I'm doing a new setup and I definitely want to add red jewels to my tank. I'm using a 60 gallon long with plenty of filtration and plenty of places to hide. What cichlids would be best to add to the same setup? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I raised the temp. The fish looked stressed out when I was using the tablets. Today the ones that haven't died we're behaving like normal.

Yeah, I'm glad I don't have any. I'm trying to kill this Ick quickly and effectively. Hopefully this stuff works because the tablets aren't doing anything.

Has anyone on here used Copper Safe to treat Ick or any other disease outbreak in their tank? If so, how effective is it as opposed to those useless dissolving tablets?

Yes. It's a liquid test kit.

The tank size wasn't the problem as I only had two other schools in there. One school of danios and one school of black stripe tetras. I also have a rope fis and a pictus cat (now deceased).

I'm using API freshwater ammonia and PH test kit. My PH is at 7.0 and I'll have to recheck my ammonia levels when I get home later. Last time I checked, the ammonia was 0.0-0.2 range.

I have excellent filtration 2 Marineland 330's with bio wheels and excellent oxygenation with one huge airstrip and a separate large airstone. I raised the temp to 82 degrees when I first started treatment. All of my ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels were normal.

I recently added a school of Silver Dollars to my established 55 gallon community tank. Two days later, I noticed that the new school started showing signs of Ich. I immediately started treating the water with Ich Guard after I removed the media from both of my filters. I've been doing...

I know. These are babies. This is only going to be a temporary home.

Doing a Frontosa setup, how many teaspoons of cichlid salt per gallon in a 46 gallon tank?

My Brichardi are spawning since I bought ceramic cichlid caves. Is there anything I need to do to protect the fry?

What's the best food I can give my frontosa that would really bring out his color. Is live food better or pellets?

Whoops! My Frontosa isn't full grown! I forgot to post that. They're all very happy and healthy though.

I have 1 Frontosa, 2 yellow labs, 1 african cat, 4 brichardi. All are full grown and I have them in a 46 gallon bow front setup with a penguin 350 and several airstones. Also, there are plenty of hiding places for all of them.
