different meds on different tanks on different fish what do u suppose i do? let them die?-.....like i said the gournami and one of the rams were new -stores tanks are fine- already checked

Ok...it all started with my Serpae tetras- I think....whoever says these guys are community fish are lying! They are fin-nippers from hell. At any rate- I noticed about two weeks ago that my bala sharks (3 out of the 4) had some nicks and slices in their fins...I thought maybe they had cut...

i must say ill never try to save a buck again. At my trusty lfs I bought a heater- the cheapest one there for mt QT tank- its just a qt tank, right?? BIG mistake. Little did i know there is no safety feature whatsoever and after turning it on yesterday i fell asleep for about two hours...

Im confused too- SO many different issues and its hard to explain each one and give enough details so I can get educated advice. Il try my best to recap in a short and sweet manner. The 20 gallon is NOT cycled. Everytime it has gotten close an issue arouse and I needed to medicate a fish...

Ugh where to begin- Yesterday I had one of my male FT guppies die- this was in my 10 gallon tank and about 1 week prior a piece of his tale was missing- then a few days later he started "shimmying" then a day before he died his back tail got "clamped" and yesterday he sucumbed...I had just...

aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh MTS got me and Got me GOOD!! I was browsing Craigs list last night and saw a 20 gallon tank with stand and filter for a great price so guess what- I now have my Fourth tank!! lol- AND i am going to do a fishLESS cycle in it (Maybe after using it for a hospital...

I'm not really sure if the Giant Danio is sick- It IS a white spot on his lower lip but like I said his personality hasn't changed in any other way- still as active and hungry as ever. I dont think he'll stay still long enough for me to take a picture but I will try-- Thats what I was trying...

I wholeheartedly believe that the majority of people here know what they are talking about otherwise I wouldn't keep coming back...my entusiastic spouse works nights 4 days a week and has to sleep all day so his particiapation isn't as great as we would all like- he does help out a lot but he...

I have been using a python to remove the water its the replenishing the water thats a pain - lol- i have 25 1 gallon bottles (have a bad back and cant lift more than that) and i have to refill them all to make it 50- thats what I get for not doing a fishless cycle- Well, I added the BioSpira...

bump...sorry guys i just wanted to make sure someone saw this and try to get a little advice....i tried again to take my fish back to the stores but to no avail- is .5 Nitrite and 1 ammonia (maybe lower today going to seriously harm my fish? Please read previous entry Thanks in advance

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??!! this filter media has been in there for at least 3 days now and I changed 50% of the water once and 25% three times in the last 4 days and my Ammonia is still at 1.0 ppm! (API kit) and my Nitrites are somewhere between .25 and .50 ppm- is this mature filter media...

This is driving me crazy- I did the 50% water change and the Nitrites went down to .25 but the Ammonia is still1.0!! Should I put some ammonia granules in for a few hours or something?? I used 2-3 drops of Prime in each gallon of water before adding it thinking that may help but its been...

this is no good- i did my 25% water change around 1am and this morning around 1030 my Nitrite was at 1.0!!!! a little worse than yesterday.. Im going to try to do a 50% water change if i can get the baby to take a nap but is this something that is critical and needs to happen within hours or...
