He's living in a large tank (not sure how many gallons), with 2 other fish. He's had a number of lumps on his body for a while, and we thought they may just disappear. He has a large lump on his eye and he's begun to float to the top of the tank. I've been reading up on it and it sounds like the lumps are external parasites? and the floating could be Swim Bladder Disease?

One of the other fish has also begun to grow these lumps.

Poseidon lives in a 1 gallon fish bowl. He has rocks, a bridge, a suction thermometer and a fake plant. His tank temperature remains relatively constant, 73/74 degrees. I change part of his water (about 1/4) 1-2 times a week and clean his rocks every other week(results in about 1/2 water change). I use Jungle Start Right water conditioner.

I bought a pair to go in my community tank. However, before even four days passed one died and I exchanged it for another. Again about four days later the other one parished, again I exchanged it. Now have found this web site to learn more about them and it seems to be happening again. What is wrong?!!

I have one female betta (she is now in a 2 gallon) and 3 cories (2 died recently)

Should I quarantine my cories in a 2 gallon? (I have a few of them)

Do I need to nuke the tank or something to get rid of the velvet?

Thanks
