Well I had general cure on hand which will hopefully take care of it. May grab the other stuff to keep on hand

Will have to try this out when it starts eating again. Right now or is not happy being in hospital tank so it is hiding

I wish it was that easy for sure. T

I have a long term hospital tank resident who was blinded in a fight with another cichlid. He has been living happily in hospital tank about a month healing up and was waiting for a good time to rearrange the main tank to see if i can get him back in there. Problem is i have another fish that is...

Have a cichlid in a quarantine tank that is not eating and rather poor looking after some stress with another fish. Had hoped the time alone would get him feeling better. I wanted to start a treatment of general cure incase stress just caused something to flare up. Problem is I will be out of...

I have one of the MarlineLane 56G tanks(tall). It has been up and running 3 years and is now rather heavily planted. I have lost some fish over the years and am thinking I could add a few back now to restock but hoping for variety. I have 2 turquoise rainbows 2 parkinsons rainbows 5 serpae...

I love the rainbows we have. So energetic and colorful for sure.

Was hoping to go with something different rather than reboosting the red eye and black neon community. The batch we got have, for lack of a better term, been boring. Looking for fish that move around and have some decent coloration as well.

I suppose I could just try to move it. With all the rock work the side of the tank worked best. it is by the input to the filter so I thought that would spread it around. Will have to monitor it and see and perhaps get another cheap 200 watt for other side or something smaller.

Thank you. I do have the aquaeon pro 250 in there now just concerned about hot spots and the fact that it is on the borderline for what a 250 will handle. I do have it by the input to my canister so it sucks in the warm water and distributes it

I just upgraded my 56 gallon to a 75 and moved my fish. I just moved over the 250 watt heater I had before but I am unsure if this is enough for the larger tank. Given the extra length should I be looking to get another 250 for the other side of the tank or something similar. I tend to keep...

Done Finally made the switch and got the cichlids into the bigger aquarium. I moved none of the substrate so only bacteria that made the move would be in both of my filters. I have tested the water and ammonia is 0 but nitrites are around .25-.50 and I am having difficulty getting them down as...

Thanks for the advice. For the record though the 36g planted tank has no snails. The cichlid tank got them somehow and they are all over the filter media. When I migrate the tanks I will try to eliminate all the snails i can see in the filter but the chances of getting it 100% are slim with...

I have a 36g bowfront community tank and a 56 gallon tall cichlid tank currently. On black Friday I picked up a new 75 gallon tank set for a good price. I would like to move the cichlids from my 56G tank into this one and then upgrade my community tank to the 56 gallon to give them some more...

Yeah not sure where the snails came from. I think it may be bacterial as after two days it is still a touch cloudy. Either way water params look decent enough so I think I need to make the move tonight

I have done a few more water changes and water is cloudy now but looks ok aside from that. Somehow during all this i managed to get snail infestation too. What a pain. Going to hope the water clears up a bit more and try to move the fish back tonight or tomorrow as they are getting a little...

Probably true. Trying to get the tank to atleast clear up some before i put fish back in

My concern was that those tanks lost power too so their filter bacteria may be gone too. All tanks have a HOB and 2 have a canister also.

One HOB filter and a canister.

I have 3 tanks in my house. A 55 with African Cichlids a 36 community and a 10 gallon tank with Cichlid fry. I was out of the country and had someone watching my tanks when Hurricane Matthew hit and killed our power. By the time the fish sitter got back the batter aerator on the main cichlid...

it is hard to say. it almost seems like he is fighting sinking and swims real fast to get higher in the tank then sinks back down etc. there are times when he swims perfectly normal. he is in the hospital tank and i have only tried once to feed him but he had no interest. I really dont know what...

I am having an issue with one of my black neons. My wife notice today that it was swimming oddly basically vertically with his head up . Seems to be swimming swiftly in small bursts about midlevel of the tank. His gills seem to be sticking out a good bit. It is possible his back is bent slickly...

I have a 55 gal tank with an assortment of Peacocks in it (12) they are all still juvi's. Two weeks ago I did my normal weekly water change of 25-30% and left for the day. I didn't realize that I had forgotten to turn the filters back on (one hob one canister) . Approx 27 hours later I got back...

so far so good Came home from work today did another partial water change. Stats are much nicer and water is crystal clear again. Ph is normal for a cichlid tank. Cloudiness may have been in part to stirring up the same substrate the night before. Fish are in much better spirits today, very...
