Pictures of the EBR, white mold and bearded algae. The female is hanging out with him but he is the only one in the tank gasping for air.

Last night I did a 50% water change with graval vacuum. I added 5ml of Biotopol, 5ml of Ferropol, and 3ml of Denitrol after thr water change. I did not clean my filter head just the outlet tube. This mornig I woke up and my EBR male is gasping for air at the top of the tank. I Googled it...

Male EBR is still doing great, eating and being energetic. Do I continue the white spot treatment until his spot is gone? I am going to do a 33% water change tomorrow. Which is also on the third day I would put medication in after the water change. How long does it normally take for the...

The blue is gone from the rocks and deco so I guess it is normal. The male EBR is much more active today than the past few days which is great! How long do I keep the white spot treatment up for? Thank you again, Jeremy

My male EBR has a very small white spot that appeared on his head. He has been hiding a lot as well so it was hard to get a good picture. I believe the spot may have appeared because we turned the heater down to 22C causing the water to dip to 26C at night. I turned the heater down because...

What are your water parameters?

In reference to my picture? It is pretty funny looking actually. [emoji39] The EBR was eating food in front of the Pleco when I snapped the photo. [emoji41]

My electric Blue rams have red eyes with a black stripe in the middle.

Snails are good for your cleaning your aquarium. If you end up having to many you can buy assassin snails to deal with an infestation.

One thing that I have learned from this forum is to always ask, "what are the water parameters?"

Here are the reading over the last few days for my Tank: 04 May 17 - added 30ml Denitrol KH: 9°dKH pH: 7,5 NO2: 0,75 mg/l gH: 14 06 May 17 - added 30ml Denitrol KH: 10°dKH pH: 7,5 NO2: 0,75 mg/l gH: 13 08 May 17 - added 30ml Denitrol 09 May 17 KH: 10°dKH pH:* 7,5 NO2: 0,0 mg/l gH: 15 The...

N00b question, but why add salt to a freshwater tank? The water is already hanging close to 28C. I am not to confortable raising it higher.

Unfortunately, the Female has died. :( All of the other fish seem to be doing fine as far as color and feeding goes. (9 X-Ray Tetras, 1 Electric Blue Dwarf Cichlid, 2 Bristlenose Plecos & 2 Mystery Snails) However, I brought my previously posted readings to my LFS and I was told to use 30ml of...

Finally got a test kit in: KH: 9°dKH pH: 7,5 NO2: 0,75 mg/l gH: 14

The pic posted upside down for some reason, she is at the front of the tank now but not swimming very well.

She is not doing well at all. Not sure what to do. :(

Requesting assistance with my Female Electric Blue Ram. She is normally very energetic and comes to the glass when I feed. Today she hung back on the side of the glass and I noticed her head and eyes are turning black. I have a Male Electric Blue and 9 X-ray tetras that look and are acting...

No heartburn here, not trying to say I am ecpert by anymeans, just giving my story with Electric Blue Rams for Alex.

I have a 54L planted tank with the pair of Electric Blue Dwarf German Rams and 9 X-ray Tetras, 2 bristle nose plecos and 2 mystery snails. I do 30-50% weekly water changes depending if I vacuum the pebbles. I have had this setup for almost a year. I did lose my female before first month, but...

I have not had any problem with my Dwarf Electric Blue Rams. Perhaps it was beginner's luck?

I do not think they are that much work depending on the plants you have. I cannot remember the names of mine off the top of my head but I fertilise them with tabs once a month and trim them when they get to high in the tank. You also have to understand the amount of light required for the...

The h2o2 worked like a champ and I also did a 50% water change. Thank you!

To clarify above what I have and what I am proposing: Current established 54L tank: - 1 pair Dwarf German Electric Blue Rams - 9 X-ray Tetras - 2 bristle nose plecos - 2 mystery snails Proposed ~100L tank (Not yet purchased): - 1 pair Dwarf Cockatoo Cichlids - propose moving one bristle nose...

The 54L is my first tank. Here is a picture of the Pleco for reference.
