Love your straight get to the point no fluff no bs videos that even I can pay attention to.
Awesome video. I think every aquarist with some time in the driver seat can vouch how important quarantining is! I just wanted to add a couple things from my experience - if you have a tank with inverts or other sensitive fauna you can steadily raise the temp of the tank into the 90s, I did this and successfully rid my tank of Ich in about a week / week and a half with no Ich cure medication with no losses. Unfortunately rarely there are temp resistant strains of ich and in that case you have to use meds. Other thing, for dropsy you can add Epsom salt to your med tank and it will help reducing bloating/ inflammation along with meds, but make sure to use Epsom not aquarium salt. Also, never rule out columnaris which is getting way more prevalent and can pose as a fungal infection if you have a sudden high mortality rate. Its very hard to distinguish columnaris sometimes but it requires a whole new level or treatment and maybe even a tank restart ( i learned the hardway). Peace out thanks again for the video :))))
For writing this much I think u deserve a like
Great video mate, keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Excellent Video and tips - thank you!
Nice video. Thank you. Provided a lot of reassurance.
Thanks for the tips I found it really helpful 😊
Thanks for the great points on how to prevent disease. I appreciate it very much. One suggestion that I have is to use less hours on the lighting. Live plants could do well with less light and yet, the fish are content with say 6 hours of bright light and the rest ambient light. This might help most people with an algae problem. I know this, that if I put my tanks on a 10 hour lighting scheme, the algae will grow profusely. Ambient light works well for the fish as well. #< Fishez
Thank you for the info, concerning my platy fish. I have been leaving the light on to long. As soon as I turned it off, he did much better.
very informative thank you
thanks for the help it realy helped me out
Nice Video!
Nick, i'd love if you could advise on some examples of both a 'MultiCure' & 'Antibiotic' used for Quarantine?
There are so many levels of medicine.. I have seen youtubers recommend brands in america, (like Fritz) but they arent available in Australia.
Yeah I’ve been wondering what’s going on with one of my platys the past two days 😕 I think it’s gill flukes now that you mention it.... I’ve been doing salt, higher temps, and other natural antibacterial things but it’s probably time to break out the big guns. Hopefully it’s a medication I already have in my large collection lol
Same it killed my 20 guppies in just 3 days 😭
I'm not giving them proper attention
Thank you!!
Can you make a video on the lights you use in your tanks?
Great video mate, touch wood in my large community tank hasn't had anything wrong with it, new subscriber here from the UK
thanks for the help :D
So first thank you for this video. Second I think i caught everything but the one for roundworm. What is supposed to be used on roundworm?
Hi can i use blue planet multi cure in the main aquarium with live plants in it.? Please help..
My new endlers had colluminaris but there doing alright with the triple sulfa
Wow, who would’ve thought?
Hello! I need some help, I have a 50gallon community tank and a 2 weeks ago I started noticing some white spots on my silver dollar,I dint think much of it so I just left alone. A week later I noticed all my fish had ich, and my silver dollar was full of them so I immediately got ich- X and at first like the first 3 days It got better, but then 5 days in my silver dollar was the only one that had some small white ich but 2 days later one it appeared a white spot on one of mollies fin and my silver dollar still has some. So I don’t know what else to do. Please help
I know i late but rise temperature to 80 and do alot of water change
I have fish with both fin rot and ich. Some fish have ich, some fish have fin rot. I have Melafix for the fin rot and Super Ich Cure for the ich. They're both by the brand API. I'm wondering if i could use them together to treat both symptoms.. please get back to me, thanks
So my fishes gills seem irritated and also underneath the mouth area near the gills what could it be ?
Hi my name is Andrew I am just starting off a new aquarium or be and watching about all the diseases that humans and fish can get I am really worried shall I carry on doing it thank you
I had a glow shark that has been perfectly fine for months but recently I had noticed it started to loose color and was less active, then it’s spine began to curve and I found it this morning dead. I’m not sure at all what happened. The best physical features I noticed was like I said the now curved spine and then it appear to have dark long lines on its lower side almost looking like it swallowed an entire stick or something but I do not have any live plants. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
I need help, one on my son's new mollies has a white lump/ulcer with a pick center on her side, she is staying at the top of the tank a lot. What could it be and what treatment should I use?
How long does it take for conditioner to make tap water safe?
4:41 I just use prime right away after adding tap directly into tank.
When you do a water change do you take out all of the fish???
