I've been on this forum a longtime and have never entered one of these competitions before so thought I'd give it a try! This is my crazy cat Jess, he will be 7 years old in August so will soon be a senior :) the day this photo was taken he had just come back inside covered in what I believe to...

My first thought was Collie (maybe smooth) x Husky and perhaps a bit of Malamute, I can see some blue merle colouration, she is very beautiful.

It is classed as hard here, a ph of 7.6-7.8 here is a water quality report.

I've also had this happen to me, I tried with them twice as they are so beautiful but both times I eventually lost them all displaying same the symptoms. I also got fry that I managed to grow into adults but they too succumbed to the same thing. I won't get them again for this reason, although...

Methylene blue should not be used in the main tank as it will wipe out your beneficial bacteria in the filter.

Yes, sadly I no longer have these fish :X

Yes I see 3 males, platy fry are very good at hiding!

I would move the fancies indoors and leave the koi and standard goldies in the pond.

The second plant looks like Blyxa Japonica, the gourami looks interesting what type are they?

I have a rabbit that does a good job of fertilising my garden with his poo and pee until he ate all my tomato and pepper plants so now I have nothing to fertilise 😭

It could be a flow issue as well, turn down the filter flow or turn it off for a bit just to see if this has an effect on the betta, they really struggle with any flow, a photo of the tank and fish will help too. I see you have mentioned the flow is gentle but his behaviour is saying otherwise...

That's good to hear, I recently went to a fair with my 8 year old and not a single goldfish in sight as a prize thank god!
