  1. When it's in one one eye it's usually caused by an injury what I would do is add some Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties if you notice no improvement after a couple of day or its getting worse then I would treat with kanaplex in food feed a small amount twice a day for 7 days
  2. Sorry to hear your still having problems after you have finished the course of kanaplex I would follow up with a course of NALADIN hopefully that will do the trick
  3. It's difficult to tell I wouldn't manual remove it with it so close to the eye you could Qarantine and treat with maracyn2 active ingredient is minocycline that has proven effective at shrinking some types of lumps
  4. Included more vegetable matter in their diet feed some crushed peas spirulina flakes that should help
  5. Possible golden pencil fish nannostomus beckfordi
  6. If you haven't add any new neon Tetra's for over a year it could be Columnaris the best treatment is kanaplex and jungal fungas clear fizz tabs containing nitrofurazone together following this treatment schedule using jungal fungas clear fizz tabs instead of furan2 as it has been discontinued it could also be neon tetra disease in that case theirs not a lot treatment wise I could recommend @KentFishFanUKas your based in the UK high levels of salt 1 table spoon for 1 gallon and Sera baktopur direct tables active ingredient is nifurpirinol a broad spectrum antibiotic is an effective treatment for Columnaris
  7. Possible black spot recommend treatment is praziquantel that the active ingredient in prazipro it's possible it pigmentation I don't have a lot of experience with shell dwellers
  8. Doesn't look like Dropsy looks like bloating due to over eating or constipation I would fast for a couple of days if she still bloated after that I would do an Epsom salt bath 1 table spoon for 2 gallons for no more than 15 minutes twice a day for a couple of days as Epsom salt acts as a muscle relaxant that will help with constipation if she's egg bound it help her to release the eggs
  9. I usually add a media bag to my filter with crushed coral you do have to top it up as it desolves over time you can also so mix it into your substrate as well to help raise your kH
  10. Betta macrostoma Brunei will colour up are really beautiful fish wild Bettas have stunning colours
  11. I would try and get your nitrates lower than 40ppm you can also get bent spine's in guppies due to lack of minerals and scoliosis due to bad genetics your kH is on the low side for guppies they like 70-140ppm I would add some crushed coral to gradually increase your kH and monitor them for now
  12. I use to breed.panda Cory's in 15 gallon species tank with most of the tank covered in a thick layer of Javan moss I didn't notice them eating the eggs much I had lots of fry from that tank you you could remove the eggs to maximize the amount of fry you get with a good layer of moss you will always get a good number of fry surviving
  13. Bent spine can be caused by nitrate poisoning have your nitrates been higher then 50ppm
  14. What I would do is treat with paracleanse and maracyn together to cover all bases just in case it parasitic or bacterial infection @Kim Nancarrow
  15. If your not seeing any improvement after a full course of maracyn and ick x I treat with Jungal fungas clear fizz tabs containing nitrofurazone
  16. It could be fungal infection what I would do is treat with maracyn and ick x together that combination is effective at treating fungal infections
  17. I think doing a salt baths will just stress him out at this point I would just monitor and add the almond leaves if it gets worse you could do aquarium salt bath 1 table spoon for 1 gallon for no more than 15 minutes
  18. It's possible their an underlying disease or its the apistogramma killing them have you noticed any flashing white stringy white poop rapid breathing as most habrosus Cory's are wild caught it could be a parastic infection that why your gradually losing a Cory every so often
  19. What are water parameters ammonia nitirtes etc it's possible he's suffering from Popeye when it affects both eye's it usually caused by a bacterial infections bought on by poor water quality or an underlying disease Frist check your water parameters just in case anything off then I do a course of kanaplex if he's still eating you can add it to his food feeding a small amount twice a day for 7 days
  20. Looks like an injury I would add some Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties to help him heal you will need to add 1 leaf per gallon to get a Beneficial effect and monitor
  21. It could be the start of Fin rot caused by missed ammonia or nitirte spike what I would do is add some Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties you have add 1 leaf per gallon to get the benefial effects and a small amount of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 5 gallon at that level it shouldn't ha your if after a couple of days you notice his fin get worse than I would treat with kanaplex in food feed a small amount twice a day for 7 days
  22. Sudden death can be caused by internal bacterial infections or parasites have you noticed any rapid breathing stringy white poop any flashing are they eating ok have long have you had the fish before they start dieing
