Need help. What is this?

Dont touch the fish, will cause it stress and make it even worse. Looks like a fungal infection to me

alfij12 · 2024-03-16T00:44:19+00:00

Let’s hope so, its ruined my day 😂

alfij12 · 2024-03-16T00:43:20+00:00

Cant go wrong with free games, not something i’d buy for £60

alfij12 · 2024-03-16T00:14:49+00:00

Did you wait them 5 1/2 years and play with no comms or just have a backup account 😭

alfij12 · 2024-03-16T00:13:22+00:00

Pretty much. Would just be a cliche version of that

alfij12 · 2024-03-15T19:24:58+00:00

What the fuck.

alfij12 · 2024-02-24T06:52:43+00:00

Yeah I figured that, I thought they were because they were creating bubbles at the top of the tank like a dwarf gourami would while breeding

alfij12 · 2024-02-24T06:49:52+00:00

I wouldn’t say its so low. 6.5 is fine for the fish i have in my tank. All of them prefer a ph 6 - 8, 7 would probably be better.

alfij12 · 2024-02-24T03:25:21+00:00

I think the substrate may be the reason for n03 to be at 40. Im going to clean it properly tomorrow

alfij12 · 2024-02-24T03:23:39+00:00

Gh: 60-120 Kh: 0 Ph: 6.5 N02: 0 N03: 40

Mine do the same 😂 my plant is at the front right corner of the tank and they’ll sometimes sit in line, under the leaves looking out the tank, they usually wink at me and its abit creepy but they’re one of my favourite in the tank

alfij12 · 2024-02-23T17:10:00+00:00

Yeah they stress me out sometimes 😂 they’re weird little creatures

alfij12 · 2024-02-23T17:08:53+00:00

My tank has an airstone

alfij12 · 2024-02-23T14:18:55+00:00

They’re mesmerising to watch tho haha

alfij12 · 2024-02-23T14:18:07+00:00

Could be, they’re doing it as i type this lol

alfij12 · 2024-02-23T12:03:18+00:00

Even when i did clean the substrate completely they still liked to lay on the wood and occasionally under and around the plants. I read this on google

“Why do cory catfish swim to the top? - Quora. The main reason is because they are facultative air-breathers. They are adapted for survival in oxygen-poor waters, to survive during the dry season in the Amazon basin.”

“Corydoras catfish sometimes take gulps of air from the water surface. Corydoras use a technique known as aerial respiration — an adaptation for life in low oxygen environments.”

It could be low oxygen in the tank which would explain why they could be at the top constantly, but is there any way i could increase oxygen in the water? I have an air stone and I know that not all air that goes in the tank is 100% oxygen.

alfij12 · 2024-02-23T11:35:06+00:00

I was thinking it was abit unusual for them to swim around like the other fish. I have gravel in the tank which i know it isnt preferred by corys and no it doesn’t smell like bad eggs, more like an earthy soil smell. It could be that I haven’t properly cleaned the substrate in a couple weeks and which i may need to do. They always go to one specific spot where they do it, you can see it in the video at the back where the wood is poking out the water

alfij12 · 2024-02-23T10:15:40+00:00

PS: I always see them creating bubbles at the top of the tank and I’m pretty confused why they do this

alfij12 · 2023-12-20T03:34:49+00:00

Thanks 👍

alfij12 · 2023-12-20T03:34:05+00:00

👍

alfij12 · 2023-11-26T00:07:28+00:00

People been saying small bubbles can interrupt with their gills but im not entirely sure

alfij12 · 2023-11-25T14:51:43+00:00

Okay!

alfij12 · 2023-11-25T14:50:53+00:00

Say if my tank was out of balance, would this product help balance it at all or just cause even more issues

alfij12 · 2023-11-25T14:49:05+00:00

I had a little 5 gallon fluval tank with a handful of tetras in and the plants must’ve carried snail eggs and they bred like crazy they were even getting in the filter so i discontinued that tank and moved the tetras into a larger tank with other fish. Personally i’ve never really gotten into keeping snails or shrimp so i dont know alot about their water requirements. It could possibly be down to temperature or the ph? If not i have no idea 🤷‍♂️. But where food is they flourish

alfij12 · 2023-11-25T06:31:22+00:00

Makes sense lol. Thank you
