i had the same thing happen to me. apple snails can be very proliffic, laying an egg sac once a week...... but they usually wont and they will only lay eggs if the conditions are perfect. a couple things you can do to stop more eggs is to lower the temp in the tank(if possible) and cut back...

heres what i have right now in my planted 55 gallon: 5 zebra danios 3 black neon tetras 3 SAE 1 albino bushynose plec(marty) 1 bolivian ram 1 femal american flag fish 10 apple snails 1 Bamboo shrimp (Captian yemoto) my story: i bought a pair of bolivian rams over a year ago after about six...

thanks for all the responses, at this point all is well and i didnt loose any fish the bolivain ram started swiming more yesterday, and today he looks fine again. im thinking Apocalypse_Gold's theory is right, even as how the snails reacted. i had moved the snails into a tupperware container and...

the brand name is agrilabs, its marketed as a soluble pig dewormer. the bottle says that it is pure levamisole hydrochloride.

yes it hapened right after i added the levamisole, everything i read online said it was perfectly fine to use with snails. it also said its nearly impossible to over dose, so i dont know what i did. i lost one danio, he seemed as though he had a swim bladder issue, after he died i looked him...

well i finaly got the chance to dose my tank with levamisole to get rid of the nematodes in my tank. this is what i did, first i removed my carbon filters from my penguin 350, and replaced them with regular filter pads. then i dosed the tank following the istructions on this page...

thanks for the responses, unfortunatly he died overnight. he looked realy bad when i added the meds, almost completly white :(. a friend of a friend owns a horse stable, she called her vet for me today and he found some levamisol for me, so i will treat the whole big tank with that. also gonna...

when i moved him to the quarantine tank, i had a better look at him and there are definety red worms sticking out of his anus. im thinking its nematodes. searching around i found a few ways to treat it but the only med i could find at the lfs was jungle parasite clear so im trying that. theres...

1~What type of fish is afflicted?Bolivian ram, yesterday his anus was red and swolen, today it is an open sore. one of the zebra danios has a slightly red anus but could be nothing. 2~What are your tank parameters ammonia-0 nitrites -0 nitrates -15 temp-80 pH 7.6 3~ How large is the tank...

Im sorry for the novel here but i have been doing some research and seem to only be making my self more confused. some of this stuff i think i understand but im looking for a little reassurance, so please bare with me :) i have a 55 gallon tank with two 40 watt bulbs (1.45 wpg). plants are(have...

yeah im starting to think they are danio babies too, i remember a week or so ago my girlfriend commenting on how fat one of the danios was. and now i dont see any that are fat(pregnant i guess). this is my first fry experience, when i first saw them i thought oh crap i have some sort of...

i was doing a water change today in my 55 gallon. as i was dumping the water out i noticed stuff moving around in the gunk that didnt go down the drain yet. at first i thought they were little bugs but when i picked one up it didnt have the exoxkeleton feel of an insect. i guessing they might be...
