The goldfish have ranged from 1" to 2" in body size. Most goldfish ever in tank at same time would be 3. Except for this one they all seemed to last about 3 months. And then there are the 5 white mountain minnows who have been in there almost a year now...they don't seem affected by whatever is...

This one was a calico fantail the others were orandas.

I've had a 30 gallon cube set up for Goldfish for about a year now. I've had several goldfish over the year and today one that I had for about 11 months perished. They all have died of the same symptoms: They start bottom sitting then perish. I believe the tank water tests pretty well. Here...

You got PM Carolyn

I'm interested if you'll ship. PM me with a price please. Also what are the dimensions of the tank? Carolyn

I'm interested in some live rock - I can't see any pics though? Could you email them to me at equinecpa at yahoo.com? Thanks Carolyn

I'm looking for a decent looking tank for a seahorse grow out tank, must be at least 15 gallons. I really like the ViaAqua tanks - anyone have one for sale, willing to ship to Texas? Carolyn

I have a planted tank with angelfish - are they big enough that an angel coulnd't eat them? Carolyn

I bought some Killis last month from here -http://www.geocities.com/killiesbyruth/EdsBook.html Not in NY but she ships. The fish were well packed and in great condition on arrival. I would highly recommend Ruth! Carolyn

Plants are OK - not really growing much but not dieing either. I did notice my anubias nana had a tatterred yellowish leaf. My rotala has a little bit of growth, same with my watersprite. But it still seems that the algae is the best thing growing. I would have expected my crypts to do...

Any suggestions at all? Carolyn

Ok, did some testing... Ammonia 0 Nitrites 0 Nitrates -12.5 ppm Phosphate -between 0-.5ppm (doesn't exactly match the .5) I thought these parameters would be just about ideal! Yet I can see the water slowly getting a little bit cloudy. The plants don't seem to be doing much growing (I know...

I have: Java Moss Anubias Nana Vals Amazon Sword Watersprite Rotala Moneywort I think that's about it. I still think the algae is trying to make a comeback. Anything I should do? I dosed very minimal micros the other day (5 ml) along with the 30% waterchange. Lights are on for 12 hours a...

I don't have C02 at present as I don't believe it does much good at this low a light level. I did a 30% water change this AM and dosed micros. I'll see how things progress. Carolyn

In the fall I posted about all sorts of problems I was having with a 30 Gallon Hex. I had too much light, not enough plants etc...you get the picture...tons of algae. I have changed things around. Last week my tank underwent a blackout, and I unveiled it on Thursday...and it was almost algae...

Day 2 I can see tails! Looks like there are quite a few good eggs Angels were acting weird last night, "kissing each other on the lips", is this some kind of aggression thing going on ? Is it normal? Carolyn

Thanks - I thought they might be a problem. I'll try to siphon off the free swimmers (if they get there) I hope I'm around when that happens. I bet the parents will be very PO'd with me :wink: Carolyn

I set up a tank in September and added 3 angels in October...just nickel sized ones. They have grown like bad weeds and it turns out (I believe) that the two I have left are a pair - they laid eggs yesterday. They are guarding them as I type - the eggs appear clear still, a good thing! I...

Hmmm...good link but it says no photos because it's hard to see gill flukes. :( In looking at pictures of other clown loaches I don't think the red cheeks are normal, would it hurt anything to treat with Jungle Parasite Clear Buddies if indeed I don't have gill flukes? I treated the tank...

Anyone have any links to pictures of fish with gill flukes? I have done a search but all I seem to find is pictures of the flukes under a microscope, I'd like to see what an infected fish looks like. My clown loach has pink cheeks, I'm not sure if this is normal or not. Carolyn

I actually like the self acclimate idea, but have not had much luck making snails stick where I want them LOL! I will be bringing the salinity to both tanks to about 1.02, the main tank has to come down and the qt up. This is what is recommended for dwarf seahorses who are the main inhabitants...

I have a dwarf seahorse tank and am getting a few more next week. I have a qt tank I'll be putting the new arrivals into where I've got the salinity at 1.020 which is the recommended salinity for dwarfs. I'd like to put a couple of my snails in this tank to munch on the algae that's growing in...

Fish deaths I just posted about a couple of fish losses I've had in the last month in the unhealthy fish forum and just thought I'd pick some brains here. I thought I was doing well, I had no losses from September when I first added fish until December. Since the middle of December I have...

The fish actually look normal before they die. The angel has passed - they die very quickly. I really think there might have been something wrong with this angel from the very beginning. I do not have a qt tank for my freshwater tank. I don't plan on adding a whole lot more to this tank...

I have a 30 gallon hex aquarium started in September. The water parameters all test OK : Ammonia -0, nitrites - 0 , nitrates -5-10, Ph-8.0, temperature about 75. I do water changes regularily but have not done one since 12/22 due to being away. I had 2 ottos, 2 small clown loaches, 3 angels and...
