They do. It usually equates to around 1 inch of fish per gallon. It sounds like you’d probably have room in your tank unless you had different plans for it. What kind of bottom feeder? A bristlenose pleco? Something larger/smaller?

Sounds like a pretty good setup. The male guppy probably chased her into a wall or something. I would personally get at least 4 more tetras (unrelated to your current issue). They’re happiest in groups of 6 or more- plus arguably the most fascinating aspect of tetras is their shoaling/schooling...

You can also treat lightly with a bacterial or fungal medication like ParaGuard as a precautionary measure because she may be more susceptible to disease in her current condition.

If it appeared suddenly, it leads me to believe that it’s probably just a bruise. My advice would be to monitor her condition and perform daily water changes on the tank she’s in. You can quarantine her if you would like. If the spot increases in size, definitely quarantine her. I’m sure...

Thanks I realized that like a few minutes before you replied. I was confused because I had never seen them in my other tanks before, but maybe the Kuhlis and Cories are them in their respective tanks.

If you get any more, be sure to get either only male or only female, so long as the ratio is 1Mto3F. Is he frantically looking around or shimmying in place? Wiggling side to side rapidly? Regardless, I would wait a few days before getting more and continue to treat the tank.

Looks like it could be either TB or just a bruise. Or a fungal infection. Did it show up suddenly or develop and grow?

Pics? More info? It could be literally anything from this description.

Realized they might be pest snail eggs. I’ll wait for someone else’s analysis and probably perform a water change tomorrow.

There’s a saclike thing attached to the side of the tank with a bunch of white specks in it. It’s a shrimp tank, but I thought shrimp carried their eggs. Nothing else in the tank but pest snails and a neeite snail. But I thought I remembered nerites dropped the big white flecks, not sacs.

I just noticed them, so I couldn't tell you. Whatever I do, I should probably act now so I don't lose him, but I will continue to monitor the location of the spots in his quarantine tank. If it is simply internal parasites, ParaGuard should definitely do the trick though. Do you think this would...

My panda cory has been lethargic for about a week or so now. I lost a peppered cory a few days ago and a different panda cory before that. It was hard to get a good look at them before they passed (or I didn't see both sides of them), so I don't know if they showed the same signs. But I did...

That looks like a fat rosy barb. I almost thought it was a very pregnant variatus at first glance. Perhaps a couple more pictures from different angles if possible?
