Hey all, I know it is super annoying when someone posts an emergency, you help them, and then they ghost the thread... I am really sorry. Life/work, etc. got wild for a little bit there, and it was all I could do to attend to the tank, let alone post updates. Thankfully all has settled a bit now...

I feel like this could describe me on a few nights back in my 20s. :) Thank you. This morning, fish #2 no longer looks like this. So sand and mucus it likely was. Still a little lethargic and I can tell he/she is just a little "off," but seems to be holding steady at that. Fish #1 is still...

Adding another photos with a bit of a wider angle. I don't know if this helps determine what is going on there, but I wanted to point out the driftwood in the upper right corner. See the white specks on it? That's how the substrate looks when it gets on something, be it fish, wood, stone, what...

Hi all, thanks for all the help. I was able to capture the following photo tonight. This is fish #2, so not the fish that originally showed symptoms. That fish, fish #1, is still doing the same thing. Clamped fins, swimming vertically near surface, etc. This fish, fish #2, was acting a...

Yeah, they primarily eat shrimp, bloodworms, raw veggies, etc. The veggie pellets I recently added to the diet are a packaged product, but comes from a local chain store in my state... not a national commercial product, in other words. It's really hard for me to imagine how they could be a...

Yikes. This was my wife's first thought too. And, unfortunately, I panicked and did some big water changes before it dawned on me as a possibility. 40 to 50% in back to back days to try to bring those nitrates down. I've backed off, but fear if this is the case I might have caused more damage...

No new fish, no new decor, no plants. And been that way for 6 or so years. I only have the one tank so no threat of cross contamination. The only thing that has changed in recent months is new heaters, some new valves and O-rings on the filters, and somewhat recently (since maybe December) some...

I have a well established clown loach tank that has had no changes in a very long time. These fish have been living together with no additions or new stock for 16 years. They have been in this particular well water for over a decade and in this particular tank with these particular filters for 6...
