Well, in short, I had some fish in quarantine (20 gal long) and one died immediately after entering the tank. I didn't think much of it since it was right from the LFS and they were a new batch. They didn't have any more Boesemani in stock, so the next week they replaced it with one from their...

I purchased some rainbow fish and oto's from LFS. One rainbow didn't make it, and the replacement I received either contracted or had what I believe is columnaris. For details you can view this thread: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f12/pimafix-dosing-question-174220.html My question is...

First, two shouts of hoorah for QT! Picked up 3 Boesemani and 2 Turquoise Rainbow three weeks ago to round out the schools in the main tank. Got them in the 20L QT and one died very quickly. I waited a week to make sure it wasn't something in the batch or in the tank and the other four seemed...

Blind fish euthanized, symptoms familiar? First, this is why you quarantine fish before adding them to the community. If you don’t have a QT tank, please get one. I picked up 3 Boesemani Rainbow and 2 Turquoise Rainbow at the LFS last night. I came home and acclimated them to new the QT (20g...

I purchased a tank in the last $1 a gallon tank sale and it came with an Aqueon Rebate Certificate. I'm not going to use it, and it is good until 12/31/2012. If anyone would like it, you can PM me your postal address and I'll stick it in an envelope and send it to you. First come first serve...

I'm looking to set up a quarantine tank, probably a 20 gallon long, and am wondering if anyone has tried or has any comments on the Fluval Underwater Filter. Specifically, I was looking at the Fluval U3 (155 gph) if I end up with the tank I have my eye on. The place I would like to put the...

What are others using to weight blanched vegetables for feeding Otto's, Bristlenose Pleco, and etc? I am currently using a rock on a corner of the vegetable, but I'm sure there's a better way. TIA

I've been looking to round out my tank and Rainbowfish went on sale at the LFS. They didn't have 5 Boesemani, but it was suggested that I could round out the school with Turquoise (sometimes known as Lake Kutubu) Rainbowfish, which I did. First, the tank is a 55 gal corner bow-front. Cycled...

I went to the grocery store to get some salt for my tank and the Kosher salt listed an anti-caking agent in the ingrediant listing. They didn't have any pickling salt in a large enough container, but they did have some Ice Cream Salt that listed salt as the only ingrediant. The box states...
