I do think she's thin. You're definitely not imagining that. I just don't think she is dangerously thin. If we get the flu, and poo a lot, we lose weight too. But I've seen pics where their tummy sinks right in and has a big hollow. You said she is still eating, right? If you keep her in...

Well maybe just keep clean water for a couple of days. See if dropping the stress levels help. I will find you a pick of a week plAtys with wasting disease- hang on. Add: She is skinny, but not dangerously yet. Found a pic, tryinG to gEt it to upload. I'm sorry, just realised that I can't...

I keep an extra tiny filter running in my big tank for use in quarantine when needed. That, and a couple handfuls of gravel from main tank have worked for me to jumpstart a cycle. Still have to watch for spikes though. I don't think wisteria is enough.

Lol depends on what you call healthy. Your fish does not look unhealthy weight-wise to me. I assume not to anyone else, or they would have mentioned it. If it continues to waste away it would be concerning, but you're not there yet. The white patches are a different matter because it has...

I don't. Showed the first pic to my friend here who mentioned gas bubble disease. I can't enlarge the video on my phone to see it like I could with the photo. So I can't see what you mean about the fungus appearance. Honestly, I'm going to bow out so that I don't give you bad information, but...

Ive just read this whole thread from start to finish again, and there is a whole lot of information here. Two people have said the poo didn't look like worms. (The usual internal parasite suspect). So that could mean your fish was constipated and is clearing, or has a bacterial infection, which...

Are you sure that the fish wasn't just very constipated and is now finally clearing itself? I can see the white both on the side and what looks like almost a band of white on the tail. Whitewolf what do you make of it? It's better - for dips! Not sure about making them poo though...

I am not going to comment on individual medications and whether you should use them. I will say that medications made for aquarium fish when used correctly, following directions etc are generally safe. BUT if it's an internal parasite that you are wanting to treat, AverageDewdrop is right...

Thank you! I love the variety and the fact it can be stored in the freezer. I've been a bit lax with fresh(ish) food lately, they only get it once a week now. This would solve that problem. My fish will thank you too!

Is there a website? I saw the prices in euro's...I'd best buy before brexit!!

Try feeding him more meat (worms or bugs). As they age, their diet requirements change. Maybe that, and the bigger tank size, will settle him.

Mine is still young and I've yet to see the change, so I really can't comment on how fast happens. I've just read that it does happen. ..but we never really know how old fish are when we buy them. As for their size... like anything, some are bigger than others. The largest recorded in...

Chinese algae eaters are notorious for becoming aggressive as they age, and the colour change is the indicator. They also can grow very large, a 10 gallon seems really small for one of them, let alone 2.

First, can I congratulate you on your excellent record keeping? Wow. Makes it easier to see what's going on, long term when you keep that kind of diary. I think we need to know the tank size before anyone can comment on adding fish though.

So sorry this is happening! I think more background information might make it easier for people to help you. There is fish emergency template on this site. You can find it using search. If you fill it in here, then you won't have to answer loads of questions before getting the help you need...

Oh I am so sorry you're going through this! It sounds like you're doing everything you can with what you have to hand...honestly, fresh (treated) water is your best friend right now. As many large-ish water changes you can give along with your salt dip. The only thing would say, probably...

Multi-family member multi-tank syndrome is a thing!

Considering the first tank was a birthday present for him...he can't say much really. Up to 3 tanks now and what I've found is if I ask, I do not get. But if I just go get...he's not bothered. it works.

Hey! Welcome . mattgirl and Momgoose56 are really good for cycling knowledge and patient with it to boot. Hopefully they will see this when they are on-line. Can't wait to see pics!

DoubleDutch and Corydora are really good with Cory advice. Hopefully they will see this when they are next on-site.
