My fish laid eggs after a major water change. It also took them over a year to lay eggs.

Levamisole is not supposed to kill snails - my nerites just survived a treatment. But if you notice that your snails are being affected and you still want them, is to take them out. You can treat them in their bucket but with a lower dosage. Change the snail bucket water every day to keep if...

If you can, take the snails out and put them in a bucket with clean dechlor water and some food, like a blanched lettuce leaf. Keep them here until the treatments are finished. Perform a water change and gravel vac after 24 hours. Repeat the treatment once a week for the next two weeks just...

Denison barbs get quite large, like a strong current to swim against. They also like longer tanks of 4 feet or more.

I use chelated iron in my tank. I carefully slide the pill apart and let a pinch of iron fall into the tank every water change.

Water change 50% every day until your reading are 0 ammonia 0 nitrite and 10-20 nitrate. Your tank is not cycled yet. If your fish looked stressed change the water a couple of times a day.

Carbon removes tannins. Purigen removes organics.

Lies…it's the truth! I have a 45G discus tank. Lots of water changing. BTW, your fish are very good quality. Did you get them from Kenny?

White and fuzzy sounds like fungus. If not mentioned before, the bamboo will not do well if their tops are not out of the water.

Ok. I'm no expert in either type of cichlid. I have a 45G discus tank with 3 discus and some smaller fish.

Ok, thanks for the info. Keep us updated with the fish. Good luck with the treatment.

Freak, how many new world cichlids can fit in a 60? How many Africans in a 60? Most of the tanks large African tanks I've seen have many fish - at least 30 to a 60 gallon.

From my initial research, dichotomous earth is used in an aquarium setting in a filter: Amazon.com: Aquarium Diatomaceous Earth Filter Powder - Food Grade (3.3 LB / 1500G): Pet Supplies I good dewormer is levamisole powder and is sold as Vermisol 7.5%: Vita King Pigeon Supplies - Wormers If...

It could be just the stress of the move. Also, only have 3 fish in the tank may cause stress. The oscar is too big for the tank in my opinion. They don't like company and can take over a whole 60 gallon by themselves one day. For now, since he's small, he'll be fine in the tank. I would purchase...

Gorgeous tank. Thanks for the good advice. I didn't realize it took that long for a new planted tank to stabilize. I only have amazon swords in my tank so I haven't had the experience of a fully planted tank.

I've read that some Discus keepers have large colonies of shrimp living in thick carpet covering their substrate. I hope to grow dwarf hair grass thick and long enough to have cherry shrimp in my discus tank.

Angelsplus.com sells acriflavine. They use it to prevent fungus on their angel eggs.

Sorry to hear that. When do you expect them to arrive? Do you buy them from Inkmkr or somewhere else? Pigeon supply stores sell it too.

Sorry we couldn't save your fish. It can be frustrating.

Aquarium Salt so long as you don't have scaleless fish.

Complete a 5 day treatment. If this is day 5, stop, do a 50% water change in the AM and a 50% waterchange in the PM. Add salt at 1 tbs/10 Gallons. Continue changing the water 50% day, replacing the salt you take out. Continue for a week.

His color looks good at least. Let's hope his appetite returns at the end of the treatment. You can encourage him to eat by putting some frozen brine shrimp. It can make the tank messy so feed just before a water change.

I believe he gave you a placebo. At this point, at 100% levamisole, your fish should be dead. Stop treating, ask for your money back.

My wording is a bit confusing - treat two more times, one every 7 days for another two weeks.

That's more than plenty. In fact, I would say deadly. Where did you buy and what brand?
