i bought some fish two weeks ago off the internet!
ive had my tank set up for 5weeks.
my fish have ick/ich.
i know for a fact it isnt because of poor water conditions!!!
they were most likely sent to me with ick/ich.
my water is crystal clean, and ive done regular water changes!!!
anyway, ive been treating them for ick/ich with some treatment i bought. i didnt really notice a change, untill today! ive treated them 3times now as the intructions state i should do it every other day! my mollies and platys were acting strange and had the white spots over them, but today there acting normal and dont seem to have as many white spots on them, my 2 clown loaches had it the worst, they were covered in it, one of them also had a moss type fungus on him but he died yday. i cant find him tho! but my other clown loach still seems to have the same amount of white spots on him, do you think this treatment im useing will cure him? or is he on hes way out?

Queen loach are a little more delicate than others in the same family but once settled they make a great addition to any large community aquarium and as a bonus they will eat snails.

I have a 10 gallon aquarium that has been set up for over 6 months. It has a black moore, a chinese algae, and a weather loach. All my fish have been healthy. Today I came home and my black moore was dying. All his scales were gone and a few of his fins looked ragged. What would have caused this? Do you think he got in a fight?

my sucking loach (scooter) jumped out of his tank some time when i was out of the house…which was for 5 or six hours….i then came home to seeing scooter on the floor five feet away from my 15 gallon tank. His gills were moving so i put him in the tank and moved him back and forth for a bit and he started pulsing and swiming around a bit….i then put him on the bottom of the tank with his gills still moving…first question- is it possible for him to survive? second question- is there anything else i can do to treat him and nurse him back to life?

If I buy 2 or 3 cool water fish (Chinese Hillstream Loach). How long can I keep them in the bag that the shop will give me? It’s probably going to be about 4 hours, if I get them.
I don’t believe most of the answers provided here, merited all the thumbs down. It’s not one of those sorts of questions, surely.
