I got new plants about a month and a half ago and it got uprooted. It got a bad case of hair algae but I looked into it and it doesnt say the hair algae is bad. I removed it all with my heavy wc and threw away the new plant.

Thank you for this advice, I will definitely be doing weekly wc's from this point on. I feel so foolish for what has happened but I tried my best for her with the knowledge I had and loved her since she was a baby. I put her to rest in my sunflower bed. She was truly a special fish.

Ms. Wanda passed away

I moved them back successfully and the tank is slowly heatin up. Unfortunately I dont think Wanda is going to make it. I put her in a breeder box so shed be left alone, later let her out because I read being confined is more stress. She is lying on her side on a plant just breathing heavily. I...

I checked the levels of the display tank and the ammonia is 0ppm. I am raising the temp of the main tank and will be moving them back in. Please let me know about the salt if you can help. Thank you guys I apologize for all of the confusion I'm just very scared and nervous. I dont think Wanda...

I think I'm going to move them back to the home tank. Should I dose the home tank with salt or not since I have scaleless fish and cories? This is a roller coaster of emotion and I am very stressed.

The water ammonia levels: Before wc: 1ppm Straight from tap: 0ppm After wc: .25-.50 ppm Wanda is struggling badly and is slumped on the floor of the tank. Should I move them back to their home tank and just raise the temp there? The levels are toxic in this quarantine tank since I didny have...

HELP!! I'm not sure how, but even though this wc was only hours old, the ammonia is 1ppm. Straight from the tap??? Like I did a 100% wc from the tap (did condition with stress coat) I'm doing a immediate 50% wc but I'm freaking out!!! The water is foggy but theres only aquarium salt and...

Also, I only recently noticed the white spots and patches in the last 4 days, she was very active and normal and then all or a sudden lethargic and shy.

I admit I hadn't changed the water in about 3 weeks, but the ammonia levels stayed in the .02 or less ppm based on my ammonia indicator in the tank. I've been having a tough time mentally and it has effected my maintenance but my most recent wc (3 days ago) was 50% when I noticed she was ill. I...

The medications? I thought it would be best to do the ich, bacterial remedy, and pimafix since I'm not 100% sure on the illness, and I figured covering all of my bases would be best. Is that not recommend?

Also, there has been no new additions to their regular tank recently. It's an established 65 gallon with 10 silver tip tetras, 4 dojo loaches, 8 kuhli loaches, 10 emerald corydoras, 4 upside down cats, 2 half banded spiny eels, a mystery catfish (have a previous thread about him) and some...

Thank you guys for your response! I ended up setting up an emergency 10 gallon for Wanda and Vision. I used some filter Media from their home tank and also bottled beneficial bacteria. I have the tank at 82° with HOB and airstone, dosed with aquarium salt, super ich cure (api), pimafix (api)...

I love these fish so much and will do anything to save them, the one who is sick her name is Wanda, please send her good wishes. I love her dearly.
