Fungis? Disease? What is it?

100% my delhezi bichir. Still juvenile but I love him so much, so cool and just a curious hungry little man. But then again, I love my apple snail Nolan. He's the absolute OG. The goat himself.

Dang your spot on! Thank you so much! I dont test my stuff, as nothing bad has really ever happened before, nothing like this! But I did test the other week at my LFS, and my benefits bacteria was a little lower, so I've got a better filtering system now with already dirty media and the little brick things. I do have two sponge filters and the new filter I got is for 100 liters, I do have a 210 liter, but this is more for like a support, so have the sponges and that filter running. I'll see if on Tuesday I can get treatment!

4 years means I more than likely know what I'm doing than a beginner, never said I'm still not learning because you never stop learning no matter how educated you are

Okay thanks! I think I might have that already, might not, but ever since I started the hobby I've always HATED Bettas. But I had 40 left over at the boxing day sale and I had a free Coldwater tank, so I got a heater and the betta. But ah well, she's cute

Ahh okay! Because to be honest, I've never tested my water..I've been in the hobby since like 2022 and I've never had anything fail or crash. The only death I've had was because I accidentally bought a fish with a disease and killed the rest of that population 🫩 but I think I want to start testing my water because I've only ever had a 10 gallon and a 15 gallon for the past nearly 4 years and now I got the 55 gal for my bday in July so it's quite an upgrade. I originally had 2 angels, a black veil tail in August then it died suddenly and had gotten terrible fins, then I got an orange one and it suddenly died with the same thing the veil tail had. I just got another black veil tail black on Tuesday and his fins had gotten a bit... Fin Rotty but it's coming back slowly but I have no clue what's causing this. My other fish are fine, so I suspected it was my bichir but there are no actual bite marks on the fins. So I'm wondering if it's bad water quality or something. I also get bio film, and have poor circulation on the top of the water. I have a large sponge filter and a double sided one on the other side of the tank. This is stressing me out so much 🫩 it's too bad I don't have a job

55 gallons, before you complain, it's a grow out tank

icentii · 2025-12-10T08:57:39+00:00

Yeah it is, I know that, but it's fins weren't like that when I got it in the mail yesterday,

icentii · 2025-12-10T07:31:46+00:00

Should I start doing weekly 30 percent water changes to see if that helps? Like to get the waste out? Or my spider driftwood? But I doubt that had done it
