There were two doses. It killed the worms. Any fish that were affected's stomachs blew up as the worms died inside them very quickly, and i lost them. But that was due to the overdosing. And most of my smaller fish died? I treated two tanks at the time. The plants were fine. I gravel vacced once...

Keep nitrates low.

I treated my tanks with levamisole. It worked. But I purchased it on Aquabid and the instructions that came with it were inaccurate and I overdosed. I lost a lot of fish from the overdose. The survivors are worm free though.

I've never seen them attack a fish. Unless they can slither over it, it should be safe.

Wow, that's interesting that there are species that used to be popular then but aren't now. The main thing I'm not seeing in any of the suggested species is the right coloring. The white was totally non irridescent. Kind of like some Koi. Maybe I'm remembering wrong.

Aw, so sorry. :(

Agreed.

Maybe those too. Thanks!

Thanks for all the suggestions! The Aspidoras look the closest in body shape and barbels. The color is different from what I saw. But I wonder if they were another species of Aspidoras that aren't shown in many photos on the web. That gives me a direction to look. :)

Aw sorry you lost him. :(

Yes before adding fresh water. After adding fresh water to ensure all chlorine is gone as there is an unexplained ammonia spike and to detoxify any ammonia. Perhaps my original post wasn't stated clearly enough for the AA police. My apologies

Thanks for the reply. They had no irridescence. And their markings were very random, not a pattern.

It detoxifies ammonia and adds extra protection when refilling the tank for chlorine.

When I was a kid, 40 years ago, I remember seeing a tank full of some kind of tiny cories at a KMart. They always entranced me when my mom took me shopping with her. They were approx. 3/4in. or smaller. They were mainly white with some black markings. But the markings were variable and splotchy...

It's definitely interesting to try out your ideas and theories. Either way, you will end up with a nice fish tank. ;-)

+1 before and after a water change. New tanks can be unstable for a while. Also, double check your tests if they seem way off. Hopefully you are using liquid tests. Sometimes you can get too many drops without seeing it happen in the test tube.

Nice job! Looks good.

It's probably a ding. Sounds like you are doing all you can. Just keep an eye on it.

I guess you could take it to a lab. Maybe a school laboratory where they could grow cultures from the bottle. I bet a biology class would love that.

Welcome! Here's a great article for you. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/guide-to-starting-a-freshwater-aquarium/ Good luck!

Sounds like a good possibility! :)

Yes but that's what the BB eat, ammonia. I wouldn't add too much fish food. Any chance some non-dechlorinated water got added to the tank?

Sorry for your losses. That is so weird. I don't know why adding a few rasboras would throw things off so much. If you put some fish food in there it will help keep the BB fed. Sorry I can't think of any thing else.

Lol yep.

Maybe medicate with Maricyn II.
