Alright, thank you very much! Guess my five gal will be filled with extra plants for a few weeks, lol. Should i wait until ive done enough water changes to get it all out of the eater to be safe or can i put them back in just one or two water changes after the treatment? Thank you very much...

I have made a few posts about this but never gotten any definitive replies. Tank is 10 gal, 3 other cories (no issues), 1 betta (a little bit of fin rot caught from the cory). (Note: I know albino cories should be kept in larger tanks but i am going to upgrade them when they get bigger, they are...

Is API Fin and Body cure safe for plants? I want to know before i use it if i have to take out the plants i have in my tank so it doesnt kill them, i have to order it online and i cant find the full label anywhere. Also, does it have any salt? Ive seen some reviews saying that it has salt even...

Should i quarentine him to use API fin and body cure? In other words, will it hurt the healthy fish i have in there or can i use it in the main tank?

Dont worry its np : ) thanks!

You could probably make it work, although that doesn’t sound like a very good location for any fish. they would probably get used to it after a while, but they would be much more stressed. Also fully stock the tank with one species of cories, they like to be with the same species.

He does, but they are pretty much just stubs. None of the fins have rotted down the body yet but its close. (Do keep in mind it has only rotted a little, most of them just tore a lot off when he fell). He does try to swim around, but its more of just wiggling and moving forward slowly, he gets...

Hi, for tank info about tank mates and set up just look at the aquarium info real quick. Weekly water change 50% and according to some other advice on the forum I’m going to start doing it more often for clean water to treat the fin rot. So my albino Cory jumped out of the tank about a month...

I have been monitoring the Cory a little more closely and I think the erratic swimming is just the new patterns of swimming he has to do since he doesn’t really have fins other than tiny stubs anymore, so my main thing now is just fixing the fin rot and checking if theres any thing i can do to...

Oh ok that makes more sense thanks for clarifying for them also thanks for adding the stuff about zebra loaches

I agree with that. And do it ASAP. Have the bettas gills always been red? If they have it’s probably just the coloring. If not you should be more worried. What do you mean glue for the fin? I have never heard that term before. Also upgrade sooner more than later, this is all probably what is...

Thanks for the picture- the pic is a little blurry so I’m just curious if theres one spot or if the whole gill is red? Or is that just his coloring? Also the white near the gill is his fins correct?

Bettas cannot be kept with neon tetras safely, they nip the fins. I’m not sure about gold zebra loaches, but you can’t keepthat many fish in a 5 gallon. put the neon tetras in a 20-30 gal minimum, and the gold zebra loaches need to be in a 45 gal minimum fully grown according to a quick google...

I agree with what everyone said. Tetras shouldn’t be kept with bettas since they nip fins

Agree with what everyone wrote, but keep it on for around 8 hours or so and lower the intensity for about an hour then turn it off. They need a day and night period like most fish- just thought I’d add this since others didnt mention it. They are also most active at dusk and dawn

when did it appear? What size tank is he in? What are the parameters? What do you feed him and how much? What tank mates does he have? how old is he? How long have you had him? Could you include a picture? Maybe you could fill out the emergency template so we can get a better idea of his care...

Why? What do you think is wrong with him? Also all of the fish are acting like that, does that mean i should euthanize all of them? Ok, thanks!

Hi so this is what i had been talking about earlier, he keeps doing this and staying there until i move something near him and startle him. My other fish are starting to do this as well, and my betta is starting to do the same but on the other side of the decoration. What do i do about this, i...

Oh, ok! What should i do about that? How can i keep it from happening?

what about the substrate? i made sure to get a small and smooth gravel so it wouldnt hurt them that much but I could be wrong. And like StarGirl said, i thought it hurt the barbels and not the fins? how could i tell if there was a build up? i vacuum the substrate thoroughly when i do a water...
