So sorry to hear that your having problems too. i just wanted to give my 2cents. This my 3rd day of treating ICK with Aquarisol. i got it at Walmart. I just looked in my tank and i only have 2 fish out of 12 that still have spots and even they are almost gone. I had a silver dollar not doing...

Ok this is my 3rd day of treating my 55 gallon tank for ick. I have one fish not doing well and gasping, but the rest of my fish are doing better it seems. My question is, do i need to do a water change at anytime during the treatment? it doesn't say on the medicine bottle(Aquari-sol) but have...

My clown knife is still hanging in there, but still isn't acting well. If its ick, will that kill him, or could it be something more serious? He hangs out at ther top of the tank now instead of at the bottom like he has for over a year. I upped the temp to 84-85 degrees, and added the aquarisol...

I'm beginning to wonder if its something else, like velvet. or maybe both! I was just looking at my silver dollar and he has white spots all over him and some white peices ,like cotton, hanging off of him as he swims. looks kinda like his slime coating is coming off or something. Its so hard to...

I have had this tank since July 2002 and all the same fish except for my clown knife since i got my tank. He has never bothered any of my fish and none of my smaller fish at all. i keep him fed good though.lol He is very nonagressive. Never had a problem with him at all eating my fish. I have...

I cleaned my tank Sunday, and today woke up to a 55 gallon tank with 12 fish in it with white spots all over them. I didn't notice it yesterday when i fed them, just today when i woke up. I freaked out. The only thing i can think of that happened was that i cleaned a minnow tank of my husbands...

Thanks so much! Sounds like that is the prob. :nod: I feed my fish once a day,but i feed them floating goldfish pellets and flake food. I have used the crumbled b4 and will have to switch back to that again and see if it'll work. Thanks again! :D

Is there anything i can do besides the Melafix i am giving him? Thats the only med. i have on hand right now.

HELP! I have a Black Moore that i have had for 16 months. For a month now he has been floating at the surface upside down. When i feed my fish, he swims upright and eats and swims around ok, then he slowing flips over and floats back to the surface. Is this dropsy? He is normal looking, no...

I'm just wondering if it would be safe to move the snails and babies into my 10 gallon tank? I only have 1 fish in there,a lionhead goldfish. We enjoy watching them but cant hardly see them because the clams have my tank a cloudy mess!

I dont i think i will steam them lol! Besides there are only 4, so its hardly worth it. :no: Whatever this stuff is thats coming from inside there shells is clouding my water. I scooped all the dead minnows out this morning,but the tank looks like i dumped milk in it. And its long strings of...

Ok i just woke up this morning and i have a tank full of baby snails. :D But the clams i put in the tank excreted a clear slimy substance from inside there shell, and it killed all my minnows. The minnows look paralyzed! :crazy: What is that? One clam has a minnow up to shell and he seems to...

We went out in our boat today and while swimming my daughter found 3 snails and 4 clams(i think is what they are called here in Ohio). She put them in a bucket with sand and brought them home and put them in her tank in her room. We live in Ohio and these was found in a large lake. The only...

Awww bummer! I hope the meds work and everything turns out ok! When it rains, it pours sometimes huh? Good Luck!

I'm glad to hear he is doing fine. I have my lionshead in a hospital tank of melafix right now. My 2 tin foil barbs decided after a year that they didnt want him in the tank with them. So they beat him up badly. His left eye is gone, and some of his membrane on his head is gone. Very sad. I've...
