Please help me my fishes act strange and may die.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Do you think the tank I have (32.5 G) is small for these Fishes I have?
9 Neon Tetra
2 sunset platy
2 three spot gourami
2 Bristlenose Pleco small sizes
2 Rubber Lip Albino Bushy Nose Plecos
3 Amazon Puffers
1 Figure 8 Puffer

before medication all of them were living in peace.
Eh I think the tank is fine as long as 3 plecos are removed like what Deadeye Deadeye stated. I think the puffers are fine as long as there are enough water changes. Just my opinion
 
Thanks Rocksor. if I get 246L and change it to brakish. but with brakish water tank, can my other fishes also live in the same brakish tank?

Also, I recently bought this piece of furniture for 100 bucks. from 1950s real wood stand for my 123L tank. Can this stand still support 246L? it is real solid wood.

So the 246+ L would be freshwater and the 123L would be brakish for the figure 8 puffer.

I don't know what the framing of that dresser looks like so I can not comment if you can put a long sheet of plywood on top and then put a 246L on that.

Gouramis were more of an aggression issue than a too much issue.
To rehome you would either have to take them to the lfs or find local hobbyists wanting them. Once the ich is gone they will be safe to sell. Unless your lfs has a policy against taking in fish, they usually will. They are usually put into qt for a bit until healthy.
The puffer’s stomach looks fine. That’s just it being a pig. Mine do this every time they eat, part of no scales seems to involve bloating after feedings. I’ll grab some pics of mine later after they eat.
The fig 8 can live in brackish and I believe platies can as well (mollies and guppies definitely).
 
As promised, my amazons post feeding:

Thanks for posting these photos.
What did you feed them? And how often you feed them?
I saw another fish in the photo, what is the name of that fish, I mean the ones that are tank mates with Amazon puffers

I heard that feeding garlic to fishes are good for them.
how do you feed garlic to fish? Is there special garlic for fish or Normal garlic that we eat? Do I need to soak the food in garlic water and then give it to them? Or fishes will eat garlic pieces directly?

Vegetarians may eat garlic directly. For most fish, you take garlic juice and soak foods in it. It is good for immune systems.

I feed mine frozen bloodworms (tonight), freeze dried brine shrimp, frozen mysis shrimp, tetra min tropical flakes (mostly for the other fish, but they eat it sometimes), pond snails, and repashys grub pie. I alternate/mix daily, skipping one or two days a week.
In the first pic is a school of serpae tetras. Later is a sun loach (Y. Eos), very rarely imported best I can figure. I got mine on accident. There are 3 in there along with a skunk loach (Y. Morleti). I ordered a school of 6 skunks and got some sun loaches mixed in. They are larger and more aggressive than the already mean skunks, but stick to themselves in large enough schools. The puffers also share the tank with 4 oto cats and an electric blue acara.
