My yellow platy is a male, and he’s so bloated he looks pregnant which he obviously isn’t cuz he’s a dude, but even some of the babies look bloated. What is the issue?? Everyone swims fine they act normal as well. I don’t overfeed, I only do as much they can eat within a minute or two and they fast at least 2 days out of the week

I keep getting this weird film on the top of the water. I did a water change maybe a week ago or less and purposely tried to suction all the film and water from the top I got pretty much all of it as much as I could and now it’s back and it’s back x20. Why is it so thick and weird like and how do I keep it from coming back

Also in the last picture is that a bubble nest?

Was checking out my tank when I noticed my plant is growing pubes. Is this the dreaded black beard algae I’ve heard of?? What the hell do I do, has my time come and im fucked??

Had to euthanize my fish today. She’s been sick for about 2 months I’ve treated her with numerous things and 2 days ago she just went rapidly downhill. Poor girl couldn’t swim anymore, her body was curved and she was breathing heavy and tonight started pineconing. I did everything I could and spent about $70 in medicine total. Unfortunately I couldn’t get clove oil, and had to have my boyfriend euthanize her with blunt force. I didn’t look but when I heard it being done I instantly started crying. I still can’t get the sound out of my head. I’m so upset and wish she could’ve just died naturally or more quickly instead of suffering so much being so sick. I know it was the right thing to do but it still hurts. She was my favorite fish… the picture is her in good health I’d rather remember her that way:(

This poor girls been sick since April 26th. I’ve treated with maracyn twice, expel p twice, and now general api cure. She’s only gotten worse, she’s doing a salt bath now tho I fear it won’t help. I don’t have clove oil to euthanize I wish I did and I can’t get any till tomorrow. Should I makeshift this 2.5 gal as a hospital tank, or should I return her to her home? No matter what I do I feel like she’s going to pass soon and idk if it’d be better to pass in this tank or her home tank.

A little over a month ago I had an ich outbreak, treated it then about 2 weeks later it came back and only this fish and my pleco was affected. Treated it again, all fish got better but pleco got worse and died. Also treated with two other things after the ich treatment for bacterial infection and fungal infections because she looked like she had a bacterial and the pleco looked like he could’ve had a fungal. Since then this one’s continued appearing stressed and hasn’t unclamped her fins since. Now today shes starting to look funny and like her bodies not straight the lower half seems crooked like she’s got scoliosis but she’s never appeared like that before. She still eats fine, but something is definitely wrong with her. Got my water tested 2 days ago and everything was good. Water change maybe every 2 weeks or so

Anyone wanna help with names? Also if anyone knows what species betta he is I’d like to know. Thank you!

So about a week ago my pleco had white spots all over him, i assumed it was ich as one of my platys also had a few white spots. I treated the tank, and the spots went away on my platy, but then she got worse and had what i was told was wasting parasite. So i treated the tank with stuff for that as well, did an about a 70% water change the day after. The next day i saw my pleco still had white spots, so i did another ich treatment and now today he’s worse and I’m suspecting it’s something else maybe fungal? The platy that had the parasite is doing better at treatment. During this time and now none of the other 4 fish have had symptoms, only 2 acting a little stressed besides the 2 sick ones counting the pleco, and then the other 2 acting totally normal. I have no idea what’s going on, and I’m going today to get my water tested. Any help is appreciated
