[Hello. I'm new and would love some help.]

As I said in the other post maracyn2 is what I would treat with if after a full course of treatment your seeing no improvement give an update @CarrieB

[Platy with white growth on scales and Cory Doras with bump on head]

What I would do is get some new test strips or lmiquid test kits they are more accurate your KH and pH are to low for platys if your test strips are right what I would do is add crushed coral to your substrate or in a media bag in your filter you will have to add one pound of crushed coral per 10 gallons that will gradually raise your KH and pH spots look raised that could be epistylis that feeds off of gram negative bacteria on the slime coat of your fish and spreads more quickly at temperatures effective treatments are dose the tank with  ick X and do a course of maracyn2 not maracyn in food @CoolCats

[Betta with weird scale texture on head.]

I have seen Bettas develop texture changes to the scale it can be the start of a tumor or benign growth sometimes it has a genetic component what i would do is monitor for next couple of weeks don't  treat with methylene blue or salt bath it will be unnecessary stressful and it won't have any effect then give an update if he gets worse or his behaviour changes 

[Columnaris or saprolegnia or something else?]

 given the length of time it's been going on a bacterial infection like columnaris would have killed your fish by now possible neon tetra disease and fact another neon tetra is developing a spot on it's chin makes this more likely @Alisa23

Hi everyone. I'm new to the world of finny friends (about 7 months in), and I could really use some help. It all started when my fiancé's son took in a very sick betta. After nurturing him back to health and seeing him recover, I was hooked. I set up my own 5g tank with a betta and a couple otos. Eventually I added two mystery snails and an African dwarf frog. Yes, I over crowded! Lesson learned. Anyway, my frog, Snoop Frog, started bullying my betta. I got my new 10g up and cycling asap. Once it was ready (0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 10 nitrates) I moved my betta, otos, and my fiancé's two otos into my 10g. All was well for a very short time. My betta's tail was in bad shape but he seemed happier. Then one evening his gill was sticking out and in the morning he was gone. The otos seem so happy! But last night I noticed discolored spots on one (columnaris?) and a white nose with something growing on it on another. Also! Snoop Frog (still in my 5g)(yes, I was going to get him froggy friends) now has a lump on the left side of his belly. I'm so devastated! No one seemed sick at all, other than my betta's poor tail, then all of a sudden, everyone from that tank is sick. I feel like I let them all down. I'm not sure how to medicate. Half of my tank is planted in stratum, the other half gravel. The other two otos seem fine.... I want to be a good fish mom so bad. Can anyone help me save these little guys before it's too late?

Could have a bacterial component the picture quality not the best I would air on the side of caution and do a course of maracyn2 active ingredient minocycline won't harm your frog  add an extra air stone during treatment 

[Neon Tetras and Dwarf Gourami]

Could bacterial component spots look raised could Also be deal epistylis that feeds off of gram negative bacteria on the slime coat of your fish and spreads more quickly at higher temperatures  what I would do is a course of maracyn in food feeding a small amount twice a day for 7 days as you have it on way  and  dose the tank with ick X I would Also get holed of maracyn2 just in case you need to follow up @Acohen

[Lump on Gourami!]

Update: 

He’s all better now!!! It was definitely just intestinal blockage. I woke up this morning and noticed the lump was completely gone, and a pretty big mess was left in the tank. Thankfully it’s my water changing day!

If this becomes a recurring issue I would look at what your feeding 

[Does this look like internal parasites?]

@mountaintoppufferkeeper has a lot of useful information on puffers maybe he can  help what are you seeing to suspect a parasitic infection @Attack_muffin

[Rainbow fish lump]

With rainbow fish they are very susceptible to mycobacterium it can cause lesion and lumps I can't say for sure that's the cause it could have a bacterial component what I would do is  quarantine and do a course of kanaplex that's a broad spectrum antibiotic treatment @wfv

Is there a specific Epsom salt brand I should buy?

