My blood parrot cichlid has always been healthy, these past 7 months I’ve had him but just today I noticed his whole body covered by white spots.
I immediately went to the pet shop (Petco) and purchased the Ich medicine, Mardel Copper Safe.

I changed out his water and put the med’s in. He was so good when he was in the plastic baggy waiting for the water temps to be adjusted but after a few minutes of going into the aquarium, he lost balance and would go to the bottom and on his side.

I am really worried. I truly love this guy and don’t want to lose him. Do you think he is dieing? He will still come up for food but goes back down after and stays at the bottom sort of to one side.

Help!! Thanks in advance.

my fish have always been well looked after and suddenly my 7 year old striped dora cat fish died with no warnings but i did notice he was swollen when we took him out. Also we have just had to put another in the hospital tank and put internal bacteria medicine in as he looks ill too. I know what the problem is but i don’t know why it has happened. Could someone tell me what to do to save my other fish.

Hi,

I recently bought some new fish to add to my tank, the fish have been in the tank for 4 days now and have been very active, i noticed last night that the tail on my fighter fish was looking a bit ragged, but this morning I have awoken to my fighter fish’s tail almost gone, the fins seem to be around the bone structure only, My bristlenose catfish also, no dorsal fin (he is dead) and my small neon tetras seem to also have rugged fins, but a white patch on the abdoman. I understand this could be fin rot, but would like an expert fish keepers oppinion.

Thanks xox
I checked with the man in the pet shop and he said it was fine to mix them, tbh the fighter fish was in a tank with catfish… im sure its a disease xxx
I have a 60L tank, with 1 Fighter Fish, 3 Dalmation Mollies and 9 Neon Tetras and now 2 bristle nose cat fish, My tank temp is 31, and p.h is 6.2. xxx
I have had my tank up and running for almost 3 years, before this i kept 2 angelfish, but they both died around 2 weeks ago at a few days apart, i carried out a 50% water change and added water coditioner and stress zyme app 10 days before adding new fish.
Hey, U are not supposed to keep fighter fish together, hence then name, they fight each other to the death! Its 1 male fighter fish to every 3 females and even then it can be risky! sorry xxx
Siamese… He isnt in the tank with any fin nippers or other fish with long flowing tails
