disease

Pleco sick from treatment??? 125gallon freshwater, partially planted, river rock substrate (sparsely covered) currently: (see below for prev details) I THINK the plan is to get a new carbon filter since the water changes seem to upset him and use that to clear the water giving a few days for...

Hey guys, it’s been a while since I’ve posted on here but I can’t find anything online to help diagnose this issue. My venustus has had this for a few weeks now and it’s gotten bigger. Not sure what it is, and was hoping someone on here can help me determine what it is, and how to cure it...

So I’ve been treating my new 125 with a blueish green liquid (premixed bottle from behind the counter no clue what it is) from a really great lfs near me. I kinda freaked out and didn’t even ask what it was. I also forgot to ask about transferring ich/ick from the python siphon I use on most of...

Hi. I am sorry if I keep asking for help from you guys about my fish health. But I need some help from you guys again. It is about my datz that I ask in previous thread that have a some kind of bump or nodule should I say. I havent give it any medication yet since I havent got any reply and I...

Hi. I am sorry if I keep asking for help from you guys about my fish health. But I need some help from you guys again. It is about my indonesian tigerfish. Currently I have one datz that is around 35 or almost 40 cm I guess. Not sure about the exaxt biological ages, but I think I kept it since...

Hello guys, I'm new here. I started in the aquarium world only 3 years ago. I try to unite a lot of fish in my aquarium and many plants. This has been very difficult as algae comes with this combination. But I'm trying. My molly was hit on a rock, made a wound. Two weeks later the wound...

I’ve come to this forum in hopes of getting some help or advice.. I’ve seen several posts on these awful parasites before and the advice given has been helpful, as people here seem to be knowledgeable and experienced with how parasites work. It’s my worst nightmare.... I noticed red worms in...

I am sorry for asking again, but can I ask for some help again? Today I just notice something off from my leopard bush fish. Around its snout, there are some white patch that is not cottonlike but more like a lesion (red circle in the photo). But there are also some black dot around the margin...

Pleas help. He’s sick and we need help, I originally posted this (link below) in the pleco bottom dweller forum but I thought I might get a better response here Only other notes: 1) we added the plant food yesterday Easy Green from aquarium co-op 2) Nitrates are high, close to 40 doing a water...

Hello All, I know that there is already a sticky thread for HITH, but I feel that I have exhausted all suggested troubleshooting methods so I am really hoping someone with experience can help me. I imported a flowerhorn from MFishHouseThailand (who btw sold me a fish that already had HITH...

It has been a month since I have got his. He had good Red colour. Now he had turned REALLY DARK, I assume it is because for the inappropriate WATER TEMPERATURE. I have bought a Thermometer from the Local Fish Store and was using it, the water was cold (an approx of 23c or less) I blindly trusted...

I have got my flowerhorn 2 months ago he was having some stress issues lately. Today I have observed that he is having 2 hole just above his mouth. I did my research on this and found that this is a disease call HOLE IN THE HEAD but I was unable to find a proper treatment for this problem. He...

Hi Everyone, my Acara is showing a really bad pop eye, the first day when i noticed, it was not that bad, i move it to a quarantine tank like 3 hours later, and was showing the cornea a little blurry and red areas. Since last Friday I'm treating him with Melafix, like 3 tablespoons of...

Hey I just purchased a fire eel but didn’t notice it had a pimple like bump on its body. Any ideas what it could be?

So, the most recent Christmas, I took a vacation and left one of my friends (who is also in the hobby) in charge. They did a pretty good job, but I think they might’ve over fed a bit. Over the next week, my bluegill develops a nasty case of hole in the head disease, so I put him in a separate 10...

Hey guys, I finally had the opportunity to pick up a paratilapia two days ago. I only payed 8 dollars probably because he has some kind of disease. I don't know what it is. I thought maybe columnarus but he's been alive for a while and I know that it is a quick killer. I'd love to keep this guy...

Good Morning All, I noticed one of my Scarlet Plecos currently in my 180 Gallon stomach looks a bit weird and also his anus area has a small protrusion. I tested the water and ph was 7.2, ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, and Nitrate < 30 PPM. I am strict about water changes and Filter maintenance and have...

Long story short made a rookie mistake and forgot to clean my filter during regular maintenance and shot disgusting water into the 30 gallon tank. Cleaned it again after and added an extra sponge filter just to be safe but the next day my flowerhorn had a strange gash behind it’s gills. Assuming...

Hi Please could somebody help with issue and potential treatment for my two Geos that are currently looking ill. No other fish in the tank seem to have any symptoms and everything else continues to feed fine but these two seem to be getting worse each day. Thanks

So I was scouring through a Piranha group I know of and noticed someone mentioned that overfeeding could lead to HITH. This got me thinking. So I was interested to find out what other ways and what guidelines I should follow to prevent HITH in Piraya. What do you guys do?
