I agree with everyone else, he has a severe case of dropsy and needs to be euthanized. For the future is that a quarantine tank or the main tank? How big is it? It looks way too small for a goldfish.

I that is why I asked what you’re water parameters are.

I agree it’s a male with worms

Th The BN pleco does not have an L number

Water parameters? tank size? full stocking?

He said he didn’t think it was that, because it was bigger, he didn’t ask about the name.

Probably in about a week

Aka L001

Why would it die from water conditions?

What experience do you have with guppies? you even noted your unreliable source.

Th this is completely false, you can easily keep males together, problems arise when you don’t have enough females, but in this case there are no females.

I agree, I laugh when I see people worried for their first batch of fry. You will son have new fry every week!

Yes,she will pop probably within 2 weeks

Any low light plants, like swords, crypts, and Anubias are great for begginers

At my local PetSmart females are 10 and males start at 15

It looks like some sort of hygrophelia

They are yellowing because they need a fertilizer with iron, you could get a complete liquid fert or a liquid iron supplement.

Shrimp are actually very sensitive to water parameters, Amano s are easier but still for the more experienced keepers.

Are you sure the actual shrimp died? It sounds like you are seen a sheded exoskeleton

If they have been kept with a male ( which they have) they are going to be pregnant, but they are not very far along.

All the chain pet stores in my area all have them already! I personally think the males look like zombies, but a sorority would be really cool and I might just have to do one,

I have the super ick cure by api, it says do a 1/2 dose for scale Less fish, but I have gouramis, guppies, barbs, and Corys and according to Wikipedia they all have scales.

My corries get stressed out when the temp goes heigher than 80 and I have ick meds sitting around and want to actually get my money’s worth and use it. Should I just dose both tanks now? Or just the grow out tank and if the other fish in the main tank get it then treat?

parameters? tank size?

So yesterday I notice one out of my 3 new swordtails has ick, I immediately netted her and the other one that came from the same tank, and put them in my fry grow out tank with little hope that there won’t be an ick outbreak. Today more than 24 hours later I don’t see anything on any of my fish...

Fry are very hardy, I have kept them in a tank with 8.0 ppm amonia! don’t worry about an ammonia spike for the fry, but teh adults are a lot less hardy.

I would do some galaxy rasboras, aka celestial pearl danios in the fluval flex.

I would do a trio of pearl gourami, 10 Corys, a school of some tetra. the gouramis are awesome! They have such different personalities and go crazy when there is food in the tank

They are glass surfing cause they are stressed, this is why corries need to be in groups of 6+. I would return 1 variety and get 4 of the other, how big is your tank?

Haven’t heard of balloon corries yet, they probably are just females with eggs, they are more round

Pearl Gouramis will be less shy in a trio, you could go to a store that you can return fish and get 3 wait a bit and return excess males and eventually get a male and 2 females, or go to an experienced LFS who can give you a male and two females.

3 more corries is a must, get mire neons and maybe try another schoo of tetras or rasboras

There are several ways to sex them. The most obvious are color and the anal fins.

A trio of pearl gouramis, a few different schools of tetras or rasboras and Corydoras would be awesome.

its either pond or bladder snail, I can remember which one has a right turned shell. They are very helpful in a tank.

Corries need to be in groups of 5+ so I recommend rehoming all but one variety and getting more of that one. How big is your tank?

I’d like to also point out that these fish need at least 100 gallons (378 liters) they can grow to be as long as 2 ft

Aquarium companies, you can find lots of them in amazon
