    Longtimers? Higher than usual number of sick labyrinths?

    I have not been on the boards but this year, but does it seem there has been an unusual amount of sick labyrinth fish? Especially Bettas? Newbies.. Experienced fishkeepers.. people with lax change schedules.. people with ridgid standards... mini tanks.. community tanks.. it doesn't seem related...

    This is Donna summer as I put her back into her tank after a strip down.....and then her watching me afterwards. Normally she is kinda a weird yellow color(like albino oscars with more olive) with turquoise sparkles and faint reddish stripes on her face. But I only see that at he door way...

    Things to make ya go..hmmm Snails & KH

    I noticed something this weekend.... All the tanks that baby apple snails have took over and are thriving in have a considerbly lower Kh (and GH) than all my other tanks. Some are almost at select and send off sizes (since in teh 20'san down more than 5 large ones can impact bioload) but the...

    Indentifying your colisa sex

    Colisa males have one thing different from 4 months on..that is body shape... then soon after the fins start elongating to a point more clearly. This applies to most popular gourami types. Many times a tank trouble making female are actually a male that was not yet colored, babdly coloered, sick...

    Allright! That's It ! We go to a qualified vet today

    Akira the betta has recovered from the dropsy symptoms but he begins to fade each time he is out of our company for more than 30 minutes. He is so bleached out and thin and wont take more than a few specks of food from your fingers..if near his face. He floats up top all day now instead of being...

    Poor lil mangoes..no one likes em! Now one is dead

    No one in my big tank liked the mangoes... My knife was fearful/aggressive of them like he is the 3 inch snail..would knock them off his mountain and chase them away from his door. The penguinfish were nipping their top sails and following them as long as they were exposed, the cories wouldn't...

    Heckel #2 has a great big owie- disc jockey tips please?

    Looks like the lil' guy was sleeping behind the heater in it's new location and got an unpleasant surprise. :( Ow!. As tender as these discus are to water quality, they are some hardy boogers physically. Cookie had big angry chomps heal up fast. And this little guy had a good chunk of caudal...

    The last of the ill betta have succumbed

    The toll in quality breeders was devastating. :( I have found the partial culprit... after the unknown airborne yuk the discus Cookie brought, we had the outtages.

    Scared to change perfect water...

    With the addition of the otos, my 40 gallon finally became perfect..just as I was readying to switch to a powerful hob and sand. It looks like a cup of lipton, is crystal in clarity (hue is dif than clear) and the readings are velly velly niiice. But what if it overbalances before the new...
