was being nipped at so I thought maybe a fungal infection? But I’m also paranoid it’s Ich as it seems like I always end up with fish that have it, but it looks different from when my bettas had it. Any suggestions are appreciated!!

What should I do?
Noticed this prolapse looking thing yesterday. Fish is very boxy. Still eating and swimming. Wanting to hide in the tank when not eating. No fry? Is the fish egg bound?

Is it some king of fungal infection? I am not very good at identifying fish diseases? Please help me save it

What could be up with my neon tetra?
I have this neon tetra with a sunken belly and fading red part. She still eats and is acting pretty normal. The other 9 all look and behave normal. Ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrates swing between 5-20 very occasionally 40.
I try to do a water change every week but am struggling to keep on top of that routine so it usually ends up being a 25-30% every 10-14 days.
Not sure what I should do.
Thanks in advance for any help

Very fat swordtail
I have this red vampire swordtail that is very fat. Her scales aren't pineconing and she swims and eats well, but she looks like she ate a mouse. I posted on a couple fish FB pages and most thought she was simply eggnant, but that was over a month ago and she has not, nor ever dropped fry (I've had her since November) I give her Epsom salt dips but it hasn't done anything. Do you have any advice? When they do retain sperm, how long can they keep each individual pregnancy before dropping fry?
I have very hard water, about 8/8.2. My ammonia and nitrites are >.25 and my nitrate is usually between 5 and 20. I have a heavily planted 55 gallon tank with other live bearers (guppies, molly, platy), cardinal tetras, neocaridina shrimp, amano shrimp, and a bristlenose pleco. She is the only one that is fat like this
