    Hy everyone! I've decided to post my own thread since I don't even know what to search for among the existent threads, cause I have no idea what is going on in my tank anymore :( . First of all I am a beginner, I set up my tank in august this year, it is a 52 l tank, with a few plants (1 moss...

    Hi Everyone, So I've had my male and female (definitely a female, I'm in the UK...) dwarf gourami for over a week now in my new tank with 6 cherry barbs. The tank hasn't cycled yet, but the values are being checked every day and are as follows: Ammonia: 0 - 0.5 Nitrites: 0 Nitrates: 0 I...

    My moms tank has cichlids, and some of them have fin rot. We put some medication in for fin rot and other diseases twice, and it didnt work. A few weeks later she bought the API Tetracycle medication and all of her fish, even the healthy ones, went to a corner of the tank and sat at the bottom...

    electric blue ram with ick and now finrot! So a couple weeks ago I brought home and upsidedown catfish friend for my other usd cat. I quarantined him for a day and did a methylene blue dip as an anti fungal but when he looked fine and frisky i added him to my 13 gallon, did a 30% water change...

    I bought an albino cory at a Petsmart about a year ago. He wasn't in the best condition, but I figured that once he went into a good tank, he would eventually heal up. Well, I've had this particular cory for about 1 year now, and he is not getting any better. His fins, especially his tail...

    One of my corydoras has fin rot on its tail and is acting lethargic. All levels are normal except for nitrates which are high (~50ppm)... I immediately did a 50% water change and am going out to buy some Melafix. Now I've read that daily water changes are important to bring the nitrate...

    One of my platies has come down with a bit of fin rot. I'm doing frequent water changes and read that treating with melafix and aquarium salt would probably clear it up. The only thing is I have cories in the tank and have heard that they are very sensitive to salt. My QT isn't done cycling so I...

    Hi, I'm new to fishkeeping, and this is my first post - although I've been raiding forum posts on here for a few weeks now, and they've been incredible helpful, or just downright interesting. I'm asking for help with my first major disease problem with my knee dwarf gourami. I got two of them...

    My corys have got red base on the fins at the moment which has come from my tetras which i can't get rid of. My cory got a cut the other week and now has caught it from the water. It seems to have spread to my other large corys. I have never used aquarium salt but just ordered some to hopefully...
  14. Beginner Planted Aquarium
    My male betta (in 3 gallon planted tank) is having problems with his fins-- it looks like he's been biting them, and holes keep appearing for some reason-- it's been getting a lot worse so I have decided to treat him with AQ salt in case there is a bit of fin rot involved, but there are a few...

    One of my zebra danio's tail seems to have parts of it missing from the top. He was in a 29 gallon tank that is still cycling. I noticed that he wasn't swimming around anymore and just laid at the bottom of the tank. I knew something was wrong so I put him back into my 10 gallon tank that has...

    Hi all, I'm new here. I noticed that my emerald catfish's dorsal fin seems to be torn. I'm worried it may be fin rot, but I haven't had any experience with that, so I don't know what it looks like exactly. All the pictures online look to be 'more advanced' cases. I've attached a picture. He...
