I found them at an auction. I don’t know if any online stores sell them.

Because you had a betta in the 10g with the danios I think the betta might’ve killed the danios.

I would feed daphnia every three days for two weeks to see if that helps. I would also get him a filter. Even if having no filter is not directly causing the problem, it should help fix it by improving water quality.

I just finished a water change on my 13.5gal, halfway through the water change I let my dogs out and one of them caught a bird (R.I.P. :( ) so it was delayed for about 20 minutes while I was getting the bird away from my dog. The bird was alive when I took it away from my dog, but it passed very...

In saltwater the beneficial bacteria lives in the rock, so seeding it helps speed up the growth of the bacteria which reduces the wait time for adding fish. Some people even add them immediately if they use liferock. In freshwater I think the saltwater micro organisms would just die.

So, after crashing my SW tank I took it down and turned it into a Livebearer aquarium, but after awhile I started thinking about trying Caribsea liferock to replicate how my fluval evo looked before I changed it (although it’d probably be in a 40 gallon if I used liferock this time). I know that...

I let some of my crypts float. They don’t grow as much, but they can survive without being planted.

Ok so some things have changed since the last update. Another angel did die, but the remaining two are still healthy and eating. I think they might just have been too young or weak (genetic issue, maybe?) to deal with the infection. I haven’t lost any plecos and all of them are still eating. I...

IME it’s much harder to maintain a sw tank because all of the animals and corals are more sensitive than freshwater fish (even the hardier sw fish still can be hard) so keep that in mind if you end up doing it. If you do end up doing it you should also get live rock to speed up the cycle.

A201 keeps African cichlids and might know what they are

As long as it’s working fine there shouldn’t be any issues, although if it malfunctions it will overheat faster than a 50w so I’d test it in a bucket for a day or two to make sure it’s working.

I would give the female 3 gallons of space and the male two gallons. IME females are more active in general and need a bit more space than males. Although if you have a plakat male I’d just divide the 5g in half and give them each 2.5 gallons.

The medium grade works fine for my corys, snails, and other bottom dwellers. All my plecos do fine on it too. I think the rabbit snails would do fine on it. I also have some really healthy plants growing in it.

Because the trauma of jumping out of the tank made the issue start showing up in a way you can see it, instead of just internally.

I think the too small tank is indirectly causing the problem. With such a big, messy fish in a 15 gallon there’s a lot of waste in there that pollutes the water. I think that the affects of the pollution is only just starting to show up because of the trauma, but I think this might’ve been...

Then I’d add fenbendazole to the qt tank. I misunderstood, I thought you had gotten fenbendazole food.

Did the instructions say to remove the levamisole after the first treatment is over? I usually keep it in there for a bit even after the treatment is over, to help the badly infected fish get all the worms out of them. If you can get the ram in qt to eat any food then there’s a chance he’ll eat...

I’ve used levamisole on extremely heavily infected fish before and after the second dose I've never seen any that still have worms. Fenbendazole food can be good, but it won’t kill all the worms if some fish don’t eat. I’m not sure if all of your fish are still eating, but if they’re not then I...

If the fish are doing fine then I’d assume they’re gone. Unless fish start randomly dying I doubt there are any worms still alive.

It was torn down. :( I had an issue with ammonia that ultimately led to the tank crashing. The amount of algae in it was almost crazy. I was removing it every day and it still just wasn’t working, so I ended up converting it to a FW aquarium that now has Livebearers in it. Here’s the new thread...
