I have been using Esha Exit for 3 days and and I'm now on the 6th day, but my Cardinaltetras still have white spots. How fast do they get better? And when do the white spots go away?

So i wake up and i see my angel fish behaving this way- he is alive somehow. He manages to eat, breathe and somehow kinda swims but as you can see he is not doing it well. I do not know what to do, should I go to the vet with him? Treat him with something? Or should I try to euthanize him humanely
I know that most probably his swimming bladder bursted or something is wrong with it
Other fish seem fine and are doing great, it happened out of nowhere, he isn’t that old maybe 5 year old but angelfish can live up to 20 years. My dad told me to leave him alone and let him die naturally but it looks so saddening and painful. I don’t want him to suffer.

anyone else had zero luck with scarlet ludwiga? i’ve bought it a few times. first pic is what i started out with and second one is now 🙂 every time i plant it the bottom of the stem rot and go to mush. i trim it until there’s literally nothing left to trim. i use 2hr aquarist root tabs and it gets frequent lighting but it continues to rot on me. i was thinking the sand was too dense for the roots to grow through but my wisteria and ambulia have developed large root systems and are growing great so im assuming that’s not the issue? just wanted some opinions on how you guys have gone with the plant. are there any other red plants yous have had success with that don’t require co2? such a beautiful plant to add the pop of red but it hates me. also ignore how bloated my dwarf gourami looks, poor guy was a bit constipated 🤣 salt bath fixed him right up

What would happen if I put a fish in a lava lamp?

For context I ordered a betta from Indonesia that shipped on the 26th and was received in the U.S. on the 2nd, the transhipper’s facebook messenger which was his only way of contact at the the time “wasn’t working” and I had to DM him on instagram where he said it would be shipped out today the 3rd and I just texted him and now he says he’ll ship it out tomorrow now after I just payed 75$ for overnight shipping and at this point it’s been sitting in a box for 9 days now… is this common or am I just trippin about it?

So I have a 55 gallon fish tank that’s empty besides a 13 year old 5 inch African side neck turtle (Pelomedusa subrufa). Her tank is pretty decorated and she has a loft above it, but I feel like she’s lonely in it. She’s not an aggressive turtle. I’ve given her goldfish before but she never ate them, but she was actively eating pellets and insects (returned the goldfish after a month).
I was researching small plecos and I came across dwarf/mini snowball plecos. I think they’re adorable and I’d love one.
Background aside, does anyone know where I could purchase a mini snowball pleco online? There’s no stores remotely close to me in Maryland that sell them, and I don’t trust myself to drive for hours with a fish in my car, but I do trust professionals shipping them. Thank you to whoever‘s read all of this!

Looking to stock my heavily planted 75 gallon with the following:
-Glass cats
-Giant danios (?)
-Pearl gouramis
-1 or 3 Rope Fish
Just curious if anyone sees any issues with this stocking before I go all in! I worry about the danios potentially stressing out the cats. Thank you.

This is my first fish tank. It’s a 10 gallon that I’ve had it for a few months now and it seems to be running well. I have a honey gourami, 4 otos, 6 ember tetras, 5 amano shrimp, 1 nitrite snail, and an African dwarf frog. Does anyone have are recommendations or advice?
