Sorry to hear! I don’t have much experience with illnesses so hopefully someone else can add some insight to help your other one. By the way, How long have you had the fish?

If you click on the link in SouthAmericanCichlids post (or any of the words that attach to a hyperlink), it will take you to the care sheet. They are pretty easy fish that you can keep in the mid 70s to low 80s Edit: a paradise fish

I second paradise fish. I just lost mine :( she jumped out one night while we were asleep. BUT she was the coolest fish, always came to greet me, following me around and my kids too.

I ran a “cold water” tank with no heater and it was at most 2-3 degrees below room temp in winter and not any higher than room temp in summer

Thanks! Cories seem to be a favorite for many and I’ve never had them so they’re probably one of my top choices, plus the LFS always has a few options Ooooo! I like the idea of the lamb chop rasboras, my boy betta actually has a hint of orange on him and I’d love a bit more orange:) thanks for...

Another stocking thread— I have had this tank running about 9 months or so but am switching the stock up now in an effort to accommodate one of my bettas. I’m quite sure that the betta will not be aggressive as they have already done well previously with peaceful schooling fish and other tank...

I’m not an expert but my guess is female. They seem to have that thicker chest shape that I see in females. Hopefully (s)he settles in nice!

There’s a guy I follow on Instagram that does this in the LA area I believe. Let me know if you want his @

Do you have an air stone? They may (possibly) need more oxygen in the water. My fish were treading water at the surface and acting off but the airstone helped

Hopefully they will, really seems like they need to get some of the big ones out! They barely had room to turn around. At least they all seemed like peaceful fish

Yeah I always wonder if fish like this are taken care of for that reason.

At my kids new pediatrician’s...... Seems..crowded (Can’t even see the corys or the -at least- 3 huge catfish hiding behind the decoration) Tank shot

I’m sorry you’re going through this! I’m sure other members will have more suggestions than I do but I would try to get some prime and treat the tank volume first and use it for WCs as needed. It detoxifies ammonia so hopefully that will help the ammonia issue you’re having and hopefully keep...

Ordered from them 3 x in November-January time frame. Good experience for me. If you get a DOA, the customer service is good and quick. Fish all seemed healthy that made it to the tank.

I just got 12 neons, and they’re all still in QT. Fingers crossed! Mine are from a LFS but one I haven’t been to before so I hope they all make it. Is 5 weeks typically a good QT or is it because they had ich? Seems long but I’m impatient,...

This is awesome so many good tips. I haven’t tried glue again but haven’t really needed to either. My solution on this “ruined” wood was to turn it around and use rubber bands, which I still have on there because my java fern doesn’t look too “grown on” yet..?

That’s neat. I have a turkey baster already in my aquarium stand for watering plants so I’ll have to try that next time

Do you mean you use the turkey baster as the gravel vac or do you use it to start the siphon?

Mine ate all 3 RCS I put in. It was an expensive snack.

Oh okay. Wasn’t aware of the size, they’re about 1/2 that now and the store employee said they would not get much bigger (eye roll). I looked up care info but missed that i guess. I’ll contemplate this because I was really leaning towards moving the betta but could always leave her in her...
