I noticed that my fish had an injury around Sunday. I did a water change and treated it with Tetra Lifeguard for the last few days. I looked this morning, and it looked worse. I don't know what to treat it with, like should I use an antibacterial medication or what? Please help me to know what...

I have snails and do do water changes. Thanks for the great info. Thankyou! I will look into this.

Hello! So I have a 10 gallon tank set up, but algae is the worst. The algae just keeps coming back. What are some ways to get rid of it? I have fish in there and want to be careful with them. I will try to reduce light. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Fishlore! I hope you like it here.

I am no expert, but if you can separate the infected ones I think that may help.

Would a 2.5 work as a quarantine tank? How long do I quarantine? What medicine would you recommend? No I don't have Methylene Blue, I don't think. Thanks.

What is this on my cherry barb? I feel like I notice it a good bit when the water is just cleaned. I did just recently clean the tank, so please excuse the mirky water. Thanks.

Welcome to Fishlore!

UPDATE: Aggression is mounting between the two skirt tetras, please help.

Hello and welcome to Fishlore! What kind of barb is it? Also, schooling fish (such as barbs) can be very aggressive when in small groups. I know this from personal experience, but if you change up the decor, you may be able to stop some aggressiveness. Also, make sure you aren't feeding them too...

Hello and welcome to Fishlore! It would really help if you could tell us what kind of glowfish. Also, is it a tall, cube, or long ten gallon?

They actually can survive, but it may not be the best thing. However, I keep 2 together and they are perfectly fine in a ten gallon tank, though they are kept with a few other barb species. Also it may be wise to let the tank settle a bit before you add anymore. Just FYI I am still a beginner...

It's pretty!

Another update: They are acting pretty good, still a little concerned. The main one is still hiding a bit, but the spots are multiplying. That is very dramatic, there are a few other spots that have formed. The original spots have stayed, so it isn't ich/ick. I changed the water a few days ago...

I may just leave it and change it in a few days to stay on schedule. I have left it alone the past few days, so I think it should be fine. Thanks all.
