Good luck in your new ventures. I understand how you feel....I am new at this and already have 4 tanks...that's a lot of upkeep. However, I am retired, so have more time for it. Take care.

Dwarf Gourami #2 - Died this morning The second female died this morning. She went faster than the other one. I was thinking of eauphanizing(sp?) her today, but she went on her own. The other female and male are not getting any better. They are slowly showing more symptoms. I have been...

Attached are 3 pix of Minnie (or could it be Mickey who managed to crawl out of the tank and fall on the floor. The shell is cracked all way around near where her leg comes out. Thought she was dead, but she revived. Don't know if you can see the crack in the pix but is definitely there. Will...

Sick dg How does the clove oil work and where do u get it? My poor dg suffered way too long. Thing is she looked improved one day and worse the next so I kept hoping, and she died a slow death. Awful. I got a 30 g tank and put the other three in it. I am treating with melafix and pimafix and...

Mystery SNail Eggs nono for sure!! I heard that these snails would not populate like the others, but the way these guys are going, that's not the case. I read, tho, that the eggs don't always hatch, and they will have a rest period and slow down the spawning process. I would like a couple...

Mystery SNail Eggs The female has left another batch of eggs, and probably will leave another in a day or so. Unbelievable! Now I see why snails multiply so fast. I don't think the ones from the first batch will hatch. I knocked them into the water while cleaning the tank so they probably...

I just noticed this...am a new member. My gourami is in the process of dying,,...possibly the same problem except she has redness and raw areas on her face...started with a swollen lip and a white or grayish spot on her head...continued to get worse even with medication. I have three more and it...

Used 30 or 40 gallon aquarium, reasonably priced. My dwarf gouramis need more room! Please advise if you know of anyone near Hendersonville, NC has one available. Thanks

Dwarf Gouramis So true! It's like an addiction. I love the DGs and am looking for a bigger tank. Went to PetSmart today and found a nice 36 gallon, but need to wait for payday! Also, I already have 3 tanks going...actually 4 if you count the 5 gal. glo fish tank my daughter left behind. Sure...

Revamping Tanks LOL Caleb. You almost made me spit out my coffee. Thanks for the laughs. I have totally revamped tanks, and am looking to buy a used 20 or 30 gallon tank and keep the 13 gallon for a sick tank. Need some advice on how to reposition everything when the sick gouramis are ready to...

Sick DG Right now they are in the 10 gallon incubation/sick tank. I will be moving them to a 20 gallon or perhaps the 36 gallon tank when they mend. Do you think it could be from fighting.....Iknow it is a small tank, but don't want to put them with other fish until this stuff is cleared up...

sick dg I will try to attach the pictures now. Today I rearranged my tanks, so only the dwarfs and 1 swordtail are in that tank. The sword has a little white area as well so am treating them all together. Sorry...they came out sideways.

I've been treating my poor DG for 5 days, and suddenly he took a turn for the worse. Started out with a swollen pimple-like lip, and one missing scale, and then got better, and now t his. Have been usin Mela-fix. Just got some medicated flakes in but she didn't eat any. Any ideas? It looks even...

Absolutely. I plan to take back 2 Oscars and 2 plecos...I hate to do it, but one of the Oscars is pestering my Parrots to death. The Parrots are a "couple" and get along fine (at least for now. The plecos were given to me as a gift; I had no idea how big they can get; they are small now. I have...

Well...the only other option is to put them into the 36gal tank, but there are already 4 german rams and 2 elec. blue rams in there. Also a female swordtail and two snails and an oto. Probably no room for the DGs and I heard they were not compatible with the rams....not sure if that's true or...
