    Velvet or Brook please help

    I just noticed these white spots all over my one clown. How can I tell if it's Velvet or Brooklynella? I attached pictures although it was very hard to capture a clear photo of it. Is there anything I can do to stop it? And do I have to start over after this, like a 100% water change? Thanks!

    Help! My fish has a damaged fin, and she's not eating

    The day before yesterday, Gem got stuck on the heater... Her fins are better now, but when I was feeding them today she couldn't quite swim up to eat the flakes.

    Redfin Fairy Wrasse lying on side

    Is this normal behavior? When I went near him with a net, he started swimming around the tank. I just got this fish delivered today. I put food in the tank and he ate, so I'm hoping he's gonna be okay, but he went back to laying on his side. He's not breathing heavily, breathing normal.
