Hi all, haven't been on in quite some time but I need some expert advice! Has anyone seen Synodontis Eupteris (featherfin) mate? I have 2, each about 5-6 inches and they have always gotton along pretty well with the occasional chasing over territory. They mostly share the same log together...

I have maracyn II but the lfs is just down the street I could buy something else if needed. The spot is not red, just a faded spot and its about the diameter of a small pea (but the bn is a juvenile, prob only 2 inches in length). Tried to get a pic but it wont come to the front of the tank. One...

Yes I do, Ill take the carbon out and start the meds today.

the temp dropped from 80 degrees to 66 overnight. It looked like air bubbles on the heater and then the bubbles were burnt and looked melted in the morning when I noticed it wasn't working. I replaced the heater ASAP and it is gradually rising - I bought the new heater Monday morning and the...

The past 4 days my fish have been mysteriously dying and I can't figure out why. I have a 40 gal stocked with: 6 juvenile Angels 3 glass cats 1 platy 1 small kili 2 synodontis europis 2 small bn plecs 2 baby swordtails 5 cories 1 snail My water stats are: PH 7.6 Ammonia 0 Nitite 0 (no...

Just fed some sinking shrimp pellets for my cories and one of my killies took one whole and it looks loged in his throat! Hes swimming eratically with his mouth hanging open and it wont come out - is there anything I can do!

UPDATE: I have used 2 doses of the TC so far and the swelling is actually going down and the fish seems to be swimming more but is also rocking front and back when stationary...

When I feed he swims to the other end of the tank and wont eat and mostly hangs at the bottom of the tank but is still swimming at times. The meds I have is erythromyacin so I am going to the store today to buy some tetracycliine for the tank. He hasn't gotten any bigger but he's hanging on...

OK he has no interest in the pea, and after soaking him again in epsom salts he still hasnt pooped. The same thing happened to my other gourami but he swelled up and died within days - this guy has been hanging on for a week like this and is happily swimming in the tank. I do have a box of...

no scales sticking out right now. I feed a combo of flake, frozen brine shrimp, and sinking wafer (for the cories) I'll try the pea today

For the past week my honey gourami has had an extremely swollen belly. He is swimming OK, and eating OK but I haven't seen him poop in a very long time so I think he may be constipated. I soaked him in epsom salts and it hasn't helped... He is in a 10 gal with 3 ghost shrimp, 3 albino cories and...

Wilder, No my nitrite was fine before treatment. Does the maracyn also raise the PH? I have always been a steady 7.2 and its at 7.6 (possibly higher, as the test only tests to 7.6)

OK, ***BAD UPDATE*** I have done the 3 day of Maracyn II, and I just noticed that one of my corys is spiraling really bad. It was floating in the plants at the top and I thought it was dead. When I put the net in it spiraled down, hit the bottom, darted up to the top and floated back to the...
