  1. That looks like ich I would treat with ick x and gradually raise the temperature to 80 as higher temperatures speed up the Life cycle and treat with ick x for 3 days after you see the last visible spots on your fish @Lee Pedersen1
  2. I would be suspicious of a bacterial infection what I would do is treat with maracyn2 in food add 1 quarter of a packet of maracyn2 1 scoop of seachems focus 1 table spoon of pellets one cap of seachems garlic guard and a few drops of water mix well feed twice a day for 7 days you can store any leftover medicated food in the fridge
  3. What I would do water change out the Expel p after the 24 hrs and as your on day six of the kanaplex follow up with another course of kanaplex you can do two courses of kanaplex back to back reddening more than likely bacterial infection if you have no ammonia present
  4. Only problems space at the moment I want some of the wild type guppys and do a blackwater tank with some licorice gourami as well I will have to see how much space I can get it gets addictive if I had the space I would probably have a hundred tanks
  5. It can take a while for the colour to come back in his fins sometimes the colour loss on the fins is permanent
  6. Odd swimming behaviour can be caused by parasites as you saw a white worm it could be tapeworms as you have shrimp and snails I would treat with paracleanse as it shrimp and snail safe you will have to do to course of treatment 2 weeks apart
  7. Welcome to the forum sorry to hear about your heater problems mollies are really colourful very enjoyable to watch a friend of kept a large group of sailfin Mollies they looked great in a large planted tank
  8. Welcome to the forum you have some nice tanks and fish
  9. Welcome to the forum I agreed plants should be added straight away
  10. definitely a young bristlenose I have hundreds of them at the moment
  11. If Their not eating and losing weight it could be wasting disease the spot could something unrelated or a secondary infection like Epistylis i would do a course of Expel p active ingredient levamisole if they start eating follow up with kanaplex in food
  12. Still look like he has some fin rot if he still lethargic he's probably still fighting an infection as you have add salt and Indian almond leaves and treated with maracyn and maracyn2 what I would do is course Kanaplex in food it's a more broad spectrum antibiotic treatment
  13. What I would do is gradually increase the temperature to 80F and do a course of kanaplex in food it more broad spectrum antibiotic treatment
  14. What's the temperature of your tank at and your ammonia levels as Betta do better at 80-82F long term to low of temperature can cause health problems
  15. I would Qarantine the mollies treat them separately if your other fish aren't showing any symptoms
  16. I found some feral guppy from Germany that are really colourful shouldn't really look up fish as I have limted space I think I can make enough room for a couple of 15 gallon tanks
  17. With how swollen the belly and redness can be caused by parastic infection the reddening could also be a bacterial infection it's possible that fish could have parasites and have developed a secondary bacterial infection what i would do a course of Expel p as it only requires one dose then I water change in 24hr then I would follow that up with another course of kanaplex if your seeing no improvement
  18. Am going to see if I can source some closer to home it might take me a while but I will get holed of some
  19. Betta are heavily inbred and often have poor health
  20. Colu

    Fuzzy shrimp

    General cure is shrimp and snail safe
  21. I think methylene blue drip would just stress him out more in his weaken state you can do daily water changes redose the kanaplex and you could try feeding a small amount of kanaplex in food as well at this point what have you got to lose
