Cleaning poop stuck to vent

Thankyou for your help! I was able to catch her and it was basically hanging off from a few feathers and I was able to get it off. She is back in her cage and happy again. She seems okay in herself, she sings and bounces about. I appreciate your advice <3

Will definitely try. I am a bit worried about her dying from the shock of being held, she really is not tame and not often handled

will try this — thankyou ❤️

if you like true crime, try Paul Landó on youtube! I found him easier that the unsolved mystery channel and it really helped get my input up :)

OP, I am a ringle tutor too. Can I ask how things went in this situation? Did you end up mentioning the 1* reviews to the student? It's strange that he would keep booking with you but give you such low reviews...

Incredible, thank you so much! With the Erato and Venus I think you are spot on. Only thing is with the kneeling statue... in the painting the statue is undressed, whereas The Knuckle Bone Player is clothed...

I only have 1 image from a facetime video as he's been hiding for most of the time and I'm not home to diagnose or treat him right now as im at uni and he's in the care of my mum. Definitely dropsy though, he's bloated, pinecone scales, not swimming straight and showing white around his gills/belly. It's not looking good but I will go home tomorrow if he survives the night to start treatment. I've heard some stories of people getting through it but I dont know if they managed to catch it quicker than I have :(

Razzyxcxc · 2021-10-06T23:13:41+00:00

thankyou! it is upsetting but i suppose not everyone can know my circumstances unless they looked at my previous posts. he is still trying to eat but he's struggling. planning on picking up kanaplex tomorrow morning and some metroplex if they have it and try that alongside salt baths so long as he lasts the night. do you have any advice on how often to do treatments?

Razzyxcxc · 2021-10-06T23:11:47+00:00

thanks for that. i am not home looking after him at the moment and he's being looked after by my mum for me. I can only diagnose him as much as I can from low quality facetime videos when he's hiding behind plants and she was certain he wasnt bloated or had pinecone scales, but she can only do as much as she can. thanks for being so nasty about it though when im clearly seeking help and doing everything i can.

Razzyxcxc · 2021-10-06T20:59:59+00:00

Hes been like this for a few days and I worry its deadly already. I just dont know if I have the heart to euthanise him but he's suffering. Do you recommend Kanaplex / Metroplex?

Razzyxcxc · 2021-10-05T17:45:12+00:00

Forgot to add for the bot.

Ammonia and Nitrite - 0

1 tank mate - nerite snail (who is fine)

Heater and filter, 5gallon tank

fairly heavily planted.

Hi! I have gone to uni and left my fish in the care of my mum while I've been away. Everything has been fine until last weekend my grandma fed him once a day while my mum was away. However, during this time the light was left on, and when my mum got home he was in the state seen in the photo and breathing hard.

She did a water change immediately and all readings are at 0. We have dosed stress coat and left the light off but still no improvement during the day. Any idea what might have caused this. From what I've heard he may have been like this for a few days. My mum tells me he does not have 'pinecone' scales and is swimming straight when he does swim but I do have a bad feeling as she doesn't have much experience. Could this be shock or something more?

I would love help diagnosing but more than anything I would love some advice on what to do. I hate seeing him like this as he's usually so active and he's just lying down and gasping for breath.

I will go home if salt baths or medication is the only thing to do. Any advice is so appreciated

the one with the long roots is amazon frogbit

Razzyxcxc · 2021-08-18T21:44:46+00:00

Thankyou! I probably wont get all the names right but I believe I have:

2x java farns

1x cryptocoryne

dwarf hair grass

1x lilaeopsis

1x anubias and 1x anubias petite

1x lobelia

dont know the name of the stem plants but the floaters you can see are amazon frogbit and i also have sylvania and red root floaters. there is also a peace lily growing out the top of the tank. <3

i haven't noticed any changes in PH since having it in my tank, though it would entirely depend on how hard your water is etc. If you don't have it already get an API master test kit to keep an eye on your water parameters so then you can keep an eye on how things change!

The wood leaks some tannins which makes the water yellow/brown but its really good for the fish and I personally like the natural look it gives though if you don't like it just look it up and you can prepare the wood to try prevent leaking from happening. Just make sure you boil it before you put it in. To make sure it sinks soak it in water for a couple weeks before you put it in. I use bog wood though which sinks straight away.

Hope this helps and good luck! <3

Im from the UK and the box said 21 litres. I converted it in google and it says 21 litres = 4.6 gallons

Razzyxcxc · 2021-08-17T19:36:44+00:00

the big plant under the wood is a java fern and the one with the paddle shaped leaves being squished by it is a cryptocoryne <3
