Default Getting help with fish diseases

To help us help you....

Before you post, please look through some of these sites to see if you can identify the disease you have. The first two links here are great places to start.

If you can't work out what your fish have, please post:
Tank size
Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH readings from your tank
How long your tank has been running
The other fish in the tank, and numbers of them
A full description of the symptoms
If there are any spots or lumps, please describe color, texture, size, where they're located on the fish, whether they're growing in size or in number, and which fish are affected.

Here's a quick guide on some disease diagnosis and treatment sites:

Pictoral guide to diagnosing common diseases, with suggested treatments:
http://www.fishpalace.org/Disease.html

Guide to diseases by symptoms, along with treatment recommendations:
Fish Disease, Diseases of Fish, Medications & Fish Health Treatments

Cichlid-Forum's Ich article: one of the best and most comprehensive:

Other info on ich/ick:

Flexibacter article:

Koi/Goldfish disease site (with excellent diagnosis help):

If it's too late, here's an article on humanely euthanizing your fish:

The fishpalace (first) link is broken. Thanks for the links, looks like there is some sort of bacterial infection going on in my tank.
