Pics attached. Thank you.

ok, I won’t purchase bala's going forward. Still have question on what is happening right now. As stated, I had an ich outbreak, had casualties. It has been a couple weeks, have done water change and re-installed the Eheim canister filter with carbon a week ago. The large(6 inch) bala I...

Can you please explain this statment. Cross bred? Thanks.

Hi all, starting a new thread because I do not believe this is related to the one I have on the "Question on Ich". I have not added new stock since my last update Feb 18. I have added a video link here, shows issue better than still pictures. On the bala sharks, especially the large one I...

Update: One of the small bala shark survived, with the large bala and the pleco. I had stopped treatment a week ago for one day. Carefully inspected, made sure I had my glasses on and used a flash light. Still saw a few spots on the small bala, so restarted treatment. It has been a week and all...

Shouldnt mix treatment right? Parasite and bacteria!

Update: The pleco and the large, older bala shark still look fine. White spots on that bala tail are all gone. One of the two small, new bala is active, the other, not so much. They both still have white spots. I am thinking of changing medication, what to you all think? Maybe to the Rid-Ick...

Yeah, I already realized that was a bad idea.

So that is why I don’t see the snails in the tank itself. Once in a while I will see one, but it gets eaten by the clowns. Guess when I get a loach and acclimated, I will put it in the wet/dry filter for a while to clean it up.:)

Hi Guys, this is an update and request for advice. A little bit lengthy, I apologies. I have been keeping fish for some time and have been very successful at it so far. Several times I have taken water sample to my LFS to test and always have been good. They said whatever you are doing, keep it...

Thanks guys. Tank setup is all good, no issues that I can see. This setup is 20 years old as well. I will continue with it and as suggested get new fish while treating. The place I purchased the small clown loach charged $25 for 1. Dont plan on going back there though. Found a couple other...

I want to thank you all for your help and advice on this issue. I have another question. Have any of you on this forum or have you ever heard of a tank collapsing, coming apart. This is a concern I have been having for a few months and think of getting rid of mine. I had a 45-gal deep tank when...

Thanks coralbandit Just took a look, last clown died. So all I have left is the older big bala and four small ones. The four smail ones I had purchased with to 2 baby clown, that infected the tank.

So, if I am doing treatment twice a day(every 12 hour) do I also need to do water change at each treatment?

No problem.
