sick

Hi, So I recently noticed some white cotton-ish growth on my male BN, around his gills - started on only one side and then quickly became evident on the other side too. I immediately took some photos and went to my LFS who suggested its probably a fungus (i suspected this!). I purchased some...

I noticed at the weekend it was swimming close to the surface and not really moving around, the stomach seems very bloated and it’s swimming really strangely. I also noticed a few red marks on the tail, i can’t tell if it’s been ripped or whether it’s red spot? I tried my best to take some...

Hi everyone! I am posting because I have run into a situation I cannot find a solid solution or explanation for. I have a 55 gallon tank with 1 Veiled Angelfish, 4 platy, 3 albino corydora catfish, a small population of Ramshead Snails, and 1 Raphael Striped Catfish. I do 35-40% water changes...

Hi y'all! I noticed that my female speckled Molly has a little bulge on her belly, particularly her left side. She is a little stretched and these scales seem white, with a little gray discoloration (see pics) Water: nitrate/nitrite 0 PH is 7.5 Ammonia 0 Take has been established since October...

Afternoon all, As of this morning one of my guppies in the 87l tank has started swimming almost vertically, tail down, mostly in the corner of the tank but sometimes out in the middle. He seems capable of swimming normally. If one of the other fish comes over and gives him a nudge, he'll set...

I am in desperate need of help. Our favorite fish, a dwarf gourami, is in a hospital tank and in dire need of treatment or euthanasia. He had been showing signs of some kind of spots all over for a few months. No treatments of ich worked and no other fish in the tank had any of his...

I've had my Scuba Doo, my black moor, for about 8 months. Super happy and healthy little guy. I've noticed a white spot/growth on what looks like the anus area. I've looked it up and read other people's posts, and some say something about spawning? He's the only one in the tank though, so that's...

Hi im new to the forum and I've made a account as im trying all i can to remedy the situation as best i can and any advice would be great. Basically, over the last 6 months and lockdowns, i got back into fishkeeping. Everything was going very well i had a happy 130 litre/35 US gallon tank with...

I've had my betta for months now and have changed nothing in my routine, but lately he has developed white spots on his left face and top of his back (and a few other places that didn't show up well in photos, all small). I've seen posts of somewhat similar conditions being aggressively deadly...

Hey everyone. I rescue fish in my area and I got a message today asking if I could take in 30+ endler guppies and 5 neon tetras, most or all with bad fin rot. I have dealt with fin rot in bettas before with salt baths and lifeguard all in one. But is it the same for these guys? Any tips on how...

I’ve noticed my cardinal tetra, Timothy, is looking a little tubby. I was wondering if he is actually a pregnant girl or if he is constipated

It's a sunset platy and I'm pretty sure he doesn't have ick but I can't be too sure. Anyone think they know whats up with him? I'm really worried if it is a disease he'll infect my other fish and (my favorite) clown pleco. Please help!

Hi all, I am fairly new to the fish hobby and I have noticed that one of my Dwarf Gourami seems to have scales missing on their head. What could be causing this? I don't think they are being bullied because the tank is very peaceful (2 x dwarf gourami, 2 x albino corydora, 6 x neon tetra, 6 x...

Hey guys. This is sally. Is there something wrong with her? She’s always been kind of round but i just want to make sure there isn’t something up. Sorry about some photo bombs, my mollies like attention lol. I know her tail is messed up, she jumped out of the tank awhile back ?

Hi, I am looking for some advice. As shown in the pictures, my flowerhorn has just started excreting white lumps. I am not sure if this is normal or if this is the start of an illness. He is eating well and looks to be in full health (no body/fin damage). I have not changed his diet (other than...

One of my mollies has been hiding a lot for the past 2ish days. Today when she finally moved enough for me to see her, she was white on her underside near her head, she is normally completely orange. None of my other fish are acting odd or are having discoloration and I'm not sure what is wrong...

Hi everyone, My betta is clamping it’s fins and seems to be acting strangely. He is very lethargic, resting on the gravel for long periods and his fins seem like they have been nipped. He is in a tank with 6 neon tetras and some shrimp. I haven’t seen the tetras annoying him nor have I seen him...

I got my mystery snail three weeks ago, he’s very active and overall seems to be pretty healthy. The other day when he was climbing on the side of the tank I noticed he had an orange lump. I can’t see it all the time, it really depends on what he’s doing. I’ve been trying to figure out what it...
