I agree with everything that has been said and if you have the following image as your white catfish It's an albino cory, and yes the should be kept in groups of 6 or more.

You might be right about the little one sneaking in the bag! When I worked in a pet store, selling livebearers every now and then a little baby fish would get in the bags :shifty: . She does look heavily pregnant and hopefully you will have babies soon. What other fish do you have in the tank...

Hope the treatments works :) Good luck!

They do looks stunning guppies, I'm planning on breeding some of my guppies from the mix match bunch I have. Here's pictures of my big girl who I think is a sunset female with a slightly larger than normal top fin. How ever she likes to eat her babies to I'm currently trying to save them in the...

those are pretty little guppies, do the females look like the males or are they more plain in colour?

I would suggest getting a netted isolation tank (net breeder) that you can float inside your tank for your little baby molly. Often a Female Molly will still look very round, after she has released her entire batch of babies, because she may still be full of fertilized eggs, that will soon begin...

Yeah sounds like you have lots of hiding spaces, maybe seperation is his only saviour :sad:

I was thinking that it is possible they got a shock when introduced to your tank, due to a higher pH, then the stress could have reduced their immune system resulting in getting the fin rot. Maybe some have a better ability to cope than others. I might be right in saying that bog wood can lower...

Camallanus If you have this round worm, your in for a rough ride. Known as a fish keepers nightmare, I would have to agree from my own personal experience. My symptoms include sudden deaths, fish becoming skinny for months before I saw this worm sticking out my fishes bottoms. I haven't seen a...

Yeah I have read they can cope up to 82 degrees but the pH might be slightly high for them as I also read this up to pH7. Maybe this could be the problem? I would also suspect that the move to a new tank has possibly stressed them and they have picked up the fin rot and I would up your water...

Is there lots of hiding spaces so he can hide/rest?

I remember reading this article and found it useful then lost the link :blink: Cheers betta for finding it :hyper:

So many guppies, not enough space!

I'm not to happy at buying fish from Dobbies Garden Centre (EDINBURGH) as about 3 years ago I was kindly given Camallanus :crazy: from buying guppies from them. I went back to the store and saw infected fish. I tried to report the problem to them over the phone and they never got back in touch!

I was thinking that her scales where damaged too, If so ensure to maintain a good water quality and see if you can work out how she injured her self. It should heal up in time and keep a close eye on her for new symptoms just in case we are wrong about the damaged scales.

Don't be sorry, I remember going through the same thing and I'm glad I can share my experience with you to help!

Funny I've just replied to this forum about the same thing. It has some usefull treatments here and in the UK for levamisole Jane

I would up your water changes to keep the possible wound clean. I tend to do 20% water changes a week and sometimes more when I have a population explosion. Place some tonic salt in the water as that too will help to keep the wound clean.

I wish I found this bird wormer first :drool:

Sound about right, I yeah I changed the water as normal, I would start treatment just after a water change though :rolleyes: and one other good thing about this bird wormer....it has no other chemicals just levamisole hydrochloride and water!

I had this problem and successfully got rid of the worm using Beaphar bird wormer (birdwormer) in the UK after trying every fish wormer possible at the time. You need to buy a lot of it the bird wormer as is only 0.1% levamisole hydrochloride and to treat your fish you need 1.5ml per 7.5ltr...

Yeah I was thinking he was a snake skin but it's the fine dots at the end of his tail that makes me think he's might have mutations of the grass in him! Don't quote me but I think snake skins are more lines than dots, cobras are more dot like than snakeskins and grass is very fine dots from...

There is a possibility that has has elements of the double swordtail as he was produced in a tank with no breeding selection. This tank has double swordtails and delta, also I don't know who his parents are from the several possibilities. :blush:

Hi Guys, I'm looking for some help from experts who know the difference between cobras, snakeskins , grass and lace marking to ID my gold male seen in the picture below I have been keeping guppies for years and let them breed randomlY. Nowadays I'm trying to create some fancy ones from my...
