It took a lot of patience and a couple sore arms from holding the camera nonstop, but here is a collage of views of the tiger barb. Again, he acts normal, but this sore doesn't look very good, and I don't know if there's anything I can do to help heal it, or at least try to disinfect it. BTW...

Well the longfin barb (whatever it really is) has only gotten that fat in the past couple of weeks, before that it looked (as far as body-shape) just like the other barb. Are eggs even a possibility? The thing is, if it's a giant belly of fungus/parasites/infections, I'm going to want to move...

Well I was told it was a "longfin tinfoil"... I think. At any rate I assume it's some kind of barb closely related to the golden/rosy/odessa given the spot on its tail (which appears on the fish of those breeds that I've seen). So I know it's not a regular tinfoil anyway I guess. Can you tell me...

Thanks! Any info on the above pictures anybody?

The catfish is acting very normal now, and is starting to look better every day, he's starting to lose that "soft, pale, mushy" look and starting to look more smooth, firm, and colorful. The tinfoil still seems as active as its always been, even with the big belly. And although the past couple...

Ok so here's some pictures. The longfin tinfoil barb. I really hope its eggs and not an infection or parasite: http://www.mattseng.com/personal/images/pe..._longfin/09.jpg http://www.mattseng.com/personal/images/pe..._longfin/10.jpg...

Thanks for the additional input! I will try to get a picture up ASAP, probably this evening. The scales on the tinfoil do look uniform, and it does stay pretty active, although it seems to have based itself back in one corner with a lot of cover. I guess I wouldn't have figured that eggs would...

Did another 10 gallon water change today, making use of my gravel siphon for the first time. Turns out to work a lot better than I expected. Also my Cory seemed much more full of vigor today, rooting through the gravel and whatnot. He still looks a bit... not so smooth, a bit pale perhaps, but...

I won't add any more fish until I'm sure things are stable, but really, things aren't that unstable. I mean my levels and temps have never been way off, and the salt is really the only thing I can think to attribute my problems to. So I guess I just don't know when to call it "sorted". I'm in...

Hi everybody, I'm so glad I found a nice big fish forum. Ok so here's my background: I've had a couple shubunkin goldfish for about a year and a half now. They started out in my 50 gallon "pond" but I brought them in for the winter and decided to keep them inside (too much work moving them...
