(sorry for my english)

i found a couple of day before a kind of little worm in my glass of the aquarium. My molly balloon is losing part of his lateral fin. He has some litlle white spot. My clown pleco is also have little white spot !!!

I dont know what to do, i put medication and a flukes and fish lice remover

Is it real that we have to remove the coal filter ???

[K_S_W_I_S_S]

if it says to remove the carbon/coal filter, i think it would be a good idea to remove it (it can take the chemicals out of the fish tank).... am i right?

Don't worry. If it's crawling on the glass, it's probably just a flatworm, eating algae and detritus.

This is fin rot. It's probably a secondary infection, either bacterial or fungal. The primary problem may be ectoparasites.

This is Ichthyophthirius. Medicate with formalin/malachite green. This will eliminate the ectoparasites too.
