Fish Thread

I don't know what that is. I do know fish start to decompose pretty quickly after death.

Yeah that could be it I guess. Idk when he died. He looked okay last night. But must have been pretty advanced stage.

Sorry for all the pictures but does anybody know why there would be what appears to be like dust or something in my tank!? it’s so ugly. There’s a tiny bit in the other tank but nothing like this one!!! Do you think it’s what killed Draco!? putting them in spoiler cause there’s so many

I have fish! Just found this thread.
I have:
1 female guppy
1 GloTetra
1 cardinal tetra
2 kuhli loaches
All of my fish are “rescues”. At my local fish store (not pet, fish.) they have a “good used fish tank.” All those fish have been returned by people. When I went there to check the fish out, there were only three in the tank. A female guppy with a twisted spine, a peach-colored GloTetra, and a one eyed, arch-backed cardinal tetra. They were swimming as dejectedly as fish can around the mostly empty tank. I took the three of them on the spot. The employees were thankful. They said that no one had even looked at that tank in the past two weeks, and they felt bad for the poor fish. Now they have been living happily in my 13-gallon tank for a year and a half.

Five months after I got these guys, I got a call from a friend, asking me to take her two Kuhli loaches. She had a tank of fish, and then had decided to move. She couldn’t take her fish with her, so she had a family who wanted fish come and take them. When they were there to take the fish, the little girl said she didn’t want the the two fish that looked like worms. So I took in the two loaches. Can’t get pics right now because they always hide.
So there’s my story!

Algae of some sort? Maybe a deep clean of the tank would help.

My guppy's spine is super weird. It hunches and twists, yet she never seems bothered by it.

This is what a normal guppy’s spine should look like:
