Trying to figure out the dosage for these is a headache! I think I understand the calculation, but I'm nervous to just dump in that much without having someone double check. Also: I'm not chasing a pH, or doing this completely ignorant, so please be willing to explain so I can learn! Anyway...

I'm struggling to find the balance between too much current and dead spots in my bettas 10gal. It's a pretty new set up, so it still has some growing in to do. (The Aquaclear20 was run on my established 50gal community for a week before adding to this tank). But already I'm starting to...

Oh really, that's a good too know they'll likely be hardy. What temperature/ph etc do you run your water at? Just wanna make sure they would be comfortable with how I have it No aggression whatsoever between the betta and gouramis. They seem to at least respect each other, and spend some time...

Hi all, After losing almost all of my cpds to columnaris, I'm ready to think about restocking again. I think I'd like to avoid CPDs again, as I have suspicions two unchangeable things played a part in lowering their immune systems. 1. My water temperature varied over the winter as they're in...

I wouldn't do the honey gouramis in there, they are very peaceful fish and don't do well when they have to fight for their food/space. They are also very small compared to angelfish, but big enough to become targets

When one of my crays escaped, I made a water trap by melting a hole in the side of a plastic cup juuuust higher than it could reach from the bottom of the cup and filling it with water. Then make a little step up to it. I would put those everywhere

Wow beautiful photo lol

I know it wasn't meant to be rude, sorry I'm kind of emotional right now so I was just trying to say exactly what I was thinking which in hindsight probably won't help me conversate. I do appreciate the European bluntness on most days, but I'm a pretty sensitive soul so I can take it personally...

Imo it's not about how many fish can your filter handle. But will the fish be happy? Raspboros might be small, but they swim quite a bit. They need more space to spread out. Cories are happier in a bigger school as well, but you could probably get away with the cories only. I wouldn't add the...

Water changes won't wreck your cycle. The bacteria lives mostly in your filter. Did you transfer your old filter media into your new filter? That's the easiest way to start a new cycle in a new tank, often instantly. Do a big water change to get as much of the salt out as you can. Look up...

I ended up euthanizing him.. he's in a lot of clove oil right now, has been for about 20 minutes. Pretty sure it knocked him out right away. Do you know if the ethanol/alcohol at the end is necessary? I don't have either, I have some strawberry gin or 70% iso but that's about it. Hey I...

Do you really think there's nothing that can be done? I can't euthanize him. I stopped antibiotics. I did an epsom salt bath and added some epsom salt to his tank but that's it. I don't think the cause was parasitic. He's always had a weak immune system, possibly related to the tumors(?)...

Questions summarized at the bottom for the lazy. Flower had an external infection, possibly aeronomas, that I didn't treat properly, and it ended up getting under his scales. This picture is from April 6th. I've since managed to clear most of the external infection. He's been through about...

Flower my betta is chronically sick. Most recently, he's been having fin rot. Daily I use either merbromin, hydrogen peroxide watered down, or methylblue to swab off the rotted parts of fin. It appears as white cottony tufts, only on fin tips. There was what appeared to be white film growing on...

Glad we could help, all in a day's work. Good job team

Have you ever seen the red spot? I'm less worried about the fins cause they've been there so long, but thank you for confirming they're relatively normal and hopefully benign. I'm starting to think honey gouramis are almost as sickly as dwarf gouramis

Just noticed this little red dot on my honey's chin, right between her eye and where the gill slit begins Also, she's had these white dots on her tail since I got her about 8 months ago. Any cause for concern?

Are you soaking their food first? Also +1 on emergency template

I'm also in Canada and I just want to drop that if you search for aqua tronics, you'll find a website that exclusively sells them (they are very high quality meds, more pure with good instructions) out of Oregon. They ship to Canada

Is your tank cycled? They will hide to protect themselves from toxins in the water, or sometimes just to rest
