added him back in yesterday was two rounds of api general cure after using another med mix, the thick white spots were gone and he was still eating so I moved him back in. he is staying near the surface about 80% of the time but Is eating, I think he is just healing as he has shown some...

Group is doing well. One male is still in quarantine, going to be interesting, the change to three boys.

hey thanks ! if you get them that size it will be a long time to even worried, they are slow growers. They can get real beefy but mine are about a year old, I would expect their length will increase by another inch or so, over the next year and they will fill out even more, little piggies ...

hiya ! Been keeping rainbows and learning a ton Rainbows in general have large mouths but small throats. Expanding food (some freeze dried stuff ) can actually choke then. I could see a rainbow getting a cardinal part in but not be able to ..eat it… now why/if/would have no idea - I keep...

always busy busy - water changes and all the cleanings - been on a nearly 2x per week water change on all tanks again mostly because I’ve had the time and some of the little corries are having barbell erosion .. nothing really wrong in the tank just adjusting to new substrate, as most came from...

Thanks as aways good info. They seem happy to be spread out - The platinum breeding male is the most stressed still but he got beat up twice so I’ll give him a few days.

Yes they are in a tank by themselves now. She was also treated in hospital before I tried to reintroduce … no argument from me on the lower the better - it’s so contradicting - I’ve recently read all sorts of stuff including that the 40+ is a bit misleading at best and most fish can deal with...

I probably over react - there was some fin rips but no actually wounds, both had inflamed fin joints thr scary part was the pinning in the corner looked like it could do some damage.…the poor platinum male was worse off after he went three rounds with the big black male one… I guess there was...

So I have a female zig zag that has been “sick” for several months now. She got a white patch near her tail and long story short after medicating tank then isolating her in a hospital tank used several treatments and she seemed to get better. I added her back to her home tank which had some...

Was yesterday but to exhausted to write lol. 5 hours of tank work. Breeding angels had enough so had to separate. Female went in with tetras in 40 gallon. Male had two moves - first to the 55 gallon that had other male …fight and new guy got worst of it, second to a 20 tall with the red...

Projected ended. last pair last attempt female never laid eggs, they could not seem to settle on a spot. Female began the fight but male finished it. i let it go for a couple days as it was just on and off and they were still resting together at night. 2 nights ago was non stop and he was...

Well the general population Plan failed. Scab got bigger and now spread to mouth and fill areas. As I already put her in the big tank and a male was showing early signs of similar - small patch of what looks like a wound, but not going away. I’ve pulled them both now and am going to try some...

Hiya ! Not sure how much advice I can, so I’ll as a few question and recommend emergency template I would fill that out in a new post. tank mates - beaten up you said by what possibly? all the parameters - something up in the chemistry and fins will not repair and may even be cause could be...

Enjoying a feed and watch day. So happy to find additional corydoras they are in between the tiny size 5 other SterbaiI and the full sized spotted that are still almost invisible. One schooled for a few minutes with the white skirts for about 10 mins im hoping that’s a sign they are getting...

What you looking at O was a mama and 4 fairly large juveniles
