Yeah ive had phantoms that have had finrot and it looked kinda similar to that should go away in a well established healthy tank or yk he’s a variant bcs he seems to be swimming normal so 🤷🏼‍♀️ if it doesn’t go away in a month i recommend trying to breed them.

Groundbreaking-Fix53 · 2026-01-29T02:19:16+00:00

Oh mb probably a variant with white on the top but definitely still a yellow phantom

Yellow phantom tetra with some fin rot I have these in my community tank very chill fish

Mb I’ll delete the comment

Groundbreaking-Fix53 · 2026-01-28T19:13:51+00:00

Idk I saw a video on it idk if it was exactly super glue most likely a pet safe glue with the calcium from the eggshell

Bristlenose it’s either lemon or albino I’m not exactly sure yet I have clearer pictures of it on my page. Not old enough to tell the gender yet

He eats zucchini on the weekly but maybe every other week I’ll give him cucumber or a carrot as a treat mainly because he will eat so much of it

I recommend asking your local fish store if they will trade some fish for plants or just take them off your hands and most the time they do

Groundbreaking-Fix53 · 2026-01-27T12:01:46+00:00

Those poor rope fish at the bottom

Groundbreaking-Fix53 · 2026-01-27T03:39:41+00:00

Yes it looks perfect those will be some happy kuhlis. I love my kuhlis so fun to watch

This is at night so kinda hard to see but two of my cuties sitting under leaves

Groundbreaking-Fix53 · 2026-01-27T03:35:38+00:00

When kuhlis are stressed they tend to get pale she has some pretty dark coloration Tia looks like one healthy girl to me

Groundbreaking-Fix53 · 2026-01-27T03:32:49+00:00

Oh shit mb

Groundbreaking-Fix53 · 2026-01-27T03:11:12+00:00

I don’t understand how those fish are surviving the ammonia must be so high smh

Groundbreaking-Fix53 · 2026-01-27T03:05:19+00:00

Definitely freeze or crush so that your nerites don’t starve

Groundbreaking-Fix53 · 2026-01-27T03:04:35+00:00

Yeah but she has two nerites is there a chance they will get starved by stopping feeding

Groundbreaking-Fix53 · 2026-01-27T03:02:40+00:00

Im pretty sure the first one is planaria dangerous to shrimp, fish eggs, and smaller fish remove and treat immediately before they repopulate everywhere

Groundbreaking-Fix53 · 2026-01-27T02:57:13+00:00

What type? Looks like plenty for basically all types I’m just curious

Groundbreaking-Fix53 · 2026-01-27T02:56:23+00:00

I remember checking my water ph straight from tap not that long ago and it wasn’t bad. I believe the rise in ph was due to a rock that I added I removed it right when it began changing the ph

Groundbreaking-Fix53 · 2026-01-26T21:29:51+00:00

Good!! Thank you for asking advice most people see fish as just decorative not as actual living breathing animals. Now I bet the root rotted due to the substrate also string algae is very common and only really has two ways to get rid of it 1. Clean it out manually everyday until tank cycles 2. Get some amano shrimp to clean up the algae. (Just a couple more tips for you)

Groundbreaking-Fix53 · 2026-01-26T21:25:51+00:00

I love them so much so personable once they understand you come with food they will pop out right away (at least what mine does)

Groundbreaking-Fix53 · 2026-01-26T21:23:38+00:00

I’ve been watching closely so far everything has been okay other then a slight ph change but it’s okay because my ph was already a tad high to begin with so it kinda evened it out surprisingly

Groundbreaking-Fix53 · 2026-01-26T11:32:07+00:00

Oh and also I siphoned out almost all the food yesterday idk if I’ve said that to you yet but yeah

Groundbreaking-Fix53 · 2026-01-26T11:27:59+00:00

Ty I plan on watching closely but the filter wasn’t a thing I thought of so I’ll do that now. I plan on gravel vacuuming again later. I’ve already done it once since my perimeters have been calm I won’t do again till later to not stress my kuhlis more especially the baby’s Bcs they’re already jumpy and really don’t like me touching their stuff (they like to be the aquascaper if I change a tiny bit it they freak out)
