poor little fish. he just died. I dont understand what could have killed him so fast. he was fine this afternoon and then he completely deteriorated within a few hours. :cry: thank you so much for your help and info. I'm going to do a bunch more research on angelfish health and diseases before...

thank you so much for that link. he doesnt have rapid gill movement. he's not belly up, just nose up. I found some worthwhile info ( http://www.angelfish.net/yabbse/index.php?board=5;action=display;threadid=8239 ), but I'm out of any antibiotics. I put the bright tank light out and have just...

found linkies thank you for your response. I've been reading through all the angelfish related posts on this site and here: http://www.angelfish.net/yabbse/index.php?board=5;action=messageindex;start=60 since I first posted, I've done a 50% water change and havent retested the water yet. , but...

sorry for posting again so soon.. but my angelfish seems to getting worse by the minute. he's kind of listlessly scooting around and then almost tumbling around, just using his front fins. then he'll lean on a rock at the bottom of the tank with his fins all bunched up. all the other fish in the...

hey everyone! I have a 29 gallon tank, kept at around 84 degrees. I've had 7 tetras and 3 platies for months now, and added 2 corydoras and 5 danios last week. there's only the 1 angelfish at the moment and up until this evening he's been doing great since I got him 6 months ago. he appears to...

just wondering.. at the moment I have four tetras, one dwarf corydora and a platy... I'd love love love to add an oscar or two, but I have a feeling they wouldnt go well with my little fishes. I lost a number of fish when I first set the tank up, and now that the biofilter is established, I'd...

I have three rummys and they've all gone pale! they had ich about a week and a half ago.. I turned the heater up and have been keeping the tank around 85-86 degrees. I just tested the water and the nitrite had jumped from 0 to 10, nitrate at 20 (GH 75, KH 80, pH 7.. havent tested the ammonia yet...

... fish for a 29 gallon tank? I have 11 now, but I'd like to put a few more in.. at least some more platys. I had 6, and all but 1 died. the remaining platy seems lonesome to me. :(

all three of my rummynose tetras have ich! it seems like the little white spots appeared overnight. I did a 50% water change. raised the temperature to 83 and gave them all salt dips. what else should I do? do I need to change all the water?

thank you for the info. when you add aquarium salt, do you add it straight to the tank or do you let it dissolve first? I've been adding it to a small bowl of water and letting it sit a while before adding it.. I have four little corydoras that patrol the bottom of the tank, it seems like it...

awww. poor fish, keep us posted on how he's doing!

my poor platies! I started with six, two died, one disappeared.. of the three remaining, two look fine and the other one seems to be going downhill the way the others did. the others started to become listless, stopped eating and died within 24 hours. this one (his name is herman :P ) has been...

when you do a water change how much do you need to worry about temperature? I keep my tank at about 76-78 (f) and I'm talking about a 20%-30% water change here.. I've been trying to make sure the water is close to that, but I'm sure I'm not as close as I think I am. how much will this affect the...

I'd really really not put a tank on that. aside from the hundreds of pounds of strain the tank will put on the dresser, you also have to worry about lateral pressures affecting the stability of the dresser and the tank. I'd be terrified to open and close the drawers with something that heavy on...

hello, me again :D is it ok to leave the hood light on 24 hours a day?

I'm not an expert, but a few things off the top of my head... I dont know how big your tank is, but you could get a tank splitter. I've seen them at all the fish stores I've been in. water in a container that small is going to cool really fast, not at all good for the fish. ammonia and other bad...

hehe, she's very cute.. hope she likes the fishies :lol:

yah, that's me. I dont have any other icons except the ones I'd already made for a different website, so I just recycled it. :) I assume that's not you in your icon ;) (and thank you for the info, I'll check that out!)

just curious, how are you regulating the temperature in the milk jug? how long have you had your fish?

how funny, cool, thank you. :)

I have a peppered corydora who just started freaking out a little while ago.. he keeps swimming up to the top, maybe poking his mouth out but I cant quite tail.. and then just zipping around like a frantic little madman.. everyone else in the tank is behaving normally... is ok? what is he up to?

hey everyone :) my name is victoria. I live in san francisco and recently started my first aquarium. I'm curious.. what are these kudos things lited by everyone's name? anyway, this site is fantastic! my first day posting here and everyone has already given me alot of much needed advice! :lol:

benji- its worse for a fish than a person getting a tattoo. its stressful and can shorten their lifespan significantly. somebody else posted this link already, but here it is again: http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ good site. check it out.

ohh.. that's so sad about the painted fish. fortunetly, I'd read about them before I'd actually ever seen them in a store. when I did see them I was pretty upset.. it seems like the pet store owners must not care very much about the well being of the animals they're stocking if they support that...

aw! cories are great... I have four right now and I love them. two are tiny albino cories, about an inch. how big are your pygmies? how big will they get?
