The new Corydora died from an Ich outbreak that one of the 4 (9 left in tank) brought with them (30% daily water changes while I treated with Ich X). I do a 50% water change every week and have been since I got the tank.

To answer some questions and to clarify somethings. The tank has been set up and housing fish for almost 3 years. I just recently started having issues with high PH, but it doesn't seem to be bothering my fish. I had to take a water sample to petco after I lost a fish (peppered Corydora)...

Hello, I bought myself an API Freshwater Master Test Kit to check my PH/GH/KH because the strips said they were "High" and the Petco associate told me they can't sell me fish when all 3 are testing as "High". The main problem I have is I am partially colorblind, and I can't seem to match the...

They keep the tank clean well enough, I should have specified the issue is that I am paralyzed and I am struggling to be able to maintain the Hob style filters. I am looking for a canister filter so it is low where I can easily get to it to clean/maintain it as needed.

What kind of prefilter sponge would I use? I didn't see any for the Fx4. How often should I clean the filter itself?

Hello, I have a 55 Gallon planted aquarium that has a Bristlenose Pleco, a Snowball Pleco, and a Green Phantom Pleco in it. I am trying to find a powerful filter that will keep the tank clean and everything. I was recommended the Fluval Fx4 or Fx6, but I don't want the current so strong that I...

I actually had it heavily planted before the move, I lost most of the plants due to improper transportation (That's on me for not doing proper research for plants to survive the move). I am slowly starting to replant the tank when I have someone over that can/is willing to help me plant them...

Hello, I currently have a 55 Gallon tank lightly stoked as I moved and unfortunately lost most of my fish due to outside forces during the move. Anyway I plan on restocking the tank soon and was looking into an easier to clean/mantain filter for me. I am in a wheelchair so the hang on back...

Hello, I am not sure what kind of snail this is, I have Rabbit snails, Japanese Trap Door snails, and Nerite snails. Any help identifying it would be appreciated.

Yes I wasn't planning on that, thanks for the reminder though!

Thanks for the help, I will start feeding them a mix of the 2 medicated foods to cover anything it could be.

Unfortunately it was a new fish and I did not notice the gill until it was already in my tank (I know I should have a quarantine tank, but I have no room for one). If it is flukes would any of the above medications work to eradicate them? It isn't acting sick or anything currently, just the fin...

Hello, my Angelfish's Gill on one side looks like it was either folded or torn off, and I am not sure if it is Gill Flukes or something else. Any help would be appreciated. I have some Fenbendazol Flake food, and an Anti-Parasite Quad Flake food that has Praziquantel, Levamisole, Epsom Salt, and...

Micro-Lift Artemiss, I have used it in multiple tanks and it has always worked, and several other Corydoras had it and it cleared it up.
