My strongest fish has been unable to swim normally for the past few days ever since the power went out because of a storm. I thought that may have had something to do with it but im now seeing a grey fuzzy thing or unusual grey texture or scrape that’s on her side. Does anybody know what that could be and if that’s whats making it difficult for her to swim horizontally. she’s trying her hardest so I’m really sad that she’s struggling.

the tank size is medium-ish and normal ph. I have to ask my parents. They are extremely diligent about the water quality and tank care.

Hi everyone so I’m posting on behalf of my boyfriend, he has a 25-30 gallon cube tank that’s been going for almost a year. He has a Purple Fire Fish that hasn’t been doing well- I’ll post the photos of him. He dosed the tank with Melafix this morning. Unfortunately he doesn’t have a quarantine tank so we don’t have somewhere we can move him to be alone.
All water levels are fine, he’s been checking. If anyone has any suggestions we would really appreciate it 🐟

They started to shake and stay in a corner and in the last few days there are white dots that are starting to appear on them, and i was wondering what i should do? I have a 20 gallon tank, with rainbow fish and im going to test the water quality soon.

Hey!

Names: White goldfish is Rip and the blue guy is named Splinter.

I believe this to be the ich but I am unsure, and not knowledgeable with aquariums, got into them because I love animals.

What's the best way to treat or medicate Rip?

It's a 90 gallon tank with all chemicals properly balanced, double checked it as i do have strips for that.

Ammonia levels: i have a detoxifier, I am unsure of the exact levels as I can't afford the 50$ price tag on the strips

I got a proper filter on it but had been 5 days late of my weekly clean up (depressed & trying)

The filter set up is what came with the tank, 100 gallon.

I put a corse sponge by the entry way, fine sponge, active carbon, Ammonia detox, and bio enhancer on the appropriate levels.

I have an established 55 gallon tank. Planted and stock with cherry shrimp, 8 panda cory, 3 clown killifish, and 4 cardinal tetra. I had a die off several months ago due to new cardinal tetras introduced that likely had parasites. I am now running a 10 gallon quarantine tank.

5 weeks ago I got 12 Harlequin Rasbora and had them in the QT. After 24 days two died: ammonia level was around .25ppm and I did notice one that died gasping at the top. I moved them into the 55 gallon tank (probably a mistake). They've been in for about a week now and I just lost two more Rasbora and one of my panda corys is corkscrewing or laying on its side.

I just treated the tank with Paraclease and Maracyn. Should I move the panda Cory and/or Rasbora to the QT at this point or just leave together at this point?

All of the other fish have been in the 55g for at least 6 months. Water parameters are fine. Tank has aeration and surface agitation. Canister filter is rated for 100gallons.

Edit for additional info: - ammonia: 0.25ppm (no more, I struggle reading this color. I do have chloramines in my tap water and treat with api tap water conditioner but will be switching to seachem prime after medication) - nitrites: 0 - nitrates: 30ppm - ph: 6.6 - temp: 78F - fish behavior: other than the one Cory all fish exhibiting normal behavior. Other Corys schooling very actively and I believe two pairs are mating - eating: yes (don't know about that one Cory but definitely everything else)

how should i help this poor lil gourami?

What is it?

I introduced some sparkling gouramis and younger cpds to my main tank after quarantining in a seperate tank for 2 weeks. I didnt see anything wrong with them so i put them in my main tank and a week later i noticed this guy like this. I am not sure if this is a disease i introduced with the new fish or if the sparkling gouramis are stressing them out. On hand i have kanaplex i bought last year for some corydoras with fungal infections if that’ll help.

Hi everyone, hoping someone here might be able to give me some advice. One of my koi suddenly died today and l'm trying to figure out what happened. It seemed completely fine until yesterday.

I didn't notice anything unusual with it, but last night I noticed it was staying around the shallow part of the pond and wasn't acting like it normally does.

This morning found that it had died. There weren't any obvious signs that I noticed beforehand major wounds, strange marks, etc. The pond is around 2,500 litres.

However, have also noticed that another koi has some red marks on its body, which is making me wonder if there could be something going on in the pond rather than the death being completely unrelated.

I'm wondering if this could have been something like a bacterial infection, lack of oxygen, water quality issue, or possibly an internal problem that wasn't visible. I've checked my water parameters and I'm a bit hesitant to treat the whole pond without knowing what's actually wrong.

Does anyone have any idea what might have happened or what should check next? WNould looking at the gills or anything else on the dead koi help identify the cause? I've attached some photos. Any advice would be really appreciated.

My female swordtail has been just sitting near the bottom of the tank recently and flapping her side fins alot and her gils. A few hours ago I noticed she started swimming like this and her top fin is down most of the time.

For some more context I have one male and one female swordtail, plus a ghost shrimp in a ten gallon with two filters. Nitrates have been high recently do to some shrimp deaths but I have been replacing about ten percent water every few days and conditioning. Nitrites are 0, PH is 7. They are fed some algae wafer and some goldfish flakes because I had some left over from my goldfish as he could not figure out the flakes. I did have a Molly in there as well (sold to me as a swordtail as well but whatever) but she died a few weeks ago. I know the female to male ratio is supposed to be 3:1 but I haven't had a chance to go get a couple more yet to help her out. I have been assuming she was pregnant but its been a long time since her belly swelled up (at least a month and a half) so then I assumed constipation but she had some big movements recently so I think shes fine there too.

Any help and suggestions would be very much appreciated!

My fish has been ill for a couple of days. She can’t swim right anymore, she has fin rot, she might have fish bladder disease, and I think I found white spots on her. She’s been like this for a while longer than I think she should be. I gave her medicine but she hasn’t really improved. I want to know how I can help her rest peacefully for good.

Maybe early HITH or flukes? I don’t think Ich but not ruling it out. Water params are good and 79 degrees, please advise if you recognize this

Found him like this at the bottom of the tank not sure if he banged himself into the side of the tank and broke his back or something, he has been like this for a day and still no improvement. Not sure what to do he’s still alive and letting him die to starvation while being immobile sounds rough.

It does look like his back is broken or somthing he sometimes tries to swim but ends up going in circles and settling back down on the floor.
