They are laying on their side. Last night i added one does at around 70% (7 capful) of kordon ick...

    Why are some species bold and other skittish ?

    So about 4 months ago I picked up a group of eques on the advice of someone else because they would not be skittish and this is indeed the case - they show no fear and never run and hide when I approach them (they were wild caught). However in all my tanks sterbai and orange laser (aeneus) are...

    Has anyone kept Cichlasoma amazonarum ? Do they do fine in white water or require blackwater? Also any comment in general in a community tank and if so what species would you mix them with (passive environment not bully environment) ?

    Nitrate impact on fishes ?

    I believe someone - maybe @Colin_T or @Byron indicate that nitrate levels above 20 had negative impact on cichlid - is there a reference to a paper with this information ?

    Who is mauling my angelfish or is it a disease ?

    My angelfish over the last 3 or 4 months have been injured. It started as one of two spots and has grown. My impression is that it might be a bn pleco sucking on the angel but could it be a disease or another fish? The other fishes candidates would be clown loach, yoyo loach, female kribs (there...

    Are there any wide body tetra that are active school like rummies?

    Most of the wide body tetras i've owned like serpae, white fin rosy, ... are similar to cardinals in that they mostly sit still all day and look pretty. Are there any that are active schoolers like rummies and are comfortable in 82-84 temp range ?

    ill cory not sure what to do ?

    I have this 'ill' sterbai cory that I'm not sure how (or if) I should treat. I had a second one like it (actually 4 out of 25) that I tried to treat with various fungus medicines but none of them helped and eventually it died. This cory has been in this shape for at least 8 months. I moved it...

    My two ugly 29s

    So I recently posted one of my 29s in a contest here and it received exactly 0 votes (tanks with plastic plants received more votes) so it must be pretty awful. I thought I would post both 29s and see what simple aquascaping they need so next contest it can get 1 vote instead of 0 (the white one...

    Skinny clown loach

    I purchased two small clown loaches from wetspot approx 6 weeks ago. One of them is doing fine and has put on a lot of weight but the other has gotten skinner and his side spines are beginning to show. I'm not convince he is eating a lot as I've watched him when i feed the fishes. Question is...

    Amusing salt water fish: coelacanths

    Read this article - these fishes are preg. for 5+ years ! - https://news.yahoo.com/weird-living-fossil-fish-lives-173300120.html - sadly they are a bit rare so you can't run out and get one (i think - maybe someone is breeding them for hobbists ;) )

Ignore the substrate as that will...
