bacterial infection

Hi everyone. Recently, I introduced some new fish after a 2-week quarantine process, which included a quarantine medication trio consisting of Fritz Maracyn, Aquarium Solutions Ich-X, and Fritz ParaCleanse. Upon observing them and making sure they were healthy, I added them to my main tank. (90...

Cross posted on planetcatfish with no help. They are some sort of ciliate or flagella organism I believe? Kite shaped armor plating or it really looks like brown coral. They don’t appear to be spreading according to my naked eye. Hasn’t appeared to spread. He had this when he was shipped to me...

Not my fish, so I can’t give exact parameters, they just sent me pics and I wanna confirm with y’all. I recommend the api em erythromycin bc it looks like a bacterial infection. But it could also equally be a fungus and I’m not sure if that requires a different treatment? This fish just...

Hello all, Unfortunately, my ADF may be sick. This is the first aquarium with endlers, guppy, adf, orange shrimp, and a pleco... 16 gallon. A few weeks ago, I noticed a bump developing. Now, there are several and a few have a red dot on them. What type of a disease can this be? And how should...

I've had this powder blue dwarf gourami for a few weeks in a 20G long tank, heavily planted, with one female neon dwarf gourami, two honey gouramis, and three ghost shrimp, and after one week he developed a lump just above a small red spot on his side that looked like an injury that would easily...

My female betta has a patch on her side that looks tan in some lighting and white in others for the last 3 weeks. It is not super raised but is noticeable. The patch has gotten slightly larger even after both fungal and bacterial treatment. She is active and eats like a pig and does not show any...

I’ve had my Betta since February and soon after he developed brown patches on his back. I figured it was from stress and he was fine after a water change but still discolored. It’s April now and he’s gotten progressively worse. He currently has fin/tail rot and patches on his sides have shown up...

Hello, I am looking for some advice for treatment or medication to use to treat fin rot. I have been to my LFS, which advised me to do 25% - 50% water changes every other day and aquarium salt and use Seachem's Garlic Guard. It looked like it had cleared up, and the tetra was getting better. A...
