Ok thank you! Definitely looking for both a short and long term fix! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Thanks for the responses! I am using 2 FLuval 70's pretty good flow. I will look into a new way to add Carbon and also have been looking at the Estimative Index. The BBA is definitely annoying to look at and was my major concern! I just wasn't sure if that's what it was. I've been afraid to...

I don't know if I'm worrying too much about nothing so I'll include pictures. And I'm always reading but there's so many different possibilities, it's overwhelming me. I don't mind some algae because it's clearly helping my otos stay alive. My Amazons were small and had holes so I added tabs...

I have around 9 oto's In my tank. I only see about two - three on a good day. For over a month I thought the rest had died until I moved the wood one day and they all flew away scaring the heck out of me! They eat algae on the plants and glass and zucchini I stick under the side of the wood I...

I've had one too many battles with ick and what you describe, even though not enough detail, doesn't sound like ick.

Yes, most recent pix in last post :) http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f24/amazons-346672.html

Thanks! Just a follow up: I added an extra 3 root tabs and they all started blowing up and filing in. I never imagined I would ever have a planted tank. Now I have this. Nuts! Much less fish other than goldfish. I didn't even know what an angelfish was a year ago! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A...

Hmm. I feed them mostly flake 2 times per day, then once or twice a week choose from frozen brine shrimp and bloodworms, peas, zuchinni and squash for that 2nd feeding I'm going to feed just 1 x per day and see if that helps. Thanks for the response!

every couple months I have a fish die from dropsy. First it was a couple Platy's last year and then a break with no deaths. Now it's my Danios. I lost 2 blue pearl danios --- and then two gold zebra's recently the past 3 weeks. I do 2 - 3 water changes per week 10 - 20 gallons. 60 gallon tank...

so actually I looked at it again and it's not anywhere in particular, some in the middle, but mostly the edges and outermost that seem to be losing their green.

It's the outer most leaves so I assume the oldest? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

so they may be thinning on the edges as well because of lacking carbon? At first they were thinning because of my Albino Pleco, but I moved him to my goldfish tank. I dose the minimum of Excel. I should probably dose a lil more while I research a CO2 pump. Thank you

Last one better look at amazons kinda fading like it's missing something. I don't think it's my otos. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Aquarium Advice mobile app
