Thank you, and yes, others have access. I'll vacuum up, thanks!

I Noticed These A Couple of days ago and they're just growing. At First I Thought maybe they were dwarf frog eggs, but I can't find a picture that looks like them. anyone know? I don't want to vacuum them up if they're eggs, but I'm really starting to wonder. Thank You!

Wouldn't Metroplex or KanaPlex take care of infection and parasites? Any idea how long I can dose before it causes its own issues? I used Metroplex originally, but after two weeks dosing I water it doesn't seem to have made a whole bunch of difference

Eating has improved, although he still isn't eating like he used to. Almost like he knows he needs to eat but isn't really interested lol if that makes sense. The other fish didn't bother him at all. I've never had problems with my bettas in community tanks. As for how they are, there are no...

I've had Colenol Mustard since November. He's always been a seemingly happy thing, swimming slowly back and forth in a 40 Gallon community tank with Brilliant Rasboras, a couple of female guppies, a male barb and his small harem. About 3 weeks ago, he started hanging out at the top corner of...

@angelcraze Is Kanaplex safe for snails? We have a mystery snail that my dad is really fond of, and an assassin snail that has done me some serious favors getting rid of pest snails

Lordofwar Also, Seachem says snails are sensitive to Kanaplex and Metroplex, so I've only been dosing the food. I can't tell if there are any that are worse than others, so I'm dosing the whole tank instead of trying to quarantine. Thought about moving the snails to the quarantine tank and dose...

angelcraze looked it up and found this: That looks exactly like what was on my betta's mouth, and on the back of my tetra that died, and their actions (floating up to the top of the tank, gills moving faster) were just like that. Lordofwar I don't see concave - if anything, they're all a...

The two betta pictures are before he died, just so you can see what he looked like. Barbs have been nose down since day one, including in the LFS tank. Figured that was normal, but now it has me wondering. Only two missing from pics are two guppies that are malformed, but are still hardy little...

And if it's ich, I have read that I can raise the heat in the tank to speed up the process and add garlic, but I don't know if my current fish friends can handle 86 degree water.

I don't currently have anything quarantined. The tetra that was missing fins died before I had a chance. My betta I quarantined as soon as I could (had to get the hospital tank). I don't see any white spots on any of the others. I was wondering: since my betta died in the hospital tank, can I...

Tank What is the water volume of the tank? 40 gallon How long has the tank been running? Tough question. It was originally a 30 gallon hex, but had an emergency move to a 40 long because the hex sprung a big leak. Used the original water, filter, plants and decorations. The only change was...

Update, and info for anyone with a tropical community tank and low PH problems.... I did a 10% water change two days ago. Normally, I'd start seeing a drop in PH by today, but I'm maintaining a steady 7.4 PH. So what happened? I followed the awesome advice of some great fishkeepers here...

So, it's been awhile since I posted... been busy making sure the tanks were looking good. Today, I panicked, thought I'd killed my fish. I bought some Florite substrate, like I said I was going to. My ph had been holding fairly steady since the last time I posted. I did a 50% water change so...

Thank you so much for responding. I was in total panic mode and called my LFS, who basically said calm down, it will settle. I diluted the water and then basically just prayed like crazy. They were swimming around crazily, and they looked as of they were breathing heavier than normal. It's...
