Just an update, I fed 'em again today with the soaked flakes, and while she did much better, she was still clearly agitated.  She still darted around (though not nearly as much) and kept going up to breathe before shooting back down, as well as burping bubbles.  However she didn't appear to have...

2 days ago I fed 'em some peas (right before the "fast") and I normally feed 'em TetraColor Tropical Crisps (so usual aquarium flakes) and Aqueon Shrimp pellets.  They also feed graze a bit on the algae growin on some of the plant decor.  I did just realize that I do not soak the flakes before...

Tank Information:   36 Gal Bowfront 0 ammonia 0 nitrite 20ish nitrate   77 degrees F 5 gallon water change every 3 days (so 20-30%ish per week)   Hey all!   About four days ago I had a molly that effectively spun itself to death (kept chasing its tail until it was too exhausted to, and then kept...

Sorry for your loss.  :(   I did more research and couldn't find anything useful... at least whatever it was doesn't appear to have affected the other cories.

Welp that about kills my limited knowledge...  I did some looking around on the web but didn't find much.  It's really weird that only one of 'em appears to be having an issue.  I'll try n' do some more reading up and see if I can't find anything...    Is the betta acting strange at all?   Also...

Going to semi-hijack my own thread here, since I feel bad making two topics in 3 days...   1) What fish medications (if any) have you guys found safe to use?  The molly has passed on, and I'm not convinced the cherry barb's occasional flashing (and white scar-like patch) is a reason to medicate...

Hi there!   I'm very new at taking care of fish myself, so hopefully someone else will come along and be able to help, but figured I'd try my best to answer and ask the preliminary questions that usually crop up.  :)   From what I've read on cories before, if they're having breathing trouble...

Mornin' all!   Will keep this quick since I'm about to head out for work, but I euthanized this morning.  :(  When I woke up he was whirling uncontrollably, and when he finally managed to stop about 10 minutes later, he was permanently stuck in an L-shape and no longer able to controller his...

Thanks again for the posts!   Well I certainly like that explanation more than the whole "incurable disease thing", especially since from what I've been reading I should also be seeing some sort of deformity and a lot less motor control then I am.  Will keep an eye on him, but that makes me at...

Thanks for the prompt reply RR!   You may be right on the Pearl Gourami,, I'm not sure.  I did a lot of research on proper size and temperament going into getting him, and everything pointed to him being right for the tank.  That being said he's the fish I'm most tentative about having in the...

Hey all!   Been a while since I've posted on here.  Had computer issues, and once I got the computer up and running again and forgot about this site until (of course) my fish started acting weird.   I have a 36 gallon bowfront aquarium (it's been cycled for about 5-6 months now) that's stocked...

Hey all!   Got back from vacation and found out my monitor had decided it wanted to stop working on the comp.  Apparently the whole system decided it wanted to go out in one fell swoop.  :P  Got a new monitor in and can now finally reply to ya'll again.  :)  Everybody did great while I was gone...

Hey all!     The comp's working well!  I somehow managed to NOT screw up building it.    Thanks for askin'!   Everybody's still doing well, and the cories have settled in quite nicely.  The cherries apparently find them fascinating... a bunch of the females sit there and watch them swim around...

Hello all!   Sorry I disappeared for so long.  My computer died a horrible, painful death and I decided I would try and build a new one for the first time ever, which resulted in a month before I had anything working again.  But I'm back up and running, so I thought I'd post an update on here...

Hey all!   I added two more cherry barbs to the tank today (a male and a female).  They adapted to the tank a lot quicker then the other two... were out of the plants n' swimming within an hour.  Otherwise everything's still goin' well in the tank.  One of the bigger females is harrassing the...
