  1. Good evening! So, I’ve been treating my tank for months, trying to help everyone get healthy. I did three rounds of the Aquarium Co-op meds trio and now I’m trying the API General Cure. I just administered the second dose and one Platy had this poop. It looks like white bumps. See photos, please. Is there any chance I can assume this is the parasite finally leaving her body? Any info is so greatly appreciated.
  2. Hello! I’m hoping someone can help me with my female Platy. Today, she didn’t eat and I noticed that her belly/sinus looks odd. She did have a very dark gravid spot until today, but now it’s kind of pink and it looks like her insides are starting to bulge out of her anus. The very strange thing is that this happened to another one of my female Platy fish a few weeks ago. She passed and I thought it was some kind of prolapse. In this tank are three Plath Fish, three Skirt Tetras, three Angelfish, a bristlenose and a bunch of various snails. It’s a 75 gallon planted tank kept consistently at 78 degrees. I’ve included pictures of my water parameters and the sick Platy. I’m sorry I couldn’t get better photos of her. She’s staying at the very back of the tank. Thank you so much, in advance!
  3. Hello, everyone! I have a group of three angelfish that get along great together. They live in a 75 gallon tank with some platy fish and tetras. Can I add a few more angelfish to this established group? Thank you so much!
  4. Hi, everyone! This is my first post here and I’m so glad this forum exists. I’ve been struggling with facebook, trying to get help for my male betta. Problems started about two weeks ago. He became very lethargic and was staying in his cave all the time, but it seemed like he was having trouble staying down, like swim bladder issues. It’s progressed to the point that he is at the surface, turned on his side, all the time. He’s still interested in food and can swim okay to get to it. But, the tips of his fins are a little bloody, though the water parameters are good. Could it irritate his fins to be just floating there like that all the time? Also, I’ve tried fasting him for two days and it didn’t have any effect. I just finished the first round of Cory’s recommended meds trio, minus the Ick-X because he’s so weak. There’s been no improvement. The only other creatures in his tank are ramshorn and pond snails. I’m including a photo showing the sand substrate, which seems overly dirty. Maybe from the snails? Could this be irritating him? Every time I gravel vac, it’s back in a few days. Thank you so much to anyone who can offer help. I hate to see him like this, but I really want to believe there’s still hope. He’s not very old at all and is normally such an active, engaging boy. 10 gallon tank, sponge filter, heater set to 80 degrees ammonia-0ppm Nitrite and nitrate-both 0ppm KH is 40ppm GH is 120ppm pH-6.9 All tests done with API and Tetra test strips. He is fed a rotation of Fluval Betta Bites, Tetra BettaMin and I just started introducing frozen brine shrimp, which he’s had once.
