Hey guys! 60 gallon Trop tank with 2 Leopard ctenopoma's

[Kris33]

Hey guys I'm going to include 4 pictures...

Been in the hobby for almost 3 months I have an amazing 60 gallon tank that I'm waiting for the new decor to come in it'll be Driftwood and an Asian attached to Driftwood! I can't wait, but..... I have 2 Striped Kuhli Loach's, 2 dwarfs, 2 rainbows, 2 guppies, 2 Dalmatian Mollies, 2 Albino Loach's annd theen my favorites.... For now �� my two Leopard Ctenopoma's also known as the Leopard Bush Fish....

Only concern as of right now is the red under my new Kuhli Loach's gills? There's 3 pictures the smaller one is the one that has the issue but my other Kuhli never had this problem? I've read some of y'all's advice which made me want to join this group and read your forums etc.... I'm going to add a picture so you can get a chance to see and if you know ANYTHING about it, that would be amazing!

Thanks in advance guys!

Awesome! Love Kuhli Loaches!!!

Are you familiar with the nitrification cycle? Do you have a good Beneficial Bacteria colony in the filter media?

What are the tank parameters?
Ammonia
NitrIte
NitrAte

pH

TDS

GH/KH

The article link in my signature has some really useful information and also about the BB / nitrification cycle.

Hey Autumn, thanks for the reply and the link! Very informative!

I'm not new new, I'm about a year into the Hobby so I can ALWAYS learn more about any fish. Even fish I don't have and ones that are unique, since there's so many! My Waters on the hard side I can tell you that and here's a picture of my waters diameters, plus I just got a little vine of Pothos Plant and wrapped it up in my filter? other than that it has Lucky Bamboo and two Water Wistera plants growing nicely so far!
