I'm on my second round of antibiotics (Maracyn 1&2) for some kind of bacterial infection that my flame tetras have. I'm three days in on the five day course, and I see only slight improvement so far....

I actually had the rock in the pot with water and was getting ready to turn on the burner and some voice in the back of my brain reminded me to question this, and then I remembered that it's a bad...

Prime neutralizes the bleach that killed the bacteria.

Someone also recommended doing a 5x concentration of Prime in water and a good soak in that to eliminate any remaining chlorine from the bleach.

I just lost all new fish in my QT after what I'm assuming was columnaris. All died within 2 days after having been in for a week. Used seeded filter media, tested water daily and all levels were good...

I've been dealing with mild Ich in my tank, and panicked yesterday because my corys' gills were looking metallic/irridescent and I attributed this to possible Velvet. After researching, I learned...

Here's a video of the first one I found (near his gill): http://youtu.be/mz64HICeS24
And him twitching: http://youtu.be/poCHKv7-hnM

I have since found it on another cory, however the spot in the...

This is kind of a relief to hear! One thing I can say I have going for me if not the substrate is pretty good water: 0/0/<5 pH 7.6 KH 61 GH 161

I'll keep my eye on these little guys and if I see...

I would imagine after a period of rooting around, the sand will just "sift" down through the larger particles of the ecocomplete substrate. Not sure about this, but it seems like it would play out...

Planet Catfish is where I read about the substrate incompatibility. Now I'm concerned about my gang of four! :scry:

After all of the reading I've done about corys, and after deciding they were a good fit for my tank, and after adding some to my tank, I just today came across an article that says irregularly-shaped...

Heck- that sounds like something I should have come up with on my own. :ssmile: Not sure why I make fishkeeping harder in my head than it needs to be- thanks!

Any recommended HOBs?

I'm using a Fluval 206 on my 30 gallon, and the canister holds 2 big sponges in the prefilter. It's been cycled for a month (now at 0/0/5 with heavy planting) and the sponges are now a nice light...

I've noticed that my otherwise heathy-looking espei rasboras seem to always be pale when I first turn on the tank lights. Within 5 minutes they start to color up, and then after feeding they go back...
