I know, I can't find anything about it. But it's def new because I inspect them regularly. I hope he doesn't have some internal issue but for now he's fine. Thanks!

I have a black moor that's approx. 2 yrs old. He has always had crooked eyes, they point in slightly different ways. I noticed yesterday that one pupil is noticably bigger than the other. He's acting normal. Ammo 0 nitrites 0 ph 8.2 nitrates 30-40 (20 out the tap) Not sure if this means there is...

It not great. I have the whisper filter I believe, possibly on low? I'll have to check when I get home but I do tend to get excess film and foam on top.

I do about 60% weekly, 5 gal. I only have moss right now. Ive slowly been taking everything since I have a pretty bad planaria issue. Some of the snails shells r good, some not. I supply them with cuttlebone, have done eggshell but that made planaria worse, and feed them veggies regularly. My 2...

Nitrates are about 20-30 out the tap. ph 7.8 ish tho I'd say it's closer to 8.2 in the tank so slightly raises over time. Also no ammonia in the tap, tho I have never seen ammonia do that to snails before anyway, even in a cycling tank. Not saying it doesn't happen just never has with mine...

I have a 10 gal specifically for ramshorns. We just moved to a different county and our water here isn't great since it has high nitrates. Anyway, every time I do a water change for the snails, they fall over on their sides and stay that way for roughly a week to 2 weeks. They will retract back...

No i dont put any bubbler in them or anything that breaks the water surface. I didnt know biofilm occured just with sitting water, i figured it was cause by the fish/living organisms in a tank

So i use 2 totes to age water in since my ph from the tap is diff than the tank. I just got rid of the last 2 i had cuz i noticed a film that also gets a little bubbly when u stir it on top of the water every time. I figured those had been contaminated sometime before i used them for water. Now...

What is the ph of the tap water u use? Let some water sit in a cup for 24hrs and check the ph after 24hrs. Whatever the ph is from ur tap is what u want ur tanks ph to be. That ph junk ur using will prob cause u issues in the long run. U dont need a certain ph unless u have extremely...

U just said that the ph was a little high when u last checked....what was it?

Dont worry about the ph. Its ok if its a little high. Honestly the fish is prob sick cuz the ammonia and nitrites, then u adding ph regulator and the stress of an overstocked tank. A pic of the scales would help tremendously. Messing with the ph is going to cause a crash or swings which is more...

So ive been posting a lot lately pretty much tryin to figure out what is wrong with my goldies. I dosed prazi pro for what i thought might b flukes and then what look like ich appeared the next day just on 1 fish. Let the prazi stay in tank for 3 days then did a water change and treated for ich...

No he doesnt float, he sinks actually. Thanks

Thanks everyone for ur thoughts. His siblings dont mess with him at all which is good. I do have clove oil if anything goes south but for now hes safe and living as best a life as he can. ❤

Thats a great idea once hes big enough! His mouth is slightly deformed as well so i need to grind his food down, hes growing slowly but so is everyone in the disability tank. Thats really cool tho thanks.
