Hey everyone, My wife and I were thinking about getting the kids a new tank for Christmas. The only we have now is about 15 years old and the silicone caulk in it comes off a little more every time I clean it and it is, in general, just kind of beat up. Anyways, I was looking and we both...

I was just wondering.... A couple of days ago I posted about a sick fish of mine that is laying on the bottom and then swimming straight up sporadically. I have Quick Cure for Ick and other Protozoan Parasites, mild Fluke outbreaks, Costia, Chilodonell, and Trichondina. I didn't see the white...

I think there might be a few of those spots that were in the picture but I can't be positive. Nothing new, in or around the tank.

The Quick Cure says it is a treatment for Ick and other Protozoan Parasites, mild Fluke outbreaks, Costia, Chilodonell, and Trichondina (whatever all that is).

I have a dip stick to see what the levels are....everything is fine

An angel of mine looks sick. It is swimming strangely and going straight up then coming back down to the rocks and kind of just laying there! Every other fish looks and is swimming fine. The sick angel's fins are not spread out and I'm not sure but I might see white dots, ick. I have Quick...

Just today I cleaned out my 6gal Nano cube. I took about the filter and cleaned everything. The thing that spins inside the pump seems to have broke because it make really loud noises and isn't pumping water. What should I do? Where should I buy a replacement? Do I have to order it? How...

No, I haven't. Could you recommend anything? This might be completely wrong but I was thinking if it can't swim right then there might be something wrong with its fins. Is fin rot a possibility? Thank you for all your help through this long and drawn out thing!

OK so its been a couple of weeks since I have posted and there is still no news on the fish. I have purchased a 10gal filter for the tank. I'm still doing frequent water changes. I don't know what to do. There is no change. One thing I have noticed about the fish is that when I feed it, it...

Also, since I don't see anything on the fish its, I'm assuming, not a parasite on the fish or ich or anything like that. So, is it ok to switch filters back and forth?

Ok...well I guess no news, is good news. It went behind the rock that I put in the tank. I thought it went there to die. I was even about to take it out and then the fish started swimming around again. What I have been doing is switching my 50gal filter back and forth. I can't find a LFS in...

Ok I went out today and got the actual stuff called Stess Coat. Is this the same as the Water Conditioner? Also, should I only put in Stress Coat when I change water? Making the big assumption that the Angel makes it, how should I reintroduce it to the regular tank? Other than that, I think...

The Angel seems to be doing a little better. I can't really find a filter that is only for a 5gal tank. I really don't want to sink too much more money into this. I am very incouraged with the Angel though. It still seems to be laying on its side alot but it does get up to swim every once...

Well I went out and spent $40 on an $8 fish. I bought a 5gal tank, air pump, air stone, and some AmQuel (removes nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, cholamines, and chlorine). Everything was fine except my nitrates seemed a bit high. One time I measured it, it was at the unsafe, the next time it was...

Thanks TCT. What if the water is fine? Should I still put it in a QT?
