I disagree on your theory of where and BBA exists. Where I live, BBA spores are in the water supply.

SAE's are the way to go. I have never had any BBA ever since I added SAE's. I tried flourish with minimal effect. SAE's have totally cleaned it up and it has not returned for over 12 months now.

Cliff, everyone mentions this trapping of co2 and burping etc, its got me miffed. Mine has maybe burped twice in the 12months that it has been goin. The filter isnt noisy nor is there trapped co2. I...

IMA.....plumb the co2 in to the eheim inlet, simple no fuss

I have given up on Pandas. Everytime I buy new ones they last a max of 2 weeks. The segregate from the others, look pale, swim weak, lie of their sides and then die. No issues with any other cory's...

purely depends on what fert you use. I use a weekly fert so it makes sense to add it when doing the water change.

Yeh I have that stuff too....I think its called pinklady.... as there undersides of the leaves have a pink tinge to em, particularly new growth

Yeh I think I might have to, no other choice

Well def not lice..... He is covered in the white crap today, still eating and happily playing around with the others.....wierd. The spots that have gone black appear to be fading as well :-&

A few of the older black marks do appear to fading. As yet there is still no sign of this thing on any other stock, I am starting to errr on the suggestion they may be wounds that are scabbing up. If...

Fish is behaving normally, as normal as the other red tail. No other stockshow any signs of the similar anomaly.

Scabs? hmmm the black marks look under the skin. I will try to take some more pics...

LOL thumbs2:

Glad to hear I am not the only one that cuts and throws a few dozen leaves out each week.

I just took a quick shot of my swords

Ok those original white spots/bump have disappeared but are now def under the skin as black dots. The fish still has new spots developing. It appears from once the white spots forms, 3 - 4 days after...

Swords...just love em.... Mine are now growing out through the surface of the water which is 24 inches deep :-) I had these swords in my smaller tank originally. When I set the new tank up I noticed...

The lights arnt due to come on for another 30mins. From what I can see though in the unlit tank....they are still there. I would have thought if it fungal the other stock would also show signs. I am...

I wouldnt say fury.... more like a a white cone shaped bump....like the ice cream on an ice cream cone I guess is the best way to describe it.

It looks like fungus, doesnt look like flukes and they disappear then reappear. His not acting oddly at all, eats, swims as normal

OK here is a betta shot of him

hmmmm... yeh watching him closely,,,... the way these lumps, bumps, lesions look, they remind me of hole in head. The white stuff appears then goes and all that left are holes. In this case no holes...

Yeh thats what I thought too, but never seen him having a rumble with the others. Where as the other red tail loves to rumble with the Bossies and Salmons.

For the last week or so one of my Red tail rainbows has been developing raised white marks. The marks appear to go go dark and at this time they appear to be under the skin....any ideas... None of my...

Very nicely layed out

Like everything in life there are always exceptions to the rules. One person can set up a tank with inadequate lighting, no co2, under filteration etc and have amazing plant growth. Another can do...

I do a swap and go at my local home brew shop
