Thank you for the response and pictures! That is a beautiful tank and they would love it. I have a light that has a blue setting so that would be perfect at night. Thanks again I think I'm gonna run with this one[emoji16]

Hey everyone! I took down my saltwater tank and decided to just put my freshwater fish in the tank, they are currently in a 110 gallon. I need to restock my tank as I had larger fish in it for the last 5 or so years, the only fish left are the "newer" additions. I have a giant danio and a clown...

That's crazy! I'm not surprised thou, my scopes tang won't eat algae sheets he prefers $20 cleaner shrimp [emoji24]. So it goes to show that you just never know. I was originally going to put a pair in my 125 because I only have the tang and a pj Cardinal but I'm worried he will kill them. It's...

Honestly I am only going to be setting up another tank if it's for the Banngai. I don't have the space right now for a different size. Everything I've read says that they only become aggressive after a pair is made. I know they can have their own personalities as I have a homicidal scopas tang...

Hi everyone! I have seen some mixed info on tank sizes for these guys. I know they generally don't swim much, I have a PJ Cardinal in my 125 and he hardly moves. So does the same go for the Banggai as well? I want to put a pair in an aqueon evolve 8, about 8 gallons. It will only house the pair...

I would definitely qt at least 2 weeks just to be safe. They should be ok unless they are large.

Have you looked up nematodes to see if they match?

I would recheck the levels and then dose the ammonia to 4ppm and then retest 24 hrs later there should be a change in nitrites. Another option is a water change in case the cycle stalled.

I may be wrong but as far as I know it doesn't consume the fish it just burrows in the skin. It's possible that the fish has a fungus or another type of disease. Can you get a picture of it?

Do you have a spare tank to qt him in? He might not be taking the treatment as we'll this time.

Hi Alyssa! Welcome to the forum! Sorry to hear about your fishy we have all been there :( I love the name of your new fishy btw :)

I think the simple green or clean can't remember :) should help remove them. I know CLR would remove the stains but I doubt it's safe to use in an aquarium.

Ghost shrimp are good scavengers but depending on the area you may only encounter bad stock. In my area they are mainly used as feeders so they are not well cared for. Try aqua bid they have many shrimp choices and the ones I've purchased were very nice.

I agree it will most likely take some time to see a spike of ammonia. Do you know what your ph is? Driftwood lowers ph and when ph drops too low the bacteria cannot do what it needs to.

Any non chain pet store will usually take in fish. Certain petcos and petsmarts will as well. Call around first to make sure.
