Okay so I have been able to get a better view at what the bugs are because they have now grown. They are little white beetle/moth, with in antennas. I see they on the lid of tank out of the water now crawling around.

So my boyfriend thought it would be fun to also bring home a leech for my lobster. Little did he know that the leech was carrying eggs and soon after laid them. I think that it is possible that one of the eggs or.. a few I guess fell onto a snail that we had put into out puffers tank. And I have...

I have a 15g tank with 2 south american puffer fish and 2 cory cat fish. I went snail hunting at a pond and somehow brought back baby leeches and some kind of parasite. I would like to know what people opinions are for the best way and safest way of getting rid of these gross things. I've got...

Hello everyone, I have 3 South American Puffers all of which got Ich. I just noticed it today and my one Puffer is worse off than the others. I am wondering if is safe to do a salt water dip/bath for my Puffers. So far I have done a water change and added more aquarium salt and also I am...

Hello. I had a Betta do this to me as well. It is possibly a disease call Dropsy. It's not treatable because it wrecks the insides of your fish. But some signs of it are : lethargic, pine-coning of the scales (this is where the scales stick out like a pine cone), not coming up for air or not...

Hello everyone, I am wondering if anyone know people in Red Deer, AB, Canada that does or has experience with South American Puffer Dentistry. I have the supplies needed to do the procedure but I am nervous and would like the help of a professional. In the winter time I couldn't go snail...

That is a good idea. I think I might do that tomorrow! Thanks you've helped a lot!

did you give the bottle several good raps on a table or hard surface? I'm only suggesting this because it's just what happened to mine. I did the banging and shaking, and then the test worked fine. I wish I had some other suggestions. No I didn't do that. But I will try that see what...

I usually do shake them a little. But I did what you said and shook all of them a lot. I am still getting the same results. If it is faulty that's weird because it worked before.

Well I did a decent water change... This is my 4 within a 6 day period. But the Nitrate levels have not dropped one little bit. So I did this one suggestion which was test your water before and after the water change.... and the Nitrate levels didn't drop one bit. And my tap water has no...

They are not reading 0.. they do have a reading. Just not high. Which is good because those are toxic. I have tested tap water which I have stated above and it reads 0. And about the filter.. I do not wash the media I simply wash the fan in the motor and maybe the gross stuff around it. I...

Okay so just an update. I tested for Nitrates before a water change. And it was 110. Then I tested my Nitrates after my water change and it does not appear to have changed in the slightest bit. This is driving me nuts. Is there anything else that I can do aside from water changes? PS I have...
