I don't think she is getting better, I think she is getting use to her handicap and is adjusting. She is not swimming on as much of an angle. She is eating and doing everything else normal. This guppy is large compared to most that I have seen. Perhaps she is just getting old. Thanks for...

Water quality is good. "0" count N3 etc. She also has a bit of an arch or hump in her back. It almost seems that she has a problem with her spine. Is it possible for a fish to through their back out?

Melafix is like Buckley's Cough Medicine....Smells like it too. Smells bad but it works. Did wonders for my guppies.

I have a female guppy who gave birth a few days ago and is having problems swimming. She doesn't have the flexability in her swim that she had before and she is tail heavy, swimming on a angle. She had babies a month and a half ago and 5 weeks later a second batch. She seemed really big for a...

It amazes me that Guppies can have up to 6 batches of fry over a period of time from one mating session. Maybee this is common knowledge but when my friend told me this I thought he was off his rocker until one of mine did it. Roger can you expand on the selective breeding topic. I am new...

Great News...The Ich seems to be gone and my hair is starting to grow back :lol: It has been a long 2 months but I think I have won the battle. After turning my fish into junkies, with all the different meds I threw at them, I think the product called "ICH CURE" finally got rid of the @#$%%$...

Well I am in Canada any of you folks are more than welcome to come up here and help yourselves to as much snow as you like. I liked it as a kid, but I despise it now. 3.4 feet in the front yard. I long to see my green green grass....and then it s that darn grass cutting time......Hard to...

I can't remember how much I paid for them, but they work great for standing on cement for any length of time. It really saves the old knees. And it is dense enough so that water can't seep in and cause mold and other slimy things.

Recently I decided to set up another tank. I placed the tank on a kids work desk, but had some concerns about how level or flawed it was. After hearing horror stories of tank explosions because of defective stands, I decided to put a cushion underneath. A lady at my LFS told me to use...

The doses here seem a little weak compared to the instructions on the Aquarium Salt box from Hagen. They recommend 1 TABLESPOON per 5 gallon to treat Ich. My LFS said the same thing. Actually disregard... I guess 1 tsp per gallon is the same or close to 1 tbsp/5 gallon. This explains alot...

Talked to the LFS where I got the fish.. They admitted to having a bad batch of fish in this one shipment. Refunded my money. I moved my last guppy to a bucket and put fresh water in the tank. Thought I would start fresh with the other fish dead or showing signs of infection gone. Next I will...

Did that also. :?

No the tank is not cycled yet. I was using guppies to cycle and keep. Thought I would use guppies because they are suppose to be so hardy. Last night I took out the ornaments and did a 12 Gallon water change. (15 Gallon Tank)(Water was cloudy looking)(Water still a little cloudy). Down to 3...

Thanks fishfreek, but thats what I do and it then tells me that my profile is updated, yet when I go back into it, its the same old address. It does not make me reactivate though. Any suggestions?

Thanks again Alli, do you ever get the feeling some people just shouldn't even try. :oops: Thought I might have better luck with this tank. Anyway one of the guppies tonight sat on bottom most of the night and then slowly died. I noticed a couple of red blood spots on its side that formed...

Thanks Alli 2cents - I know what you mean, but you would think that some of the other meds I have used would take care of most other pests. I noticed tonight that the loaches are starting to look better. (I have been here before and got fooled) going to keep up with the Quick Cure..we are on...

Ok here is an update. Gourami is Dead!, Crab is Dead! (Did not do well in Goldfish bowl), Female Platy..Dead!....So; no one knows what the Gourami had (ie. holes in fins and white scabby areas)...Ok...So I could not find RidIch plus here so I purchased AQUARI-SOL...this did nothing...and then I...

Thanks Roger.....Da, do I feel stupid, I didn't see this forum. Thanks again.

Clown loaches are great..But be ready for the ICH :x They are ich magnets, but I still love mine. The orange and black really show up well in the tank.

I got some guppies for my 15 gallon tank yesterday. Two of the guppies have, what looks like white fuzz or cotton in there mouth. Any suggestions?

Sorry for this off fish topic. But I need to change my email address in my profile. When I try, it tells me that it has updated it, yet when I look at my profile it still uses the old email address.. Does anyone know what to do? Didn't see a link for site admin. to ask.

Fruitbat, the crab is in a private suite in the goldfish bowl hotel (no fish). :lol: How long did you treat with the Aquari-sol? It says to add the same amount each day. Is that what you did or just a one time dose? And did you do water changes during the treatment peroid?

Picture of sick Gourami Here is a picture of the Gourami I was talking about. The white spots have been there since I got him 6 weeks ago. Holes are progressing. And so are bumps under skin. Hope the picture help Raise bumps are on other side of fish.

Thanks MadN. I priced the D. Filter, cant do it. No funds at this point, things are more than tight right now. But I love gadgets and this one will be on the wish list. And Alli - I could not find RidIch Plus here, so I had to use the Aquari-sol for the last 2 days. Still spots on loaches, but...
