I have a plastic rock that I bought from LFS awhile back, the tank in question has always been artificial 10 gallon. Contains Tiger barbs/black skirts. I've recently did a salvage job on my bedroom tank to get what was left of my plants. I then move them to this other 10 gallon with the...

Like the topic said sacrificing my 44 gallon for my tiger barb's and black skirts. Basically They've been stuck in a 10 gallon for almost 2 years. Stock 4 barbs 2 skirts in a TEN gallon! What started it, was something in a Drs. Foster & Smith magazine about tiger barbs needing a minimum of 30...

I don't think you understand. 10 gallon No fish low lighting no supplements/fertilizer ick GO!

All my fish are dead and my plants slowly dying. My last fish died some where around saturday and monday. I've been running the temps at 86-95F for this whole week. How long before I can move the plants to another tank with life without infecting it with ick?

What about my plants? I can't simply move them to another tank without infecting it with ick. I'm baffled on what kills a betta in 6 hours that didn't exhibit signs of problems.

TOTAL LOST! The betta has died, leaving me with 2 serpaes. One of them are in a free float *swim bladder gone* so Thats the end of that one. What went so wrong, its only been 4 days since I started the treatment. I maintained 86-88F did 25% water changes with dechlor every other day. None of...

I lost my last flame tetra. :( Damn the holidays! I went 1 1/2 degree up every 6 hours until I hit 86-88. I can't do 50% PWC might stress my fish more, I can do 25% which is what they are comfortable with. I just did one a few minutes ago, after I cleaned up the dead body. Keep you updated.

WHAT THE HELL I must have gotten the worst ick ever. I've lost a flame tetra and a serpae. My second flame tetra is suffering the same symptoms as the first one. Starts out as ick then he starts ballooning, then starts a swim bladder problem and finally death. My serpae was fine then after...

My bedroom 10 gallon tank has been neglected, and I got the consequences. Recently I added more plants and did a 20% water change wednesday, for a flame tetra who might have dropsy or a bacterial infection. I'm not sure, but he is a balloon. I havn't been doing my water change since about a...

Well I have a 10 gallon with a 15 watt bulb and I just recently got some moneyworts for the tank. *since I've had some really good luck with java ferns* Anyways the lighting maybe low but I'm not expecting much growth with it. I'm getting ready for my 29 gallon project, so I figure I'll jump...

I'm sad to say the little guy didn't make it. :cry:

I'm not kidding... Started about 2 weeks ago, I noticed him to be a bit swollen in the abdomen area, But I figured He was constipated. So I stop feeding him because I went out of town for about about 3 days. Came back still a bit swollen I figured it would go away because it had not increased...

Maybe I forgot to tell you that I'm only having an issue with this site only. If it were several other sites I would have connected the dots and would not have posted. But since its only this one I can see why you would like to pin the blame on the user instead of something else. Another thing...
