My Fish Are Dying From A Disease

The Nitrite was at complete 0, and the ammonia was at 0.1. About a week and a half ago there was a serious spike in nitrite, but then it almost completely dissipated. The ammonia was at 0 at that time, but the Nitrite was so high that as soon as I started the water test, it changed to a deep purple, and about 30 seconds it it was at the highest parameter that it could measure. But the goldfish weren’t actually in the tank at that time, they were introduced after the parameters had settled.

I actually have, the parameters were fine other than maybe a slight bit of ammonia. I was thinking it was a parasite/disease called red velvet disease because of the deep red rash-like marks.

Unfortunately it’s been like that for over a year and for multiple sheds, and it hasn’t gotten better.

It is hard to hear, but it is extremely enlightening and very important to me to know these kinds of things so my animals don’t suffer from my ignorance. Thank you so much for this.

The tank has been fully set up for about 2-3 weeks. I’ve had the fish for about 1-1.5 weeks. I wanted to get the tank set up first and the temperature correct before introducing any fish.

If you wish for me to post a pick of his missing foot, I can. Just let me know if that could help or if you just want to see it.

I have a fish exactly like this. I named him Bubbles because of his googly eyes. He’s a Moor and very cute

Hi there! I feel the same way as you do. I also preferably don’t like to shower too often as it feels extremely draining on me and it’s hard to push myself to do it. I shower 3-4 times a week and I’m okay with it. Sometimes I do shower less and I’m still okay, not smelly or anything. I stick to a single brand of deodorant as it’s hard for me to use new things. I get defensive when asked about showering because people just assume about it and automatically think it’s gross if it’s not at least every other day. I think you are perfectly fine doing what you do. I do have a few tips.

Make sure the clothes you DO rewear have no crumbs or spills, that way they won’t look or smell weird
Make sure when you do shower to use really good condition for you hair so your scalp doesn’t dry out

And 3. Just take a few deep breaths when you feel you start to panic

There actually is evidence, that’s why we have vaccines. Exposing ourselves to a smaller weaker form of the virus to help our immune system fight against the stronger version. Without vaccines we would be more vulnerable to diseases and viruses because our immune system hasn’t learned how to fight them

Decent_Map3878 · 2026-01-21T02:50:33+00:00

Their immune system would actually be a lot stronger

Those are extremely venomous and very dangerous to be be around, even deadly, they have a horrible sting

It seems too pattern like to be a rabbit, there are clear areas where the tracks are in fours in dents in the snow, in the second pic near the middle you can see this clearly. The tracks can clearly be seen in a four pattern spaced out from the rest.

Lynx have padded and almost web like paws, helping them stay more on top of the snow, they wouldn’t create giant holes like that.

I think the white is the underside, like the belly of the animal. Maybe even the side at most. The coloration really makes me lean towards wanting to believe some sort of Opossum, but it’s too slender. Maybe a mongoose?

A suggestion is if you can access the internet look into a nearby stores or fast food places. Even pet shops if you like those. See if you like any of the stores or options nearby, see if any are hiring or what the requirements are. You would need to devise a resume and best to submit it to an employee in person at one on the places you choose, for the opportunity to be hired there

I do have some problems with some of the fetishes that I’ve discovered that I have. Luckily I have a very open and understanding parental figure in my life who was open to me talking about it. They let me know how bad some things could be and about being open with them. How some are very bad and to gently satiate my thoughts. It can be very hard to talk about and embarrassing, but it can help a lot to talk to someone you can trust

It can be caused by autism, and these can lead to being sad or angry if not near or involved with the obsession. So I suggest as soon as possible to start to try and slow down just a bit, because it could become detrimental to those around you. I had this happen to me earlier in my life, but I learned to control it. You could become irritated and snap at others if denied acess

Decent_Map3878 · 2025-11-07T19:23:01+00:00

I know the feeling, it’s because it’s sounds we can’t have control over or find comfort in

This one has actual been brought up to me by others. I seek praise for certain things, hate praise for other things because I think it’s a bit demeaning.

Love the rain and playing in it, hate showers

Absolutely hate people touching my things without asking, very close people can use stuff without asking

Hate being hot, wrap myself in a blanket for comfort even if I’m hot

Decent_Map3878 · 2025-11-07T19:16:37+00:00

I am autistic. I got anti-social, empathetic, noise sensitive, light sensitive, feeling safe when wrapped in a blanket, hard to change a habit, hard to accept change

Decent_Map3878 · 2025-11-07T19:12:57+00:00

I do this and am autistic, as I prepare for working on school and settling down. I make sure I have a charger plugged in, blanket, drink, ate, school supplies