Do you know what I can do I have 2 otocinclus 5 tetras and 4 danios it started on the oto fish and now its on the danios. What should I do
I had one guppy with fin rot and swollen gills but it cured naturally when I put him in a seperate tank. The guppies in the tank are floating on top of the tank, in the corners and not moving. What should I do?
If i see some of fishies in my tank got cotton do i have to add chemical liquid to my tank or i have to put seperate tank that fishies?
i got a 36G aquarium...
i did some maths and im going to get 17 fish and all those fish equal 32 gallons.
is 4 gallons understock good?
Since you have bigger facilities, are you planning on breeding monster fish?
7:20 STDs???!! Can fish really get those? LMFAO!
Where can you buy dimilin ?
What you use for ick
Does aquarium salt help with any of these
You say don't buy them unless they've been there for a week? I say they literally sell out every week. Get em while you can and quarantine them at home. Most fish stores worth a hoot have at least a one week warranty against dead fish as long as your water isn't like a sewer. If they kick it, take the dead fish and some of your tank water back to the store and talk to them about it.
My Betta died from columnaris about a month ago. His tank has been sitting empty ever since and still cycling. I’ve turned the temperature way down while it doesn’t have fish in it. Can you tell me what do I need to do to this tank to make it safe to put a new fish in it? I can’t seem to get a straight answer anywhere. People are suggesting I throw all the plants, substrate, driftwood and everything away, empty the tank and bleach it? That seems extreme to me especially considering I know that the bacteria is always in water to begin with ? Like I said it’s been sitting here without Fish in it for over a month. Should I just keep cycling at for a while and do water changes? Would that work so that I can add a new fish to it soon? I appreciate any help you can give me!
👋 Can I add two different types of medication at once ,for example General cure and Ich X
Yes
Usage amount of Potassium Parmanganet in water for treatment/disinfect fish. ??
Where do I buy a multi cure
today and im new to the hobby,he was acting a bit strange by staying at the bottom of the aquarium and had like a gray section where the tail and body connect . Can yall please help me figure out what was wrong with him so i prevent this from happening again.
Hi i need your help i have gupies and always die because of fin rot can you learn me how to treat them
What multicure do you hse
I need help, my Oscar is swimming upside down and in circles and is really weak, i dont know what to do. I know it’s not the filter or anything, i did a water change this week and the filter is clean but i made sure to keep an amount of the beneficial bacteria. My other fish is fine though, he’s healthy and everything but he might be bullying my oscar. Is he stressed or does he have swim bladder issues im scarred.
My glo tetra is swimming very erratic I believe he has swim bladder. He is not thriving very thin. He can’t swim properly. He swims straight up but struggles then he just gives up and falls to the bottom of the tank. He looks exhausted just lays on the bottom. Then after some time he starts all over again. This all started after I fed them live black worms. I’ve treated with kanaplex kinda helped at first but not for long. I did move him to a spare tank. None of the other fish are displaying anything abnormal.
I’m afraid he is suffering and I don’t know what to do 😢 I don’t want him to suffer. Please help us🙏
So you recommend water changes while the tank is cycling? This is a fish in cycle.
I have actual warms swimming and and I think they do look bloated but I’m not sure I need help
I have internal filter
Is it a problem?
Oof- didn't know i had got a sickly fish from my LPS. It died, in the quarantine tank. So they replaced it for me.... again, died. So I haven't gone back to them. It's sad but a lesson learned.
Been doing everything right but somehow we got parasites somehow and because my angelfish somehow paired up and had babies now it’s stressing the others out and causing so much problems... I thought I had gotten male angelfish but clearly I didn’t by accident
Pls Tell me What the black spot on a gold fish means I hope it's not a parasite flicking on my goldfish is skin :C
What multicure do you use?
I need to know!!!! Lmao
Hi I need a amideant reply todAy or.my fish will die he’s not moving much and all his fins are down pls help
I have glowlight tetras and they are sick. They have white indents in their head or small bumps growing under there skin. They have curved gills and white stuff peeking out but not moving and not fuzzy. They only look hurt on their head, the rest of their bodies are fine. A few stopped eating for a while and the smallest one went to the top of the tank for the night and died the next day, all of them before they died went to the top of the tank or hid and looked pale. My water conditions are good, my friend filtration is good everything in my tank is good. None of my other fish are showing symptoms. I would really really appreciate some help, this has been happening over a period of months. I have no idea what is is or what to do. I've tried treating with an all-in-one treatment but it hasn't worked. Please could you give me some help?
Did you ever find out what was wrong with the fish?
