All is good so far. Im on my 3rd day of 86 degrees. Throughout the process the GBR has remained active and hungry. It almost seems like she's not even effected by her illness. Must be a strong girl. All of her ich spots have cleared, and it was pretty bad for a couple days. Now I'm...

I'm starting the heat treatment. Be careful telling people to just turn the heat up to 86. It should be a degree a day an I thought it's was 82.

I know this doesn't help your current situation but i find a 1/4 tsp of yeast per 2 cups of sugar lasts much longer.

Aarrgh! Well last night the male suddenly begin hovering at the top of the tank. I tested the water which came out 0, 0, 20. I did a water change anyways at 2am. But woke up this morning to him dead. And now out of nowhere the female has a bad case of ich... soo frustrating!

There is a little nipping going on. The platies, 1 in particular, does not like the new additions. She keeps swimming up next to the female GBR and nips at her pectoral fins every so often.

You should have a slight trace of nitrates. How big is the tank? That's quite a stock!

well I'm now the proud owner of a pair of German Blue Rams. I spent a couple hours drip acclimating and they took the tank quite well. Timid at first of course. I've posted a pic of the pair in my 55g album. It's seems my membership has run out so now I've exceeded my photo limit.

thanks again! Heading to the LFS soon! Pics to come.

Need more info. How long has the tank been running? What are the water parameters? ammonia, nitrite, nitrates Was this tank cycled? What else is in the tank?

I did screw up the ph test. lol. it's 7.4

Thanks river! This tank has been running for almost a year, with a few changes to the stock. Originally had telescope goldfish for a long time, but lost those and decided to go with a schooling jungle. My tank gets about 50% weekly WC with nitrates never going above 20. I've called around...

are they closed up and floating or just slithering along the surface of the water?

welcome to the party!

wow, that's a beautiful fish! Do you think I have room for a school? I was mainly looking for a pair. But this may be an idea. So far, this is what I'm considering: pair of Peacock Gugdeons or pair of Blue Rams or possibly a small school of boesemani rainbows. -I really like the breeding...
