I just stocked my 29gal freshwater aquarium with 3 male fancy tail guppies, 2 female Dalmatian mollies and 1 male Dalmatian Molly. The tank cycled for over a month, fish-less of course, and my water parameters are as follows: pH: 8.4 (high, I know but these were bought locally and raised in...

After a two week battle with ich, my Goldies finally succumbed. They put up quite a fight. I'm certain that the outbreak was caused by my ignorance and bad water. My Marineland Penguin 150 broke several weeks ago. My tank was without a filter for about 10 days. During this time, I was on the...

I lost Cagney, my black moor, yesterday. My tank is now fishless :(. Won't be adding new ones until my levels are stable again. I've added the carbon back into the filter to remove maracyn 2 and rid ich medicine. I've done a 75% water change and removed the substrate (sand--what a pain lemme...

Got the API water test. Ammonia and nitrites are both at zero. Nitrates at 5. Ph seems high at 8 but that probably hasn't fluctuated since I've had him. (6mo). My black moor looks awful and he's starting to swim lop-sided. Salt is at .3. Did a 25% WC and made up for lost salt. Temp is at 72 and...

I lost the Oranda today. Tested my water with those crap strips and decided to double dose with prime. Salt is at 0.3%. The black moor looks terrible. I think he's a goner. should i get some coppersafe? How can I get my nitrite and ammonia down FAST?

Thanks! I'll get a liquid kit tomorrow. How's the API liquid kit? I'm on a tight budget this month and i've already spent $100 on fish supplies this week! Did a water change, salted, and redosed maracyn 2. It's definitely ich, not fungus. These poor guys are covered in crystal looking specks...

Those pics are terrible, but the spots in question are the blurry bits on his fin closest to us towards the right. Today, they started looking like fuzzy finger-like growths rather than small speck-like things. Will salt eradicate fungus or help it flourish? I'll post more pics tomorrow and...

Thanks for responding. I always use prime to condition my water and used the old biofilter from my last filter in the new one. The filter is running without carbon because I'm using the Maracyn 2 for the fin rot. I'm on day three of five with the maracyn and I added salt two days ago. Salt...

I have a 20gallon tank with two small (2in) Goldfish (black moor and oranda). I purchased the oranda a few days ago and didn't realize I needed to isolate him before adding him to my tank. Now both fish have several white flecks on their fins only and their fins look frayed and transparent near...
