I don't want to stomp on another person's thread here, but maybe this question will help both of us out... Lynden, When you say "keep the anemone near the top of the tank", what exactly do you mean by this. Well, I know what it means and it is so that the anemone can get more light than if it...

Thanks. I am going to start with antibiotic treatment using erithromyacin (sorry, still dont know how to spell it) and turn to the garlic treatment for now if this is a parasitic worm or nematode. This way I will not be using two meds at once. Any advice or techniques for feeding garlic to...

I feel the same way about it being an ok looking fish other than being thin. Is there a way to treat for both a bacteria and possible parasite as sort of a precaution? I know there are many broad spectrum antibiotics out there, but are there any broad spectrum parasite meds? Thanks for your...

I realize that about the antibiotic and am equipped to deal with it. I just put the filter media in another tank and let the filter running for gas exhange. Anyways, I finally caught this fish and put it in the three gallon tank. I couldnt get a good picture of it but got this short video...

I am working on a new picture of it. Going to try to catch it and put it in the QT right now. I think that the substrate and the established filter will be fine for putting the fish into an otherwise uncycled tank. Didnt want to risk it really since it is already weakened I assume but like I...

Is there a general type medication I might want to try like an antibiotic such as erythromyacin (sp?) or maybe another product like a melafix/pimafix that the LFS in my area are always touting as such a great, natural product to cover a lot of different things? I am starting to feel like I am...

I see. I had this problem in a Molly once (you brought it to my attention actually) but I really think this one is different. I have read the article (alot of good info in there, btw) and this fish has one or two of the symptoms but not most of them. It is not sluggish at all and is still...

Hello everyone! I had made an earlier thread on this topic, but things have gotten worse over the past two days for a yellow lab that I have. Long story short, it has had a sunken belly since I brought it home and added it to my tank. It always eats well and is still eating well today...

I agree that a pleco is not the best choice here, especially in a mainly discus tank since I hear they are extremely picky about the water conditions they are kept in. I also agree that most plecos get too big for a 55 gallon tank and it is not just the size they can reach but also how much...

To the best of my understanding, the use of RO water in some instances is not advisable because it is basically lacking all of the trace elements that some fish are used to or need to thrive. For example, you are trying to raise the general hardness of your water after you have spent the time...

Ok, I did not know about the blood worm issue and I have fed it to this tank more so because of my tiger barbs and rainbow shark. I can easily keep it away from them though and stick with the brine shrimp. I dont think this is my main problem here though since all the rest of my labs are just...

No black patches. I fed some frozen foods (brine shrimp and blood worms) last night and this fish couldnt get enough of the stuff. I am going to raise the amount of times I feed frozen foods and see if I can get some bulk on this fish. If it doesnt work at all, then I can be pretty sure there...

OK, so I admit that I was wrong with the angels being brackish and was thinking more so about the Mono. I appologize and shouldnt have made that comment based upon my fading memory. Again, I am not trying to start a huge problem here and I am learning from this thread as well. I appreciate the...

First, let me say that I am not trying to argue or spur on a huge debate with my comments here so take it easy on me...and DiscusLova as well. First, this whole thread sounds as if we are talking about a huge amount of salt being added to this freshwater tank, which is not the case here or at...

Thanks guys. To be honest, I dont think I have ever seen any of my yellow labs 'go to the bathroom'. I wasnt paying a particular attention to it I suppose, but I will keep an eye out for it. The water quality in this tank is very good at most times. My only problem with my water source is...
