You're definitely right about getting more food! The oranda is a beast at mealtime, he pushes the big dojo loaches aside like nothing. The black moor doesn't seem to care about food as much. But they very often get fresh veggies to graze on all day which usually nobody fights over. If everyone...
When I looked into the care of all of them I was sad to see that none of any of those fish belonged in my 40b. I even managed to ask Steve Poland about the tank and recommended against either group. I have since started cycling it and I put sand in it. It's going to be a Tanganyika Only tank...
Thanks for the ideas! I would love to do a different tank however I want to make my first dirt tank planted and full of tannins. However GBRs were actually my first choice for this tank, however I would also like to out them in a well planted tank and I want maybe two plants maximum in this one...
Any types in particular you'd recommend? I like the idea of doing a tank with none or very few plants and big rocks.

I was given a used 40g breeder tank by a friend and still haven't figured out what to out in it. I was going to do A propagation tank for plants and then put a couple cool fish in who would love the dense vegetation but now I put my CO2 system on my 55g goldfish and loach tank. So I'm left with...
I have a Black moor goldfish and a calico oranda in a 55g tank. When I got them i got them both in the same week and they went into the same QT tank, both the same size. Its only a little over 3 months later now and the Oranda is way bigger than the black moor. the Black moor has at least...
Awesome. I have a tank with corys already so I'm not desperate for any more of them unless they're really good with the Rams. I kinda want my focus for it to be small fish big plants. I didn't even think about angels although I'm so hesitant to try em haha. I thinkni should try my hand with...
I have a 40g breeder that I'm about to put my first ever CO2 setup on. The guy from my LFS helped me a lot and I'm going to be putting basically all types of plants in there so I can grow them or propagate them in that tank and move them to other tanks at will. But I want to put fish in it since...
WOW! He is 100% again already! Thank you, both of you, very very much. I'm so happy Sumo is no longer in discomfort. I'll keep observing closely and testing the water a little more frequently for the next couple weeks but I think we're all bueno. :dance::thanks:
Did a little more than 50%wc tonight and added salt. Treated about 30g with salt and the fish looked happier before I was done with the change. Did it slowly and matched temps the whole way so everyone is doing good. Will update sometime tomorrow but Sumo seems like he is well on the road to...
Perfect thanks so much for the help. He is looking way better today. Still looks a little slimy and his she's are a tiny bit cloudy but he looks much better today. Should I medicate or just leave him? I'm gonna leave him alone I think. But I'm open to suggestions

Both are doses for 10gal. I think I'm going to do a big water change tonight and see how he is in the morning. Then I might proceed with a half dose of the triple sulfa in the qt tank. He looks much better today. Looks like he has a thick slime coat but his eyes are a little clearer

Triple Sulfa active ingredients are 664mg sodium sulfathiazole, 168 mg sodium sulfathazine, and 168 mg sodium sulfathazine.
The super ich cure is 1.3mg benzaldehyde green and 1% PVP per 5ml dose. I don't know what the PVP is.

They both seem fine. Sumo the sick one is a little bit lazy. Why the super ich cure over the triple sulfa if you don't mind me asking. And no I didn't because I made sure the tanks were basically the same temp. There was a two degree difference but I floated then and drip acclimated them for...
So yesterday I moved my Black Moor GF and my Oranda into their 55g(fully fishless cycled). Yesterday and this morning everybody looked fine. I get home from work today and my Black Moor, Sumo, has cloudy eye and what looks like spots of couldy slime on one side. I have API Super ich cure and API...
