Rams are good. Gbr's have great color. Bolivians are nice too and a lot more hardy than the gbr's.

I'm sure its not ich. There hasn't been an new additions in months, and there is no evidence of ich at all. It must be nipping. I will watch it close and if I need to move them to a different tank I can do so. Thanks a bunch guys!!!

I haven't noticed any nipping and they have all been together for several months without problems.

The fish is very active and eating good. Nothing unusual. Tank mates are mollies, serpa, black skirt, and neon tetras, and a pair of Bolivian rams.

Parameters are all good. I do 30 to 40% weekly water changes. Tanks not overcrowded and filtration is good. None of the other fish have anything wrong. Its just this one.

Still no success with getting a pic. Does this sound like it could be fin rot or something?

Ive tried taking pictures of it but haven't been successful. Hes moving around to much. I will keep trying.

I have a yellow guppy that last week its tail got a streak of orange in it. Now in that orange streak its missing some of its tail. The fish is active and eating fine. All water parameters are fine. None of the other fish are attacking it. Its in a 90 gal peaceful community. What could this be?

Looks like a Bolivian. Its identical to one of my juvie Bolivian rams.

The round pink bellies isn't a way to sex Bolivians. Gbr's yes. Bolivians are harder to sex. Do a Google search and you will find some ways to sex them, with pictures included. Even if you have a male and several females doesn't mean they will pair up. I would also look at getting a bigger...

When your 5 yr old knows more than the lady at petsmart

Thanks for all the great advice!!!!!

Its not pfs but it is aquarium safe

So I'm making the jump to sand in my tank. I'm getting the quickrete sand as its the cheapest I could find in town. Couple of questions. 1. I have a common pleco. Would there be any hazards to him being on the sand? 2. They have 20 grit and 30 grit. Which would be the best? Any help is...

I haven't check my tap water. I will do that. If thats it how do I eliminate the nitrate? Yes I do pwc's weekly. Usually 25 to 50%

I need some help with the nitrate test. Heres the deal.. I'm using the API master test kit. The tank is cycled, and I always have a 0 ammonia, and 0 nitrite. It seems like my nitrate is ALWAYS 40ppm. I have tested before and immediately after water changes, and have even tested water from 2...

Yesterday I stopped by petsmart, just to kill some time. I went looking at the fish. EVERY tank in the store had ich. A lot of the fish were completely COVERED in it. Seriously how do they expect to sell anything. And then the sales person gave me attitude when I told my son we weren't going to...

Ok. Thats what I was figuring. Thanks for the help!

Ive been really thinking about converting to pfs. When I do, do I have to remove my underground filter or will that still be ok with the finer grit sand? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Northwest Tucson here. Have a freshwater tank I set up around July. Totally addicted to this hobby now!

Im in southern AZ. You guys in know of any good lfs in the Tucson area?

So my tank has been missing "something". Today I added some flagstone and now I love it. Its amazing how a few rocks can add so much to a tank. In the tank I have a mix of tetras to include neons, rosies, and black skirts, dalmatian mollies, and guppies. Once I get my German blue rams as my...

Ok. Thanks for the help.

I got some pieces of flagstone that I want place in my tank. How and what do I need to do clean then before I put them in.

Thank you all for your input. I looked at all of them and all are very nice looking fish. Guess I just need to choose now.
