There are very few people in Switzerland who have an aquarium, so it would be nice to trade specimens and knowledge with those who do. -
From The previously black edges you're able to tell that it's not fin rot. Does he have any tank mates, if so, what species? It looks like he has been a victim of fin nipping. How old is he? High Nitrite and Nitrate can (in my experience) cause physical damage to a fish, live plants can help to reduce those. High lighting can also be problematic. Best wishes

Jeez! I'm sorry but I've got no idea. Nice name: Kronos. Best of luck.

If it's a virus, try Expel - P and see if it makes any change. Try slowly lowering down the ph (ideally to 6.2 - 6.5) to potentially kill it if it's a disease. On second thoughts, it looks quite like a cancer; so it may die. 😔 The cancer may be genetic, so try not to breed the fish until the condition has passed, or... Best of luck

If you're worried about plants dying, throw in some Water Sprite, duckweed, or other floating plants. Most stem plants should be fine, and the swords will melt and grow new leaves over a 1- 2 month period.

Nerite snails in community tank

Don't worry, if there isn't much algae in your tank, drop in a piece of (well-washed) cucumber in every now and again. Otherwise it'll be fine. Cheers -
Apisto Agassizii are kinda fun

In my experience, if young fry come into contact with hydra, it can sometimes be fatal. use an algae scrubber while sucking them off the glass so that they can't move to a different spot. Good Luck

Did you buy them as a group when they where young? I bought a juvenile platinum angel, then 4 months later I added another angel (marbled) to the tank and the marbled one was constantly bullied and herded into a corner. Really bugs me, I've tried to build up a group for quite some time. Could be a difference in coloration, but it would be interesting to see if other aquarists have experienced the same problem. Cheers.
