Ok strangely I've woke up this morning the white spot has shrunk very slightly but now does look very slightly "cottony" but it's too small to tell. But he's now eating as normal again? So 1) I'm hoping it is just mucus that clears Or 2) if it is cotton disease , as per original question can...

Here's a pic of the lump (left hand side) the spots on the right hand side of the image are his markings.

I have a tank of 4 African cichlids. Never had any problems with them in 3 years. One has grown larger than the others and has taken a habit of bullying another which I assume has lead to stress and picked up some kind of infection. I don't think it's ich or it's not cotton looking, just one...

Noticed this morning one of my fish breathing heavily which was unusual as I have had the healthy tank 4 years with no problems at all. I then noticed my air stone wasn't working, I was about to turn the valve on my filter to increase water movement and noticed this wasn't on either!, They are...

https://fishlab.com/how-to-cycle-aquarium/ ?That is also a very helpful and easy to understand way of cycling the tank. WITHOUT fish. As you have a betta already however your options are: - Attempt to cycle it with your betta (sorry but it will most likely die) -Return the betta and cycle...

Good to support the small businesses! However unfortantely you do need to create or "grow" good bacteria in your tank to make your fish have the ability to live. This cannot be done in a couple of days or with chemicals etc. There are Hardy fish on the market that can be used to make a fish...

Hi, yes incoming, just noticed he has stringy white poo also, but as I say he hasn't been eating like he usually does.
