I've had problem after problem with my guppies. I've lost a lot of fish recently... It starts with slowing down, clamping up the fins/tail a bit, fin and tail rot and eventually death. I am keeping...

Wanted to add, this problem has been going on for a while. I tried maracide, them quick cure and most recently salt treatment... I didn't know it could take so long, I guess I was hoping to see a...

Thank you for the replies. I will get you current water params but I try to keep it as close to zero as possible (usually 0 for ammonia and nitrites). I do have a problem with high nitrAtes coming...

I posted something about the goings-on in my female guppy tank but the thread seems to have died. The fish are still sick. They have white salt-like deposits on their fins, tails and a couple have...

Well I've never seen anything like this. All but 2 fish in that tank are showing either signs of Ich, or have rotting fins and tails (with white cottony stuff where it is rotting away). I have no...

I started Maracyn 2 quite a while ago. Put back carbon... then about a week later is when I started to see the ich, so I tried Maracide. Didn't TOUCH it. Almost 100% water change then I tried...

Thank you kindly for the replies. So are this point you are both suggesting keeping on top of water quality (daily water changes) and no medication to help the current fin/tail rot and perhaps some...

I'm completely stumped and frustrated. I have a "female" guppy tank, with about 10 female guppies and 3 platys I have a breeder box with some fry in it as well. (Its a 29 gallon, completely cycled,...

I will get water params when I get home. I honestly haven't checked it in a while because it's been looking good. Will post shortly. Thanks!

Thank you, Cliff! I am assuming since I don't see anything on anyone else at the moment that I should remove and just treat her? I will try and get some paragaurd to have on hand, but I have some...

I'm not sure if you can see anything in these photos... I can see it because I know what I'm looking for. Does this look like mouth fungus? Her bottom lip appears kind of swollen and fuzzy, and...

Thanks guys. How long should I boil it for? I'll remove the slate, just so it makes it easier to find a pot to fit it ;). Thanks!

Hello! I purchased a hollow wood log on eBay that was advertised for aquarium use, it is mounted on slate. I assumed it would be safe, so I started to rinse it off and it has a VERY strong smell to...

I thought I did read instructions on the first one I did... I'm a little ADD so I don't remember it (blush) I will check out the YouTube videos. Only the one jäger is iffy though, the other two are...

Thanks for the replies! Interesting thought, I do tend to leave my lids open during the day... I don't know why I guess I feel like they have more air that way! Might be a good idea to keep them...

I thought I made a post on this a few days ago but apparently it didn't post. Does anyone have suggestions for heaters that actually WORK? I have 4 tanks running right now. 1 heater seems to be...

Wanted to add I'm relatively new to fish keeping, but I'm trying to do the best I can by them. I'm pretty close to giving up however as I seem to have problem after problem. Maybe I'm not cut out...

I just assumed it was worth a try, I don't know everything I was reading said flashing was indicative of ich even without spots. The tank was cycled.

I don't believe I did anything different prior to them starting this. They've been in this tank I want to say a month to a month and a half...the first fish started flashing I'm going to say 2 weeks...

I did remove the carbon filters... My ammonia is reading 0?

That is what I've gathered, but I don't see anything outwardly obvious on the fish... I will have to take an extra close look at everyone...

Well my whole tank seems to be rubbing against things, rocks, plants, etc. I've been treating for ich for about a week and the behavior has not even let up a little bit. I do not see white spots,...

Thanks for the replies. I'm pretty sure cories nor adfs can handle salt so looks like I'll be moving them out for treatment. I'm sure the cories can get ich though so I'm wondering how I should...

Is it possibly to administer any ich treatment with dwarf frogs and cories in the tank? I have a 30 gal with a few guppies, a dwarf gourami, a female betta, 2 african dwarf frogs and 3 pygmy cories....

Thanks for both replies! I have a separate tank but it is not cycled. Will this be ok if I do daily or 2x water changes.

I apologize for not making myself clear, I do in fact have the liquid...
