What Did You do With Your Tank Today?

[Rokuzachi]

Third day of treatment (Furan-2 + Kanaplex) for a columnaris outbreak in my DT that was entirely my fault - wasn't careful enough with my equipment and contaminated it due to a pair of new fish that succumbed to it two days after purchase. Four of my old fish showed signs of it within a day of when I suspect I contaminated the tank. So I've been shuffling fish around between bins, dosing meds, and doing close inspections of everyone involved.

Old fancy goldfish - the rapid deterioration of his fins has stopped and the inflamation around his scales/gills has gone down.

Female hoplo #1 - Large legion on her side has stopped growing and is healing.

Female hoplo #2 - Adipose fin decay has stopped.

Female hoplo #3 - The worst afflicted, lost all four barbels within 24 hours and passed away in quarantine earlier today.

4 other hoplos, black moor, ranchu goldfish - No signs of illness yet. Behavior is normal.

On the upside of things, I was forced to run out and buy two new aquariums to house a shipment of new fish that I had ordered over the weekend before disaster struck. I used up all my sterilite bins and buckets and my QT for sick fish, so I was out of space for the new guys, so I got to set up a 29 and 10 gallon

Here they are in quarantine;

So just remember folks, always quarantine new fish and be extremely careful with your shared equipment - I was disease free in my big tank for almost 2 years, and the moment I became lax in my practices, I had a disaster on my hands.

My quarantine tank is ready, so I went and bought myself two peppered corys, and two bronze corys and they're swimming around in there now. I've got two bronze corys in my big tank- did not realise they needed friends so I hope they'll appreciate the company when these little guys come out of quarantine.

The new ones are so small! So teeny tiny. I'm still clumsy at this, and hope I did not stress them out too much in transit, or with acclimatising them to the new tank water.

Also got a new piece of driftwood which is boiling on my stove. Going to look nice in the tank!

You should get rid ich + by kordon, its the best and works like a charm! You can get it from petsmart for 7$ for a 8oz bottle.

Starting to convert my aqueon quiet flow HOB into an aquaclear. Earlier today i picked up a big pack of bonded filter pads from petco for only 8$! This will last me a few months for sure!

I might If I need more which I doubt I will cuz my bottle has enough for treatment for both tanks . I was afraid to try it cuz it looked cheap and like an off brand

Stripped a female lab and got 22 fry. I did a WC before I did that. And I need to do more cleaning on my tanks.

Replaced filter catridge with plain bonded filter pads so that the carbon does not suck up the meds i have dosed into my tank.

Just now added 1 silver lyretail molly, 3 green corys, 2 black mystery snails and 10 ghost shrimp.

The Corys, snails and shrimp are all new to me so Im hoping they fit in!
