It looks like it could be fibromas but I'm not qualified to confirm, I was going to suggest an aquarium vet. If it is fibromas, you can read about the condition here - What causes bumps on goldfish? - Fish Vet What to Do if Your Pet Fish Has Tumors Proper water quality goes a long way in...

Haven't seen her poop very much but I assume she does it when I'm not around. I will cut it back, and prepare her some peas now. Thanks for the advice. :-)

Maybe dose stresscoat and aquarium salt. He could have picked something up from stress. And I would turn lights off for a few days. Try bloodworm and other protein rich frozen foods to encourage him to eat. Hope he gets well soon.

Today I woke up and noticed my DG has something on her gills, missing scales or a wound. I was wondering if this could be DGIV. She eats really well and is very active, and has not lost any colour. She glass surfs sometimes but it's been getting less & less since she's fairly new and I recently...

If he is pineconing I've heard that epsom salt baths can help with dropsy.

Yeah he definitely looks sick. How long ago did your friend get them? His fin looks torn in the top pic.. I would try aquarium salt and dose stress coat. You can also try to feed him up with bloodworm and other protein rich foods.. He may well have picked up an parasite from stress if he's...

you could try an aquarium salt bath. Alternatively a swimbladder medication, as it does sound like swimbladder.

Yeah I think Cichlid man is right.

Watching my tank to make sure my powder blue DG is happy with her new platy friends. So far so good, here's a pic of them chilling out together. :)

I found this online: Bleach Dip For Aquarium Plants I would go extra heavy on the rinsing though as I'd be paranoid about bleach in my aquarium.

That's cool, some hornwort or bacopa would look great in there. :-)

Aww, bless you. It's horrible when you lose fish, but it's happened to us all some point or another, fishkeeping has a steep learning curve. I hope the rest of your tank will be okay, it sounds like you have it under control. :)

Sounds like they will be very happy with you :)

I would just rinse them under the tap and then dechlorinated water, but if you put straight in they'd be ok.

Yep, was also going to say methylene blue.

It might have been sick when you got it from the store or just weaker than the others. The salt should be fine in there but just remember it doesn't dessipate over time, the only way to take it out is water changes so keep a record of how much you put in so you don't overdose. Excuse me for...

Hello I'm also new so welcome :-) I think you're doing the right thing by going out to get more pandas, definitely. They feel secure in groups and right now there isn't enough of them to disperse the aggression and your panda is the weakest link. Your Julii is probably just trying to defend...

LOL that's funny, nice jar.

Thank you :-) for about 2 weeks now. He is the picture of good health, loves his food - I've woke up this morning and he's doing fine no glass surfing so perhaps he just needed to get used to his new tankmates. I ordered 3 females as I worried he needed his own kind but I might cancel them...

Never seen that strain but the lateral line tells me they are, how unusual.
