That’s great news, thank you! They’re my first females so this is new to me.

I just got another betta a few weeks ago and noticed a white substance right in front of her lower fin, on her belly, when I got her. It’s there while she poops, her poop appears segmented but brown. She’s from PetSmart in a split 20 gallon with another female I got at the same time. they had a...

UPDATE: Here is a picture of Riptide- he is looking and acting phenomenally. I did daily water changes and changed from melafix to polyguard. I have levamisole and Flubendazole and will be starting treatment for the cammalanus worms within the next few days just incase they’re any left.

Thank you for your reply. It does look horrible :( I have no idea how he appears normal in every other way. I did determine one of the things he expelled somehow was a worm but I am unsure if it was from that wound as I didn’t see that specific one exit him. I couldn’t find much if anything on...

Thanks for the reply. I did do a dose of prazipro on Sunday and again on Wednesday. Maybe that's why the mass burst?

Ok, thank you for your reply. I was thinking it was poop because that’s the color of the food. Now I’m not so sure as it’s been hanging off him for a few hours at this point.

I am in desperate need of help. Our favorite fish, a dwarf gourami, is in a hospital tank and in dire need of treatment or euthanasia. He had been showing signs of some kind of spots all over for a few months. No treatments of ich worked and no other fish in the tank had any of his...

Anyone?

Thank you for all your advise! Here are pictures of the neons. The one has the spot on mouth and back fin. The other swims slanted but isn’t in the picture. So am I only to use salt and garlic guard, plus heat? Should I add back my chemical filters? I have had only nitrazorb, bio balls...

Here’s the best pic I could get of my cichlid. He/she is with two female gourami and 3 nerite snails.

Sorry, ammonia levels are 0. I’ve read salt isn’t good for scaless fish like corydora. I’ve used salt no problem with my dwarf gourami though.

Ok, so I have one 55g freshwater display tank. Nitrate 20 Nitrite 0 Hardness 150 Chlorine 0 Alkalinity 100 pH 7.2 The above readings have been steady for at least 6 months. Tank mates are: 2 male guppies, 2 dwarf gourami -1 male 1-female, 4 nerite snails, and 9 Julii corydora catfish. A few...

Thanks for responding! The white spot on her top fin is no longer there. I just switched to Prazi Pro two days ago but the spot on her side is still there. I have not looked into bacterial yet. What would I be looking for that would determine bacterial vs. parasitic?

Hello, I just bought a powder blue dwarf guorami a month ago. The day after I put her in the quarantine tank 4 white specks appeared. I’ve treating her steady with Paraguard (didn’t work), imagitarium parasite remedy, and currently ick-attack. In the one month I have only seen one speck...

I noticed this morning that my mustard blue betta has something white or scales rubbed off on the left side by his back fin (2nd picture)? Also, now I may be paranoid but do his eyes look puffy and gold on his belly? I’ve had him for over a year and had no problems. He’s really a great fish...

UPDATE: My catfish has now passed away. The redness that was in the vein on his/her head had now spread to its belly as well. It looks like hemorrhagic septicemia, which I've read can be very contagious and fatal. What do I do with the tank and the remaining fish in it who are not showing...
