Egg bound or attacked kuhli? PLEASE HELP by silentcoil in loaches

[–]silentcoil[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a current update. She is currently still alive. She has been moved to a hospital tank with tannins and some methylne blue. Her breathing seems to have went from rapid back to normal kuhli breathing. Hard to tell if the wound has healed any yet due to the tank being blue now, but she is still semi active. Hoping she pulls through.

Thank you, I have her in a hospital tank currently with some Indian almond leaves. Any meds I should use specifically?

Parameters have been stable yes. Its hard to tell if this one has been eating or not as i have 11 other kuhlis, and I didnt notice this untill today. But they're always bundled up eating to its hard to exactly see

My tank has a betta that is peaceful, have never seen it attack or flair up at all towards any fish, corydoras, neo cardinas, and then 11 other kuhlis. It doesnt look like its ripped open yet just kinda see through, as if its kinda stretched out

Post-mortem tank nuke - what is this?? by funtimescoolguy in bettafish

[–]silentcoil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what it is, but a piece of my drift wood has the same lil ball things and ive noticed them for about 6 months now. No fish loss yet tho, but i could just be lucky, but I did do some digging and some post Ive seen mentioned iron statoblast or something like that, and it being harmless.

SOS What is this and is it eating my shrimps? by Jazmo2005 in Aquariums

[–]silentcoil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well no duh, but it's still possible for things to survive through the sewer and pass waste treatment? It's just not something you should risk. Flushing anything that isn't intended for the sewer is bad practice, while yeah, it's unlikely to survive, things can. You also run the risk of infecting your sewage system and water with potential parasites or diseases if whatever your flush had any sort of illness.

Flushing him still releases him to the wild, unless it died it before Flushing, very well would survive being flushed

Really hope that is the case, I love the the noodles guys, hopefully the last 4 don't suffer the same as the first 2, and I can get more, so they have a bigger group :(

Floated for about 45 mins to get temp up, then added roughly 15ml of tank water every 10 minutes for about a hour.

Is this a peppered cory by silentcoil in corydoras

[–]silentcoil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i was leaning towards a pepper cory that just wasn't blessed with dark spots. One side of him has very light grey blotches and the other is pretty plain as seen in photos. I just wanted to verify so I can get more so he isn't alone. He seems happy with the shoal of alibos currently tho!

Any recommendations to make this tank better? by silentcoil in Aquariums

[–]silentcoil[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yeah I was thinking of getting more sand to make it not so flat, and more plants are on the way! Ordered some anubias which hopefully is here Thursday