@@aarondaniels9750 they had gill flukes
Multi cure medication, where I found it
Bro, I need help, I'm so worried about my Angel Fish. I noticed a few weeks ago my fish is floating and not eating and I thought it's dying. Then today I found out my fish's belly is so big or bloated but still alive.
Is she yet alive
First dicots fish with GENTIAN VIOLET and then use some AMOXIL CAP powder. I will make in glass with water but one time one medicine.
My mom has like old food from my other fish that I had a long time ago and I don’t know if it’s like the the food fish is good or just bad
Bad,get fresh
my fish is sitting on the bottom of the tank and doing nothing... not even swimming what to do?
I wonder who made this
Mmmmm
Man you have a lot of hobbies!
Hi, how i treat guppy internal parassite in home aquarium
@@KeepingFishSimple Use General Aid for Aquarium see how it goes.
Thanks you've made me realise my fish was misdiagnosed at the weekend they suspected fungle due to white looking fin rot? Can fungus rot fins also? I'm now suspecting bacteria as its fin rot but the fins are white you see, just turned less transparent due to bacteria?
Can someone please help me understand this: My 2 ancistruses, 6 Danios and cory catfish have all died, but my neon tetras and angelfish are perfectly fine?
R they possibly fish that like different Temps?
Filter where is like yours? It’s not working won’t turn on.
I have a one year old 5 gallon tank with hang on the back and the water is also year old, crystal clear only gravel and only 20 ppm nitrate 0 nitrites zero ammonia … I love my small tanks … my two 20 gallon hate me … and killed 35 fish one week
Too many fish!!!
i caught my fish having ich and i got medicine immediately but i think it was too late because he wasn’t eating and he died the same day
I'm gonna sound really dumb here but why do some of the tanks have blue water?
Medication.
@@EternalFrost thanks
Not dumb at all! Quarantining some new arrivals atm so that’s why
My fish is literally dying as I talk it’s floating around it’s dead but alive
Also pregnant guppies make it confusing … bloating looks like babies, I lost my mama shortly after birth. She had a huge blood poop and was dead 48 hours later… she was sick most of her pregnancy and I was just learning about pregnant so I’ve ended up loosing two mamas
My temperature in the tank is 80 f.
My 3fish died of it
I had 2 male guppies and 6 females. I put the males in breeder box and got real dirty. Not sure witch female gave fry but some tured black and died both males 2 females and a ghost shrimp all died in 2 days
Hi idk what to do because I bought a new fish and now all my fish are dying
Put the new fish is quarantine, and make sure to monitor it. If you see anything new on the fish make sure to google it or ask.
My goldfish died 😔I didnt know what to do cause i was stressed 😥 RIP alexa 😔💔
Iam also an aquarium expert ...iam going to start my own channel also...if you have any doughts about fish ...then WhatsApp your questions...8639519526
@@sriramaquaguide3067 my fish swim very past and never stop.. then suddenly died
@@edbautista1932 chlorine in the water, or some contaminant,, dashing around the tank and gills pumping furiously . In the wild a fish can swim as fast as it can to try to swim away. It may escape to water that has less deadly contaminants. It’s a survival behavior.
My fish has fin rot.. his Fin is turning black😭
Why does my rainbow shark just lay at the bottom at the end of the day
Also how do you cure pox in a koi fish
Weird question one of my goldfish has fungus it’s like white and fluffy is it possible to pick it off
Probably not
Let it recover on its own
@@vanillaicecreamgoodnessl3051 So you’d rather let the fish die? There are treatments for fungus.
You are so handsome 😍 that's why i subscribed 😍😘
Man mentions dieseas
Evryone wathing:*sweating nervous
I think you mean ATDs
Fish are so weird. A human gets sick, take some Advil. A fish gets sick, and you dump salt into the tank. What
Keep it simple !!!don’t wast money on chemicals ….Water 84 and salt 1 tbl/10 gal !!!!!!!! Keeps it all away .. safe for Cory’s and most plant!!
Do you keep it at that salinity or is it just for the hospital tank? It's harder than you think to find answers on the internet
@@stripermad1 after treatment i change out 1/4 at that/this point pretty safe for everything. but after another week or so you can change another 1/4 . i like replacing water at this amount with most water types its not going to be a shock for them even if water is really chlorinated i have another rule i follow. i never clean the filter and gravel at the same time you always want some beneficial bacteria to be in there.
@@kurtauerbach5883 thank you so much!! That really helps
Fish tank herpes aka duckweed
My fishes died because of a Parasite
Water stds😂
Never mind he’s ded 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
You talk too much not able to get real content
Speak a bit slower please.
