Anyone in the general vicinity? Up for meetings/get togethers, I'm all ears and for it.

My friend has 3 female platies and a male guppy. One of her platies has recently had babies. She's had the fish for about two monthes. Is it possible for a guppy to breed with a platy, maybe possible come up with sterile fry. She says another platy appears preggie. I don't think they can but...

If I can find a reasonably priced one that could be an option. Anyone have any suggestions for one with a Fluval 403 canister filter.

I know it wasn't a spike, I had tested my water afterwards. He wasn't dead for very long, I went to work everyone was fine, I came back and I found part of the crayfishes tail. My readings are in the "myinfo" part I'm anal about keeping my specs there. So far I'm liking the H2O2 and the...

I'm not sure what I'm trying to kill. I had a crayfish my fish killed and ate it after it molted, a few days after the fish that I know would have ate teh crayfish or somehow gotten bits by sifting through the sand started looking blah. A day later I had my first casualties, then by two days...

I think I still have a parasite in my tank. I want to know what I can do that will kill everything in my tank. I put the remaining fish in a QT tank. Can I OD the tank on strong meds, something to that effect. Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure, I don't use chemicals in that room. As I said I still have my African Butterflies, my Cory Cot, and a Parrt Convict Cichlid (in the QT tank with lots of meds, antibiotics and a external and internal parasite eliminater). My only guess is the crayfish had something, one of my...

Sorry for the late reply. Water specs are good. I don't think the MelaFix and PimaFix led to thier demise. I think an internal parasite of some sort did. I think I know what happened. I had a crayfish that molted last week Wednsday, the fish made quick work of all but the tail (never had that...

Thanks for your advice. My online crashed the other night, I wasn't able to respond til just now. (S)he didn't make it. I think I know what happened. I had a crayfish that molted last week Wednsday, the fish made quick work of all but the tail (never had that happen before). I believe the...

Thank You I will pick some up. Set up my 20 gallon for my little guy. Flutter

I don't know why I lost two balas and a tire track eel. Anyone know the effects to MelaFix and PimaFix on healthy fish. I put in the recommended doses for my size tank of both meds. Should I have cut that in half. I don't want to lose anymore fish, I'm upset over the losses that I have and now...

I realize this post is kinda old but here goes. My parrots are in with balas, peacock eel, tiretrack eels, speckled cory cat, and a crayfish (be wary of them, I have had tremendous luck, I have heard teh horror stories).

Update: My funny gilled betta buddy can flare I'll take that as a good sign. Flutter

Well let's see my readings exactly are: NitrAtes are between 0 and 20 (I have dipsticks)NitrItes are 0, Ammonia is 0, Hardness is between 50 and 120Alkalinity is at 80, and my pH 6.8. My tank has been up for about 1 1/2 year. I haven't updated I haven't had my pleco for awhile now. Right now my...

One of my BRPC has a perulent "nostril" that is also inflamed, I'm assumming (s)he had an altercation with one of his/her tankmates. The fish in question is acting normal. I was thinking of putting in salt to help heal the wound. All of my nombers were at 0, I was starting to get that green...

Thanks again :)

So far so good. What do you think about me throwing a bit of aquarium salt into his living area. It's like 1/2 gallon so I know around a tablespoon or so. I'll make sure I do 1/2 water changes daily. Thanks again.

Thank you for the information on the MelaFix. The gill looks like it's half way into or out of a flare. Someone else had mentioned a possible defect, but would most likely live a happy and normal betta life with proper care. I brought him home to day, Hubby said I should name him, what else but...

I work at PetCo, in the fish department, in Watertown, NY. I was doing water changes on the bettas. I noticed that one betta had his right gill "flexed out", except it's permanetly like that. He seems ok except for that. I put in a tad bit of MelFix one to two drops) as per the manager. It's not...

Hahahahahaha, love teh story. I love my Python, it's my favorite peice of pet equipment.
