I have DN Rainbows, neons and Ember tetras. Rainbows love flow and the others don’t. I think the Tidal 75 might be the best option. Also two SAE’s… they won’t mind either. Thank you:) I just read up on the Tidals and the self cleaning impeller is also a perk! Thankyou for all your input today...

What would a good tidal be for my 45 gal? 110?

Yes mine was really hot too. It fried the motor pretty sure! My tank is heavily planted as well but I’m not sure about sponge filters yet. I do have a big one as a back up for a potential long term power outage…. Couple battery operated air pumps and loads of batteries, just in case! I like to...

Hello! My Fuval C4 died after a recent power outage, and luckily I was home at the time and had a brand new spare C4 ready to go. Now I’m thinking about my replacement. I don’t like the thought that it needs to be self primed after power outages. And the last one only lasted a year. I have a 45...

Thankyou for the advice! I give them NLS Thera + every couple days. I’m glad you recommend this food…validation! I ended up dosing with the the Prazipro and everyone seems good. It could have been constipation. I’ll do a 50% WC tommorow morning, then put a new Purigen in the filter. i will feed...

Hi there. I’ve had my 45 gal running for a year. Weekly water changes, no casualties in nine months. One Ember tetra has had white long poop twice this week. I have Prazipro on hand (still pink). All other inhabitants look good. Do you guys think it’s internal parasites? Should I use the Prazi...

I can say for the first few months, I thought the females were being terrorized. But as I watched longer, they are just fine. At times they all shoal around together, and I feel they are happy with their pack. Like I said though, no fin nipping. That would change my opinion big time.

Wow! That is beautiful. Definitely enough hiding spots! My male hides most of the day, but in the morning the females seem to enjoy the chasing. Maybe just keep your eye on it. If it gets worse rehome.

I have two males, one dominant (Sharky), and five females. I haven’t seen any nipped Finn’s. I do have A lot of plants and hard scape for them to hide though. Can you show a picture of your tank? Maybe they need more hiding spaces?

Hi! I use the gift card now…it works like a charm. I’m not taking any chances. Thanks for the feedback though :)

I like it so much I ordered 4 more bottles to keep on hand!! Maybe an over reaction but all my tank inhabitants did really well with it! Good luck !

I have 7 dwarf neon rainbows. I just wanted you to know they responded very well to the Paraguard I had to use when I later added some Tetras I didnt Quarentine that brought in ick. I medicated for a month with it and it cleared up all issues. I would monitor closely before starting meds,but it...

Definitely not the star girl I’m familiar with…sorry couldn’t resist.

Keep doing weekly water changes and add Indian Almond leaves…get that liquid test kit! I can’t help more unless you post pics or fill out the emergency template. Hope your fish recovers!

55gallon almost all evaporated? are you testing your water parameters with a test kit? Strips or liquid? Maybe you should fill out the emergency template so we have more info to help you.
