my fish have ich, i’ve been treating them with ich attack. However today i noticed all of my fish are starting to swim on their sides or struggle to swim. I’ve hospitalized two fish where ive noticed it the most as well as the fish that somehow got its fin cut off. I have no idea what to do because my whole school is affected. I tested the water levels yesterday and the ph was 7.6, the ammonia was 0 as was the nitrite. The nitrate was 5. i genuinely have no idea why they declined so fast! I need some help please!

I added api general care in my 40 gal because my tertras have wasting disease. Now my shrimp are going crazy, they are swimming around the tank, doing flips, going to the top, and darting around. Am i accidentally killing them?

I have a rabbit snail that has scraping from my rocks in my current tank. I was thinking about removing the rocks however the large rock which causes the major issue is my plecos favorite hiding spot. I’m trying to find a way to help my snail while keeping my fish happy so i was wondering what the minimum tanks would be for them since they are a bit larger. I understand their snails but i also feel bad if it’s unhappy in a small tank.

I’ve decided i’m going to create a beta tank and i want to make sure i do it right. Is there specific plants betas like a lot or that are just good for scaping? What lights should i have for the tank and what tank size, also what type of substrate do betas like idk if they would prevel gravel or sand. How much enrichment would my beta need? Any advice welcome! Thank you 🫰

I have a rubber lip and a clown pleco in a 40 gallon. My question is do i need to upgrade the tank for them? i have 11 other fish in the tank however they are tetras so they aren’t very big, are they okay to stay in my 40 gal??

Is it possible to have endlers and guppies without an overpopulation issue? I want to be able to keep them however i’m worried that my tank will be overcrowded very quickly.

My tertras have been skinny for a while and i’ve been trying to get their weight up because
i thought maybe i was under feeding them however it’s been months and they’ve stayed the same, if anything look thinner and longer. I just bought new black neon tertras a couple days ago before i looked into wasting disease. How do i treat it and do i worry about the new tertras getting it? How did mine get it in the first place? i’m very lost, ive never had a fish need extra help like this!

I have a group of neon tertras and black neon tertras, i also have two amano shrimp and about 10 wild neocardino shrimp. I have a rabbit snail and just purchased 3 nerite snails. i have two plecos as well. I have no idea what to feed any of them. I’ve been feeding my tetras the hikari micro pellets and they seem to like it. Occasionally i will give my pleco mini algae wafers but they never seem to eat them. I’ve noticed my shrimp struggling to molt in the last couple days and that is very worrisome to me, is there a specific food i can give them for more calcium? I used to have mystery snails but they all started dying even when my water conditions were perfect, it makes me wonder if i was accidentally starving them. I also need to know how often i should be feeding my tertras because my black neon tertras circle the top of the tank looking for food and it has nothing to do with my water conditions because they are good.
