I don't know exactly what it was, but it looked like a blob, white, big... i coudln't bring my self to take a picture...

Thanks to all that offered help. I'm sorry to say that this morning Rey Rey was no more. Perhaps it was dropsy after all. Last night something pop on top of his head and this morning he was laying at...

Or it might be pulling air from an air stone?

All in all, it seems to go down to air... make sure there's no air in it...

I see what you mean now... I'll check the area as soon as I get back home. What is the typicall life expectation if this were dropsy? he has been like this for a little over a week now (10 days,...

Thanks Sharon, Mvjnz, Slow Cheetah and korith...
This will be my course of action, for the moment, ray-ray is in a separate small tank, I will fast him for 4 more days (he's been there since...

Now that he is in the tiny tank I can get a really close look and they still don´t look raised to me. How long would he live with dropsy? I don't want to make him suffer unnecessarily but I also...

Thanks Mvjnz,
the scales look flat over the skin, not raisd. and from the top I can't see the edges. Would a tumor grow from nothing to that in less than a week? I still think he is constipated, he...

Ups!, I'm a sucker too. I haven't been doint this for a long time but I've done it like that since the start... I guess, I've done it with so many other liquids that this shouldn't be a problem....

Thanks korith, I´ve tried peas several times and they won´t eat them... I've given up on that...

If anyone can think of anything else, please let me know...

Here´s a picture so you know what I'm dealing with!

Hi All,

I'm having a litle trouble with my betta, he lives in a 15 Gallon tank with some tank mates, 2 corys and now 3 (out of 11) neon tetras.

Some neons died to ich, some simply died (I'm...

Thanks for this very detailed DIY... I'm definitelly giving it a try!

There's something about neons and heat/salt treatment

I also started with heat/salt with my neons, and I kept at it for about a month, and all along 3 or 4 neons had spots, all along. Granted,...

Again, thanks a lot Hobbs,

I called my LFS and it seems that the best they have is Jungle Ick Guard, is this safe for the hald dose on the corys?

many many thanks !!

Sounds like a good plan... I should lower temp's back and stop replenishing salt right? I typically have my tank at 78-79°...

And, also, the betta will be OK with full dose right?

thanks a...

Thanks Hobbs, I'l star treating... I'll see what I can get that works with half doses, the market in Mexico isn't as complete as I could hope....



Is this stress due to the water having salt...

Hello all!

So it's been almost 4 weeks now since I started treating and things look pretty much the same. I have had the temperature at 83° for all this time, I have added 1T per 5 Gallons of...

Got it !, and will do!

Thanks to both!

That's what I've been thinking of doing... (the sponge thing) I read in another post that using two layers of sponge and changing one at a time is a good solution for HOB filters.

Yea, that's all...

Up until now I have been carefull to change my filter media two or three days after a water change, for some reason, I never do it on the same day.

Part of the reason is that after scrubbing the...

I'm new to the hobby as well but I can tell you that my take on the subject was a little bit different, it doesn't seem like you have the right attitude...

The solution for your problem is:
As...

Which is today's case as Lady Hobbs is homebound with snow and ice... LOL

How do you add it?

I allways need to know why! otherwise I'm not comfortable just doing things b/c it says so in the package! but that's just me! :sbiggrin:

Maybe you should start looking for the pure solid sodium...

I love math!!

Here's some more research:
-It appears that the maximum level at which fish show no measurable harmfull effect is 0.02 mg/L.
-City administration typically targets for 1.5-2.0...
