I failed to check my uploaded video and when I did I noted that it was really shaky. In light of this I found a fish with similar symptoms and no reply yet on youtube and present this as a better...

Over the past couple of months I have been trying my hand at keeping Discus and during that time I have been having some troubles with my Bristlenose who had previously been breeding.

First I...

I have been taking care of a farlowella acus for a couple months now and I have noticed that he has slowly been taking on a darker color. The thought occurred to me that he might be trying to blend...

I have been reading up a bit about some ground cover plants that can do well in moderate to low light situations to fill in some of the patches of the tank that have been bare forever and I am...

update: after unsuccessfully dosing with Marcyn I, Maracyn II, and Maroxy and spending ~$100 on those treatments I started to give up, figuring it was probably something that was genetic and nothing...

hmm...never seen an orange growth on any of my fish, however you might want to read up on Lymphocystis as this best fits your description. My recent readings on fish disease and fungus would suggest...

So I don't know too much about long term keeping these fish in a 150G I remember in my aquaculture class we raised 2,000 fingerling fry(blue cats) to juvenile stage in the span of 2 years in 5 large...

decomposing plant matter would possibly cause a spike in your pH and might lead to higher levels of nitrate as it is no longer being consumed in the quantities it once was...although to my knowledge...

I have been watching a female bronze cory for some time because I noticed she had a white to off-white mass on the back of her adipose fin. This mass appeared to enlarge when she was ready to lay...

yep that sounds like them, now if only I could find someone who would ship eggs instead of live adults...guess its back to aquabid for me.

so I am debating trying to raise some killi fish and I was looking for something that would be a brilliant coloration, in my searches I have found that one of the more colorful is the Fundulopanchax...

I had a similar problem with my ph a while back, if this is the thing that caused the fish to pass then the solution might be as simple as adding a buffering agent to your fishtank. Any idea where...

thanks for the quick reply tori. On my last water change my hot water heater went out so I had to bring the water up to temp using the stove, basically what I did to prevent me having to heat up 20...

one of my glass cats has started swimming funny and after closer inspection I noticed that there were multiple small clear bubbles about 1/2 cm to 1cm in length running half the length of its body...

yeah, the different colorations should breed, most of these are selected and inbreed to produce the effect so they are likely cousins/siblings or otherwise related, not sure on different species. I...

korith- any suggestions on retailers?

I found two sources: http://www3.shopping.com/All-Glass-20L-29-Gallon-All-Glass-Versa-Top-Glass-Canopy-30-20L29-Black/info ...

I noticed on my 29 gallon tank that I lose about a half a gallon of water a week due to evaporation rates and the fact that I dont have a hood on the tank. After a little thinking the 3 ideas that...

So I am thinking it might have been the fact that I had an 18watt bulb for a 29 gallon tank, or the lack of Co2 but I wanted a second opinion to make sure.

basically the plants in the tank were...

hmm...these little critters have been hanging around still even after reducing the feeding but nothing looks like they are being affected by them.

Today I decided to give the exposed portions of...

I have never had an actual number put to them but have always been told that the bio-load of these cats is "small" some local fish stores(LFSs) here have said it was comparable to two neon...

every site that had information about ghost catfish always had a disclaimer that if you kept less than two you would have a very sickly catfish on your hands...I haven't tried it because of that fact...

when something isnt right in the tank I have noticed that my ghost cats will have this happen...what are your water parameters? Also how many ghost catfish do you have in the tank with him/her?

an update:
so the two new ghost catfish appeared to lure the loner out every once in a while and one of the new additions actually took to hidding under the log with the other one.

So all was...

ok so I am a little more at ease about the whole situation. I decided to wake up before the lights came on in the tank and when I turned them on I noticed several worms similar to the ones in the...

hmm...the ghost catfish appeared normal, two secluded themselves from the other 4 under a piece of bogwood I had and wouldn't venture out for the longest. They did come out after I re-arranged the...
