Thank you kindly. I'm at a loss, too, though another poster enlightened me some. I feel bad. I did the Methyl dip. Should this be done daily or a one-time thing? I looked at the other post, but it says both ways, so I'm not sure if that's for treating different things. And thank you very much...

Wow, thank you, a lot of things to digest. Makes me sad, especially losing a fish you spent years learning how to be a “Marian Biologiest” for. I never though I would feels so much for my fish. Thank you for all this information and educating me on some new things to put in my archive. The other...

Thank you mattgirl for taking the time to respond. Yes, both filters are running on low. I don't want my fancy tail bouncing around, haha. Though, I have turned them up to see if it would help. I literally will watch at ground level the intake. The Aquaclear is a song on the intake. I even took...

This is an issue I have been trying to find answers to, not sure if I'm just wording things wrong for google. 30x12x18 (29 gal); what I'm having a hard time with is my filter doesn't seem to be sucking in the junk floating around my tank. The flow is perfectly fine, adjusted low or high, works...

Thank you for your help, so much appreciated. I’m looking into getting some live plants from aquarium co-op online. Also I refrained from cleaning to see if that would help some. I noticed it’s caused a thick layer of muck on the glass. Still see through. I get that a lot of that is beneficial...

This I completely agree with. I'm just beside myself with why my tank has conspiracy been could for months. Hey ruud thank you No, my plants are fake. I have been looking into live plants. I get worried because I see stuff about CO2 and with live plants. Need to keep researching. What started...

You are so speedy in response thank you. I am currently using two filters. I have a Aqueon 55 that I have modified to include pre filter on the intake, sponge in the filter and a polishing pad Then in the tidal I have two sponges, fine polishing filter pad and some bio media. Last week I do...

Hey friends First off and far most, a huge thank you to everyone who came here to assist, offer advice and share with me!! I wanted to give another update on my Golden Dojo Loach. It's been about 10 days since I last posted. She has impressed me. Though in the one photo, she still appears...

Hey everyone I wanted to update on my Dojo Loach. It's been a few days. So as you can see, she's upright. For two days now she has been this way. She “swam” about 1/4 of the way up then back down. This is more than she's done in over a week now. She still can get bumped around easily, and she...

Your loaches are so cute ! Makes m want another tank full of them!! I would think the same thing seeing how it's a normal behavior, I believe what has me more on edge apart from a possible natural habit, is that fact I don't believe she's eating, possibly weeks now. She only stays in that spot...

Hello friends, I wanted to give an update on my Dojo Loach being upside down. I'm still having issues with her and wanted to discuss changes and provide an update, one because I'm still searching for help and two, in case others come here for answers one day. I have still been attempting to...

Good day, and thank you for your reply. Since posting, I have done a water change. Actually I have even changed my substrate to fine sand (to help my dojo loaches thrive). Wail keeping about 75% of the old tank water and matching my new added tap water to the old using additives. Water...
