    Sick Pleco? Worried!!

    Really? Not a single worthwhile bit of info? Everyone jumps on some noob's sick 25 cent goldfish in a 10 gallon tank that doesn't know what ammonia is or how to cycle a tank, but noone can come up with 2 cents worth of useful help when it comes to a fish/investment in a seasoned setup that...

    So I received my new lighting today. AquaticLife Dual Lamp T5 HO Freshwater Light - 48 in. Only took me about 20 minutes to get it prepped and set up/ installed on my tank. Looks and lights GREAT! Hoping to see some improved growth from my plants soon. On a down note though... as soon...

    Sick Pleco? Worried!!

    Well, nevermind.. he died... *@#$% Would still appreciate anyone's input on what may have caused his untimely demise. Was it from not eating? (It's stomach area was somewhat sunken in) or some sort of illness. Being both an expensive fish, and I was very attached to it, I'm pretty beat up over...

    Replace trim or paint?

    No, I do not paint, nor would I suggest painting the center brace, or the top of the trim. The center brace should be concealed by a light or tank hood and already black. I can't say I've ever seen a center brace done up to match the trim.... You don't want the paint to come into contact with...

    Replace trim or paint?

    I used Krylon Fusion Satin Black, to paint 3 tanks in the last 2 weeks. The trim as well as the back. No need to waste so much tape masking off any areas you dont want painted as this paint will come right off with a razor blade. I used 2 strips of 2 inch masking tape under the trim and still...

    What you want from the fish santa!

    I want all my fish and plants to be healthy and happy! Not that their aren't already :D The only exception being my clown pleco, trying to figure out what's wrong with him right now :( Oh, and maybe to have my electric yellows spawn in the relatively near future :D

    Sick Pleco? Worried!!

    Also seems a bit disoriented, just saw him swim up then down, looked fine while swimming, but on his way down he just kinda did a nose dive into the sand and tilted almost upside down before righting himself on the sand again

    Sick Pleco? Worried!!

    Thanks for your suggestions :) But he is not showing signs of fin/tail rot. They look normal and healthy. There is no white spots, and what would appear to be fraying, is actually how his fins/tail naturally are. The only spot is on his head next to his eye. It's not hairy or fuzzy, just looks...

    Sick Pleco? Worried!!

    So I have this gorgeous Clown Pleco. Kenbob gave me as a gift a few days ago. I am suspicious it hasn't been eating, and seems to have this white spot on it's head that I hadn't noticed before... It doesn't look like ich though. I've tried fresh zuccini, tetra algae wafers, bottom feeder tabs...

    I couldn't help myself. I've put off ordering the replacement trim for now as the repair has proven to be more than sturdy. So I cut some eggcrate to fit the bottom, added 1/2" Pool filter sand, then about 2" of flourite and polished pea gravel mix, followed by another 1/2" or so of PFS. Set up...
