Please help me. I have been fighting off Costia in my tank for about 3 days now. It seemed to be clearing up ok until now they have a very aggressive fin rot. I have no idea what to do at this point. I was told you shouldn't combine medications. Please help me. Also I am new to the forum so hello.

Hi, I'm new and very happy to be able to speak to people who understand how someone could fall in love with a fish! I bought my betta (Blu) for my son but quickly was very taken with him myself. Long, sad story short, he has finrot and is going downhill very quickly. I've treated him with...

So I have two bettas, one is a male crown tail and the other is a male veil tail. Both are in their own 1.5 gallon tanks both with silk plants.    The crown tail I purchased from wal mart and the veil tail i purchased from pet supply plus.      I know that 1.5 gallons is a bit small for a betta...

Hi, I'm really worried. My guppy that I've had for about 4 months in a 10 gallon with 4 other male guppies and nothing else is acting strange. I moved two guppies that had been in their own 5 gallon tank for 2 months over to my 10 gallon about 2-3 weeks ago. My guppy had a rocky relationship...

  Male Crowntail Betta I got a week and a half ago. I've been worrying he's sick and been keeping an eye on him the whole time. Today I happened to notice there was a bit missing and finally managed to get him to hold still and flare long enough to get a really bad phone picture. I really can't...

Hi all,   I found that my Socolofi had developed a red spot a week earlier. Despite doing water change and treating the fish with salt the red spot is increasing and now the fin is tearing apart. I have separated the fish however I dont know what to do. Please help me identify and cure this...

Pretty positive my betta Hades has fin rot.   I've tested the water this week and everything seems good. The nitrates even went down some from where it was. I did a big water change today and going to test the tank tomorrow.    I know I need to add more plants and such to keep the stress down...

I bought a new guppy for my tank Sunday, when I opened the bag I noticed it had a huge inflated abdomen and soon began trailing long white poo. I came home from work today and it was just sitting on the bottom if the tank and it's tail had disintegrated! I have no idea what's happening but all...

My betta has been sick since I got him. He's pure white and has started to form red dots on his tail. Now his tail is disappearing. I thought maybe its fin rot an I asked the pet shop and they have no idea. They suggested I use a broad spectrum medicine made by wardly, can't remember what it's...

I just took a picture of my betta and it looks as if he has fin rot, either that or his tail is recovering from fin rot because it is a dull black colour, completely different to his greeny/blue red colour. i only bought him yesterday and did not notice this till now. it is not possible to...

I have a tank full of platys and guppies, a two or three guppies have died over the past few months due to old age. So i bought 5 new ones today from the lfs, 3 females and 2 males. ( ratio of all guppies in my tank are 3:1) in the lfs the males and females are kept seperately, i noticed after a...

Hi, I have a serpae tetra that I just bought from the pet store a few days ago.  I noticed that its fins are looking ragged, and it seems to have gotten worse over the past day or two.  Do you think this is fin rot?  Or aggression from a tankmate?  I haven't noticed any aggression, but of course...

Hi all, this is the recent journey of Bob, my old Siamese Fighter and his move to his retirement home.   Bob originally came to me after I picked up an old tank for £1 at a car boot in the South and then spent about £60 kitting it out!  When I first got him all his fins had been ripped off by...

Ok, not really rescues more like sympathy buys but... just look at them!   The story, skip ahead if you just wanna see the poor guys. I went to (store will remain unnamed, for the time being) and browsed the bettas. This store usually has all fish BUT bettas in good condition. I saw two...

Hello everyone! Here's the situation: one of my little guppies loves hiding in his fish houses, but it's shredding his tail a bit. I thought it was fin rot, but I've had fish with that before and this doesn't seem to be the case. His tail looks more like a separated feather, he's acting...
