I am not seeing any Redding to edge's of the fin that would indicate fin rot what I would do is add some Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties and monitor for now @Cam

Yes cardinal tetra can get neon tetra disease
-
You can get similar symptoms with neon tetra disease I can't say for sure that what's going doesn't look like a fungal infection to me what I would do is a full course of maracyn give an update after 5 days if your seeing no improvement @mdd1986
-
Could be be bacterial infections with secondary fungal infection fungal infection the combination of maracyn2 and ick x will treat any possible bacterial or fungal infections @CosmicSquid
-
Leave a low dose of salt in there 1 table spoon for 5 gallons that will aid Gill function and add essential electrolytes
-
Could be a bubble nest as your as no ammonia if you have zero nitrites @Cinnebuns then I think it would be worthwhile doing a course of kanaplex just in case there's a bacterial component I would also add some Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties
-
Leave it 24hr after the last dose before doing a water change
-
1 table spoon for 5 gallons shouldn't harm your plants mystery snails can be sensitive to salt I would remove the snail while treating with salt

I have see these white spots on Bettas before they usually clear with aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 5 gallons and Indian almond leaves if the spot gets bigger I would up the amount of aquarium salt to 1 table spoon for 2 gallons @GoofyGarra

How long has it had the lump and does it have a fuzzy appearance

Could be ammonia burn to the Gill's that why it's hanging at the surface keep up with the water changes and add extra air stones to increase level's of desloved oxygen if you don't have live plant aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 1 gallon will help with nitrite poisoning it will help to block nitrite uptake though the Gill's
-
Could be an injury could be bacterial I think it would be worthwhile quarantining him and doing course of kanaplex and aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 3 gallons the salt will add essential electrolytes and aid Gill function @Denise T

If more fish are coming down with symptoms it best to treat all of them in tank
-
I wouldn't treat unless your seeing any symptoms medication can be very stressful for fish I would just monitor for a minimum of 4 weeks and make sure it's eating and active treat with the appropriate medication if you see any symptoms @Covina_fishguyto answer your question paracleanse maracyn are fine if I remember rightly it recommends a half dose of ick X for more sensitive fish
-
I would move any fish showing symptoms to quarantine and treat
-
Looking at your water parameters nitrite of 1ppm and possible low level of ammonia is the cause of what your seeing what I would do is test daily if your detect any ammonia or nitrite than I would do a 50% water change and add a double dose of prime to help detoxify any ammonia and nitrite till it constantly stays at zero @Thundercracker
-
What are your water parameters ammonia nitrite nitrate pH KH GH temperature
-
Looks like epistylis that feed's off of gram negative bacteria on the slime coat of your fish and spreads more quickly at higher temperatures the most effective treatment is a course of maracyn2 in food feeding a small amount twice a day for 7 days and ick x or you can use aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons with maracyn2
-
I have kept and bred bristlenose for 20 years pH of 9 or above I don't think will be conducive to long term success they can live in higher pH they won't thive long term I don't think you will get a lot of breeding success with the higher pH I keep mine in pH of 6.8-7 and KH 3 GH 4 @Ben P.

As you live in Canada I would up the salt to 1 table spoon for 1 gallon for two weeks
-
It could be developing scoliosis that really common in liverbears you usually see it more often in the long fined liverbears such as guppies I would quarantine her I can see a red patch on the side that could have a bacterial component what I would do is treat with aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons and do a course of kanaplex or maracyn2 @Hally M.
