This is more anecdotal, probably untrue but sadly amusing. Most of my fish, all cichlids, from the first few I brought in are now in color, and for the most part, doing well. My fish are a mix, same...

Thank you to everyone who has been helping me through this fungal/bacterial mess of the past couple months. I apologize for not answering the responses to my posts. Ongoing illness has really sucked,...

This is becoming really frustrating. My cichlids and petricat have now gone through several treatments for ich, and when that did not help, I treated them with an API powdered medication for "body...

I have ordered Apifuon 2. It seemed to be safer than some of them. I would not bother with natural herbal things now. I don't think they have time.

There is a reason why t.... minus t =rump. Now, this is a tropical fish forum, not one on burros.

I have spent the last two hours going through online photos of fish diseases, scale and skin infections etc. etc. Everytime I find something that remotely resembles my fish's lesions, other photos of...

If you dug your president up after a year in the ground, he would still be better looking than ours.

Whatever this is, it is multiplying very quickly. I looked at my polit today and they were all over his body. I use him as a gauge since his lesions started on his head and were easily seen against...

Ours is sane. A sane two year old prone to tantrums!

After the mess with the slime bacteria, I realized I had to have a backup filter. The two I had before the fluval 306 had been contaminated by the slime, and though I know they have been scrubbed...

Don't laugh, but I am severely computer illiterate. I have no idea how to link you to another site. Until about 10 years ago, I had never even touched a computer. And then only web surfing and email....

Has anyone used the fluval fx6 for a tank under 50 gallons?
The filter is supposed to move 900 gallons per hour at its top setting, and was made for tanks up to 400 gallons. I have 9 cichlids and...

My idiot demasoni has started up again. I wish they made little collars that would prevent them from tail nipping. I may see if I can find a smaller tank and depending on its size, move the demasoni...

I don't have the means to get a picture online. I can describe them better though. First the meds. ich attack natural herb treatment for three weeks, the Haikari ich x same, three weeks (I went back...

I thought I would put a new search out for ich medications. What started as a couple of small lesions on one fish has spread to lesions on all of my fish. My petricat may also have them, but his...

The ich has gotten out of control. There was no improvement in the lesions with Kordon ich-attack after three weeks. I went back and looked for something else that would be safe, especially for my...

Dork that I was, I purchased a 40 gallon acrylic tank. At the time, I was going to get small schools, neon tetras, that sort. The tank was up and running for a bit when I realized the best fit for...

All helpful answers, thanks. The salt is something I see both pros and cons for depending on the writer or youtube presentation. Not having used it before, it was hard to decide which way to go.

My cichlid tank is made up of a number of species, no two alike and mainly males. They are all about the same age, and have worked out 99% of territorial issues.

I have a male demasoni and a male...

Finally. My tank is cycled, the fish are happy. Then, a little over a82 week ago, my polit developed what looked like a small scrape on the top of his head. I notated it in my aquarium log, and...

It was some kind of mucoid bacteria. I have never seen a bacteria take over that fast. They probably had taken over leaving no chance for BB. In less than a week if went from having been rinsed and...

Two or three months ago, I noticed one of my fish occasionally
rubbing its gills on the rocks. At the time, I was fighting a serious bacterial problem, and made a note to watch the behavior.

In...

The algae is just the typical brown stuff. The fish all graze on it during the day, and seems like a good addition to their diet. They also get to partake in a natural behavior. I do remove it from...

The tank is now growing algae, but is no longer growing slime. I'm getting used to dealing with the sand. I can't find a size on the bag, and its pretty small. I would have gotten 20, but my house...

Not being familiar with fish breeding, I wanted to run this by everyone to see if I'm nuts.

My cichlid tank has only one of any species of cichlid I wanted.
Although I tried to get all males,...
