when do you like to buy your fish online. I'm waiting for the weather to warm up. It's like mid 50s on average with the occasional 30 dip and snow. Waiting to get to consistently 60 degrees before ordering online. Is that a safe temp to ship tropicals?

I heard you must treat the snails too though? I removed some of the assassin snails because they acted like they couldn't carry their shell. It was weird looking. But I noticed two more of my assassin "beached" over night. They are still alive. Just not happy. The rest are a couple pest snails...

Ok so I dosed everyone yesterday. A pretty high dose. He snails are not happy. They all came out from under the sand and laying on the bottom. But the gourami looks better. I still see like one tiny worm hanging out though. Do I wait a little longer before doing the large water change? Because I...

Estimated to be here Saturday. I don't remember who it was from. Someone on eBay. The guy that I previously got it on amazon sold mainly shrimp so when I sifted through the reviews I realized no one had purchased his levamisole and left a review. So his 5 stars were for the shrimp. The guy I...

Ok he went ahead and refunded me. I hope the new meds come in fast enough. I should get it Saturday. Just hope it's not too late for my fish. He's starting to sit at the bottom of the tank and occasionally swim around looking for food. But he does spend a lot of time sitting at the bottom...

There is probably like 5 grams in there at this point because I keep adding small amounts every hour waiting for the fish to be just barely lethargic. But he doesn't seem to care. He actually swam through a cloud of the dilution when I poured in some more and didn't seem phased one but. I bought...

Yeah I feel like he should be dead by now but is just nonchalantly swimming around looking for food. It's someone on Amazon by the name of InvertObsession. Figured he was okay. 5 stars on his ratings.

I purchased pure levamisole powder. It's 99% pure.

Okay well there is definitely more than a tsp of 99% levamisole in his tank. I did a 80% water change before dosing. It's bare bottom so I can quickly get any worms. But he's not dropping any. I just see the worms hanging out of his anus. There's probably 2.5 tsp in his tank. Maybe I have a...

Bump please. Looking for advice.

So I can't seem to get the dosage right. I have a fish in QT that has callamanus worms. And I started off with the recommended dosage of .076 grams of pure powder. Nada. Added another. Nada. I then added .4 grams. Still nothing. Added ANOTHER .4 grams. And the fish is just acting like there is...

Thanks for the tip rivercat I'll get more CPD than threadfins in that case.

Oh well I'll just keep the two I already have the passed two years. They seem quite happy together. Even laid eggs a few times lol they are the emerald corydoras. I'm definitely sticking with the threadfins and the celestials :). I was playing with that site and it said I could get 10 and 8 of...

So you don't advise threadfins? I was really wanting those in my densely planted aquarium. With the celestials.

Ahh I just like the look of the threadfins. Even the females I find pretty :) I like how both of these fish stay fairly small. Why so many Cory cats for a 29? I've had these two for a couple years now. They seem kinda big to add 4 more! Lol I'll check out the link and play around with it. I...
