I could probably get someone to come here that often. What are you suggesting? Should I just remove the feeder. Have someone come feed them every 5 days and keep the fish separated?

I dont know what kind it is... lol. I have half way attempted to take a picture of it. Its blurry. But maybe it will help. Cause I cant explain it besides saying that its a mean fish. its orange with a white spot on his lower fin. ????? See. Im not good at this. lol. And as to my feeder, its the...

If my username looks familiar to any of you its because you know that I only post here when my husband leaves on military deployment because his fish are suicidal. (My theory) I have one problem. 2 Questions. Problem: I am leaving the state for 2 short months. I have no one to feed my fish...

Sorry for opening another post. My hubby started this one and I did the one on the above link from Managerie. lol. symptoms have changed since the other post. Loss in color due to stress and laying on the bottom now. and some struggling to get to the top. I guess I will have him to a partial...

TY for the suggestion. I currently dont have any testing kits but Nitrate levels might be an issue. If my Nitrate levels were above... say 20 or so would that explain the stress of the fish and possible death?

I have only had the gourami since January (I think) I lost 2 other gourami's last week with the same symtoms. He is the only one left. :(

My Gourami is dying. It's just chilling at the bottom. The brilliance in it's color has drastically decreased. It's not eating. It's struggling to swim to the surface. There are no wounds that i can see, he's not gasping for air. He's just sitting there laying on his side. occasionaly he'll move...

http://www.wetwebmedia.com/AqBizSubWebIndex/fishdisho.htm number 7 under "Stress".. is where it talkes about wrong time of feeding.

I was reading one of the above articles and I have to ask.. Is there a such thing as a "right time" to feed my fish? If so please clue me in.. My hubby always feeds them in the evening and when he leaves, I will have to be honest I dont always feed them at the same time everyday... anyone know...

will do.. ty so much.

Sorry about the link.. its not important. Not sure why I put it in there.. No change in color. Nothing wrong with fins or scales or anything... It looks perfectly normal.. Just looks depressed. Hides and wont eat.. same as the two that dies this week. I swear they get depressed when hubby...

When I first set up my 38 gallon tank I had problems with gouramis http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.phpt=5845&highlight=gourami but for some reason tried them agian since I have moved and have new fish. And once agian I am having problems.. this time different. The only symptom is not...

dang I posted and hit reply instead of submit :( Bettafix! wrote that down. I also heard of Bettamax, what is your opinion on that? I only ask because I only have access to a very small fish store..Nothing else for miles on end. My choices are limited. Also is there anything else that I...

Here's the story. I just woke up about thirty minutes ago. I woke up to my find that my three year old son had gotten into our little 2 gallon tank and tore my betta's fins to ****. It's really bad. He's still alive but he's barely hanging on. We put him in a smaller container with a semi-low...

I'm so sorry to hear about your betta. :cry: I to have had my betta for almost 2 years and on 3 occasions this has happened. the last one was a week ago. The only other thing that i can recommend that helped me, which may be a nutrition issue.... is to try live brine shrimp. lfs should have...

lmao... you guys are too funny.... rofl.... still wondering how fast/slow to raise temp and if zycosin will mess up my cycle or not. I cant seem to find anything on it or aquari-sol. Does anyone know about zycosin? If not maybe I should just play it safe and not use it... ?.... I'm...

alli to the rescue! ok. The stuff I use is "Aquari-Sol". It doesnt say anything about malachite it says that it contains Zycosin. Im going to do some research on it when I'm done posting this. Wish me Luck! :) How fast/slow should I be raising the temp? like say per hour or day? Thanks...

The meds that I have work good and very quicky. On the back it says to raise temp to 85 as freshwatergal said in conjuction to the drops. I dont have to turn the filter off. My worry though is that the meds might interfear with my cycle and put me back where I was 2 days ago. Any information...

My temp is at 76 right now. soryy I left that out. If raising the temp is what you suggest, then what do I raise it to and how long will it take?

Ok. after my little ammonia eppisode and the update today... you will never guess what happened next. Husband isnt due home for another couple of hours and I have ick on the 2 Angels. It never fails. Why me? :x The thing is.. I have ick meds but how do you guys feel about that vs. raising...

DISEASE: FUNGAL INFECTION GENERAL INFO: If you always add aquarium salt to your betta’s water (1 teaspoon of aquarium salt per 2 1/2 Gal of water) and one drop of Aquarisol per gal, your betta will probably never get fungus. It is contagious, but bettas will more than likely recover if treated...

well I figured that since we were on page 5 of my "ammonia nightmare" I would start a new post. Well the cycling continues. The water still isnt clear but i dont dare put any accuclear or anything in it. The 2angels are doing fine as of today so I will let the tank run through its course...

lmao. you guys are too much. I dont mean to make my husband out to be the bad guy. He has the best of intentions. But he is in the marine corps and when they say jump he has to jump. Most of the leaving me behind. I have learned so much in the last 3 days about fw its not even funny. And I...

Yes you are very right. This is an amazing website. I just know that there is alot of information and I dont think anyone wants to sit down and type "everything" to a beginner. I'm sure this post would get very long very quick. lol. Because to be honest we know absolutely nothing about salt...

My husband and I have 6 freshwater tanks of varius sizes. We have been dealing with fw tanks since we've been married. In the next 6 mo we plan to invest into a salt water aquaruim. Probably a small one since we are begginers. I know that there is alot that goes into them and we have alot of...
