Schalk Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) My fish started developing this strange pinkish bulge on it body and started acting strange today.

From the stones to rincing the plants. Anyone with suggestuons what can cause this? I took this photo from the top. One can see the pinkish colour on the fish.

lefty o Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 have you tested any water parameters? salt is a good general cure all if you dont know what is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schalk Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 Ph is 7. I have cleaned everything today. I will have to monitor it from here to see if its better. This evening I heard a snap sound and my tank glas snapped the bottom glass below the gravel. Why would that happen? My water temperature is 24°c and I have no idea why this would have happned. I had to move quick to catch all my fish as the water was streaming all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 usually when the bottom glass cracks, it is because the base of the tank wasnt level causing the tank to twist slightly. when twisted and all the weight from water and substrate added, they can crack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schalk Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Thanks. I am feeling reluctant to buy the same tank from the same supplier. I dont want to not being close when this happen and all my fish dies. Any suggestions or is it a chance one takes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
