it's a 30 gallon tank... there are 5 other x-rays with him, no his color hasn't returned yet, I left the light on all night to see if maybe it was too dark and the sudden change in light scared him. Tested the water this afternoon, Everything seems good, pH is a little high, but not excessively...

I have 6 x-ray belly tetras, they're about 2.5, 3 years old. When I woke up this a.m. and turned on the tank light, one is a pure milky white color. I don't see any fungus, I don't see any nodules like ich or anything, I don't see evidence of worms or parasites... he just is a completely milky...

cool. My brother found the cause of the leak(s). He found 3. Our petstore didn't have anything to repair it, so they have it on order. Should be in by Wednesday (monday at the latest) My brother thinks he can repair it when it comes in. Thank goodness. Unfortunately the tank isn't new. Bought...

Everything seems to be in working order, the filtration/airline and such. It doesn't seem to be escaping that way. But I don't see any specific leaks, I've emptied it a bit more than half way, and there is still water leaking out, so I think it's near the bottom. I'll have to find some aquarium...

the gourami's get along fine. I haven't had one issue. Granted I have a total of 8 fish in a 75 gallon (or did, now I have 4 in 2 30gallons until I can fix my big tank once I find the leak which I still can't seem to find) so there is more than enough room for them to get away from each other...

As soon as I get it re-set up definitely. This afternoon I had to separate them into two separate 30 gallon sick tanks because I noticed my tank water level seemed to be lower than it should be since I had just cleaned the tank and re-filled it. then I noticed the floor behind it is wet. so...

these are really old pics (over a year) of my blue ram to make the topic more relevant again. he basically looks the same.

well I was trying to post some pictures of my blue ram which is a new world cichlid, but I had to edit the post to remove those pics cause they came out really bad and this is what I was left with. (I originally meant this to be more about my blue ram and how well he's been doing lately). I have...

these are a few of my new guys. I couldn't get a good photo of all my beauties, because they were swimming around too much and the pictures came out blurry. Ever since bringing these dwarf chichlids into my tank, my blue ram (not pictured. He was one of those that wouldn't sit still long enough...

ahh I didn't even think of that... keep the water in bottles or buckets and then reintroduce once settled. okay that makes more sense. I was just panicked when I realized, if I do get to move, what do I do with my little fish... Now I'm not as panicked should all go well and I move.

I am going to be hopefully moving (if all goes well) into a new house. I have 2 fish tanks. One has mostly rainbow and x-ray belly tetras and the other has a few varieties of dwarf cichlids and 1 blue ram. How would I go about moving the fish? cause I'll have to move the tanks to the new place...

okay... this is a serious question... I had 2 German Blue Rams. They were a gift from my mom because she knew I always wanted a tank with Blue Rams. (She bought me a tank as well). I have to admit I wasn't sure I was ready for them because they are difficult to keep, but I was kind of stuck at...

I know assassin snails eat other snails... so I'm assuming they eat flesh too right? cause last night I found my oldest molly dead at the bottom of the tank. She was old, but it was kind of sad because I had her for so long. But I was out the door to an appointment... and I figured I'd clean her...

Quick update... I did a second dose of this declouder medicine (It says it's safe for all fish and plants, both fresh and salt waters)... and when I checked this A.M., the water was crystal clear. Clearer than it's been in a while actually... and my Ram and the snails don't look any worse for...

I used some medicine that is used for clearing water cloudiness and when I woke up today there was a marked difference. I just don't know if the water change helped more or the clarifyer. it says to redose in 24 hours if issue is better but not completely gone. So what I may do is add a little...
