Sorry for late reply, how is your beautiful angel doing? Did the swelling go down? I have seen prolapse before, but not sure this is it. It looks related to the vent to me.

Not special, but it does enjoy high lighting, especially if using to wrap around driftwood @Cromid. I had it wrapping around driftwood in my 46g at one point, it did well as long as it wasn't shaded. It grows much faster for me floating though. The most trouble it causes is pruning out any bare...

Cyano can be blue, green, black and even red. So you didn't even add anything live from the store yet? Goes to show it doesn't have to be introduced.... I have battled cyano on occasion in different tanks. It likes to persist in my 120g right now, but I used to have it in my 90g and I haven't...

I didn't see the pic of your tank, but there's a floating plant I love to use that often gets forgotten. It's Brazilian pennywort. I usually tie it with fishing line to stay along the front or back so it doesn't block light, but I keep it floating and it makes a nice canopy quickly. It grows...

This is just a safe parasite control you could try if you feel like it. It is effective against Hexamita. Take a solution of 3/4tsp Epsom Salts (without additives) dissolved in 1/2cup water in a pipette. Drop enough solution to just moisten a layer of pellet food on the bottom of a small shot...

I'm only piping in to say I noticed some weird bulges in the upper abdomen of the surviving fish so you are on the right path with internal parasites given the white poop. It gets so difficult trying to diagnose because white poop usually means internal parasite, but also could be infection or...

They are not planaria, so no worries. They are known as detritus worms and not harmful, just FYI

Not sure what to say, but I wouldn't get a second geo. They are schooling cichlids like angels and discus and create a hierarchy. With only two individuals, one will almost always outcompete the other. 3 is a bad number for any cichlid bc if a pair forms, the odd one out is tormented. With 4...

If you want to tell the difference between 40 and 80ppm nitrates, just put in half the drops of regant. If it's still red, you have closer to 80ppm, if it turns orange, you have 40ppm. If your tap doesn't contain nitrates, a water change will bring those levels down. Ex a 50% WC will lower...

That is interesting about the anacharis elodia densa. That's the stuff I used to grow. But now that you mention it, it started to die off and now has completely melted at temps of 80°f. That's what happened to it! And your right, it was much finer than other types of anacharis. I'm going to...
