@Pete_Banks how creative! Movies, tv shows, or story book names sounds like fun :D @Mphish - Like banana, kiwi, cherry, strawberry, pear, mango? Adorable! Maybe throw in a couple exotics like coconut, longon, liechi, snake fruit, papaya, starfruit, ginnips, rombuton, guava? Certainly make for...

Thanks! @Delapool @nshepler Thanks for your input! I'm just curious ^.^ @Gibberwatt - If she was damaged, I'm glad you saved her! That's one lucky fish :D I have one that is much larger than the others, about 1.25" vs .75" the others. It seems, surprisingly, to get picked on, so I'm...

Newest Photos Here is a picture of the internal "dot", dark marking. One thing I have noticed, from the left side you can see it pretty clearly with some flashlight illumination behind him. However from the right side, it's much harder to see. It seems to me it's still inside, but maybe just...

Getting better pic I'm working on getting a better photo . . .

Deceased Fish Photo Sorry, I did not attach the pic correctly to the 1st post . . .

Color change & parasite note Having the fins turn slightly more pink or red, sounds almost like a good thing as if he is regaining color in his fins. My flame tetras also did this, they were mostly silver and when they were introduced to the 20gal tank, the pink deepened a lot to where I...

Estivating Thank you fishfur & autumnsky If the snail is in estivation and it gets moved, what are some potential repercussions? pH 8; ammonia 0; Nitrite 0; Nitrate .1 - tank is only about 2 weeks cycling so far

Start siphon & Cat drinking from tank I'm not sure what equipment you have, but search Youtube "start gravel vacuum without having to suck the tube" :dance: or here's the link: -------------------------------------------------- My cat drinks the siphoning gravel vacuum water, whenever he...

Cat hair & drinking out of the aquarium Yep! :lol: Several times I have seen cat hair & started shining a flashlight on it thinking it was an unknown parasite in the tank.:blink: Once a piece of hair got stuck on a fish's fin, gave me quite a scare.:eek: I removed him from the tank, only to...

Garlic Granule Feeding Update @jeffaquarius - Your fish may not touch garlic, but it could also depend on the breed, my test was successful with pure garlic granules.:thumb: @BBradbury - Thank you for the info. :thanks: I'm glad to see it doesn't negatively affect your fish in the long haul...

Separate Snail to Feed I was wondering if a snail stays in one place, for several days... :blink: Is it ever good to remove him, and put him into a separate bowl to feed algae wafers or cucumber? My fish like to pick at it & eat it, by the time he gets around to the bottom of the tank or even...

Pure Perlite as Biomedia Hi, I was wondering if you ever find any additional information on this topic. Or ever got around to trying it out? I have some extra perlite from a gardening project I got from online. I read the package, and specifically says that it doesn't contain any fertilizer...

Feeding lettuce vs fresh callaloo (aka amaranth) Hello, I currently have: 1 white cloud mountain minnow (rescue) 3 flame tetras (rescue) 7 glowlight tetras If I recall correctly when I was reading, all these breeds of fish are omnivores and will generally eat fish food, snacking on algae...

Garlic Powder For those that may feed garlic, have you ever tried garlic powder or garlic granules (about 1/2 size of a grain of sand)?:confused: I have an organic garlic granules in the pantry. I guess I would be lucky if I could get my fish to eat it, as it would be quite "garlicy". I...

Water Conditioner Also, just in case. Make sure to put some sort of water conditioner or some brands go by stress coat. So the chlorine and/or fluoride doesn't inhibit his recovery. Try starting out feeding him the inside of a non-salted cooked pea (without the shell), in case he hasn't eaten...

Garlic, Salt & Water Level If he is still eating, that's great.:thumb: He's still getting nutrients to help him fight this off, and once you can narrow it down you can even provide medicine & soaking the food if needed internally. You may want to wait for the confirmation from others here...

Neon Tetra Disease Have you looked into Neon Tetra Disease? I'm not sure if the symptoms match, but I've read a few places that it's a common disease and if your neons came from a giant breeding place & from a big box store they're likely to catch it eventually. :eek: Some of my tetras were...

When I first introduced my 7 glowlight tetras to the tank, I would look at them individually in a small betta-style cup. I thought I had little identifying markers, based on size, minor fin damage here or there. But now, they move so fast I can barely tell anything about them:huh:. Anyone...
