Call Charles at Fish Ranch II, he helped me with an over the phone diagnosis, bought the treatment at his shop next day and saved the rest of the fish.  (713) 779-2593

Re: HELP NEEDED!

What are the symptoms? White spots, sores, blisters, slime... etc etc
What are your water parameters? pH, temp, Amonia, NitrItes, NitrAtes etc etc..
Any new additions recently? new fish, plants, inverts etc etc
What size is your tank and how long has it been set up?
How heavily populated is it?


It's hard for anyone to help without known at least some of these info.

Re: HELP NEEDED!

lol sry im new to fishbox i figured i would wait for replies then post more info XD the main thing i noticed on a few of the fish were:
Dragon Goby: it seemed like there was a hole in a thin layer of skin? slime? something
The baloon molly: seemed its bottom lip was bloody and torn up
The 2 guppies: i was trying to breed with a male and im not sure if it was the death of the balloon molly that also killed them but no visible body conditions.

My only guess would be i have some kind of Random goldfish in my tank that seemed to have a few white spots on the crest of his dorsal fin. not sure if it was attacked or ick. I put in some medicine called quick cure. or started to this afternoon.

Re: HELP NEEDED!

what all do you have in the tank?
how big is the tank?
when was last time you added a new fish?

bloody and torn up lip probably was a fight, and the other things if its not white spots all over then maybe it was attacked.  is anyone aggressive in tank?

[278923]

Re: HELP NEEDED!

ummmmm i would say most aggressive....... rainbow shark- been around a while.
dinosaur bichir-somewhat aggressive

and the bichir a rubber lip and a bristlenose were the newest along with some platies babies that were born.

Scroll down and look at the symptoms and see if any of them looks like your fish

Re: HELP NEEDED!

well this is my .02 but maybe one might have ich or something.  but i think your problem is aggression and some bully is beatin them up.  but if its ick someone else would have it or be gettin it.  ud now.  how big is the tank, and what is the exact fish content in the tank. whats your water parameters like nacra99 asked?

[278923]

Re: HELP NEEDED!

diddnt see any that looked familiar the fin thing im thinking was a territorial dispute or the "quick cure" masked or got rid of it an hour after application lol.

[mrairportjunke]

Re: HELP NEEDED!

ick wont go away in an hour.  we really need the specifics on the tank to help give a good idea or else we are just shootin in the dark.  fun but pointless.

[278923]

Re: HELP NEEDED!

ok my tank is.... i bought used so.... im gonna guess based off measurements 44gals  the water test shows.. Nitrates 0-20,Nitrites 0, Total hardness 75/Soft,chlorine 0,alkalinity 120,PH 7.2
