  1. I have a comet and a black moor in a 10G tank. I don’t even know which is male or female. But I can see both have become very aggressive. They laid eggs. Look at the pictures. I am not even sure if they are fertilized. Is this even possible? Please suggest what to do. Should I move the two to a separate tank? My tank is full of eggs.
  2. From my experience with comets, they’re really really hardy fish. Generally they do great in at least pairs more the merrier but will need huge tanks. I would suggest bumping the temp to 82-84F. It makes them heal faster. They react badly with too much salt. I used 2 tbsps per 10 gallon with 25% water change every day for comets. But at warmer temperatures they’ll eat and dirty the tank like crazy. I would have suggested prazipro and salt. Generally they stop eating due to internal parasites. Salt would have treated for dropsy and prazipro would have taken out the parasites and warmer temps would have helped to heal faster. I am so sorry for your loss. Wish I had seen this earlier. If your other comets show such symptoms I have a feeling this might work for you.
  3. I never had experience with loaches. But sometimes quarantine trio or a combination of more than one med can be a too much for some species. I would add one med per day and monitor closely. Generally, if the meds start working you’ll see some change in their behavior in a few hours. If the behavior changes for bad, I would suggest remove meds immediately.
  4. Hi @Colu I did a full course of API fungus cure + maracyn and water at 82F. It looks like he has recovered fully. No white or black fungus. He is always active and eats anything that fits in his mouth. I would never be able to thank you enough for this. Slowly removing meds with 10% water change every other day. Everything looks fine so far. If you look at the images I shared earlier, he has come a long long way. Feeling extremely happy for him.
  5. Not an expert. I guess as long as you use sponge filter and no chemical filtration and lots of aeration the meds should work fine.
  6. I have a black moor that I got a month ago. Recently he started developing some ich problem. Or may be some fungus. Right now he is 10G QT. The water is clean 78C, 0,0,20 and pH 7.6. I am treating with API fungus care, maracyn and ich-x. 3 days no improvement and the white spots are growing and he is now just sitting at the bottom. Eating sometimes. I don’t know what to do. The condition is getting worse every day. Never tried salt.
  7. Hi @Colu I am using both the API fungus cure + maracyn. The fungus growth has stopped for sure and 3rd day into the cure, the fungus has started to clear out a bit but still there is a lot of fungus that needs to go away. I will be following the dosage/days mentioned in the box for the mentioned number of days for each medicine. The fish is still active and eating and moving around as normal. Is there anything I should be worried about before increasing the medicine dose as per directions ? added a photo you can see the body has white fungus and fin edges have black fungus. Also some regions on the head has black fungus.
  8. Hi he again started to get sick. Looks like he has lot of fungal whitish stuff growing all over him and the fins are clamped. The edges of the fins have started growing some black stuff too and it’s slowly spreading all over the scales. I don’t have pictures because it’s not visible in photos. He is 10G QT tank. Changing 30% water every night and 90% every third day. The condition is getting bad pretty fast. I have the quarantine trio and prazipro. Just finished prazipro treatment 2 days back. No idea how to deal with it. Could find any info on black+ white fungus together or may be it’s something else. Please help @Colu
  9. Hi James black. Thanks for the details. I will follow your QT filter media trick. My display tank fishes have come up with ich and fin rot. Will have to clean that huge tank anyways. Do you have any tips to treat my two goldfishes in a 75g tank for ich fin rot or flukes and I have one fish in 10g qt tank that’s almost recovered? I plan to transfer all three after complete recovery into the 75g tank but don’t know how to clean it off disease first.
  10. I used both the prazipro and maracyn today. When I came back from work he looked so active. Ate a ton of peas and some goldfish pellets. So will let him rest for a day now. The rashes are gone and tail fin damage is almost gone. He has recovered almost 90%. Thank you Colu. Look at him now!
  11. Thanks Colu for the advice. Is it okay if I use Maracyn and Prazipro together or do I need to use it individually? I just received the trio meds from Aquariumcoop in the mail. Very excited. Very happy I discovered Cory. Now I just pray things work well. Looking at other posts I am already too scared. Not sure what I’ll do and lose them forever.
  12. I have a rescue comet goldfish almost for a month now. He was fine initially but developed some rashes and is under a lot of discomfort. He was darting/flashing try to rub himself anywhere possible. So I removed all the plants and decor. Treating him with Prazipro for possible flukes. After 1 day of treatment, his erratic behavior has stopped. He is doing great. No fins clamping. Feeding him peas to keep ammonia down. Looks like the red rashes will not go away that easily. From water test ammonia/nitrite/ nitrates are all zero or nitrates may be below 20ppm. The ph is stable at 7.0 and water temp now is now 78F was 72F but seems he likes it warm. He is in a 10G hospital tank. Changing water in 3 days and will do another round of Prazipro for 5 days may be. His size is around 1.8 inch now. Will move to my 55G tank after full recovery. I feel he is not as lively as he was when he came in, although he is eating and moving around. Fish gods please advise what do I do to make him happy and get rid of those red rashes and bring back his dashing personality. I hope I am not overseeing any other fatal diseases.
