    Sick Corydoras.

    This may sound stupid, but you used water conditioner during water changes right? (Just ruling out any possibility) And I feel you, I had awful luck with corys, losing them all despite having ideal water parameters, tank, and diet. They died one by one of the same thing almost instantly. I think...

    Tank Full Of Problems

    Well this might not be much help, but I experienced something similar with my corys a couple months ago. They started dying off one by one, each acting lethargic one week after another and then dying with no signs of illness. My water parameters were good too so I never found the cause.... I...

    Guppy Has A Reddish Brown Thing On The Edge Of His Tail

    Recently my guppy developed some weird red/brown edge to his tail almost instantly, like just over night. A couple months ago, he had been attacked by 3 new tetra's which I rehomed, so his tail was nipped pretty badly but I did salt baths 15-20 minutes a day for a week to prevent any possible...

    Deformed Tetra, Should I Euthanize?

    Okay, thank you. I will go ahead and bury him. Thanks again for everyone's help, wish I could have helped him sooner.

    Deformed Tetra, Should I Euthanize?

    Sadly I didn't euthanize him in time. Was going to give him one more day but found him either dead or near death this morning. Wasn't sure if he was fully dead so I used the clove oil anyways, just in case. Hopefully he passed peacefully. I usually bury my fish, but is it such a good idea in...

    Dying Cory Fish

    Don't remove the gravel, that could cause your tank's cycle to go wack since it has the good bacteria in it. It'll make your tank recycle which could cause more stress on the fish.

    Deformed Tetra, Should I Euthanize?

    Thank you for all your help, but unfortunately I have decided to euthanize him tomorrow with clove oil. He's gotten worse and is now struggling to eat, I think because of how messed up his spine is. The picture doesn't show exactly how bad he looks, but he's like an entirely different looking...

    Deformed Tetra, Should I Euthanize?

    Thank you very much, I'll set the QT tank up again and stop at the store either tomorrow or this weekend. Hopefully he can hang in there for a bit longer. Just curious though but is this similar to ich in that if one fish is infected, the whole tank needs to be treated?

    Deformed Tetra, Should I Euthanize?

    Okay which do you recommend?

    Dying Cory Fish

      Yep, I did half doses and daily water changes but something was triggered and the death began. The only thing I would recommend is just being extremely cautious, because I was well aware of what to do yet they still died. I would never use Kordon Plus with corys, even though it was the most...

    Dying Cory Fish

    I don't really have any advice but I just went through the same thing with all of my cories... I lost all 4 of them to the same thing. One day they were fine, the next they were either dead or going limp. Water parameters were fine, no external damages.... I think what caused their death may...

    Deformed Tetra, Should I Euthanize?

    He didn't sit at the bottom before I moved him into the QT. I  was thinking it could be fungus too but would that affect his spine and caved in stomach?

    Deformed Tetra, Should I Euthanize?

    Well isolation didn't help too much... He was extremely depressed looking and pretty much stayed on the bottom the whole time, and it was very hard feeding him since he couldn't really find the pellets. I moved him back to the main tank in the breeders net and I was able to see that the white...

    Deformed Tetra, Should I Euthanize?

    Well I have him in his own separate container with heater and filter since I first thought it was NTD and didn't want it spreading. Plus it's a lot more comfy than the breeders net I have, and he seems to be fine in the QT. One thing that concerns me is he's spending time at the bottom which he...

    Deformed Tetra, Should I Euthanize?

    I can't make a run to the store any time soon (Extremely busy this week and store is a bit far) so would giving him a mixture of shrimp pellets, flake food and maybe a wafer be okay? He's used to eating from the bottom since the bigger fish would dominate the top so he's used to being fed only...
