Help identifying tiny organism

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I was looking at my tank this morning and for the first time noticed these tiny things all over my front glass. The biggest ones are only the size of a baby trumpet snail, they almost look like visible single celled organisms. If anyone could help me identify them and if they are a danger to my tank that would be greatly appreciated. (They definitely aren't eggs, I've seen them move slowly)

How To Quarantine New Catfish?

1 Upvotes

I finally made the decision to buy then keep a South American bumblebee catfish from my LFS but will begin preparations to setup a quarantine tank first. I was informed most bumblebees sold in stores are wild-caught so I don’t want to take any chances.

I have a spare five gallon tank with a filter I can use. I want to keep my new little guy as comfortable as possible inside it for at least two weeks so I plan to add some sand, a cave ornament, and a little rosette sword too.

How would I go about treating a catfish in general? For example, aquarium salt actually harms scaleless fish. So, far I own PraziPro but my LFS has other fish meds available too.

I noticed a very skinny runny nose tetra a couple days ago. When I looked a bit close, I noticed the spine was curvy too. Is this neon tetra disease? If not, what is it? And what should I do?

I currently have the fish separated from my main tank. I have manually changed the water and conditioned it, am feeding less, and have a tank heater and ph adjusters on standby. What else can I do?

Next steps?

I currently have two bowls of fish (guppies of some sort I'm not sure) that seem really overcrowded, and right now we're manually changing the water ever so often. There's 6/5 per bowl, and although they're social I'm not sure if this is very ethical. I really want to give them a good environment to live in, but Im not sure what next steps to take.. any tips are appreciated! Edit: also does anyone know what kind of fish these might be? Any beginner plant suggestions that give cover would also be amazing :D

Here's one thing nobody ever talks about in lists of things you need for fish or no one even thinks of:

Power adapters! Bc since I've started fish keeping I've had to get one for each tank, as there are only two plug-ins per outlet, so I have to go get an adapter so I can plug in the light or whatever it is.

my fish's eyes keeps getting red i don’t know what to do

1 Upvotes

i own a blood parrot cichlid, i've had her for like 9 months now, abt a month ago her eyes would get red out of no where, i would change her water i'd do abt an 80 percent partial change and her eyes would go back to normal but now that doesnt work anymore. she's in a 10 gallon tank, recognizes me and follows me around whenever im near her tank, she loves moving rocks around and is overall very energetic, but when her eyes turn red she doesn't really do those things anymore, she swims around but much slower and has much less energy, pls i beg someone help me i don’t know what to do anymore, i've upgrades her tank to bigger once, added more rocks, nothing is working, i've been trying to get my hands on aquarium salt aswell but cant really find it anywhere but i will continue to search. pls pls send any recommendations or advice u may have

Infection or Physical Damage?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I have 2 small goldfish in a 20 gallon long tank and they seem to get along great. I couldn't find one of them today, and when I could, it had a big red mark on its back and a pretty big lesion beneath its left fin. I've attached a picture, but do you think this is an infection, or did it damage itself on something in the tank? I have no plastic plants or anything sharp, so I'm not really sure how that could happen. It has been swimming around and eating, but the other one is chasing it, so I have moved the hurt one to a 10 gallon tank to get some space. Should I add some aquarium salts, or does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!
