Thanks. Will do. He has his 2nd poo string hanging in just about a 2 hour period. It's mainly clear. I noticed one last night too. So that's 3 clear poo strings in half a day so far. :(

Well. He definitely eats and I have been feeding them sparingly due to my Ammonia spike (see other thread about swordtail). Shelled peas? Never heard of that tactic.

I have 4 albino Cory catfish, 1 double tail male betta, 2 gold panda mollies, 1 silver mollie, 3 hi fins, and the blue dwarf gourami + a red velvet male swordtail in a hospital tank right now due to body fungus. Nothing out of the ordinary other than the gourami having long stringy white and...

Yes, long stringy poos and they are either white or clear. It varies.

Thanks. NOW my blue dwarf gourami has internal parasites so I am dealing with that. I started another thread about it. I am having quite a time as of late.

Thanks for all the advice! I am pretty sure the swordtail has body fungus, but with salt water baths and time to recoup in the hospital tank he is looking much better! My main tank is finally starting to cycle again. I retrieved a dirty filter pad( thanks PrincessKiara :) ) from a pet shop 45...

My blue dwarf gourami definately has an internal parasite :(. Are there any treatments which do not break the cycle of the tank? I am already trying to get my tank back to normal after foolishly using Bactersheild to treat a swordtail with body fungus. That killed all my good bacteria. I have a...

Ah. Ok. I thought as much. Just did an 80% water change. Fingers crossed. :/ Thanks for all the advice!

Yikes. That totally sucks. :( Stupid question, but what does a fish-in cycle involve? Also, I had the guppies first and the betta was one of those unexpected purchases. I have never seen one like him and felt sorry for him. He is doing ok so far. I have been watching him like a hawk.

I did a 6 week fish less cycle before staring this tank. It has been going great for 2 months now. I have a 29 gallon tank with 1 blue dwarf gourami, 4 albino Cory catfish, 2 gold panda mollies, 1 silver molly, 1 red velvet male swordtail and 1 half moon make betta, 3 hi fins and 2 male fancy...

When it rains it pours. (See my post in emergencies) So, I had an ammonia spike in my main tank last night as well. I immediately did a 50% water change and used Ammolock. My ammonia was 8.0+ last night but ph, nitrates, nitrites, etc were normal. Ph was 7.6 others 0. NOW, ammonia is 8.0+ ...

Unfortunately I am at Petco now and they don't have the blue and green. Picking up some maracyn icy and aquarium salt + hydrometer. Best I can do. :( ugh. Oxy not icy Should I just do saltwater baths or do the salt baths plus add salt to the hospital tank?

Thanks. Actually I have not used an antibiotic in my main tank. Only Bactershield, which is not an antibiotic but works more like a water conditioner. Or so I was told and have read. So my cycle in the regular tank should be fine. :) Is there something I can get that will treat both...

Well, I am not left with many options as far as treating my poor swordtail. As I have read, any treatment I do really is recommended for individual treatment. I also don't want to put the rest of the community in any more possible danger. Also, my gold panda mollies are now picking on him a...
