    Just wondering if this is ich or fungus? (Pics below) My first thought was ich but there’s a few slightly bigger spots (like near his dorsal fin) that make me wonder if it’s a fungal infection. Or possibly both? Is there a way to treat it without isolating the fish? Currently my only spare tank...

    1. Size of tank? 10 Gallon 2. Water parameters a. Ammonia? 2.0 (didn't realize it was so high... I checked it every week since we first got the tank with the exception of the past couple weeks.

    I bought 4 black neon tetras and eventually they got ich and died. Just 4 days after my purchase. It sucked. My aquarium is in a air conditioned room but the weather here is tropical. AC is not hitting my AQ directly it's pointed in another direction. AC is not always on only at night sometimes...

    I introduced three new fish (clown loaches) without putting them in quarantine first. I feel like a massive idiot. The next morning after adding the loaches, I noticed one of them had some white specks I hadn't seen the day before. I've never had ich in my tank, but recognized it right away...

    I just got a serpae tetra in a little tank from a friend who said that the fish wouldn't die and he was tired of it. It his tank, the fish went in the car from his house to my house. Unsurprisingly, he was acting weirdly, swimming in place in a back corner of the tank. Later that day he started...

    I have a mixed community tank and a few days ago noticed a single white spot on the head of one of my black mollies. I took a photo to the local shop who said it was white spot, having never had this in the tank yet I assumed they knew what they were talking about and got the treatment they...

I always check my fish before I put them in the tank but somehow I managed to let this guy get in there with two spots of ich on him. over the course of a few days, I slowly raised the temperature up to 86. He has had three salt bathd and only...

    We have got white spots on our tank. They are largish and almost like snowflakes. We DO have snails and it could be eggs, and I'm considering the possibility of Ich, but there isn't any white spots on the fish. Any help is appreciated.

    Last time when I bought my two original clown loaches, one of them must have had some ich, which went undetected and it spread to my entire tank! The loaches got Very sick but thankfully with some TLC and the heat method, They just barely pulled through. While all of my other fish had maybe 2-3...

    I ordered two rice fish (Oryzias woworae) and they each have white spots that are not ich. The spots look a bit too large for ich,(although still small of course) for one thing. For another thing, there are only two spots on each fish. I have not run across this before. The spots are almost...
