I would love to see how an under gravel filter is setup with sand!

I have a 20 gallon tank with a sand bottom. I am currently using Aqueon30 filter which does a decent job as well as a small black sponge filter. This keeps my tank mostly clean, but are there better filters for a sandy bottom tank? I tried Marineland bio wheel filter which kept my tank beautiful...

Ok. Well thank you for your help.

Right before he had this, the Dainos had eggs which they ate up. Is it possible they ate too much calcium from their eggs?

That makes sense that he would be old then. My water temp is typically 74°-75°. I use to have it at 69°-70° for the 1st year but my fish weren't as active.

Well he's about 2yrs old, and my general hardness is usually between a 3-5. My pH tends be between 7.2-7.8 but usually resides closer to 7.2

It doesn't come off like mucous and has been there for a few months. Just recently I noticed one of my female Dainos has it slightly too. It protrudes like a bubble through the fin and isn't restricted to only the top or bottom. That's why I originally thought it was ich.

Here's the video. Again it's hard to see him because he hangs out by the filter so it's a hard angle to view. Someone mentioned lymphocystis so added that to the title.

I tried posting a video, but it says the uploaded file doesnt have a supported extension. So here's a closer photo where I circled the issues. It's a transparent white bubble that goes through the fin. Looks like ich but didn't react to ich treatment or higher water temp of 86 for 2wks.

My tank size 24in x 16in x 12in and is 20gallons. Water changes of 6-7 gallons about once a week. The Seachem chemicals I use only for water changes to help keep my water measurements good. It was never meant to treat the issue with the Dainos. I had issues keeping the water clean without the...

My male zebra daino has transparent white bubble spots on its fins only for the past few months. I tried treating him with API super ich for about 1 week in a separate tank, but it did not cure or reduce the spots. I then tried putting him back in the community, raising the temp to 86° with salt...
