Most Annoying Disease

[chicklette]

I find ick to be the most annoying disease. It’s easy to get rid of it’s just a pain in the booty. Also parasites are very annoying.

I'm going to have to say anything that isn't treatable.

Well I have to agree, I guess all of them are anoying, LOL.

Ick is more common but they are hardier parasites to get rid of like flukes, velvet, internal parasites, some do more damage.

Velvet has to be the most annoying disease, by the time you can see the spots its already too late to save anything in the tank 90% of the time, i dread ever seeing that little dusting of gold speckles.

 

[chicklette]

Yes, vevet is really hard to get rid of, however, I have not had any fish that had it but I did read it;s stubbrn to get rid of.

crabs would be the most annoying disease I think, very itchy.

 

[chicklette]

What are crabs, I never herd of that.

 

[aluno]

dropsy, cant cure it and all you can do is watch your fish blow up and die away, shame

The un named disease that attacks BW tetra. Looks like cancer, but instead of the fish getting pale. They grow to be very shiny and very vibriant, but with black bloges on the body and growths.

I've only lost 1 fish to this, but I tried everything. Other people who have encountered this, also try everything. No one knows how to get rid of it and no one knows what causes it

Wonder what it was my black molly died from last night, he was lying at bottom of tank, and not well, then he kept flopping on his side, you could tell hde was dying, around his neck he was pale, kind of like black suede that goes a bit fady and bald, he also went really really thin? Any ideas?

Need more info.
Size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.

Was the fish still eating?
What does it look like when the fish go to the toilet.
Check the anus of the fish to see if its enlarged or red and inflamed.

A fish being really thin can mean a number of things.
Old age, internal parasites, fish tb, flukes, velvet.
