By transfer some media, do you need old filter pads or just gunk from washing out other filters? Thanks so much for replying to me. I think that I probably always had bacteria since I added the...

I've read all the cycling information. I had plain dechlorinated water in the tank for several weeks. No live plants or anything. Plenty of aeration. I bought Dr. Tim's Ammonium Chloride and...

My tanks got somewhat out of whack when I was battling ick, first in one, then the other. I had to transfer some loaches out temporarily to a small aquarium. The heat/salt worked. Now, however,...

nice idea--I'm an artist by training---I could draw any background and have the paper size to do it---how would you fasten it to the tank back? Thanks again!thumbs2:

I had no choice for position of my large tank. Is there anything I can put in with my Oscar to help with the algae? I do clean it and tried putting a snail in--ho ho--and straight out again because...

Does anyone out there have a ph meter? I find myself testing for ph because it verges on hi in my area so I got a meter but am afraid of it!lol! I got an HM digital ph meter which also does...

I want to thank everyone who has replied to my posts. I have learned a lot here and your collective advice has helped immensely. I had aquariums years ago when cycling and tank sizes were not...

So you use just pellets? Also, is there anything I can put in with him at all that would possibly get along with him? Thanks again---Shirley

It is a new 15 gal aqueon column tank with a small aqueon filter---I am new to cycling and newly back to aquariums; although I've had aquariums for 40+ years they didn't talk cycling in the old days...

He quit going for the large pellets after he tasted the fish a couple of times. He will eat sprinkles of small pellets sometimes. I think the spots are just spots, like you said. I just cleaned...

I have had a terrible battle with ich---3 clown loaches--the only fish that visibly had it. I treated the tank with that Quick Cure from Walmart and the next day my dojo was lying on his back. I...

Hi--I have treated the water and prepared the tank. I have never done fishless cycling and didn't understand cycling at all (still don't) completely before I found this site. I have the API master...

My Oscar Buddy used to love the Hitari premium and standard pellets. That is until I started giving him little bits of raw tilapia which I cut in small piece, then freeze and thaw as needed. My...

I had 3 clown loaches (babies). They had what looked like ick. I treated them with quik cure for ick. On day two my dojo loach was upside down on his back----he's still recovering. I moved...

Thanks --how much of a change? for a 1 gal tank? Also-believe it or not, the clowns still have ich. I can't go the saltwater route because we can't stay home. So today late I use a remedy that had...

Would anything like Pimafix or Melafix help the upside down problem? I did order the Prazi pro but will be a few days getting here. Thanks

It was a former filter----I am in a small town so would not be able to get Prazi-Pro but could order it. The poor little thing keeps flipping onto his back--it's like swim bladder or something? He...

I think I lost my post somewhere but I'll try again. I found a HOB filter for the 1 gallon tank ( for 5-15 gal )and the little dojo seems to be a little better. We have to go out of town tomorrow...

Thanks so much for all your help--will do just that--sounds like he needs a break--just use the regular dosage of prime?

Please Help--this is day 3 and he is still alive--now I need to know what else I can do! My 3 clown loaches had ich--there are plecos, an algae eater, and snails in there as well. Everyone is still...

I posted yesterday but can't find my post? To see if there were any answers. My three clown loaches all had ich so I treated the tank---would that have killed my dojo? I treated it for 2 days and...

I just realized my 3 little clown loaches have ick----someone told me tetra dissolving tablets for ick were safe with all fix..I have plecos, a raphael, algae eater, and dojo loach in there---can I...

Well, the photo saga continues. I have no pictures in any album to edit! I also looked on the member list under "materbona" and I am not a member???? I tried posting in the cichlid area there but I...

I just tried to load My Oscar Buddy under photo gallery under menu on the left. Once I created an album "Pets" and once I posted under "Cichlids"--- in the member gallery. No pictures anywhere? It...

Is there any way to create an album here? I am having trouble posting pictures anywhere (I have also tried an oscar forum and had no success)....I can get them to facebook with no problems. I am...
