    Neon tetra disease spreading in my tank!!!

    What do you think the other causes are? I haven't heard of anything else that would cause a fish to have a curved spine and chewed up fins.

    Neon tetra disease spreading in my tank!!!

    Hi, the two fish who looked sick have passed away. The others look healthy for now. Many other species of fish can actually catch the parasite such as barbs, rasboras and guppies.

    Neon tetra disease spreading in my tank!!!

    So, in my 15 gallon about 2 weeks ago one of my green neon tetras got sick with neon tetra disease. I removed it and put it into my shrimp tank. (Can shrimp get neon tetra disease?) It passed away later that day. Today I noticed one of my endler guppies was dragging himself along the sand...

    25 gallon tank stocking?

    Ok, thanks. Wouldn't a tank with just RO be too soft and have not enough minerals in the water?

    Question about cycling

    I shook the nitrate bottles quite well but maybe not enough. Yes there are quite a few of live plants in there and a tiny bit of algae on the glass

    Question about cycling

    It couldn't of been the stress coat because I poured the fish into a net so none of the shop water could of got into my tank. I do have a mini test kit that tests ammonia and nitrite should I test the water with that?

    Question about cycling

    So I have a 7.5 gallon tank that I set up about a month ago. 2 days ago I put in 1 pea puffer to do a fish in cycle as the tank wasn't cycled. But when I tested the water today the results were this: ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate : 5.0 Is this normal?
