  1. I can see fuzzy appearance around the lips When you have fungus on the mouth it can spread rapidly stopping them from eating what I would do is treat with ick X active ingredient malachite green is effective at treating some types of fungal infections if it starts getting worse then then I would quarantine and treat with Jungal fungus clear fizz tabs
  2. Looks like a freshwater limpet they are harmless nothing to worry about
  3. Was looking in some of my books Indian ornamental fishes vol 1 by Heiko Bleher has information on a couple of species' and I just did some random internet searches can't remember the website name it was a couple of week ago @bryanisag

    Sick Saulosi

    You can use aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons for a week see how she doing I would make sure I had kanaplex to hand just in case it get worse
  5. Been reading up on these and there are 5 species spread over south Asia I don't no how often the other species are exported acantopsis rungthipae seem to be one that's readily available in the aquarium trade

    Could have been attacked by the male with the way the fins are shredded and redness to the side of the body what I would do is a course of kanaplex to prevent any secondary bacterial infection if you can put a divider in to sperate the male from the female while she heals @Spavilla

    Fish with dropsy

    medication are stressful to fish so I wouldn't use both at the same time as your using them as a preventive treatment I would treat with maracyn then follow up with prazipro with dropsy the most effective treatment I have found is aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons that will help reduce fluid buildup aid Gill function and add essential kanaplex to treat any possible internal bacterial infections and metroplex in food feeding a small amount twice a day for upto 3 weeks you can use maracyn in food instead of kanaplex if dosing the tank maracyn will only treat external bacterial infections @Gio,
  8. You could do it that way I don't think it will be more effective
  9. Just noticed you put you don't have a test I would get some 5-1 test strips and ammonia tests strips or the API test kit as @Whitecloud09
  10. You Add 5ml of prazipro for 20 gallons on day one after a large water change and leave it for 7 days then water change out the medication after 7 days
  11. Yes it could the ammonia poisoning can cause secondary bacterial infections and damage to the slime coat what exactly are your water parameters ammonia nitrite nitrate pH KH GH temperature
  12. Sorry to hear that Sounds like columnaris the way it's rapidly spread I would do a course of kanaplex and jungal fungus clear just to be on the safe side with your other fish even if they aren't showing symptoms it a very aggressive bacterial disease antibiotics would have taken a couple of days to get into the system and start working unfortunately it was to far gone for the antibiotics work in time
  13. You can get these black streaks in the tail with ammonia burn what your ammonia level
  14. If they still have clamped fins in couple of weeks and your water parameters are fine something else could be going monitor and give us an update if you have any issues
  15. Fish will often have periods inactivity as they have clamped fins hanging at the surface that can be a sign something of with there water parameters low KH or GH drop in pH your previously posted water parameters look fine it's possible it's a reaction to the medication if your not seeing much improvement after a course of maracyn2 and ick X what i would do is treat the tank with a course of kanaplex and dosing ick X once at the start of week and let it marinate while doing your course of kanaplex @cmo1922
  16. Check out planet catfish they a lot of useful information on zebra plecos @Loc Tran
  17. I wouldn't consider euthanizing your fish flukes can be treated with the appropriate medication and treatment intervals Jungal fungus isn't effective at treating flukes with prazipro you want to do 4 full courses of treatment two weeks apart so you would treat week 1 week 3 week 5 week 7 add the dose of prazipro on day 1 and leave it a week before water change it out
  18. You can get carbon sponges or pellets that you put in a media bag in your filter if it say it has active carbon remove and replace with a normal sponge pad
  19. If she's not eating dose the tank you can use general cure in food he's a recipe you can add a small amount of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 10 gallons that will aid Gill function and add essential electrolytes and add an extra air stone during treatment
  20. If your using any active carbon or seachems matrix take that out you can leave your sponge and biomedia while treating

    Ich? Fish lice?

    Possible viral infection it have a bacterial component what I would do is a course of Maracyn2 and add some aquarium salt back in 1 table spoon for 2 gallons @Nicole
  22. I would treat hole in head the first with metroplex ammonia harmful even at low levels if your seeing any ammonia I would do a water change and add a double dose of prime to help detoxify any ammonia till it constantly read zero with white stringy poop it's doesn't mean there's parasite it can be poop with no food in it just the mucus lining @Fishlover
  23. I would leave the salt in another week then give us an update
  24. What I would do is finish the course of erythromycin if your not seeing much improvement then I would follow up with kanaplex and jungal fungus clear fizz tabs
  25. Yes I would start treating with that now
