Best pictures I can manage :(

Ive have a black platy for about a month now with no problems. About a week ago she got injured by something (probably gourami) and had a couple of damaged scales. Because of this I've been watching he extra closely every day. Her damaged scales are repared but I've noticed her scales all appear...

Awesome, thank you.

My cabomba is growing way too leggy. Its up to 2 inches between nodes on some stalks. Tank is 20 gallons, pressurized co2, EI fert dosing, 3.8 wpg. I've heard it could be too little light? It seems like its just growing too darn fast.

I'm not an expert by any means but I just lost a dwarf gourami with similar symptoms to dwarf gourami virus. I had no idea of its existence but here is some information: http://www.fishchannel.com/fish-health/disease-prevention/fish-viral-disease.aspx As a note, in the article it says the virus...

Thank you both! Perfect :)

 I bought two of these plants labelled only as anubias. When purchased they had the typical green, roundish leaves on a long stem. After transplant the leaves melted and the regrowth is red/rust colored in the leaf margins and the leaves are more sword shaped and have little stem. What variety...

She is still hanging in there but seems to be listless overall. She no longer appears to be sinking, but does still spend her time hiding on the gravel or in a corner at the surface. No appetite either. Feces are back to normal though. All other fish in the tank still seem healthy.

Thanks!

Ok, that makes sense and fits their behavior perfectly. So like danios ae more of a schooling fish? I guess my hopes of a bright little tetra pack must fall by the wayside lol poor things must be terrified at the lfs, they look like schoolers there. Perfect link, thanks.

Whats the difference between shoaling and schooling?

Ok, I'm glad it means they're getting used to things!

I've had 10 neon tetras for about two weeks now and everyone seems to be doing great but the fish are no longer schooling. They just kind of dart about in their own area of the tank and will occasionally join up with three or so. They all are eating and bright, no hiding.. Its just weird. Do...

Lights off it is then! I guess its not bright and sunny every day in the wild either lol thanks for all the great advice everyone!
