Ok I was checking out my Convict Cichlid tank today to find two of my Convict Cichlids are very ill. I recently did a water change and some filter maintenance. I have a Fluval canister filter, which I changed the carbon and also some filter pads. I just did a strip test and these are the...

My OT tank is 10 gallons. I set up the tank with 25% of the main tanks water and the remaining 75% was tap water. I treated the water with prime, stress coat, beneficial bacteria and aquarium salt. I had it setup about 45min before I put my fish in there. The tank does have a filter, heater and...

I do have Methlyene Blue and I also have Furan-2. How much should I dose with the blue? And it looks thick cotton fuzzy, that fin barely moves.

Hello all, I recently treated my Cichlid tank for ICH. I used one of the methods described in the forum which was a salt treatment over 14 days with raising the heat to about 84-85F and doing daily water changes. I did notice that the fish in question had some white stuff around his fin but now...

Ok, I trimmed the plants and added the Flourish Comprehensive. I will keep you posted. Thanks again John.

As requested...

Hey Mike, I recently acquired an Eheim 2213 filter from a sweet deal and it's working wonders for my tank. I'll upload a few shots so you can see how the previous owner had this modified to work with the tank. I hope this helps. Also, I found a lot of replacement parts available thru Amazon. I...

Thanks John. I will be looking to pick some up tomorrow. Now how soon should I expect to see a turnaround?

Thanks for having me. By the way, I checked out your tank and it is freaking awesome and inspiring. I look forward to gaining a lot of insight her and sharing what I learn and know with others. Thanks again for having me!

Thanks again, Tony. 2 for 2. I just looked it up across several websites and compared photos and your correct. Thanks!

Tony, You hit the nail dead on the head! Thanks. Now this has me thinking what type of pleco's I have in my tanks. I'm going to posts all 3 pics if you can take a look at them that would be swell.

Hello Greta1981, Thanks for the welcoming mat but where are the cookies? ;) I'll post some pics to this posts with my pleco's and maybe you can give me some more insight about these guys because there all different types of pleco's. Thanks!

Hey John2.0 The previous owner never mentioned anything extra about the plants, so I'm going to take a strong assumption he didn't use fertilizer, so I didn't think of getting any. Although, with reading around a bit, I've seen some differing opinions about fertilizers and CO2 injections and...

Hello everyone, The name is Jose and I'm new to the hobby. I recently came across some sweet deals and was able to capitalize on 2 46 gallon bow fronts! In one tank, I have the following: Tank#1 1 46 gallon bowfront tank 1 204 fluval canister filter 1 Airflow 900 underwater 1 long aerator the...

Hey Khuligirl93, I looked up loaches and I found the closest species that resemble the fish I have is a "Stone Loach". Thanks to you and Cynic for pointing me in the right direction.
