I have two heaped tablespoons per 20 liters in the tank, there's been salt in the tank four days, two tablespoons per 20 liters since yesterday. Could the heat be making it worse? What chemical medication would be best if it comes to that? I know I should give the salt more time but I'd like to...

The ich looks better today, I know that just means some of the cysts dropped and they're in the substrate, but hopefully the free swimming parasites die and it keeps improving. As for the patches on my silver dollar's mouths the one looks really different today, I can't tell if it's a good or...

Understood, I know I need to give the salt and heat time to work, I'm just so impatient I hate seeing them suffer. Are there any medications or remedies I should buy just to have on hand in the future? From now on I'll be taking care of the tank so hopefully I'll be able to avoid diseases for...

Okay thank you, I added an extra air stone today and for the most part everyone seems mostly okay. I am very worried about the white patches on the silver dollars mouths, but I guess time will tell if they'll get better or not.

Okay, the heater is all the way up and it's staying around 84-85. I ordered a new one. I have several thermometers monitoring the temperature in different parts of the tank but it's mostly the same throughout. Okay that's good, I know the pictures aren't great but what could it be? I'm trying to...

48 hours after I added the salt and there's no improvement, I feel like it's worse but it may be in my head. The small silver dollar's and the kissing gourami's find are looking frayed and wispy at the ends. It's my understanding that mouth rot and fin rot are caused by the same bacteria so is...

Ok, thank you everyone so much. I did an %85 water change today and replaced the salt I removed. Some of my fish, mostly the dwarf gouramis, have stringy pale poop. So do a few of my mollys. Is this something or am I just paranoid?I've read that white stringy poop could be a sign of internal...

Okay, I've been using ParaGuard for five days, I thought I should've seen an improvement by now. I'm sorry for my straight up lack of understanding, this tank was just sort of unloaded on me out of the blue.

I added the salt this morning. Meanwhile the ich has gotten worse, at least I think it's ich. All of the fish are covered in these little white dots. I've been using ParaGuard but I don't understand why it's worse. I've been reading about aquarium salt today and I'm seeing that it can cure ich...

Okay, I have aquarium salt on hand so that's good. I have a pleco and three snails in the tank, should I seperate them while treating? I've read plecos are sensitive but I don't really know. I also have five dwarf gourami and a kissing gourami, I can't move them but they'll do fine with the...

I got more pictures today, I can't tell if it's changed at all, they rarely stop moving for more than a second. I went ahead and did a seventy percent water change today and vacuumed the gravel as best I could without taking the fish out.

I'm thinking they have mouth rot or something of the like. Their mouths aren't eaten away yet, I'm hoping they improve with the ParaGuard but I'm wondering if I should get some other antifungal medication. I'm having trouble finding information on if ParaGuard treats mouth rot. I'm thinking...

Both of my silver dollars have white patches above their mouths, this may be a stupid question but I can't tell if it's fungus or their faces rubbed raw from swimming against the glass or something else. They're both five to six years old and I've had them since they were small, the tank used...

I guess this is me introducing myself... My name is Penelope, my friends call me Nellie and I am just getting into fish keeping. I set up two two gallon tanks on December 2nd and added a Betta to one and two African Dwarf frogs to the other on December 9th. On December 13th I decided Mr...
