I currently have 3 Ghost Shrimp (Originally 5, I did drip acclimate for an hour.) in an 8.75g Shrimp Tank (Kit from Aqueon) along with 3 Male Guppies who get along quite well, as well as lots of Ramshorn Snails (I added them at the end of the cycle so it wouldn't crash while I was waiting to get...

That's really cool! I do the same but digitally when I aquascape a new tank, it helps feed a bit of the excitement as well as lets you pick the perfect area for everything and have a plan.

Not sure about swimming pattern, but you could do a school of Black or White Skirt Tetras, they do look a bit like Angelfish too, well according to at least my mother and father, but I also see it as well. the Black Skirts in my 20 gallon swim still like that sometimes, so smooth. They also get...

What kind of fish do you have? Some fish like certain flow rates, Fish that come from slow or very stagnant streams/water usually like low flow, but Fish that come from faster-moving streams/water usually like moderate to high flow.

From your picture looks pretty if not completely close to 5ppm. But all screens show color differently, best to read it under a daylight simulating lamp or in daylight itself.

Ah okay. Well your test kit is working properly if they are acting like that. Do you have another tank that is cycled or know someone with a cycled tank you can either take some media or transfer the fish to? Hopefully someone else will chime in with some more advice, I'm sure there are more...

I assume you use the API Freshwater Test Kit? If so, if you test the pH using the normal pH (Blue bottle) what does it come out to? Are your fish acting weird? If they aren't and you're getting test results with that high of Ammonia, your test kit could have expired (most of them do after a...

sorry.

If you went to the pet store and asked, you could probably leave with about 12 red tail catfishes.

With your pH, do you mean it swings from a 6.0 to 7.4 and vice versa? With 3 Platies in an established 10 gallon that has been running for 2 years must mean something has destroyed your cycle. Have you cleaned out your filter and/or filter media out recently?

I believe this is their contact page, with a box for the order number. To submit pictures, I assume you could upload them to an image hosting site, copy the link, and include it in your contact form message.

Bettas are really nosy fish, your snails might start standing up for themselves and he'll get his tail-fin handed to him.

I have never personally had it happen, LFS/Captive-bred Cories are used to being chased with a net and the like so they will most likely never secrete it, only in what they deem to be highly-stressful situations. Some have said it looks like a milky substance being released from them, looks like...

Oh wow, at least he was saved! My concern would be if there were any cleaning agents used in the toilet within the past week or so as well as the chlorine in the untreated toilet water. He should make it given enough time to settle down. Cory catfish will sometimes excrete a toxin when scared or...

I'm from Michigan and don't know if 'Wash' is some kind of Arizona term , But I assume it means it washed up on shore or something similar. The wood looks almost like Cholla wood but not exactly. Natural driftwood is usually safe to use as long as it's prepared properly to kill any...

Since we still don't know exactly why or what caused the multiple deaths. I wouldn't go ahead and do anything else or do anything drastic, such as adding medications or anything, let them stay in that 'Quarantine' tank for now and keep an eye on their behavior.

Thank you for the response and the posting of the test results. Very odd they're showing a sign of Ammonia poisoning yet no Ammonia, Red gills can also happen with Chlorine poisoning (If using tap water and conditioner, it's possible your local municipality has added more Chlorine for Water...

Where did you purchase the new female Guppies? It's possible they transferred a disease from the tank where they originally were held in. Were they acting weird before they started dying? Are the other fish acting weird?

Wow, that's some really bad luck there. I think all of us here have gone through some bad experiences. Now as for the Ick (Or Ich, I prefer 'Ick' ) There has to be a cause for it, this can be due to stress or more commonly a drastic change in temperature, for me, this was adding much warmer...

In September my 10-gallon community experienced disease and die-off due to Graphite disease, a strain of Columnaris. I lost 5 fish, a Zebra Danio, Male Betta, Male Guppy, and Two Cardinal Tetras. I first treated with Seachem ParaGuard until I found out that it wasn't parasitical, I then treated...
