thank you!!

(we live in NY, USA.)

okay but what whitespot meds? there's tons out there and i'm sure some of them are junk.

okay. what do you recommend? :)

i am using Furan-2.

Should I get a different medication? If so, what is best? Yes, I know. :) The main tank has a filter that is rated for 40-gal (even though its a 30-gal tank) and will be getting the 30-gal filter from the 10-gal tank when the new fish moves in. So I'll have filtration for a 70-gal tank in a...

okay! is the black carbon to prevent overmedicating? then its probably the nitrite thats the zero. i'm not with the kit so i cannot look. re: ((Also you need double filteration with goldfish as they are massive waste producers.)) i know. this is the hospital/sick tank. plus, the filter...

Just found the sticky: Tank size: 10-gallon quarantine. tank has 10 (or 15-gal) air pump with a 6" airstone, a live plant and a whisper internal 30-gal filter. THIS IS A NEWLY ACQUIRED FISH, SHE'S IN QUARNTINE -- NOT PERMANENT HOME. FROM MON Feb 16 pH: ~6.8 ammonia: 0 nitrite: either 0 or 20...

hi! i don't remember precisely as the last readings were on monday. on saturday, the ammonia was a little high and i got it down to zero by monday with several water changes and gravel cleaning. pH was at 6.8. either nitrate or nitrite was at zero around 20, i think. (the most lethal one...

Hi! We got a new black moore goldfish (Speedie) this past Mon evening (16th). She was put in a 10-gal quarantine tank. That tank had been in use for 6 months so it was an established tank. All levels were checked with an API test kit and everything looked good. FYI-The tank contains an...

HI!! The pet stores are telling me all kinds of different things :o!! All of you were so helpful last time, I thought that I'd come back here. :) Swimmey seems to be doing well. He digs around in his gravel a lot, ate the second plant that we bought him and is now working on eating the...

hi! thanks!! i did read this when you posted. i'm sorry that i did not respond, i thought that i had. i doubt that i'll need the heater here. with the apt heat on, it wont get below 60-F, unless there's a power outage and then a heater won't help anyway. (unless do they have ones that are...

it's summer so it's hot out. i have on the a/c but even with the window unit, the internal room temperature never falls below 78-F. i'll just keep using the ice packs. i am concerned about the winter bc we will have the heat on but i keep it in the low to mid 70s only when home bc it costs a...

hi! yes, i am in USA. i will keep checking craigslist.. thanks! his tank is kinda hot (80-F). wish they had coolers for the tanks, like they have heaters. i put an ice pack on the back of the tank (outside), hoping it will help. i'm freezing more ice packs now. could i put them inside...

Swimmey's all moved in! At first, he was swimming really fast (I think he was stressed) but he's back to swimming normal. He's got all this extra space and still mostly hangs out in a corner. Figures. ;)
