It seems to be about the same size today and is flapping slightly so I think it may be a scab and he injured himself on a rock. Am getting stress guard tomorrow and feeding food soaked in garlic guard along with more frequent water changes. Hopefully I am on the right path.

Thanks. What about stress coat which I have? He is still eating but does seem to be hiding more but he was never the most outgoing fish. I will try to get some garlic guard. Really? It has progressed to the size of about a quarter in 5 days. I didn't think HITH progressed that quickly and was...

I just did a 60% water change. It seems to be slightly larger again today. It seems to almost have like a ring around it. How should I use garlic with the food? Something like Garlic guard or just soak the pellets in real garlic? I do have dr basseleers garlic pellets but but they are tiny. I...

Thank you for the response. I did indicate water only when changing but every few months I do sand vac the substrate. I also usually will hover over the substrate sucking it up. High nitrates are always an issue with this tank. I know I need to feed less but I feel like not everything is getting...

I have been trying to research but don't have an answer. A couple of days ago I saw a small scratch on the back of my chocolate cichlids head. Well, now today it is at least 2x the size. I can't determine if it is hole in the head as it doesn't seem, from research, that it progresses that...

So I just saw this praecox today. Any ideas and how do I treat it? I had another praecox a few weeks ago that developed something under his lip that seems to have healed by itself although now under his mouth is all black. Both fish are active and eating. Thanks.

So do you recommend doing a huge water change, cleaning everything in the tank, etc.? When I tore it down months ago I cleaned it with some vinegar but rinsed it well before I storing it for the last 6 months or so.

I don't have anuth No, I don't have anything like that. Besides the corner sponge filter and a fluval sea WaveMaker everything came from an established tank. It is in the kitchen but not near anywhere there would be sprays. I have 2 mystery snails that seem to be fine. I will keep testing and...

So, I was having bullying issues with my 2 m/f electric blue acaras in my 75 g. I moved them to a 29 gallon. I set up the tank with a cycled HOB filter and media, plants, rocks, Frtizyme 7 bottled bb, etc all from established tanks. They never seemed to be doing well and barely ate. They slowly...

I got 2 unbranded tadpoles from Petco to try in my outdoor pond. I gave them places to get out once they turned to frogs. I look every day but I've never seen them again. They were close to an inch so I don't think they would have been eaten.

So, I woke up this morning to 1 of my tapajos corkscrewing wildly through the tank. I tried to intervene and right him and he's seemed to be back upright and normal. I just went back and the poor thing is corkscrewing in a clay pot I have going around and around. I did a water change yesterday...

I would personally only do 2 fancies, with weekly 50% water changes and lots of filtration.

I kept 3 Tequila sunrise guppies from my outdoor pond and moved them inside while setting up a 32g Fluval flex for my black moor. All 3 turned out to be male and sometimes will fight or chase each other but not enough to cause damage. I assume they are brothers though and were raised together so...

I would test for ammonia first. You probably have no nitrites because the ammonia hasn't converted yet. I don't really trust the bottled bacteria and have had bad results with it. I will only use it when I am starting up a new tank while also using seeded media from another cycled tank. Also...

I got my black moor at about an inch from Petco in June. He's just about 6"after being in the pond over the summer and moved indoors to his permanent aquarium. He is my favorite fish by far and I have 8 tanks and 2 ponds.

Mine did it too. If you look I bet you will see little fishies. Unfortunately mine only lasted a few days. Either died or other fish got them.

I have anacharis, a big dwarf lily, and anubias and my goldfish don't bother them at all. The 45 is fine for 3 fancies just do weekly maintenance and water changes. Don't overfeed. OursideFood-Do you trim the leaves at the top? I tried to trim half on my other plant as the floating at the top...

Tazawa tanks just did a great video on this where he used a takeout food container and a small piece of airline.

I have both but prefer Aqueon. They seem better made. Plus I can never find glass lids that fit the Top fin whereas Aqueon makes a great glass lid for every size. I have 6 Aqueon, 1 top fin and 1 Marineland. All are doing great (knock on wood).
