I have a black moor, 6 inches that I moved into the quarentine tank because of finrot. I started on meds for the fin-rot. I now, 24 hrs later, have a calico goldfish with stringy poop, clamped fins and bottom sitting. Can I use Medigold for both conditions or must they be in separate quarentine...

Ich is the size of salt grains, yours looks larger. Fungus maybe? The stress of such a big change could have lowered their immunity and something could have gotten stirred up when you removed the mud.

I used a dresser with thick wood for my small tank, very sturdy! Was going to use it for my 55 gallon but found it had sagged in the middle and would not support evenly:facepalm:. Ended up having to build a new one after all:banghead:. You must make sure it will give equal support or your tank...

Ending the thread here. I'm going to end this thread now. The worst is over, and if I have any major problems I know who to PM. Thanks to everyone who contributed and helped me get through this fish-in cycle without unduly stressing these already stressed fish.:flowers::bb::wave:

I was told to bleach the rocks in a slightly weaker solution than you used then soak in water with at least double the dechlorinator for two to three days to remove all the chlorine. Also, have you tested it to make sure it won't effect your PH?

After bleaching them you should soak them in water with double prime or other dechlorinator. That will get out the chlorine better. FYI : Some rocks have trapped gas bubbles in them, and will explode when heated in pot or oven:hide:.

I'm planning on adding real plants to the 55 gallon. I have an Anubis Coffeafea in there now, but I need to get some rocks so I can attach it to something. Found a list of plants they won't eat online. Put in some java moss but they picked it all apart! Will have to securely attach it to...

The Amm and nitrites have been 0 for the last day and a half. :dance: I went ahead and started them on the Medigold last night. I had put him in the colander briefly and he spazzed, totally freaked out and the bump had a tiny bloody looking spot. Was going to put him in the plant tank to...

Good info. Received the Medigold today but will probably hold off, as the red veining has receded and is not nearly as noticable. The white bump is much flatter as well. Will continue to keep the water numbers as low as possible and continue monitoring. If something seems hinkey I have the...

Fish bump Sorry it took so long to get back to you, Internet was down. He won't stay still enough for a pic. The red is the veins showing, and the bump is just a white raised bump. Ordered some Medigold and it hasn't arrived yet, but he's still acting normally. Set up the old 10 gallon as a...

Comet problems Numbers in the big tank are looking good: PH : 7.2 Amm : Trace Nitrites : Trace Nitrates : 10ppm The comet this morning is acting fine but has red at the base of his tail near a white ( size of this o ) spot. The white spot is actually raised, like a cyst or something. Also can...

Thanks!

Thanks. Snails seem to be doing okay. The one not moving is attached to the glass now, so we'll see. This morning fed them peas, squash :taped:, and spinach, along with some baby brine shrimp. Only had freeze dried, so I soaked them in hot water to soften. Also gave them some mosquito larvae...

Water #'s have not changed yet. Hope the bacteria in the Angels plus filter came through shipping okay. They had to have set the darn thing in the sun, it was VERY warm when I unpacked it. Temps here have been in the mid to high 80's. Numbers at 1000 this morning : PH : 6.6 Amm .25 ppm...

Picked up the aragonite, some java moss, and a couple of zebra snails for the plant tank. I tested PH and Ammonia at 1630 and they were 6.6 and .25ppm respectively. I'll test nitrites and nitrates in a bit. The filter from Angels Plus came today and I put it in the tank. It was awful warm out...
