I should probably add that during my last water change i found 2 diffrerent live organisms: 1) a small darkish worm (i never fed live food; i do vacuum gravel every week; and i do have live plants) 2) tiiinny free-swimming greyish balls, maybe the size of a small sugar grain. i couldn't...

Hi guys, So I left my stepfather overnight with 3 halfbeaks. when i came back there were only 2. I discovered after long searching a mostly-eaten body. Just a bit of chest area left and a part of a tail. This girl was always a bit on the shyer side. I do have another female who's a tiran trying...

a 20 gallon is nearly not enough to house that many halfbeaks. I have 3 in my 20 gal tall and i'm planning to move one to another tank because they reeaally like their space. i'd stick with 2. You can go 2 routes. get a freshwater kind (Dermogenys) or the brackish water kind. If u go...

the fish has passed. :( still can't believe what just happened. this came out of nowhere! tomorrow i'll bring the fish to my LFS and show it to them. so would you recommend bying smth general like melafix and do half dosage just to make sure nothing spreads? or specific medication for gram...

primagen, thank you for your reply. this white cloud was the second to go in, so it actually wasn't exposed to high ammonia and nitrites. i got some gravel from my LFS, so the whole cycling process was a joke really. i do have a 20 gal, but my half beaks tried to eat my white cloud, so that...

actually if its fungus, maybe i could treat it with quick cure? it says ick and protozoan parasites. thats fungus right? am i making the right diagnosis?

in my 5.5 gallon i got 2 white clouds. i got the second one not more than a week ago. he seemed fine when i bought fim, but today this is what i noticed!! look at the tail area. its red and in the middle of it is like white fluff line. he/she has it aaall around the tail; it's like a red circle...

Hi all, So my 5.5 gal is cycled. I got it set up honestly just to raise my 2 baby danios. But as i spent around 100 buks on it already, i wanna keep it running even when the babys are all grown out and in with my other danios in a 20 gal. Right now i have in: 2 white cloud minnows 2 baby...

u know i had same film too in my 5.5 gal a few weeks ago. it started showing around the time when my wood started growing fungus on it. do u have wood in your tank? anyway, mine just dissapeared after i did a partial waterchange. maybe ur right though about the bacteria supplement. or maybe even...

my cats learned not to jump up on the counters just in that manner. I would clap my hands from far away and shout smth like "a-a-a" or "HEY". if they were still there looking at me like im an idiot, I would keep coming closer and clapping simultaneously all the way up until i'm clapping in front...

i think you're leaving out too much of a time frame to put water on her. when any animal performs an undesired action, the correction has to come the same second or they have trouble undersanding what they are being punished for. i think what makes your cat not come up to the tank is the fact...

just an update, pleco doesn't have any spots anymore, i just put in the last treatment as a precaution. thank you all for your advice, i can say now that with your help i have beat ich/ick. PS: all fish have made it, including corys. :good:

wow thank u for that! i hope ur right! the girl got me really worried. danios always get into trouble! just a couple of days ago my male got his head and fin stuck in my CO2 system and it took me half an hour to get him out. one of his gills got a bit damaged but hes getting better now and...

hi everyone. Ok, it seems my troubles just keep adding on. Im treating my tank for ick (going good, will be done in 6 days) today i came home to discover my female danio swimming weird. i looked closer, and saw her head bent to the side, like she turned her head to look and it got stuck. so...
