Got the one barb returned for a refund. So st this point I have 6 harlequin rasbora and the 8 golden barbs in the 38 gallon 36” long.

That is my plan, only debate is if I should get one more golden barb or just suck with 8.

Very cool! So you think 8 will be fine and just leave as is? Or attempt one more? I’m not really interested in getting more than 9.

I actually look forward to then getting bigger!

The rasbora are harlequins and I very much love them. The longer they are in the tank the more colorful they are. At this point the males are a very deep red.

I notice when the lights are dimmer...

I’d love to correct my typos in the first post but it won’t let me...try to read through my idiocracy...ha!

Hello all, got 9 gold barbs a while back and got them into the main tank(38 gallon long) a couple of weeks ago. Thus far I am thoroughly enjoying these. Good color good character and they get along...

Oh I don’t think I have it figured out. I don’t know what it is I just don’t think it’s columnaris. And it seems like not cleaning my sand enough might be a contributor I’m not sure if there is...

Also another thing I think it could be is skin flukes

The tank has been established for almost a year the cories are something I have had the entire time. Seems as though I’ve done a good job maintaining the rest of that tank I should have been cleaning...

Added the harlequin about 2 months ago.

I don’t think it’s columnaris I’ve had that before and i don’t have the white puffy patches on the skin.

Most I’ve ever had to go between water changes is 2 weeks 90% of the time it’s between 5...

It’s not blasting sand it is black sand I bought from the pet store.

He is about the same. I have just the 3 left out of 5. The one died with no leasions but his full area looked very red/almost bruised when I found him and he looked fine the day before. 2 of the 3 I...

I have a valve on my siphon so I can easily slow t to whatever rate I want it just still seems like I’m sucking sand sometimes. Probably worth it though.

It’s just another method I have seen is all so I thought I would try it.

Bump. Bump.

Also I put a plastic knife on the end of my siphon so that it sticks down into the sand and stirs it up as a vacuum. Didn’t really get much out of the sand still it seems pretty clean. Thoughts?

So I have another Cory that is getting more pale in colors than the others along with some of those lesions like the one picture posted of the other inky it also has it on his back fin. Just did 50%...

Bump, any thoughts as to what I have going on in the tank?

I have QTd before but I just honestly don’t feel like I have enough left in my display to really worry about it plus I have some danios in my QT that are real punks, that’s why I moved them out of...

Also...I should add that I was aware cories were sensitive to meds and that a half dose of some meds was required but usually they something about sensitive fish on the bottle of those meds, I didn’t...

Just checked ammonia and nitrates. Still holding steady with ammonia a definite 0 and nitrates around 5 or 10.

So...I came home today to another dead Cory. I’m at a bit of a loss on this one...the 4 that I had left seemed perfectly fine last night when I was watching them. All eating well and active. Too many...

It’s pretty much the same everywhere from what I notice.
