Got it. Well I think you both answered my questions. Thank you!

Good point. I'll just run an additional small filter on my display tank. Man, I was just starting to feel good about my fish keeping abilities until this outbreak.

So according to that Sticky, PreziPro and Metro would be a good preventative combo. What about Bacterial disease preventative ?

Backstory - If you don't care skip to the bottom :)
I'm getting better at this hobby, but I'm still new. I keep up with my 55 gallon Mbuna tank. Every week I do around a 30% water change at the end...

Your right LH, the test kit isn't old. I shook again and retested and it shows very light orange now, not yellow. I didn't look for the bubbles but I'll test tomorrow and see if I can see them. a few...

Hmm, Well I shook both bottles up and got the same results. When I was getting high results they were higher than I've ever seen. I'm wondering if the zync was all that was coming out before and...

I've cycled 4 tanks in the last 6 months with pure ammonia. I feel I understand the cycling process fairly well now. Ammonia > NitrItes > NitrAtes and the only thing that gets rid of NitrAtes are...

Actually the Bristlenose and Snail were in there the whole time. I want to move the BN to my 55 but it was in the 6 gallon when that parasite was there.

What would be the best method for telling the sex of these? I worried it will be difficult to get the correct ratio

Ha, yes, I put a calendar entry for today to remind me to revisit. so I just went back to the page with that date. Anyway, Yes I only treated once and before I treated I really sweeped the...

Right now I have a Fluval C4 and a Whisper 60. I want to replace the 60 with a cannister but I haven't yet.

Well, it's been 8 weeks, and after adding the PreziPro, I have not seen any other signs of this parasite. All the fish seem healthy. I would like to move my male BN into my 55 gallon, but I am a...

I'm thinking about stocking my 55 with Yellow Labs and Yellow Tailed Acei. Is this a good combination. If it is how many of each?

Currently my tanks holds the following. All will be re-homed...

Everyone, thanks for clearing that up thumbs2:

I've been using Prime to treat my water during water changes thanks to Lady Hobbs suggesting it a few months back. I use 5 gallon buckets and I use a cleaned out infant Advil syringe and put about 15...

Good advice. I have the fluval c4 intake up real high in a corner where fish can't kick up sand so I would like to replace the wisper 60 with a cannister and keep the fluval c4. Also, the plan is...

I got them at Cool Ponds & Rocks in Dunedin, FL coolponds.com . I looked at lowes and home depot and just couldn't find the look I was looking for. I asked my LFS where the best place to purchase...

Maybe the members here can help you if you tell them more about your setup. What kind of decor/substrate is in your tank. Maybe post of picture of your tank. Also, what is the hardness\ PH level of...

It's Silica Sand I got from a Koi Pond store. I grabbed 2 35 pound bags for about $7. I probably used 50lbs of it. I was surpised how dirty it was. It took a good 30 minutes of running a hose to...

Silicone turned out good, painters tape works magic!. Stripping the old silicone off completely took about 3.5 hours.

I perminetely moved the Rafael Catfish in my 37 gallon with my...

Well, recently my sister’s 55 gallon tank was up for grabs. It was purchased in 92 by my mother and my sister eventually got it and kept it the same. Anyway, her husband said it has to go. Getting...

Assuming you have a pair, and not two male or two female convicts. If you have two male you may be left with one fish anyway. I think it all depends with what you want out of your fish tank. Are...

Thanks, I think If the rest of my fish make it through this and 8 weeks goes by without any issues I'll move the BN to my 55 gallon and just get another snail for this one.

What about snails?

So how often do you do your maintenence treatments? I now have three tanks the 6, a tall 37 and a standard 55 and without a QT tank it seems that maintenance treatments may be a good conservative...
