His tail started decaying a while ago. But it has stopped And although it has not grown back it has not become any worse. His body does not appear to be bent anymore. I'm not sure if it was bent to begin with...he was swimming funny....but would straighten out again. I don't have any female...

Thanks catxx, Wow...how sad. And that guy just isn't listening. I like the 24 puppies in a cupboard analogy. I thought plecos got a lot larger than 3 in., but I don't know that much about them. I've also heard that Bettas should be alone. Anyway, just look at all that algae on his tank. Yikes...

I have 1 betta in my 5 gallon, too. Can you send me the link. I think we all are pretty curious...lol. I am so surprised they are still alive...Wow! For a whole year???

Hi, I have a guppy whose tail is split and he seems to be losing a scale on his nose...there is something uneven...sticking up. This has happened before and he seemed to get better with Maracyn-2 & Maracyn....but it's back. I'm going to put him in the hospital tank and medicate him again, but...

Hi Amunet, How is your fish? Has it been cramping anymore? I had the same thing happen with one of my guppies. I put him in the hospital tank and treated him with Maracyn-2. I was worried it might be TB.....since curved spine is on the list of symptoms. But he had been in the hospital tank a...

Have you tried Maracyn-II? I had one fish with a split tail and this fixed it....but had another with tail rot and although it hasn't gotten worse, it hasn't grown back. Good luck! It's so hard to have a sick fish!! Oh, taking the gravel out sounds like a good idea. I read that dirty gravel is...

I'm so sorry about your Betta, Andy. I love our beautiful guy and would be crushed if he died. I'm curious...you had more than one in the tank? I was under the impression they'd fight. Thanks! Susan

Oh yikes! Now I'm worried my guppies have TB. I can see why Wilder may think a lot of things are TB...there is almost every symptom on that list (the link). I just looked in my tank and one of the guppies if definitely swimming strangely and seems to have a curved spine. Should I take him out...

Hi All, I have a guppy who was sick and is now well, but there are two guppies chasing him. They are all males. It seems like they may be picking at him. Or just following him? Anyway, if anyone has any ideas why....I'm perplexed. I may just put him in his own tank. Double Trouble, I'm so...
