injury

I have a female betta sorority tank with 4 females. I went away for the weekend but they were being fed while I was gone. My alpha female now has badly shredded fins, is struggling to swim, labored breathing and mostly on the bottom of the tank. I did take her out and placed her in a smaller...

Hi,   I have an injured mumba from an attack.  I have had him in my QT tank for the last 2 days and have been treating with melafix.  A friend spotted him laying down in the sand in my mbuna tank.  He wasnt moving much when i put him in my QT tank, but now he is moving better.  His fins are all...

Recently my husband decided he wanted to start a North American Native tank & we have received 5 young (probably 1 week - 4 week old) Green Sunfish. In attempt to have 1 less tank in the house (yeah..right.  ) We decided to add our shubunkin koi to the tank (5)  because we had heard of people...

So I came home tonight to see one of my neon tetras floating strange. It was asleep but they normally are tucked into the plants. On close inspection is saw that he was missing an eye! All that was left was a bloody socket :( Tank mates are: Severum Geophagus Rams White cloud minnows guppies...

Hello everyone,   In my community tank I have a bala shark with what I believe to be an injury on its nose. Other family members state it was not there two days ago. The injury is about 2mm wide. If I had to describe it, I would call it a burst blister. Opinions sought and much appreciated.  ...

Hello everyone! I'm Taylor, dog trainer, horse trainer, and (newbie) fish hobbyist. I need your help. I've recently had to isolate a Danio because she has lost her entire Caudal fin and part of her Anal fin. I purchased a small isolation box and have had her in it for 48 hours now, she is...

I have a small castle in my 10 gallon tank, and noticed that one of my danios was stuck in one of the holes. When I removed her from it, she had worn off her tail and some side fins and is now sitting in the bottom of the tank. There are three other danios and one black molly with her, but they...

My 4 yr old stuck his hand in Jack's aquarium and swished around the water. I chastised him and made him clean his hands while I cleaned up the water spilled everywhere (because ironically my son is allergic to fish). Once everything settled down, I took a look at Jack and realized he is missing...

I was holding the bucket as I had to use a smaller length of tube to siphon the water due to my father placing my regular tube elsewhere. As you can imagine, holding a bucket with one hand when it's quickly filling with water isn't a good idea, so I was shouting for my mother to quickly come and...

What to do!! When I checked the tanks this morning was surprised to see a large red mark on the side of the adult female platy. She seems ok in herself, just injured. I suspect she'd been attacked by one/some of the 5 month old platy fry as their older sibling started a fight with adult male...

Last night I saw 2 of my platys getting a bit aggressive with each other, didn't think much of it. All I thought was the female wanted to be alone and she was nudging the male away repeatedly when he kept coming back. Checked my fish this morning as I do, checking if everyone is alive... Back...
