thanks..put some ice cube in a ziplock bag and hanged in the top. I estimated that 10G tank would need ~1 kg of ice to reduce temperature by 4F. Not too bad....

There are some discussion on the temperature here. However, I am still confused. I understand that I should keep tropical fishes at 78F. However, temperature was rising in the last week and I don't have AC in the room in which I have aquarium. Temperature is gone past 85F and I cut off all...

My betta has got one eye big...like popped out. Any suggestion?

In my case, it must be something other than Ich or columnaris. *Fish has been like that for more than 10 days (Ich should spread in 6-24 hours). *Fish does not rub its body with other stuff. *Not infecting body. I am testing the Icl clear on one fish before I try on the whole aquarium. I will...

The more I read about Ich, it looks as if they are not ich. They are not forming on glass fish body. Ich disease (parasite) spreads and moves on the body, detaches and multiplies, infects other fishs, but it didn't happen to my other fishes. Also, my other glass fish would run after the infected...

the white stuffs are on FINs only, not on the body. I have not put ICK clear medicine yet. There is no white patch on the body except all fins.

These are the pictures. Can someone confirm if they are ich and I should use "Ick Guard"made by junglelabs.com . another picture another picture

I read the pinned article too. Yeah, It is Ich and not ick. I will try to put a picture also 4-5 hours later so people can confirm that it is ich. From the Ich article, I would have to do the following: change water, increase the temperature and then treat with ich guard. I also have a Pleco and...

I went to lfs and they sell baby guppies as feeder (15 for $1). I was looking for live bloodworms and he told me that I can even use baby guppies for feeding community fishes too. These guppies are probably 1cm size. Should these be feeded to community fishes (danio zebra, black and neon tetra...

I have a pair of painted glass fish (did not know that they were artificially colored) and one of them has got ick (fins has white dots like salt/sugar particle) for last 2 weeks. In the beginning I put that fish in a half gallon container with ick guard medicine. 12 hours later, it was in...

danio zebra..(looks pick though)?

Their rear half changes color from dark to light after light is put on. Looks interesting...
