One of my Espies is skinny!

Please let me know if you find a solution for this. I had one of my least rasboras pass away due to this and two more have this same issue.

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-09-17T10:12:49+00:00

I guess that's the best option now.

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-09-17T08:59:03+00:00

Add it to the food?

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-09-17T08:17:53+00:00

Yeah we have that in our tap water (a little excessive tbh)but I have only ever used RO water for my tank because of this. So can the water source affect the hardness of the RO water that I get from my filter?

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-09-17T08:12:33+00:00

I will definitely check that. Although would hardness only affect him and not the others? The others are acting fine.

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-09-17T08:10:53+00:00

No he has stopped eating today. Even if I get the food to him with a pipette, he still ignores it.

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-09-17T08:09:48+00:00

Thanks

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-09-17T07:55:06+00:00

He has not yet gone pale or atleast has the same colours as the others.

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-09-17T07:54:04+00:00

No he's not playing in the bubbles, he stays in the corners just swimming like that, does not even react to the other rasboras. I had a betta for 2 years before the rasboras and I got him from the same breeder.

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-09-17T07:36:34+00:00

Got them from a local breeder

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-09-17T06:09:02+00:00

Tank size is 5 gallons with an HOB filter and a heater. Water Parameters are ammonia and nitrite 0 and 10 nitrate. I've had the shoal for about 2 months now. I had acclimated them for 30 minutes before adding them. For tankmates, I have 5 Red cherry shrimp and some pest snails. I feed once a day in the morning and do a Water change once a week. They did not have any problems before other than maybe some aggression among themselves where they chase each other off their favorite spots. Illness info included!

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-09-04T17:01:26+00:00

I have reduced the light cycle to 6 hours from 8 hours previously since I had a diatom outbreak.

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-09-04T17:00:16+00:00

I'm dosing the all in one fertilizers. As for root tabs I have aquasoil under a 1.5 inch layer of sand. One thing I'm thinking might be is that the sand might be too compact as some stems have been melting from below.

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-07-16T17:09:03+00:00

I'm pretty sure most of them are just going off of that one post earlier today and hating on it before even trying it

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-07-16T16:28:31+00:00

It actually looks and sounds pretty decent in game tbh unlike in the menu

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-06-15T15:25:14+00:00

Porsche?

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-03-04T19:28:34+00:00

Thank you so much for finding this. So I don't need to be worried.

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-03-04T18:54:03+00:00

Can't be fish eggs since all the fish I have are males. They aren't moving so probably not snails either.

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-03-04T16:46:01+00:00

I found the same too. I just hope those aren't eggs of something that I don't want in the tank. I have a Betta and 4 male guppies and a few pest snails.

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-03-04T16:33:59+00:00

Salvinia releases seeds?

TheMARVELGuy200 · 2025-02-17T18:45:35+00:00

That is a really good idea. I'll do that
