  1. If you can't get Methylene blue locally you would have to order it online from what your describing with the open wound red and fluffy appearance peeling scales she has a slim chance at recovering I think it would be better to humanely euthanize her with clove oil to put her out of pain sorry I couldn't be more helpful
  2. No you can't get kanaplex and Jungle fungus clear fizz tab's in Canada what I would do is aquarium salt 1 table for 1 gallon and do Methylene blue baths and add some Indian almond leaves 1 leaf per gallon as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties
  3. Have you notice any rapid breathing hanging near the surface listlessness sunken belly's spitting food out @Renee C.
  4. You snails won't transfer the fin rot to your other tank when fin rot has turned into body it can be difficult to treat the most effective treatment I have found for more severe bacterial infection is kanaplex and Jungle fungus clear fizz tab's containing nitrofurazone following this treatment plan just increase it get to the point where you think she suffering he's some information on have to ethanize him with clove oil @Denied Taco
  5. I would say second one is maylandia lombardo kenyi cichlid not sure about the albino
  6. It could be the start of columnaris with the white patches that would explain the high mortality rate or an opportunistic fungal infection if only one fish is showing symptoms I would quarantine and treat with kanaplex and Jungle fungus clear fizz tab's containing nitrofurazone following this treatment plan if more than one fish has it than I would treat the main tank @Shotaling
  7. As it has cotton like appearance I would treat with a combination of maracyn and ick x it's effective treatment for fungal infection's
  8. Ich can cause secondary bacteria infection caused by damage to skin caused by the ich trophont I follow up with a course of maracyn @lmhicks101
  9. It's difficult to tell if it has a fuzzy appearance it looks like a growth what I would do is treat with maracyn2 active ingredient minocycline has anti-inflammatory properties in food and aquarium salt 1 table for 2 gallons the salt will help with any possible secondary fungal infection @Bowwow
  10. Dr uwe Romer cichlid altas vol1 and vol2 focus on south America dwarf cichlids with hundreds of apistogramma species
  11. You could treat your other fish I would do two rounds and of paracleanse and two rounds of levamisole if going down this root
  12. You could add some crushed to your filter to increase your KH
  13. Uv works to break the DNA chain's of bacteria and virus to stop them from reproducing I use a UV steriliser on my gold fish tank that had a persistent green water it completely eradicated the free floating algae I wouldn't trust it to completely kill all harmful pathogens in my aquarium
  14. I would add some aquarium salt 1 table for 3 gallons that will help reduce any possible fluid buildup and I would do a course of maracyn2 active ingredient minocycline has anti-inflammatory properties in food to help reduce the swelling
  15. I would just monitor him closely for the next week if you notice any other symptoms report back bloating is really common in Betta's it usually diet related I would feed him some live or frozen daphnia for a couple days to see if the bloating goes down
  16. Looks like a bad case of fin rot if it starts to turn into body rot then I would treat with kanaplex and Jungle fungus clear fizz tab's following this treatment plan I would only do that if your not seeing any improvement after a full course of kanaplex and salt I don't think ick x would be beneficial I would just go with salt and kanaplex for now
  17. White poop can poop with no food in it just the mucus lining have you notice any rapid breathing hanging near the surface listlessness sunken belly spitting food out flashing
  18. The aquarium co-op recommends treating with a combination of maracyn and ick x for fungal infection's
  19. Possible vorticella recommend treatment is salt baths
  20. I wouldn't recommend fish in a 2.5 gallon tank on a permanent bases I would just use it as shrimp and snail tank
  21. It difficult to tell off your picture can you get a better quality picture and what are your water parameters ammonia nitrite nitrate etc
  22. I would still treat with both as the initial dose of levamisole could have worked but you only start to see improvement a couple of days later when you have started treating with paracleanse
  23. With the symptoms your describing it could be old age or illness as he's not eating what I would do is a course of maracyn to cover against any possible bacteria infection maracyn won't effect your shrimp and snails and add a Small amount of aquarium salt 1 table for 5 gallons that will aid Gill function and add essential electrolytes to give him more energy and I would add some Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties depending on the quality of leaves you might have to add one leaf per gallon to get a benefial and add an extra air stone to increase levels of desolve oxygen @EvesFishJourney
  24. That should work I would add a hole every half inch
