A Bristlenose Pleco Catfish expanding his territory under a large section of bogwood.

i have two cory catfish in my 29 gallon aquarium. I have noticed eveeryday there fins are getting shorter and shorter. they look so tore up. Today one of them who is the most beat up has what looks like slices on him like if he were cut with a razor shaving. I have three ideas of who it would be 1 my two small ghost shrimp maybe they eat them when the lights go out.2 could be my angels i have two of them. I doubt it since i dont see them do it in the day and they probly sleep at night 3 my two albino bristle nose catfish or bush nose catfish what ever you want to call them. Maybe they do it at night but i dont think so ive read plecos suck at least some times on flat bodied fish. So i dont think so i am leaning towards the ghost shrimp. There could be one more but the snails i have i seriously doubt they would. Also i bet its not fin rot no white fuzzy fungus on the fins or anything and i have good clean water. Any ideas would help if its the ghost shrimp consider them gone. thanks
i also have 2 kuhli loaches but i didnt include them since i barley got them like a two weeks ago and it seemed like this has been going on for a month or so

Betta, Pictus Catfish, Swordtail, Yoyo Loach or Serpae Tetra…?

I have a 10 gallon tank and I have one betta fish in it. I plan on putting some of the following: cory catfish, tetras, guppies, algae eaters, golden apple snail, african dwarf frog, and nerite snail. I’m not going to put all of these animals in there, just some. I want to know what kind of sand or rocks could fit my tank and these animals. Specific names and details would be most appreciated.

My pictus catfish has white popping up dots and I have no idea if it’s ich or it’s just the way it looks because it’s on its skin and fins and tail. I have other fish in the aquarium, a black kuhli loach and a dwarf gourami male. Does it matter if I put some aquarium salt in? Do I just poor in a litlle and let it sit on the bottom or how do I mix it in???