Just plane non scented Epsom salt 

[Lump on Gourami!]

On 4/22/2024 at 9:23 PM, Mikon77 said:

Yes, his other side looks perfectly normal.

It still could be an intestinal blockage if it were a growth it wouldn't have gotten that big in 24hr I would still fast and monitor if you notice any other symptoms or he gets worse give me an update 

[Lump on Gourami!]

On 4/22/2024 at 9:09 PM, Mikon77 said:

Ok, thank you! I’ll hold off on feeding him then. I’m just worried it may be something very serious, especially since the lump wasn’t there yesterday. 

Is the lump only one side 

[Goldfish Mystery Disease]

Looks like over production of the slime coat that can be caused by poor water quality parasitc infection sudden change in temperature malnutrition what temperature your tank any rapid breathing hanging out near the surface flashing what are you feeding and how often do you use a water dechlorinator when doing water changes @ChriFry

 

 

[Cotton Wool Disease?]

Looks like an injury to the fin I would add some aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 3 gallons for a week just remember to only put back in what you take out so if you do a 3 gallon water change put 1 table spoon of salt back in as salt only removed though water changes and monitor give an update if you notice it get worse I would test your ammonia just in case something off @MissAbby

[Male Medaka Rice Fish Anus Sticking out]

The most effective treatment for a prolapse is epsom salt baths 1 table spoon for 1 gallon for no more than 15 minutes for 5 days as Epsom salt acts as a muscle relaxant to help reabsorb the prolapse or you can quarantine and add a lower dose of epsom 1 table spoon for 3 gallons for 5 days @Potaqua

[Lump on Gourami!]

Could be bloated due over eating  or constipated what I would do is fast for a couple of days to see if the bloating goes down @Mikon77

[What’s on my fish?]

I thought I sent this last night but am I swapping the jungle and kan for the maracyn2 and repeating the treatment for 2 sets totaling 10 days?

What I would do is a full course of treatment do a 50% water then do a second course of maracyn2 

[Mistake and its consequences…]

It could be ammonia burn to the Gill's what I would do is add a small amount of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 10 gallons that will aid Gill function and add essential electrolytes add an extra air stone if you have some cycled media from another tank I would add that to your filter UV sterilisers only kill bacteria and viruses in the water column not on surfaces that highly unlikely to kill your benefial bacterial @Marie

[Treating what I thought was Epistylis with ParaCleanse, but might be Ich?]

What i  would do as your not seeing spots on your last fish stop treating with ick X and do a large water change and start a course of kanaplex it's a more broad spectrum antibiotic treatment dose the tank just in case there's a secondary infection going on as i said it's very unusual to lose that many fish  from ick or epistylis with the treatment you were using @Kristina

My vote is corydoras sodalis

Could be sodalis looks very similar

Thanks Colu!  Can I treat the whole tank? I have 2 other ranchus and snails in with Almond. 

You could quarantine and treat as Kanaplex can be harmful to snails or you could remove the snails and treat the main tank

Today (Sunday) is the fourth treatment with the ICH-X and the Maracyn in the food.  I have lost 13 of my 15 cichlids.  How many days in a row should I continue treating the tank with the ICH-X?  Until I no longer see spots?  One of the two has no interest on eating at all.

Its unusual to lose that many fish from ich that what it looks like to me the spots don't look raised usually you would treat with ick X for three days he fact your also using an antibiotic treatment in food would cover all bases do you have any other medications to hand 

[Growth near goldfish tail]

With the Redding possible bacterial infections causing inflammation what I would do is a course of kanaplex it's a broad spectrum antibiotic treatment and add an extra air stone during treatment @LoriG

@Colu Well, I didn't expect it to happen so fast, but she already reabsorbed her uterus so that is great. I'm assuming she should stay in the hospital tank for the week and follow the no food for 5 days as well? I just wanted to share the good news and thank you for your help again.

Yes no food for the next 5 days then you can start to feed
