Thank you. I’m adding another air stone now and will see what happens. The water flow is high so with 2 large air stones and clean water, I hope he gets better.

He has some white patches on his body, difficulty breathing; his gills stay open wide, and he will not eat. I ran out of test strips but last test a week ago was all good. I tested the PH few days ago and it was low, 6.5. after water change the PH was put to 7.2. All other fish are fine and...

I have a 4 year old angel in a community tank with tetras. Next to this tank is another 55 gal with an angelfish pair. Sunny watches them 24/7 and postures and cleans his area like a spawning father. Now he stopped eating about a week ago. Now he is having trouble breathing. The other fish in...

Thank you. Is it possible that the metroplex caused the stringy poop, like a purge? he didn’t have it until the third dose. Another weird thing. when i saw the spots show up initially, i did a 50% wc. Then did it every 2 days. after each water change the spots disappeared but then came back. i...

Twice now this has happened. The first time my angelfish got so much worse that he died. This time my angel was healthy except for the telltale signs of HITH. so i put him in a QT and he underwent 3 doses of metroplex and kanaplex. after third dose, the next day he now has an actual hole and the...

He has a hole through his gill and food comes out when he eats. He is always hungry now. He had an injury against rocks. He is currently in a saltwater bath. I bought some kanaplex and will apply today however I want to know if there is a liquid food I can give him so he can eat.

Thank you so much. That takes a lot of stress off me trying to figure out what to buy. I remember when one of my fishes had fungus on his eye and it went away. I think I’ll just keep water clean and watch him.

He has an injury that started healing and then developed what looks like fungus. In QT used melafix for weeks then Pimafix for a week, now salt started today following instructions for 30 gal tank. He is getting worse and won’t eat. So much advice too many products to choose from. I’ve never...

Thank you. I put a large air stone in as well. I can’t tell if he is having problems breathing using only one gill.

He is currently in the hospital tank. He got injured in the community tank probably from a fight with his friend and maybe against the rocks. The injured gill does not move correctly and the wounds look bad. I’m currently using Melafix starting yesterday. Any suggestions on other treatments for...

I have about 13 baby angelfish and need to rehome or sell to LFS. How big should they be to do this? I really hate to see them go because they are so cute but I don’t have the room.

Thank you so much for the excellent advice. I agree. The tall orange plastic plant looks a bit sharp on the tips. Out it goes.

He had a hole or tear that showed up today. Should I be concerned? Could this have happened in a skirmish with his buddy who is fine and all the fish are healthy with no issues. Will it heal back together? 55 gal tank.

well i guess all is well then. i don’t want to raise them but watching all the prior batches come and go, i’ve never seen a new batch start so quickly.

Why would she lay more eggs with babies swimming around? Babies are only about 3 or 4 weeks old. But they are dwindling. They have been eating crushed dried blood worms and flakes. I’m guessing they are being eaten by parents.
