Does it matter the kind of fish? Like neons might need to eat more than rams?

I was leaning towards taking my chances with not feeding them. Is the two weeks just way too long?

I have baked wood in the oven at 200 degrees for 12+ hours in addition to boiling the wood and like flipping it with tongs (it was too big to boil all at once). Worked great!

I will be leaving my fish for exactly two weeks when I go home for the holidays. I currently have two tanks (both are planted if that matters): a 37g tall with a bolivian ram, 5 neon tetras and one bronze cory catfish (yes i know I should not have one alone, I will be restocking when I...

Yea, sounds exactly like columnaris. I found the peroxide to be very helpful, You should use a very small dose with the 5 gallon though. Keep the water cold. Neons like cold water to begin with. Aquarium salt should also help.

What is this film? I believe my fish have columnaris. Thanks!

I used hydrogen peroxide to treat my tank. I used 3% solution, 20 mL for my 37gallon tank. I took the filter media out before dosing. I did it once a day for multiples days accompanied with 50% water changes. I also turned down the temperature to like 74 to help weaken the columnaris...

I found a really nice piece of wood to use as driftwood outside today. I boiled it and put it in the oven at 200 degrees for 1.5 hours. When I took it out, I noticed it was oozing sap. How can I prep the wood to ensure it is safe for my tank? I recognize it may be easier for me to go to the...

How quickly will neon tetra disease kill my fish? Please help!!!

I recently had an outbreak of columnaris in my tank. One of my neons caught it (I noticed cottony stuff around his mouth) but recovered. However, while he was sick, his colors faded However, more than a week after all trace of columnaris is gone from my tank, this neon's colors are still...

I was thinking of getting either one large school 20-25 of neon tetras or a smaller school of about ten for the neons and ten for another kind of tetra/danio/rasbora. Right now, if I go with a secondary school I am leaning towards glowlight tetras. Any thoughts on what would look better/be...

Perfect. Thank you so much. The advice is much appreciated.

When will I be able to add new fish?

Its been in there for a day.

When should I put the filter media back in? Should I do a water change and add another dose of hydrogen peroxide just to be sure?
