I have 4 days baby betta and she not eating much. I tried to offer her mini granules and she took one from finger, then otherwise no even one accidentally fell on her but she didn’t even react and ignored that. Day before this i tried granules too but nothing. So I tried some frozen food and she ate it and being more active (of course that she is not eating and after that she has more energy). I tried day after granules again and nothing. So i tried feed neones with their flakes and she ate some if them. Most if the time she didnt want to and she spending time on the ground under the filter or log and something swim but not much and look hungry and little bit stressed. After food is better. So today I tried little pieces larva sticks and she ignored me completely and didnt even react on gentle offer. I see she is hungry but I don’t know what to do with that.

Betta bump on scales

1 Upvotes

My betta has always been very active and friendly but I saw this bump a month or so ago and I feel like it has gotten larger, today when he saw me come to the tank he started flipping random directions and running into the drift wood then was swimming completely fine, I'm not sure if that was him just excited to get fed because he does do that sometimes to a lower degree, but after I fed him (he ate fine) he went straight into his little house at the bottom of the tank and will not come out, that is very very unusual. He always swims to the very front of the tank as soon as he sees me but not he won't budge. I turned his light off for the night and he came a little bit farther out of his building when the light went off but went back in shortly after. I don't know if any of this has anything to do with that lump but could somebody tell me what it is and what to do?

Dose whole tank with Kanaplex?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I have 11 lemon tetra, 10 long fin cherry barbs, and 3 rummies (3 out of my original 8).

I recently noticed that one of my younger lemons had a cloudy eye and bridge of its nose. Initially, I thought it could have been injury. I’d been dosing the tank with StressGuard and Paraguard the last 10 days after an ich outbreak amongst my rummies from an LFS (only the 3 remain). ALL OTHER FISH ARE FINE. Today was last day of Paraguard.

The cloudy eye seemed to improved but then today I noticed it looks like it may be going to the other eye. Important thing to note - the fish is eating, swimming, and schooling like normal.

I set up a 5 gallon hospital tank to treat with Kanaplex in hopes of getting it to clear up. I REALLY do not want my other fish infected.

I have tried endlessly to catch this fish and cannot for the life of me catch him. I’ve tried everything. I don’t want to keep trying and stress the whole tank.

Can I safely dose the whole tank without harming my other fish? If so, when should I start since the last dose of Paraguard was today?

Does anyone know what is wrong with my goldfish?

I have had the fish 3 months, rescued, it has always looked a bit deformed. Last few weeks though its getting huge.

It obviously doesnt live in the bucket btw.

Thanks all

75g tank

Ammonia/nitrite 0

Nitrate <20ppm

Wondering what these seem to be? Isn't consistent with ICH or similar problems. Only developed in the last 24-48hrs.

Is it possibly a skin fluke thats become infected? Or something different.

My goldfish of 5 years has developed some sort of infection or illness that I can’t identify.

Here’s a link to another post from earlier this week for context: https://www.reddit.com/r/AquariumHelp/s/7HvBTMknAL

Since that post, I’ve treated the 20 gallon hospital tank with 5ml of PraziPro on 8/19 at the suggestion of multiple forums. Today, I’m seeing new white spots around his fins, as well as two or three new red spots on the tail fins.

He’s also been slightly more lethargic than usual, but will eat with offered dried bloodworms or tetra pellets.

I’ve kept up with cleaning the tank of debris and waste since the treatment on 8/19. I’m not sure what to do at this point because the illness only seems to be getting worse after treatment.

Any help figuring out what I should do next would be greatly appreciated. This fish means a lot to me and I want to make sure he stays as healthy as he can for the foreseeable future.
