Never use melafix on a betta. Hurts their labyrinth organ. I'm no expert on bettas. I've never had to deal with the illness you're dealing with. There are people on this site who can help. I know this may not help, but in the gurus tab are people who have lots of knowledge on these types of...

Indian Almond Leaves are usually sold for bettas. They will soften your water.

Just discovered this existed! Been dealing with some disease myself. Btw do you have any discus where their faces are a peach color and the rest are red. Those are my favorite!

YES, Finally. I found the febendazole thing in the unlikeliest of places. A site was selling febendazole for fish when their product picture had an Oto on the glass. I searched the web for the image only to find a guy saying he just nuked his tank. He said he had done it before and a lot of his...

MacZ you've had trouble with Otos in the past. Do you think they could withstand Febendazole.

I hate to bother you for one last time. Hope you're not too unhappy, but the tank also contains Otocinclus who are notorious for not tolerating medicines. Will this have any side effects for them?

Thank you so much richiep I've gotten it done. The treatment is just starting, but I'll monitor for 48 hours. In your post it says to redose. I'm a bit confused about when to redose. Anyways I'll monitor for the 48 hours. If you reply then with even more dumbed down instructions I'll try to...

Got it thanks so much! I hope your day is phenomenal!

Got it. I'll probably have everything ready, by the latest, tomorrow. Just praying that things don't go south before then. I've got a nerite I want to save. Will this affect fish? I closely monitor the ammonia levels. Should I have more then one test a day? I've got a water change today, so...

Definitely got it. Do you have an exact dosage and water change amount per day. Could you also give me the names of some shrimpers on this site. The more opinions the merrier. Catappa I'm glad your feeling better. Green Neon Tetra's have always been a dream fish, but the very acidic water they...

lots of plants is always white for me.

I've spotted some planaria. I had a tank crash (luckily had no deaths), but this lead to an influx in planaria. During the crash nothing would eat my offerings. I may have a dead fish since I haven't seen it in a while, but I have an almost perfect view, so the only other thing would be being...

Thanks a lot. I think this is definitely true. I upped the amount of food I was adding which was not the smartest move. The problem is already solved. I've always kept the amount of food available to 2 zuchinni slices every other day. The days in between I'd always feed soilent green. The 2...

If you want to give them some high quality food then give them some Repashy soilent green. This is specially made for Aufwuchs grazers and is a favorite of many fish who aren't Otos.

Instead of hoping that enough algae grows. It may be best to feed zuchinni and algae wafers.

I took the risk of because my ammonia was at 0.25 ppm. Other wise I would only really do a 30% water change weekly. I tried feeding them and they just won't devour my offerings. The older females are the only ones I've found to feed on what I give them now. I think I'll keep things going like...

What is the water volume of the tank? 10 gallons How long has the tank been running? a year Does it have a filter? yes Does it have a heater? yes What is the water temperature? 74 to 73 What is the entire stocking of this tank? (Please list all fish and inverts.) 2 Otos and shrimp Maintenance...

Aftermath: I added some Jungle Val and Cryptocryne Wenditii Green. My java moss hasn't been doing too well and losing the battle to algae. I never have high ammonia, but I've got hair algae. I had a hair algae infestation for a while, but growth has stopped. I'm replacing my java moss which will...

Welcome. The tank looks perfect!

Then get a different algae eater. I keep my nerites safe by laying plastic wrap over my openings. Aqua huna sells amano shrimp. They can also be escape artists however. I mean this in the nicest way possible, but it would be best to steer clear of Otos as listed above. I don't think they are the...
