That is only if they hatch, correct? And thanks for the response!! Jo

Hi, I have a discuss who just laid eggs 2 days ago. She and the male have been gurading the eggs. My question is that the eggs typically hatch in 3 days and then the babies feed off the slime of the mom for the first 5 days, right? I have a 100 gal tank with other fish - 6 discus, rummys...

New Dilemma that that I am certain is not ich - been there done that and cured it! My large white discus that I've had for over a year and has been very healthy looked like one of the other fish had actually nibbled at his tail fin about 6-8 weeks ago. Amazingily, 2 weeks ago I looked in the...

Using Prime

Now that was a great thought because I actually just took the air stone out about six weeks ago after an ich outbreak. Now I just have a UV filtration system (sorry, forgot to mention that as well!) Any other thoughts?

Hi, I have a 110 gallon freshwater tank with discus, tetras, serpaes, otos, clown loach and live plants. All of the chmicals are fine, the ph is 6.8 and the temp is about 80 degrees. I do a water change twice weekly of about 50%. I feed twice daily. In the past few weeks there has been a bubbly...

Hi, I was using a Nano Cube 6g tank to quarantine samll tetras, etc. They had ich and died :banghead: What is the best way to sterilize this tank before using it again as a quarantine tank? Thanks!

So finally the ich is gone and has been for at least 3-4 days and all fish survived, temp has been at 86-88 for a week. We also have UV filtration that has been going for a week as well. Haven't added additional salt in 2 days. Still doing daily water changes.The plants are doing OK, but some...

OK - at 84 degrees now so I'll just keep hanging in there and raise it 2 more degrees slowly. Thanks for the advise.

Hi, My tank is about 2 years old and have never had this problem before. Tank is cycled and has plants.Added some high fin tetras about a month ago and didn't quarantine them - that will never happen again! Learned the hard way. Right now adding 1 tsp aquarium salt for every 10 gallons but by...

I'm treating my freshwater fish (discus, higfin tetras, otos, clown loach, plecos) by increasing the temp slowly and adding aquarium salt slowly. I think I may have noticed that one of the discus looks a bit swollen (hopefully it's my imagination, but I have a hunch it may not be). Do you think...
