disease

This betta is in really bad shape, I've never seen a fish with fin rot this severe. So I got the fish a little over two weeks ago from a prof at my university who uses Betta in behavior studies. When I got him he was already missing about 50% of his fins from a previous bout of fin rot but the...

My goldfish has gotten fat over the past few weeks very quickly and i cant tell if it has a disease, bloating or is pregnant. Its been going on for at least 2 months. She is a comet goldfish so the belly shows. Her scales are not puffy and she does not have symptoms like dropsy. She is swimming...

Hello all!   So I woke up this morning feeling refreshed and like all was well with the world. I stepped outside my bedroom and BAM! I instantly noticed than my Firemouth Cichlid seemed to have a white, indented dot on his head. I'm fearing the worst, but I really want someone to prove me...

After a few years lay-off I set up a community tank 6 months ago with Dwarf & Honey Gouramies, Chequer Barbs, Angels and Mountain Minnows. About 15 juvenile fish. The symptoms are a wasting of the fin edges consistent with fin-rot, also ulceration at the base of the tail causing the tail to...

Okay, before I post anything, please note that I know how stupid I am for having two Gourami's in a ten gallon. I know I should get a 20 gallon, but I didn't have enough money to get it, and the needed equipment, like a filter, heater, and decor. So please do not even think of saying anything...

I have a platy that is almost an adult living in a pretty healthy 20 gallon. I just noticed now that they have 3 white patches across the body. At first I thought that maybe it was like some diseases that resemble cotton on the body, but it doesn't look like that. It looks more like the scales...

Hi, So i've recently bought a group of ~6 neon tetras for my planted 10 gallon aquarium and I've ran into a few problems as of recently: 1.One of my tetras has already died, possibly from stress, but i tried acclimating them in the aquarium water mixed with the stores for an hour. There weren't...

I have three new Angel fish (approx 5cm height) which after two weeks in the tank appear to be showing signs of fin rot. I have looked at the usual suspects - water quality, overfeeding, temperature, overcrowding and conclude it is probably stress-related, following their introduction into the...

Hi everyone, first of all I'd like to apologize because I don't know some proper terms, english is not my mother tongue. I would really appreciate if someone would give my advice, my loach is letargic and has white "smears" on his back. The disease seems to also have attacked his gills because...

My German Blue Ram has had a cloudy eye and protruding white mass for some time now (see pictures). Two weeks ago I posted asking for help on the issue and decided to treat with herbal tonics (pimafix and melafix by API). After the recommended dosing I saw no change so I purchased some...

Here are pictures: He's also lost colour, any idea what this could be? In the past he had growths near his mouth but I think they were harmless as they went away on their own.

My Serpae (or red minor tetras) seem to have white spots on them but each only seems to have one on their mouth or near there. Could someone identify if it is a disease or if it needs to be treated at all?  Tank size: 55 gallons pH: 7.0 ammonia: 0 nitrite: 0 nitrate: 0 tank temp: 74 Degrees...

What is Wrong With My Poor Dalmatian Mollie? Can Somebody please help me with knowing what is wrong with my Dalmatian Mollie? A month and a half ago I found her swimming like this, so I put her in a separator net. While she was in the net, I treated all the fish with clear all tablets...

Hi! I am really worried about one of my tanks!  In the last week I've had 3 harlequins die. the first two showed no symptoms but the last one had a white fuzz on its face/side of body.  That one only died yesterday so I havent had time to get out and get any meds yet, I've been adding a low...

Hello all, see the attached photos of white bumps that have appeared near my male Ram Cichlid's mouth.   I don' believe it is ich because they protrude quite far. The first one showed up about two weeks ago and the second bump just started to form. I'm not really sure how to proceed with it. Can...

Our female gourami got these lesions on her back. I'll try to upload a photo. Please help. Many thanks. 

few days back i noticed white spots on my red oranda goldfish.  my LFS told me to use thermostat.  i did the same and that fish died.  after that i noticed the same on my red tail shark.  i guess it's suffering from fin rot disease.  i am also putting a picture of the shark.  i dont know how to...

Hello everyone please could someone help. One of my male guppies is missing parts of his tail fin and red around the missing areas. I have looked online for other views but all opinions seem to vary. Any help will be greatly appreciated.   Tank size: 90L (23.7USG) pH:8.2 ammonia:0 nitrite:0...

Hey all,   I have a Silver Dollar that has been struggling with what I assume to be swim bladder disease. He spends his time frantically swimming towards the surface just to stay buoyant.    It's been over a month since he started doing it. I have tried epsom salts, feeding green peas and...

Hello, first time poster here. Sorry if this has been covered, I haven't had a chance to lurk just yet. Anyway, my little fighter, Mogwai, has just started spotting some kind of growth (looks pus like) and I'm just wondering if anyone could let me know what's happening and what I should do...
