Thank you, I will see if I can find Levamisole, and try that, the fish is still swimming around as normal, apparently not suffering much (yet).

The LFS sold me some API general cure, because it was the only thing they had that had Praziquantel in it, and the other ones didn't sound familiar to them. I dosed the aquarium (and other tanks in the house) as on the package and it is 48 hours later, so I'm planning to do the 75% water change...

Thank you, I have one with a short hose so I'll get one with a long one, and thanks for the tip about kinking the hose a bit!

Colin: Thank you so much! One question, I have sand substrate, no gravel, for the corydoras habrosus. Do I stir it up with my hand and then take out the water right above it when it's settled or will that still leave worms and eggs in the sand?

Hi, thanks for the tips Colin. I think this picture is better. The black spots are inside the body, there are no wounds and it seems the skin over the black spots is as normal, it's in the body.She's still swimming around as normal.

Thank you, I will do that!

I have what I think is a female ember tetra with some strange black spots in her body. Tank size: 10 G pH: 6.11 (pH meter) ammonia: 0 ppm nitrite: 0 ppm nitrate: 10 ppm kH: 2 gH: 3 tank temp: 78.9 Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): female...

I found a second fry in the tank and moved it to the fry tank, so now I have two! There is a bit of size difference but not too bad.

The mini water lettuce stays on the surface but it does have pretty long roots up to about 2 or 3 inches. but I can keep it under control more easily. It It grows by sending trailers out over the surface on which new clusters of mini water lettuce grow.

Retired Viking: I read that ember tetra sometimes will eat their fry so I didn't want to take the chance. Having an area where they can hide might make their survival rate much better though. I don't have experience with that.

I couldn't catch him with the net but I used my gravel cleaning hose, took the strainer head off and vacuumed him up along with the tank water that I wanted to put in the fry tank anyways. That worked perfectly and I'm quite sure the net would have had much more chance of hurting him. I will put...

Tried to catch him to put him in the fry tank, so I could feed him microworms more easily. But he's wayyyy too fast for me. So he might have to stay in the 10G anyways, unless I manage tomorrow.

Hi, I've been experimenting with live foods in my ember tetra tank because I wanted to try my hand at trying to hatch eggs from Aphyosemion australe (Lyretail killifish) at some point in the future and they need live foods. Now I'm seeing one ember tetra fry swimming near the bottom, the adults...
