Happy boxing day Colin_T. Thanks for your response. Your post was really informative. I use the battery powered vac in addition to the normal gravel vac(I even have 2 so I dont cross contaminate with my community tank). I found that I would have to remove too much water with the normal vac...

Hi After losing my goldfish to an unknown problem, I want to decontaminate my tank to make sure that any new fish I put in there dont get sick. My sick goldfish post: http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=263423 My second goldfish died with the same symptoms. I went through this list...

went to LFS - both our tests say the same thing. he thinks it is a bacterial infection but didntrecommend anything.

I followed the instructions on the bottle. Poo looked OK previously but I havent seen him poo for about 3 days. He isnt freakishly skinny, but he lost his little fantail pudge that he has always had.

Gasping at the surface, weightloss, not being enthusiastic about food, but sstill eating abit. test kits are Aquasonic dropper liquid, which are australian made. I know it doesnt look good for frankenstein, but I am also trying to make sure Wolfgang will be ok. If it is a bacterial infection...

I am sure my water stats are correct. My filter is a 1200L/hr canister filter. I think that my filter output creates adequate surface movement (as I said in a previous post). my LFS demonstrated to me how much surface movement was good. Frankenstein doesnt have excess slime or sores and his...

it was about 2 months ago. I have been trying to think of anythign that has chnaged, but there isnt anything.

Thanks for your reply. It has a canister filter. Cleaned every 2 months. and the filter output makes a fair bit of surface movement.

I have one of those Nutrafin CO2 thingys with the ladder diffuser. My 2 goldfish wait in front of it until the bubble builds up and then go and poke it so it comes out, and then swim away as proud as ever. They are often both there trying to be first to poke the bubble. My Black khuli loaches...

Thanks waterdrop. That describes what I wanted to know. When I bought the filter the media was already packed into the trays, I just removed plastic bags and put them back the way they were, assuming that was right. It is a AquaOne Aquis 500. Im not sure what direction the water flows. I was...

Hi About a month ago, I replaced an internal power filter with a canister filter on my community tank. The results are fantastic. I dont think I will ever use another type of filter. I am going to buy another one for my goldfish tank(which currently has a HOB). Anyway, I was reading a few...

I feed all my excess snails to my paradise fish, Jekyll. (I wouldnt recommend a paradise fish as a community fish, he bites my arm as I try to clean his tank and my fingers when i feed him. ) He knocks the snails off the glass and grabs their soft bit and shakes them around until they come out...
