Hey all, I have previously seen a bunch of threads with this topic but I would like some fresh perspectives or suggestions for this specific situation. I currently have a 90g C02 injected, planted tank with 5 Discus ranging from 4.0 - 4.5". There's also 5 clown loaches, 2 bristlenose...

PS - I would never buy Discus from your LFS. Almost all are very poor quality and are generally less healthy. I know of a few fantastic discus breeders and importers that come from great strains. Let me know if you're seriously looking into it. Regards, DG Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium

+1 to Roydooms Discus prefer and feel more comfortable in larger numbers. I am currently housing 5 3.5-4.5" discus in a planted c02 90g setup, which is on the low side in terms of numbers. I'd love to get a few more but everything is going so well at the moment I don't want to change...

How are your nitrate levels? How big is the snail? Half a wafer seems like a lot for 1 snail? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium

Hey all, I have some weird white stringy stuff growing on the glass of my 90gal planted tank. I've been looking in a lot of forums and cannot really find a final answer. I am wondering if anyone else has seen this before? I'll attach a couple pictures. I am not sure if this is the...

Hey all, I am wondering if anyone knows of a reputable online aquarium plant dealer that is in Canada or will ship to Canada. I am looking for hemianthus callitrichoides (cuba) and Hemianthus Micranthemoides (048A). Please let me know if you know of any. Thank you very much. Regards, DG

Yeah I did the usual acclimation process. When I woke up this morning, I saw 2 of them out swimming around. About 10 feet from the tank they darted back for the cave. I also noticed several large snail shells laying on the bottom this morning so it looks like they had a snail feast last night.

Hey, They've been in the tank for a week now.

Hey all, I bought 5 3.5" Clown Loaches from a very reputable local fish store and added them to my tank. Ever since I brought them home they have hidden underneath a cave like structure I have built underneath a large piece of driftwood and seem terrified of Humans. I have only ever...

Water changes will help but aren't a solution, agreed.

I've recently bought more buckets, I only had one before. I now have 3-4 buckets ready, after using Prime and letting it sit for a couple of days. So I am now capable of doing 25-30% water changes.

Hey, No keep everything at or below .25ppm, it's not worth risking their life to make the tank cycle faster, it will happen. I am in the same boat as you right now, I have a 90G with 5 Cardinals in it. My LFS told me that it was okay to add them, after getting them and doing much research...

Darby, I have started treatment with your suggestions of using Melafix and Pimafix. It's looking like his injury is starting to improve! Thanks for your advice (he thanks you too) :) Regards, DG

Hi there, I think I read that your tanks are still in the cycling process, is that correct? Although it's not normal to have ammonia in your tap water, it is normal to see ammonia during the cycling process. (It can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months). I also read that you have...

At the moment I am limited to doing 10% a day. I will continue to do 10% a day for 3-4 days a week until things are more stable. Thanks for the advice and help, I appreciate it. Regards, DG
