I do not have the blue one anymore as I donated him yesterday to my LFS, but I will take a picture of the damaged ones fins when I get home. Part of it is almost at the base of his fin. I thought they were friendly with each other but I noticed when they are apart, the blue one will dart over...

I see what you mean, but the one rainbow had quite the amount of damage to its fin, it was getting pretty close to the base of his tail and that blue rainbow one was the only one that was nipping him like that. The blue one would chase him around and when the orange one let his guard down, he...

Update while cleaning the tank, so in total I have 3 rainbowfish currently, 2 orange (boses) and 1 blue. The one orange one lingers by himself and has no marks, but the orange and blue that travel together, I see that the blue one nips the orange ones fins and he has noticable fin nips. The...

Hey @Colin_T, So I have been watching the tank at random points in the day, no abnormal behavior besides as I mentioned earlier the one Rainbowfish is on his own while the other 2 are together. The one that is on his own does have nip marks on his fin, I am not sure if that is from the PB or...

I could add some duckweed to the tank I’m afraid the severum will just tear it up but if it’ll help the rainbows I can definitely look into it. But I’ll update it is pretty much how it was yesterday, I don’t see much aggression but the one rainbow is just by himself

I agree I haven’t added anything as of yet hence why I came here first. That picture of the rainbow fish isn’t the one that had lymphocytis but the stock image I put resembles the bump she had on the side of her body for the year I had her. 1) For the tests I do shake every bottle and put them...

I’ll post some videos and pictures of the fish later today as I have a symposium this morning I am headed to. The fish eat well, there’s no white poop that I noticed. They also do not look fat or get fat overnight when the last one died. They do not go near the surface or near the filter as the...

i do not think it was TB as not if the other fish have it. It wasnt a sore but looked more like a white lump on her body. I have I’ll put a stock image of what it looked like. The severum is very peaceful and so is the EBA. The PB do not dare go near them or the syno. The rainbows also do not...

Hello! I am not an expert there are a lot of better people on the forum but I’ll answer some of your questions: 1) in terms of your cycle, everything is perfect except for chlorine. You should get a dechlorinator such as prime or APA water conditioner as any amount of chlorine is harmful. How...

I have had a Leopard gecko for the past 10 years, his name is Crosby. At first I had a terrarium for him with sand, but avoid sand substrate, when they eat food they can also eat the sand as mine is quite clumsy. I now have him in a 20 long gallon tank with two types of lamps set up and with...

Hello all, So I have a 75 gallon tank which currently houses 1 red spotted severum 1 EBA 1 Synodontis catfish 3 Rainbows (2 passes away recently) 6 polar blue parrot convict cichlids So I did have a group of 5 rainbow fish, but now it is down to 3. I checked the water, and it had perfect...

Would they not breed?

The tank is a 30x12x18. I have a few of these log caves on the bottom

Yes that is the species I meant. Not sure why I thought it was a goby Apolgies. But I have 9 Cories currently they are from about .5 to 1.5”

Hello all, I was debating to get a peacock goby with my Cories and harlequin rasboras. Would this work? I haven’t seen them get talked about much so hopefully someone could have some advice for caring for them. Here’s my water parameters 29g Ammonia: .1 (doing water change today) Nitrite: 0...

I have tried sand is the past but I did not had luck keeping it as clean and my Cories didn’t work well on it. I have small smooth gravel for the past few months that I keep very clean and my Cories appear happy with no damage on their bristles. I know this not good or ideal, but I would rather...

The symptoms that you were describing initially with the bloating, white stringy poop, and then ending up on the bottom(from what I understand) is a sign that it could have parasites, and it could have then picked up ich as a secondary infection as it’s immune system was weakened. @Colin_T has...

Pet smart might be able to do it wouldn’t hurt to try

Considering that your ammonia from tap is .5-1, this could also be chloramines that are used to treat the tap water. I had this same issue where no matter what I did my ammonia would be at .5, and turns out it was from my tap. I turned my tank planted and i haven’t had ammonia go over .1 (I was...

When you say transparent poop is it like white and stringy? Also, what are your water parameters

If you also have a fish store nearby they can get the Gh and Kh for free. If you have soft water like me I can give you some recommendations for some nice cichlids for soft water as I’ve had a lot of trial and error over the years

Considering I haven’t ever seen the danios near me, what do you think would be some good set ups with different species. I will add then a few more Cories this weekend when I do a water change. I’d rather have more smaller fish then less larger fish since I have my cichlid community tank that...

It is a 30 x 12 x 18

So I have a 29 gallon currently have 9 Cories, I originally had mollies but was told they should not be in soft water so I have returned them. Here’s what I was thinking of adding: 6 celestial danos 10 tetras (not sure which one) 9 Cories (that are currently in there) Would this work? Here...

Did you happen to see how their poop looked like? Was it white and stringy before they died? my suspicion is that if you’re water parameters are good and your fish are not fighting with each other it might be a parasite based on the lethargic and also loss of appetite at the end. I’ll let...

What is the ammonia of the water? Besides being lethargic, are there any other signs your guppy is showing? What were the symptoms of the betta fish before she died if you saw?

75 gallon Seapora Cichlid community tank I have had this tank for almost about 3 years now and it was my first tank for a lot of things, like first time getting cichlids, first time getting large fish, and also first time getting a big aquarium (I had only a 10 gallon for many years) Current...

Yeah that’s why I was starting to ponder substitutions for them while I also try to see if I can give them away locally for free if someone wants to care for them. But would Panda barbs be ok mainly size wise and also temperament wise. I know they are schooling like most barbs so I would need to...

Hello all, I had a discussion in a past forum where I was having some issues with my mollies passing away, and found out that mollies should be in hard water and not soft. I currently still have the 5 from last time and they are doing great. I was doing some research on maybe some substitutes I...

It’s a little hard to tell from the pictures but it looks quite similar to the start of lymphocytis (cauliflower disease). It is caused by a iridovirus and is incurable, but is also harmless and won’t kill the fish. I would keep the water as clean as possible by doing 50% water changes weekly to...

What were your tank parameters? Bent spine disease can be cause by a few things like bad water parameters, disease, and bad genetics. Considering you said you saw no other symptoms, and if your water is good, my only two theories is they had some underlying disease such as something...
