LCRYAN

Just wanted to let you all know that she is doing amazing and I appreciate all the support ! Her recovery story and video is linked if anyone wants to see how she’s doing ❤️ https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8nDmY2a/

Omg help! I just noticed drain flys in a couple tanks. What the heck do I do? Is my tap water contaminated ?

I have uncontrollable columnaris in my 55 and 10 g tank. I have lost 5 balloon mollies 😞 I have 1 adult balloon molly left and today her eyes are swollen. I have 7 regular mollies that have scale loss and grey discoloration on the saddle but do not seem to be dropping at the same rate. Kanaplex did not work. Ick x did not work. Jungle fungal clear did not work. Salt is not working. Metroplex did not work. I tried polyguard…it did not work. I am now trying furan fish food flakes and that’s when I noticed my balloons eyes popping waaaay out. I feel like I’m over medicating these fish at this rate. I have been at this for over a month with death after death. I’m starting to wonder if it’s time to euthanize them 😞 I don’t know if I can morally do it when I see many still have fight…but they always seem to have fight until one day they just sit at the bottom and slowly suffer…What would you do ??? 😞 I am so sad. I have two fry who were born into that tank. They are in a 5 g and at this time they seem to thrive and not be affected.

My tanks have been running for over 3 months. They have no real plants but are extremely low stocked. I have 7 mollies in a 55g. 5 neons and a snail in a 20. And two mollies in a 10g. I do also have 2 fry in a 5 g for safety All of my tanks are cleaned weekly and they all have one of two pre seeded sponges from Angels Plus that have kept ammonia and nitrite at 0. I just lost the girl today 😞 she def had dropsy. Their is something horribly wrong in my 55g and 10g and I’m really freaking out.

I use de chlorinator and I do water changes weekly. I have cycled sponges in all of them (multiple in each tank) which keeps ammonia and nitrite at bay. I got pre seeded sponges from Angels Plus. When I didn’t have seeded sponges in, everything would spike. But, when I put them in, it all went to zero and now I never ever see nitrate. Does anyone know what that’s all about?

Thank you. I just ordered these now !

Please help me ! I can not figure out what I’m dealing with illness wise. I had to euthanize two very sick fish with clove oil (one had what looked like a yeast infection all over its fins and body. He was also turning white. He lost complete motor control over his body and looked to be seizing hard every 2 min. while breathing rapidly. He also seemed to be losing scales in back of his head/top back.) the other fish (had white fungus all on its lips and down its throat). I have another fish (female) who is clamping her tail and is hiding/listless. A little bit of redness on gills. She’s also staying by the heater a lot of the time. She is only interested in eating. I have 7 fish who were exposed to whatever this is in a 55 g. And 3 exposed to this in a 10 g. the only one at this time who’s showing real signs of illness is the female in the 10g with two friends. Both tanks: ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 0, 7 ph, hard water temp is about 81-82 degrees I think I’m dealing with a very slow slow slow killing columnaris but I could be very wrong. right now I’m using kanaplex and jungle fungle clear which has furan in it (unfortunately furan2 is no longer available)

She’s healing up excellent ! Medicine has maxed out and I’m doing 2x water changes a week with a handful of salt. She’ll be in the 10g until her scales fully come back. Thank you all for your help!

She’s getting better and better !! I’m truly amazed watching her heal. I am inspired! I was so scared when I first found her so beaten up, I didn’t think she’d make it …….but WOW am I over joyed at her recovery!! She’s doing great and I look forward to her full come back 🙂 Thank you guys so much for your support !

Thank you so much !!

Day 4 ! Things are looking up!!

Day 2 was meant to say October 19 (that’s a typo) she’s still alive today on day 4. Will give you guys an update after water change, medicine change and feeding

Thank you so much !!!!

Thank you!!!! Omg you guys, she started eating about an hour after doing the water change and adding the new meds 🙌 I’m hopeful !! & yes, the ick x for fungal because that’s all I have on hand. Should I use fungus cure tomorrow? I can pick some up. Just needed something to start the process of removing fungus.

Info in photos !!! Please let me know if I’m doing the right thing. Anyone else ever gone through this ??
