Hi, sorry to hear about your problem. If you are using the temperature method make sure to keep the temp. at 86 degrees for two weeks after the last spot is gone. Your fish can tolerate this for 3 to 4 weeks. Adding salt helps but it will harm your plants and any scaleless fish that you have. I...

Actually, I treat the Ich with Quick Cure wich I think does not contain copper so may be that's not the case and I also do my best to keep the tank free of algae. Unfortunatelly I looked for foods containing antibiotic but couldn't find them in my area so I bought Tetracyclin and started the...

Thank you so much for the detailed advice! I'm on my way to Pet Smart and will let you know if everything is fine.

Hi again. The things with my baby are not getting better with the Melafix so I went to my LFSs(3) and looked for food containing tetraciclyn but they don't have it. My question is if I buy the antibiotic seperately can I mix it with regular food and if YES how do I mix it???? Thanks in advance!

lol, thanks for the advice. So why do they put all that info on the label then??:((( I chose it because of my plants and scaleless fish. I belive the fungus is in stage 1 so I really hope to fix it with the Melafix but I trust you so much that i'll go and buy another QT and be prepared:)It's...

Hello everyone, tgoday I've noticed that one of my angels has fungus on his mouth and I started to treat him in the main tank(too many fish in my QT at the moment) with Melafix. My question is: will the melafix harm my plants and my black ghost knife? It shouldnt't but I did some research and...

Ok, I'll let you know how everything is going. Thanks again

Hello again, the goldy started looking lethargic but keep eating. I bought Melafix and started the treatment yesterday. There is no result yet but I hope the situation will get better. I also did 3 - 50% water changes for the last 3 days and added salt. If you have other suggestions don't...

I think the only reason for your loss is that your tank is overstocked. 10g tank is enough for 5 neons but if you have nothing else in it. So I suggest to either buy a bigger tank or donate half of your fish to your lfs because I believe otherwise your fish will become more stressed and...

Low, thanks a lot for the very detailed explanation. I'm not sure if it looks like patches but to try to be more precise imagine ich white spots but instead of white they are red(very tiny little red spots mostly concentrated at the belly area + a patch on one of the fins). I've just done a 50 %...

Hi everyone, I have 2(2 inch) Goldfish in a 10 gallon tank. I've had them for 6 months already and they were doing quite well. I do 50% water changes every week but still cannot manage to clean the tank perfectly. I treated them for ich 2 months ago. Yeasterday I noticed that one of them has...

I'm sure 100% that there're no corpses and No my fish aren't flashing...

Hi, everyone. Two days ago I noticed that my pleco is missing, I searched everywhere though my tank is heavily planted and it's not an easy task to search for death fish. I did not find a corpse and just left it this way. Today I looked for my female swordtail and it wasn't there I unrooted some...

Тhanks a lot for the advice!

Well, so that's the reason, I use Stress Coat that's why. Thank you very much. I'm gonna change it immediately.

A couple of days ago I noticed that there is somekind of froth on the surface of my tank. Do you have any idea how this thing has been formed and is it bad/harmful for my fish???? Thank you in advance!!!

I filled up a complaint and I guess I have to wait now.

Thanks for the info. When I get in touch with them I'm gonna let you know whatever happens. Thank you all!!!

Hello everyone. I'm writing this post because I'm really concern about the bad conditions in my local pet store. Every time I go there, -5-6 out of 12 tanks are diseased and the poor fish suffer. I've seen this situation many times and I always tell the staff or the manager that they have a...

Thanks again, I've just read that if it is a swim bladder disease it's better not to feed the fish for a while. I'm gonna start from there and see if they will improve.

First thanks for the reply. Actually I used the temperature method with no meds at all because I have some scaleless fish and did not want to bother them. I also quaranteed the fish in the worst condition and treated them with Quick Qure, then after 3 weeks everything was normal and I put the...

Hello everyone, unfortunetly I'm writing in this part of the forum again. Well, after having successfully treated ich in my tank(no deaths), it seems my cories aren't doing that well. Yesterday I saw one of them swimming near the surface and "rolling" and at the next moment he started sinking to...

I would just raise temperature to 86(gradually), wait for 2 weeks and the ick will be out of your tank.

I know, I have some kind of problem oploading the pics but I've already written to the administrators. Sorry about that.

How Can I determine the temp. level that my fish can tolerate???
