I used it with one of my guppies whose fins were badly messed up and she was very bloated, lying on her side and I thought about ending her suffering but instead put her in a bowl not too deep, then I put the Melafix in the water and left her for three hours, cleaned the sick tank and added a...

Merry Christmas to you too.

My grandmother always said when the apple is ripe, it’ll fall to the ground. Or was it a pear?

When he gets some weight on and is all healthy, throw some feeder fish or crawdads in the tank. My oscars would eat the fish or crawdads and spew out the scales or crawdads crusty skin. Feeding my oscars live food was one of the sad parts of raising oscars. They live a really long time.

I responded to your comment and must have self deleted. Yes it is a Christmas movie just like planes trains and automobiles is a thanksgiving movie and lonesome dove is a New Years series.

Welcome.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I think I put it in the wrong place. Thank you though for the positive reinforcement and showing Me the thread. How can I save it where I can go to it often?

There are a couple of reasons. The first reason is I have a very temperamental Pleco. He rearranges the tank differently every single day, digging up plants, moving gravel into piles from one end for a while then back to where they started, and wants everything floating on top of the water. I’m...

I don’t know how to start a new thread or topic. A few weeks ago, someone posted about using lucky bamboo and ivy to help maintain homeostasis in their aquarium. I cannot find the post. I thought I marked it so I could go back and I guess I’m just not as digitally savvy as I thought. However, I...

It’s totally not lovely when they get in our garden or try to reach the bird feeders or trample my flowers while nibbling on my plum trees. Then, then where there are deer, there are the coyotes and they are just mean. Also, they occasionally walk across the highway in front of cars and most...

I had two cups of freshly ground panama geisha that my friend brings me when he goes to Panama for his job. I roast my own because I like dark roast. I also like Arabic coffee too with a little cardamon. truthfully, it’s rare for me to find a coffee I dislike.

there could still be eggs waiting to hatch. It’s been months since the Bala sharks nd corydoras ate the snails that literally covered the sides of my tank. But, when I did my weekly water exchange, there were three snails hiding under a piece of driftwood. I’ve not added anything to the tank so...

I am Pescatarian but only eat fish once every other week. I am finding it more difficult to eat fish at all but I do think we all need protein that isn’t entirely plant based. My daughter and grandsons go fish for trout so I usually have trout either frozen or canned.

I am no expert; however, I do know that plecos and kuhli loaches get pretty big. And guppies reproduce like crazy so if your Pleco and kuhlies are small now, they won’t be for too long.
