He died. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll have to worry about overstocking for long. Thanks for all the info Colin. I vacuum the substrate ever time I do a water change, but as it is planted I rarely can get around the back. I’ll move some stuff to make sure I can. I believe we have pool salt...

Here’s his funky death roll thing… may not be velvet, but there’s something wrong. I’m hoping he’ll recover, but the odds aren’t great, in my opinion…. In case your wondering, he was a perfectly normal swimmer until this morning, when I saw him rolled over and then did one of these to get air at...

Ok, thank you all so, so much for your responses, and especially for all that info GaryE I checked my fish again with my ‘flashlight’, then (haha, this made me smile) and, hooray I think, it’s not textured as such. All the sources I read just said something along the lines of ‘gold or red...

Ok… (pls don’t get mad and say it’s overstocked, I already knew that) 10 gal heavily planted Tank (my first and only) with 9 neons (one died recently of suspected parasite/worm thingo, which was the other thread) 3 Pygmy cories 3 pepper cories 2 julii (or trilineatus, i had been wondering if...

I haven’t really seen it flashing or anything. The Cory isn’t actually as skinny as it looks in the photo, it was due to the light I was shining on it. I wouldn’t say it looks malnourished, but it isn’t eating at the moment. I have added fish in the last month… the fish affected is actually new...

Uh oh…. Is this velvet? (Photo permission granted) Now I’m really panicking because I did the darkness treatment in my main tank and one of my other Cories (pepper) has a greeny shine near the gills, which I think is normal, but it’s has some gold as well. I’ve never had velvet, pls confirm...

Ok… Yes I’ve cycled the tank, it’s about a year and a bit old I’m pretty certian it’s not ammonia poisoning because when I say ‘slightly more orange gills’ I mean, not red or even light pink, I can‘t even assure you they weren’t like that to start with, it is literally a really really tiny...

There is something wrong with my tank (or I’m just cursed) Woke up this morning with Julii Cory lying on it’s side. Can still swim properly, however, it occasionally lolls over and lies sideways. Doesn’t look good. It seems perfectly healthy other than slightly more orange gills, but I’m pretty...

Alright the ‘supporting member’ thing makes sense, I don’t think I can get a subscription yet but maybe one day ;). Think I’ve got everything! :thanks: everyone!

Alright, figured the signature out, and I think I get the points system that changes what your tag is (The sig’s a bit cringe, but I’ll change it at some point). Thanks guys!

Thanks for that about the emojis :thanks: The thing in my profile said I can change my account name next month, which is where that came from (not really relevant, just wanted to make sure people knew I actually knew how to spell julii) Sorry personal question you don’t have to answer it- are...

Just a few quick questions ;) 1. How long will I have the ‘new member tag’ (more to the point, when can I edit it?) Not impatient, just curious. Edit- sorry don’t bother with this question someone already answered it and silly me didn’t see ;) 2. How do I add the little things that follow...

Alright, I think this thread might be at a close. The fish died- Came home to euthanise it this afternoon (I was out when your messages arrived, so I couldn’t do it strait away, although I was planning to anyway if no-one could offer a cure) but it was already dead. RIP bud. :( None of the...

Yeah, I understand about the clear and clean water not being perfect, but I haven’t really had issues with it before. Thanks for the reply. https://streamable.com/uyrvt5 here’s a link to the video I just took and an uploaded photo of it this morning. I’ll probably euthanise it this afternoon if...

Thanks! I’ll try to get a presentable aquascape in my tank (and a good pic of my dog, she never keeps still ;)) before then!

again, thank you so much for all the advice! I’ll try and do 50% waterchanges each week (thanks for the info about the bacteria, I knew most of it lived on surfaces but also though some lived in the water) thanks to your advice, but I probably can’t do any more than that as we (QLD) are going...

Ok… thanks guys (different advice from the other thread which I posted by accident, but I definitely think it’s a distinct possibility… :() i was hoping it might be a physical trauma, however it seems much more likely that it’s an infection/parasite…. Thank you so much for you input!

Thanks everyone! Looking forward to being part of the communities (and especially thanks Obsessed with Fish for your reply!)

Also, isn’t neon tetra disease (and many other diseases) only present in new fish or from consuming an infected fish? This is why I was thinking it was trauma, but it’s really hard to know because I‘d been on holidays. And also, sorry that there is 2 threads for this, I created one but...

Hi (and thanks for the replies) 1. I usually do 30% water changes, (sorry when I said 20%’s earlier I did them in two batches because I am planning to do one tomorrow as well, so I didn’t want to do them all at once). I try and avoid doing large water changes because I really don’t want all my...

Hi, I’m from QLD, Australia (objectively the best state and country in the world ;) ). I have one 10gal tropical planted tank (which is very overstocked, unfortunately, but I know what I’m doing), but when I grow up and get rich I want a house full of tanks and at least one spectacular 100 gal...

hi, new member so apologies if this email doesn’t follow protocol (and sorry for the terrible grammar I‘m in a rush) I came home from a trip yesterday (5 days), having asked my grandad (with very clear instructions) to feed 1 tablet and turn off the light 3 days in so they wouldn’t starve (I’m...
