Thanks snork6,   Let's see what happens in the next few days...

Update: Sadly, he died. And his belly was totally flat, did it burst?!   If so, isn't the water now totally contaminated with his bacteria??   I just add some Interpet No 9, Anti Internal Bacteria, in the water, just in case.   Sad.

Thanks snork6,   I'll try to take and post a picture later.   But he was looking really perfect when i bought him, nice perfect tail fin and all. I was surprised to see how fast his tail fin became damaged, it felt like it was too fast for a disease to do that, only a couple of days! More like...

Hello all,   (Sorry for coming here only when I have a problem...    )   We set up this tank 1.5 years ago, and after the first difficult 6 months it was finally fine, cycled (Nitrite 0, Ammonia 0 - 0.25, Nitrate 20 - 40), peaceful, perfect. Well, almost perfect, since we had only 4 small fishes...

Thanks LyraGuppi,   Now our male Gourami is the only Gourami in the tank.   Do you think he will he be ok alone?   We only have 3 Neon Tetras there with him. The Gouramis never even aknowledge the Neons. Though now our male Gourami seems to be noticing them, and either trying to school with...

Clove oil this morning sadly, she was too poor, dying really. It was the only humane thing to do.   The other fish in the aquarium look fine. Let's see.

Tuesday: She looks worse this morning, lying on the floor almost sideways, still breathing, but looking even paler than before, almost white, and she struggles to swim to the surface to get her air bubbles.   I'm starting to consider euthanasia. But if yesterday's blue bath cleared some skin...

I've added some updates on the main thread. Any help will be much appreciated.   http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/437278-photos-of-a-fish-disease-help-please/

Update: The treatment with Interpet Anti-Internal Bacteria didn't make any visible difference. But this morning we found her lying on the aquarium floor almost immobile, and didn't go for the surface when we added food.   So we've decided to try the methylene blue bath, she just had 30 minutes...

  That is v interesting attibones, thanks.   You help us to figured out their ages. They have tried to breed this summer, built bubble nests, and had fries, 3 times i think. We tried to help the fry grow, trying to get as many as possible and isolate them in a little maternity box inside the...

  Mostly yes, but with one important change: She is not eating as much or as fast as before. She used to be a Hoover! No longer.   Update: We saw that Interpet's list of symptoms and recommended treatments that come with their medicines, and we are trying their Anti-Internal Bacteria. Let's see...

Hi LyraGuppi,   I can't think of anything like that. Actually just 1 week before this problem appeared I was commenting with my wife that our aquarium had finally achieved a blissful condition of health and harmony, no diseases, no fights, just perfect...   Have i jinxed it???    

Thanks TwoTankAmin,   Yes, i agree that i shouldn't "panic", and that fish TB is very rare, i had read that same article. Though the data would have been much more useful if it was the rate amongst aquarium keepers, as opposed to the general population.   What is annoying, and worrying, is that...

I've uploaded a photo with higher resolution online, i'll try to link it here.   Edit: Good, the photo is showing. Unfortunately the focus is not perfect. And that is my best photo, out of some 20 attempts! I think my camera's auto-focus has troubles with the aquarium glass, and the fish moving...

Thanks LyraGuppi,   No, her back is fine.
