Post photos of your Aquatic pond.

thank you Psyhampster... ;)

I have a tester kit for each kind of test. they are all separate kits that I spent a lot of money on. The amonia kit only has words, i don't know why this seems so unheard of. It came out ideal, which to me means there is little or no ammonia. also i do not have goldfish as i know those are...

What are these python things i keep hearing about how do they work? if it means no more gravel vac, the I am for it. Could some please explain this to me. Thanks!!

actuall i just vacumed last night. but didn't test water yet, so will do so when i get home. on the amonia tester, it comes up yellow which on the box it only gives option words and not numbers. yellow is the lowest and is called ideal. the next one up is safe, etc, etc.... i got the...

last time i tested they were ph: 7.6 nitrate: between 40 and 80 nitrite:0 ammonia: ideal

okay, will check it when i get home. I did a 25% water change lastnight too... so yeah, i had better test it.... thanks!

not that much, but everyone kept saying salt is good for freshwater tank. are the bottom feeders considered to be inbertbrate or whatever... the water conditions are fine last time i tested last week. how often does one need to test water conditions?

Hi, Last night, I was about to do a water change and found my lil sucker fish floating... he had red on his underbelly. Can anyone tell me why he perished. I added aquarium salt the other day, do you think this did him in???

You know you can QT them right? This way they won't affect the entire pop. JMO

I read something on internet where it says to treat sick saltwater fish is to give it a freshwater bath. exactly the opposite. Not sure how true this is though...

Is it really about the money. How insensitive of you.

other problem is I cannot get the algae off of the glass no matter what I try, so i thought I would tranfer the fish into some container with most of their water and then try to scrub the tank that way. I am also thinking of getting new tank, cause this tank seems old, we inherited it from...

Okay, but instead of using gravel vac, can I just somehow take all the gravel out and clean it that way, then put it back in. The gravel vac just doesnt seem to be picking everything up.

lmao! poor guy! Thanks again for all of your help with this. My boyfriend was the one who looked at a pic on the internet and that is how we figured it out it wasnt' a parasite, but he was like helloo. you spent so much time on this and I found out in like 5 mins... i had to give him that...

Thank god we didn't pull it off!!!! What would happen to him if we did pull it off, I am sure he would have died. Yeesh, we thought it was a fin, now I know how to tell the sex of swordtail. oh boy!

Hi, The fish has been in QT for almost a week now. The fish does seem to be doing better, swimming a better. I have been putting the antibacterial and antiparasite med into the water. I have also added aquarium salt to water every so often and have done one water change so far. The thing...

Thanks, How much salt should I add for the saltbath? Should I do the salt bath in the qt tank? Then when changing water in qt tank should I remove all the water and start fresh eachtime? Also, while the fish is in the net should we hold him under water and try the procedure?

Hi, This is in reference to my previous topic "Help my fish is swimming straight up and down." We want to manually remove the external parrasite from the fish. How should we go about doing this? Any suggestions.

Oh Thanks for the Kudos much appreciated! :)

Hey, Thanks tankgirl. My boyfriend actually wanted to try to pull the parasite off. So I should have him do this then. I wasn't sure. I thought it would hurt the fish so I told him no way! The fish is in qt with no gravel, heater and filter and a new rock for him to hide in. He seems to...
