all parameters are fine but i'm doing a change anyway. No injuries on the cory or any of the fish. the tank is 10 gallons.

Hello all, one of my cory catfish is laying on it's side and can't swim upright? Is it a swim bladder problem? any suggestions? I hope I can save him.

I'm curious as to what will be asked of me if the Petco district manager calls. As for Wal-Mart, they should stop selling fish if they can't take care of them or worse, they don't care. Just stick with selling aquarium kits and pet food.

I think 2-4 trained people would more than do it. Simple steps could have minimized what I saw. Don't even get me started on Wal-Mart. Why they even bother carrying live fish is a mystery to me. But this petsmart fiasco puts Wal-Marts neglect to shame. And that is a most dubious...

it just angered me to see such a terrible state of affairs. That does not just happen overnight. this is from long term negelect.

Well my friends, I'm sure you'vr heard all the stories before. I just have to share mine about Petco. I went to pick up some more fish for the bottom level of my 20 gallon high. Petco is near, so I figured I'd have a go there and grab some cory cats. The story goes down hill from here. The...

the magnet is pretty strong so if you place felt end outside the glass over where the snail is and lower the other mag in water using the string an inch or half an inch away from the glass, bam! just be careful your fish don get smooshed.

I have read dwarf puffers can be very mean. they may chomp my guppies. Khuli or yo yos sound like the best bet for me. Just need to find a store that sells them around here. AshleyNicole, good advice for everyone here about taking steps to prevent an infection. I'm springing for some...

Destroy them JRP!!!! Destroy them!!!!

Sorry AshleyNicole about the lack of description. these are the snails living in the tank. Pond snails!!! Have a look. http://badmanstropicalfish.com/message_board/messages/32748/32818.jpg The problem is no one around here seems to carry khuli loaches. One store did but refused to sell them...

Now I hear those stay small. but will they chomp on the snails? I'd love to grab some of those if they could.

took the loach back to the LFS, teen store clerk looked at me like I was nuts the refused to give me a refund. whatever. the battle continues. I hear that if I lower my amount of feedings the fish will be fine but the youngersails may die off. may keep them under control. Lettuce trick...

don't those get to be a foot long?!?!

that will be my next step. I guess the LFS will say anything to sell you a fish. I better move him to a bucket so he does not do anything nuts tonight. i'll bring him back tomorrow. :drain:

Well the tiger loach was a bust. Jumped out of the 10 gallon and into the filter media basket of my aquaclear. Placed him in my 20 gallon. A tank that's still to small for him in my estimation. LFS said he's be fine. Just don't know. :roll:

LFS said a tiger loach should do it. claim they can't hurt tankmates. any thoughts?

I read that they can be smooshed but then I read this article about a woman that did that and got an infection that almost killed her and they almost had to take off her hand!!!! Rare case I'm sure but still scary. Will loaches do dine in my 20 gallon? I can always move them over once the...

also, are the nice to other fish? If they can eat a snail will they chomp my guppies and platties?

I hear they are much too big for a 10. Is this possible?

the tank is a 10 gallon. they are still hanging on the glass and moving around like nothing is wrong.

Quick and silly question to all, how will i know if they are dead? will they fall off the side of the tank onto the gravel? :roll:

well I don't think I'll will have an ammonia spike because after the addition of Had A Snail, they still seem to be happy as ever. It did seem to knock out some of my alge however. Bravo on that one. My tank right now has Cory cats, platies and guppies. None of the parties show any desire...

Snails are spreading around my 10 gallon tank. dumped in the recommended dosage of had a snail and hope it will work. has anyone used this stuff and if it's not great what else can be done?

my banjo is at the most 3 inches. I watched him last night and it seems the danios are more of a danger to him than the other way around. They harrassed the banjo and the banjo just dug himself deeper into the gravel.

now I'll want to overfeed because i'll be worried. Wish I never got this thing. :?
