Ignore the identification request on the last post. Appears I had 2 more males and they have now turned the darker color after missing the dead ones and have started sparing. Less competition I assume. They are surely the same species. Unsure why only the 2 colored ones were effected by...

Hi Finishingbuds. Glad to hear you've had a better experience. However, Melafix appears only to be fatal to some Pencilfish. Other species seems fine with it. I did some further research but can't be sure if its to do with a mix of water chemistry and Pencilfish or if its a specific Pencilfish...

Hi All, I've just had the most horrible experience with Melafix. I treated my 280 litre tank with 30ml yesterday to help my corys that are loosing barbels. I posted about this earlier and did a water test 6 days before using Melafix with the following results. GH: 12 KH: Between 3 and 4...

Thanks so much for your detailed reply Aiken. I added purigen a month ago because my driftwood had also released tannins and turned the water brown. Its cleared up now so I guess I will remove it at least until I treat the corys. Will replace it with a fine sponge or wool to fix the detritus...

I think you were right with the oxygen flow. I had installed my spray bar vertically because it was disturbing my frogbit. This left the tank without any surface agintation. Although it really helped move the tank water around at the bottom and clean my substrate. I've mounted it horizontally...

Hi All, New here. I added a new Cory 2 days ago to my 280 liter / 70 Gallon tank. It's joined my 3 other Cory's and 6 Otos in the tank now. i understand Cory's are not supposed to make bubble nests but this one appears to spend a lot of its time on the surface blowing bubbles. It appears...
