Unable to get any medication for another 8-9 hours, hence I elected to go with the heat method. It has spread to the neons and colombian tetras. Hopefully the heat treatment works. Any other remedies to work alongside this (if any)?

I have undertaken a water change and increased the temperature as I cannot get medication for another 9 hours. It has also spread to the neon tetras and colombian tetras overnight, unable to get a good picture but it is not as bad as the gold rams. Fingers crossed, what other remedies (if any)...

I will increase my temperatures slowly over the next 24h. Thanks for that. Thinking of getting Ich medication as well. Will do a 50% water change as well. What is the best way to clean the gravel? Water I will be adding will be similar ish ph. Not sure about other bacterias but I will add...

None of the other fish (20 neon tetras, 10 colombian tetras, 3 starlight plecos or the 10 sterbai corydoras) have any white dots. I will send photos in the morning as I turned off the lights of the aquarium and don't want to further stress them. I am happy to increase temperature but concerned...

Hi All, I came home today to see all 3 of my Gold Rams appear to have a fungal infection. Water parameters are all within spec (pH 6.8, Ammonia 0-0.25ppm, Nitrite 0, Nitrates 0, 27C). I got these fish exactly one week ago and am unsure how to proceed. Any idea what this might be and how to...

Was at the fish shop today and saw this beaut but the name of the fish was not on the aquarium. Any ideas? I believe it is a Jack Dempsey or Electric Blue Jack Dempsey

Hi Team, I have a 180L freshwater planted aquarium with driftwood and gravel as a substrate. Currently I have it stocked with 20 Neon Tetras and 3 Starlight Plecos (fry). I am considering adding a few cichlids. Perhaps 2 Apistogrammas? Or something slightly bigger at around 10-12cm with a...
