Velvet?

I had an angel die a couple weeks ago from what seems pretty similar to this. I don't know if I'm just not seeing it or what, but I'm having a difficult time determining what this is. Anglefish stays to itself in back of tank (used to be very active) still eats but not very much and not very...

Still looking for opinions. Thanks!

I recently just took my leopard ctenopoma out of my main tank after slowly watching my cardinal and guppy count dwindle. I now am housing him in a separate tank. I plan on hopefully setting up an Oscar tank in the future. If I grow out my leopard ctenopoma I would like to house him with baby...

Thanks ill take a look.

I've seen the millennium gold, but apparently they turn orange as they grow depending on what they are fed. I've seen golden yellow and yellow diamond I believe.

Haven't heard of them under that name. Pretty much like this would be awesome, but probably unrealistic.

I'm looking for that golden/ bright yellow mainly solid kinda look. I know they are hard to find, especially in the US. But if anyone has any advice on where to get some either now or in the future it would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Absolutely! Not a problem

Yupp, on the lower side. But most tank raised fish nowadays adjust to many ph levels just fine. Consistency is what is important.

The strips are notoriously inaccurate. I'd definitely invest in an API master test kit!

+1! Good point

Well the flashing could be from the disease you mentioned, or could be from ph levels fluctuating. Check your ph levels from your tap water and compare it to your tank water.

Unfortunately that's something called "flashing" It means your fish are uncomfortable, can be caused by bad parameters or disease such as ich or parasites. The occasional flash isn't always something to worry about. If its consistent then it's something to worry about.

Had quite a few die shortly after this post. However I have had the remaining 3 for 3-4 days now. No signs of columnaris, but somehow have ich now! So treating for that now :/

Will do!

Thanks that was an awesome right up on the disease! It's doesn't appear to be spreading. But I have already lost two of them since this posting. They are be hospitalized right now under treatment with triple sulfa and salt.

Well they originally asked for just that. Not for their current setup per say. But as I just went over, I completely know what you're saying and agree with you. If you read my previous two posts you'll see where I'm coming from. It's just me having sort of a "soft spot" for people I see that...

Asked for "colorful tropical fish" in general. Just saying. I do see your point though of course. I just know many times I have asked questions and felt undermined by people doing exactly what they are doing here Same to you as well. Completely understand what you mean, just hate seeing...

He didn't ask for advice on this subject, he asked for advice on what fish to add to his current setup and then was bombarded with "overstocked" and "poorly stocked" comments. He was merely defending himself and telling people that he isn't having the issues people are talking about. Are some of...

Still looking for help if anyone has any ideas!

Just got new stock of cardinals and think they may have columnaris. I'm not positive though, so that's why I'm asking opinions hopefully you can tell by pics. One or 2 more have small spots like in the first pic as well. Opinions appreciated! On right side of pic, in front of moss ball...

Also you could keep regular filter sponge of course along with carbon or some fine filter floss to catch the smaller particles in the water. And of course your bio media.

I'd definitely over filter it. What kind of filter would work best for you situation. If you go HOB then I would go aquaclear 70 or better yet 110. If canister then fluval makes a great series of 06 filters that would work.

Hey, word of advice just because I too was concerned about weight on a second floor. But through research I did most houses unless extremely old and fragile should have absolutely no problem holding the type of weight. Think of it like this "5-6 people standing tightly in a row" That's roughy...
