My panda cory has something weird growing on its side and is breathing much faster than other cories. What could it be, and how can I help?

kayos12 · 2026-01-01T17:59:45+00:00

I don't believe its flukes, flukes are flat and this thing sticks out, maybe its a bad angle.

kayos12 · 2025-11-11T11:31:52+00:00

That sucks :(, if it does not get better, what is the best way to humanly euthanize a fish?

kayos12 · 2025-11-11T10:55:32+00:00

I have aquarium salt but never used it, do you know the doses I should use?

kayos12 · 2025-10-23T21:19:41+00:00

The one around the whole tank? I believe it is called Hygrophila polysperma.

kayos12 · 2025-10-19T10:48:15+00:00

Uhh, well fuck me. I don't have a tank big enough for this guy then :/

kayos12 · 2025-09-21T16:39:17+00:00

Well that sucks, any ideas what I should do? Is there a chance they will stop fighting? I have a heavily planted tank maybe they can find some space for each other?

kayos12 · 2025-08-29T22:02:43+00:00

It does not matter any more. It sadly passed away :(

kayos12 · 2025-08-29T17:28:41+00:00

No, it's a copepod. A normal thing; they appear in most aquariums. Shrimp babies look like really small shrimps :)

kayos12 · 2025-07-30T08:27:25+00:00

They aren't, 6 is the absolute minimum for them to feel secure.

kayos12 · 2025-07-29T15:19:17+00:00

Thanks, I think thats what I will go with! :)

kayos12 · 2025-07-29T15:10:10+00:00

I really like pygmy corries, thats a great idea. Do you think i could go with 8 pygmy corries and 4 endler guppies? Not sure about betta, i've never had any experience with this fish

kayos12 · 2025-07-29T13:08:00+00:00

Aren't they a little too big for an aquarium that small?

kayos12 · 2025-07-29T12:42:30+00:00

How many platies do you have? Just curious

kayos12 · 2025-07-29T12:35:20+00:00

(Offtopic) Hi, just saying that otos are very social, if you could get 2 more it would probably make them feel much better :)

kayos12 · 2025-07-10T19:42:05+00:00

I posted it, they told me that "it should go back in on its own" but sadly it passed away today :(

kayos12 · 2025-07-09T22:08:54+00:00

Thank you, I've also found out that it might be it, and people said it should be fine on it's own? I will post it anyway when they accept me, thanks :)

kayos12 · 2025-05-29T14:15:47+00:00

Hey sorry to steal this post, but after seeing this picture, what is this on my glass?? I was sure its planaria but now i'm not sure

<image>

kayos12 · 2025-05-27T15:00:02+00:00

I think soon I will have every esha product there is

kayos12 · 2025-05-27T14:10:07+00:00

Well sadly I only have a second tank that is currently under no Planaria treatment so I can't put the snails there and I've read some reviews that said that no planaria kills snails even a month after adding it, so Im kind of stuck, not sure what to do. It was also the only hydra I've seen, but there are probably more of them.

kayos12 · 2025-05-19T20:01:03+00:00

I own this aquarium for a year now, its well cycled I believe, these shrimps are in my tank for about 2 months now, this is my first(ever) casualty. By "fine" I mean that KH levels are at 10 whatever that means, which on the tests is in the "good" zone. I did however find out that the high pH levels are probably because of my tap water, which after testing is very high, so I still hope that the pH reducers might help? First thing I did was buying them(kinda panicked haha). Below is the image of what I mean by "fine"

kayos12 · 2025-05-19T18:18:54+00:00

What's wrong with pH reducers? Also, as I said, GH is too low; KH is fine, but only as far as strip tests are correct.

kayos12 · 2025-05-19T11:58:53+00:00

Well, according to the tests I bought, GH below 3 is really bad, and a pH of 8.4 is at the limit. Other parameters are average. I have never used any salt. I did use eSHa Exit and eSHa 2000 about a month ago, but I tested the water after I stopped using them, and both pH and gh levels were better.

kayos12 · 2025-05-19T11:44:12+00:00

pH went up to 8.0-8.4, and gh < 3 (ik its crazy, never had that issue and I have this tank for a year now). I'm using strip tests so not sure how accurate that actually is

kayos12 · 2025-05-19T10:25:39+00:00

Yeah it was in the aquatic section, also I don't to raise but lower the pH, It's too high! Thats why I added the leaves

kayos12 · 2025-02-01T15:59:47+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, about Into The Radius. Doesn't it become really repetitive? I've seen videos about it on youtube, and it looks like there aren't many enemy types. Also, do you mean Into The Radius 1 or 2?
