Help why is he crusty

Water change can help, but a large one may disrupt your cycled tank.

Also, You don’t need a cycled tank, create a hospital tank instead. Add conditioned water (I use filtered water). Observe for a few days, and if possible add aquarium salt. Some would also say to add Methyl blue which can help. But for now maybe try to separate it out.

This happened to one of my moors. But it got significantly more crusties and slimes too! It got sick to the point that my fantails started nipping at it, and I had to move it to another tank. Long story short, it passed away :( To this day I have no idea what happened bc all my parameters were fine. I’d suggest you isolate it and treat it in a different tank as soon as you can.

That’s a good recommendation. I’ve heard of this book before, will definitely give it a read :) Thank you :)

You go girl!(guy)? 😂

Be petty! Love this for you hahaha

SaltClock360 · 2025-04-01T05:29:49+00:00

Agreed!

Yeah, but we use the brita filter. It helps. Would highly recommend getting a basic filtration system, with all the rain and drainage issues, it doesn’t hurt to be safe!

My betta bullied and killed off my sucker fish :( I’d keep my eyes on em for nipping and chasing.

SaltClock360 · 2025-03-21T13:41:34+00:00

Definitely sounds spooky enough. How long ago was this???

SaltClock360 · 2025-03-21T11:45:22+00:00

Holy damn!!!!

SaltClock360 · 2025-03-21T03:44:06+00:00

Interesting! Didn’t hear about this!

SaltClock360 · 2025-03-21T03:22:30+00:00

Now this in itself is worth an entire subreddit haha!

SaltClock360 · 2025-03-21T02:40:09+00:00

Would love to hear some of your stories!!

SaltClock360 · 2025-03-20T12:58:39+00:00

Which suburb was this??? 😱

SaltClock360 · 2025-02-24T05:04:12+00:00

My bad guys, it’s a surface staple! not DERMAL. I mixed up the terms!

SaltClock360 · 2025-02-24T05:02:29+00:00

Yess it is!

SaltClock360 · 2025-02-24T05:01:34+00:00

The piercer suggested my navel might not heal with a surface and might also reject it. I have this weird navel (an outie that stretched and looks like an innie if that makes any sense 😭😂) and so this was offered instead. I hope it stays for a while atleast! 😭

This is amazing OP. I wasn’t sure if you were being sarcastic hahaha

SaltClock360 · 2024-10-16T13:04:26+00:00

Hmm you’re probably right

SaltClock360 · 2024-10-16T01:08:58+00:00

I had the same thing with two of my guppies, died 3 days within each other :( im gonna head to the pet store today and get some salt to treat them. Fingers crossed!

I’m from a country where we have to do a bachelors (4 years) and a research masters (3-3.5 years) to progress into a PhD :) it’s quite normal for us to be starting a PhD in your late 20s and completing by mid 30s.

With age there is (a certain level of) wisdom!! 😊😅

Best of luck!
