I did match it. I was very careful about that part. Its sad, but I suppose that it should have been expected. They just all looked like they were doing ok with it. :(

So I've been at 88 degrees in my tank for about two weeks. Treating ICH with heat. Nobody has any spots anymore and I've been spot free for about a week. I did a water change yesterday and sadly today, I found one of my cories dead. :(. My perimeters are ammonia 0 ppm, 0 ppm nitrite, 5 ppm...

If you spend $25 on amazon.com, the Shipping is free. I just ordered a couple of other things I needed anyways.

I just got my order from amazon today. The expiration date on my kit is 03/2018. ;)

What happened!? A terrorizing moss ball? Lmao.

I have a female betta in a tank with 3 guppies, cories, and some rasboras. She's awesome and really laid back. No problems with her at all.

I want to visit your local fish store!

Oooooh, I think Tony is right! If they don't color up, I would say that you do have the Boraras Merah species. I know that mine did take a little bit of time to color up, but maybe only a couple of days. Thanks Tony!

I was told by the fish guy In a local pet store that 3 days is long enough to cycle a tank. He had never heard of the nitrogen cycle and had worked there 3 years (he offered that info). This was at a large chain store too. I don't buy fish there.

They couldn't put them in a normal tank because they are small? They could have been stressed. They like planted tanks and to be able to hide in and out of my driftwood holes. I'd give them a special brine shrimp snack and see if they color up in a few days. ;)

Thanks!

They may have recently arrived at the shop and didn't gain color because of the stress of shipping??? They get to be about 2 cm and the males will get brighter. My females are red too, just not quite as bright. I noticed they really brightened when I started adding baby brine shrimp to their...

One of mine, they look like they have the same dark markings as yours.

They look exactly like my chili rasboras. I've heard them called mosquito rasboras and they take a few days to color up. Mine are really bright red now. Google Boraras brigittae

Me too! I ordered it today. Yay us!

It is like a bubble ZONE in the tank. It's very aerated. Hopefully that helps with the high heat and less O2...Do you think that my fish list will survive the 86 degrees?

Ok, I just did about 30% water change, added the carbon back in (noticed the green hue to my tubing *blech*), started raising the temp, added another air stone. Ok, ICH, get out! lol Hey, thanks to both of you for your advice...I hope someday, I can help some novice ICH warrior in the same...

I think this is what I'm going to do. Any idea how long I should keep the heat up this high? Maybe a week after I see no more spots??? <-guessing I wonder if I could add a small amount of salt without damaging the plants?

So maybe you've seen me on here complaining about my ICH woes. Basically, after a water change about 10-11 days ago, I noticed one of my chili rasboras had two white dots on him. The next day I went out and purchased Quick Cure and have been treating the tank with that at 80 degrees temp. I...

Just wanted to let everyone know Amazon.com has the API Master Kit (freshwater) on sale for $15.51, it qualifies for free super saver shipping too. :) Have a great weekend! :fish2:

So I'm upgrading from a 20 high to a 29 today. I'm so excited!!! I know it's not much, but I am still happy with the upgrade. I have plans to do a pair of apostogrammas (flame maybe) and some schooling fish. Haven't decided on cories or otos though. :)

My python siphon came today so I'm pretty excited to enter the world of no more bucket brigading. One of my API ammonia test tubes full of water and testing chemicals fell and broke all over my counter tops today too. :(. I cleaned everything with vinegar. I have no idea if that was a good...

I can't believe that the spot is still on this dang fish!!! I am either the most impatient fish keeper in the world or this is the slowest moving ICH ever. Dang I'm sick of green water and lethargic fish. :(

Oh my gosh, thank you!

I've recently discovered the beauty of a riparium. I love how they look. Does anyone here have a great link on start up/beginner information? I am thinking I want to try my hand at this. I love aquariums and I love tropical/house plants. It's a perfect marriage possibly? Any advice or...
