    Constipated angelfish

    Shelled peas have worked for me in the past along with suspended feeding.

    Add new fish after unknown disease

    You might want to treat both tanks for parasites in the meanwhile just in case. Good luck!

    Pale Cory clamped fins

    Thanks! I agree. I was debating it might be velvet because of the gold dust around the gills BUT that could also just be him. You're right I see the spot but it isn't raised or fuzzy not much to see at this point. He is pretty darn old and his friends are gone :( I would have gotten more...

    High Nitrates

    Tank is usually 75- 78. Cold water out of tap has been in the 80's usually 83-84. Summer in TX. The pipes in our new house must not be buried as deep. I do use ice to cool it down. It's just a time consuming process. Filling 3 5 gallon buckets, cooling down, pumping back in. I can't remember...

    High Nitrates

    Nitrates run about 40 ppm. I'll check that thread out thanks! They have eaten a Java fern. I'll try an anubias. I will change the substrate if it will help. I can use it in another tank but if it doesn't help I don't want to mess with it. Filter is eheim 2073. Tank is well established 75...

    High Nitrates

    I'm trying to lower high nitrates in my 75 gallon. I have been doing frequent small water changes. Filter has been cleaned and some media swapped out. I was planning on making this a planted tank so it has a Flourite substrate. No plants ended up in the tank because the red eyes eat them all...

    Bronze cory lost all its colour??

    Sorry I misread you were water changing instead of water testing. I know stress can cause it. I think cories are supposed to be in groups of 4-6 or more. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Possible bully in the tank.

    I thought I was dealing with an illness and treated. In the aftermath it seems one of my male rainbows (possibly the Bosemani) is bullying the other male. As of now all the fish are fine except my Australian male. His fins are bad and the Bosemani has some knicks on his scales. Yesterday they...

    Stressed Minnow - post power outage

    Did you only test ammonia or did you test other parameters as well? I know a PH spike can cause some weird behavior. Did you test Nitrites? Symptoms of Nitrite spike are: Fish gasp for breath at the water surface Fish hang near water outlets Fish is listless Tan or brown gills Rapid gill movement

    Slowly losing aquarium help needed

    Seriously my water parameters are in normal parameters. They have been for years. I test weekly. I change every other week or weekly at times. I don't treat willy nilly. A lot of thought and research went into the two treatments I've given in the last 29 days. It is the first round of meds...

    Suddenly lost a Cory- ideas why?

    I always had bad luck with Pygmy Cories they died off super fast. Here we have really hard water so I used driftwood and RODI water for my tank and it didn't help. Took the last 2 back to the fish store.

    Stressed Minnow - post power outage

    I have no idea if it will help but maybe add some surface agitation? Could the water need to be more oxygenated? Otherwise I would agree with a sick fishy.
