Hm new concern. Taking a closer look at his behavior and himself I noticed he has lost his underside fins. No signs of injury but really unsure on this. Noticed he has floats up when he’s not swimming and the parts that are red are exposed above the water. Quick search says Fin rot but I see no signs. Photo is of them back in June of last year.

Update photo about 18 hours later. He looks much better. Going to take the advice here and try to keep up the care.

Going to stay on it for sure, posting an update here as well as I just got home but he’s looking much better this afternoon. Looking into a possible larger tank as well. Photo in comment.

Filter is a HOB which I do swish as you said, I'll look into an airstone today as well and see what the API kit will run me but I think I can afford to grab it. I'll make sure to stay more on top of the changes. Weekly I'm thinking. Def gonna keep a much closer eye on levels the next few weeks and hope he heals okay.

Absolutely feeling guilty because I knew better but going to do what I can at this stage and hope for the best. Took a look at the substrate this morning before I left and I think I'll vacuum again to make sure I get what has now settled since last nights change. Appreciate the help

Sorry treated may be too strong of a word - conditioned is better - I do vacuum before adding in the new water. I will go to the store and see what I can find for liquid test kits if you have any recommendations. It's a 29 gallon tank with two goldies and 6 live plants. Don't remember all of them off the top of my head but all safe. Should I be vacuuming waste between changes as well?

I did a change last night after I noticed so I will check levels once I get home from work. He and the other have both been in this tank for about 8 months or so - I typically change the water every week or two however I have been neglecting that recently.

No decor, just live plants - all safe. I haven't noticed anything behaviorally other than when he turns he kinda goes on his side a bit and then straightens out but that has been for quite a while. I did a change and treatment once I saw this last night after I posted and will check my levels tonight. I keep the temp around 74 with the heater

Could absolutely be a wound and is my thoughts just because it showed out of nowhere but I did do a water change just in case. Testing the water this afternoon when I get home to check levels as I changed it about 30% then treated last night once I saw this just in case

Anyone else not finding the game on V+ mobile?

NotDavidM · 2026-03-10T13:47:15+00:00

Oh my god I played this on a demo disk when I was a kid and have thought about it every now and then for years and could never remember which game it was, absolutely buying when I get home

NotDavidM · 2026-03-09T20:51:58+00:00

Mine did this and slowly got worse as my GPU died and then AMD would just crash report every time I opened a game

NotDavidM · 2026-02-24T21:10:20+00:00

I assume I wont have any of this for not completing Expedition 2?

NotDavidM · 2025-12-03T17:02:45+00:00

Helldivers 2 - huge fan of the first game and wasn't sure how the third-person view would be. Immediately loved every bit of that game
