There was a white spec on one of my rainbowfish and my ram was not looking too well so I called the store and kicked it up a notch with some proper meds and aquarium salt. Rid-ich plus was also used. Thanks for reassuring me. Current treatment is as follows - top fin natural herbal remedy for...

Well I gave him a salt bath last night and another one this morning. Did a 40% water change and added in treatment for the appropriate amount of water I pulled out. White thing isn't getting smaller. He still eats, swims well.

Its grown. I'm confident it's columnaris. Going to attempt salt bath tomorrow.

Haha all good

Yes i suspect this based on google searches and I am guessing it's very early on. Hopefully my treatment will clear it up in about 4 days? remaining hopeful. Water change tomorrow morning before retreating the water.

Quality gets better nearing the end of the video I have bacterial and fungal additive I will use but I'll need to remove the carbon from my filters first....will this crash my newly established tank? I don't have the means to quarantine the poor guy 8 rainbow fish 1 seems to have white on...

Thank you. Currently observing the unit as I bring it up 1° Edit: 25°c to 26°c success based on the sticker thermometer. I will use an electronic thermometer tommorow as a secondary check before i shoot for 27°c in 1 or 2 days. 28°c (82f) is the upper limit for the rainbowfish so this is going...

New heater coming today. Woohooo. I will start by going 1° higher an gradually bring it up over the next few days? I know temp hasn't been optimal but I still don't want to shock the tank Aside from this I think I see some while around wimpys mouth but am unclear if it's natural skin color or...

Well. As funny as it sounds I snuck up on them this morning and they were just sort of relaxing beside one another about 1/2" apart. Hopefully this keeps up and they just need to keep getting used to the new surroundings. Still waiting on an adjustable heater, even though they seem fine with...

Yes this is on the top of my list. Unfortunately this house is hit with covid this week so I've reached out to some people to see if i can get a delivery. Fortunately I've seen no issues with running it at the bare minimum temp. But I can see the value in running the temp a bit warmer. All my...

For anyone following along. I had some success today. They both ate and the boss didn't chase wimpy around. Here's to hoping tomorrow is just as good.

Could be misinformation about requiring low nitrates but I think I'll come to that conclusion over time. Thanks for the plant suggestions.

To answer one question above. After my fishless cycle my nitrates were a big ol 0. Ammonia and nitrite 0 as well. The tank cycled and the plants grew overnight soaking up nitrates I assume. Now I'm just dealing with trying to NOT do unnecessary changes hahaha. I worry because the German blue...

That just kind of brings up the question of how I hit 10 in 20hrs. But I'll chill out until morning lol.

So 10 nitrates in 20 hours is fine and another 16hrs should be perfectly OK.o_O .

Thank you. Pm me and I'll send some contact info so we can chat via reddit or another platform. I tend to feel like I NEED to do something. I also don't know a lot...like is 10 nitrate in 20hrs a lot?

So im just adding that info preemptively in case someone asks. I go straight from the tap to the tank after putting in the conditioner. My reason main reason for posting is that I have some anxiety about not doing a water change. It's only been 20hrs since my last change the Ammonia is staying...

Thanks. Ive been watching them a lot and nothing has changed. Feel free to weight in on my anxiety about my water changes ahaha. I have another post up for that.

20 hours after a 40% water change Ph 7.5 Ammonia .25 Nitrite .25 Nitrate 10 Tap water directly from the tap (in case someone is curious) Ph 7 Ammonia .25 Nitrite 0 but can read a weak .25 at times. Nitrate 0 Thoughts? I will add to this by saying I don't mind frequently changing the water...
