Double post.

I don't think so. I've had the rainbows for almost a year. I did however add the angels to the tank about a week ago. Was thinking it could be fungal. Any suggestions on what type of meds to use? I have a bottle of ich attack which is treatment for ich, protozoans, and dinoflagellates?

Another pic... Notice the deterioration on both sides of body and fin.

Hey all, long time lurker. Have an M. parva Rainbow fish that looks like was in a fight. Anyone have any idea what it could be? 55 gallon 5 angels 7 M. Parva rainbows 5 Bosemi rainbows 2 dojo's 3 cats 1 peacock eel Temp average 75 25% water changes a month

Thanks for the reply but my question is whether or not my setup will allow me to fit a few more fish...

Thanks for the replies. I was assured by the LFS that the crabs were freshwater and were fully aquatic... Had them for about 3 months with no problems. Had 6 loaches but 3 of them got sucked into my canister filter =/ Wanted 3 Oto's but the LFS only had 1 left and haven't gotten around to...

So, here's what I have currently: Glass Cats: 5 Striped Kuhli Loach: 3 Golden Dojo Loach: 1 Freshwater Crabs: 4 Melanotaenia Parva Rainbow: 4 Golden Killifish: 3 Boeseman Rainbow: 5 Dwarf Grourami: 1 Oto: 1 Total: 27 Want to add 5 more Melanotaenia Parva Rainbow's (get 2" max), maybe...

So realistically, how many more fish could I stock? Ideally, I would like to get 10 rainbow fish...

Yes, the shark apparently does not get along with other sharks, especially when they get older. I may get a few more kuhli loaches but I understand that the dojo can be on is own.

I have an opportunity to purchase 6 rare parva rainbow fish but want to make sure that my 5 gallon isn't overstocked. My current list: 5 glass cats 4 kuhli and 1 golden dojo loach 3 golden killifish 3 black phantom tetras 2 freshwater crabs 2 otos 1 dwarf gourami 1 red tailed shark 4 platys...

Hey brother, I'm relatively new to the hobby as well. Actually, I had 3 50 - 60 gallon tanks when I was a kid that I maintained with my parents. I recently purchased a 55 gallon tank and setup a planted tank. I also like really colorful fish as well and this is what I have so far: 5 glass cats...

Pics attached. 1st pic is the new setup. 2nd and 3rd pics are post cycle. Recently added the following: 6 long-tailed danios 1 flame dwarf gourami 3 glass cats (would've purchased 6 but theylfs only had 3) 5 bundles of Anacharis Just purchased the Fluval 405 and getting rid of the HOB filter...

Thanks for the advice! Curious though, why are the Hygro's illegal to ship across state lines?

Well, I saw the Boesemani Rainbows in person today and they aren't as colorful as I thought they would be so I probably won't be purchasing them. I really like the Black Kuhlii Loaches so I wouldn't have a problem with 5 of them =) Do you know what kind of moss can I use to affix onto my driftwood?

Hey guys, have a 55g tank with a mixture of 60lbs of sand and fluorite as a substrate, a pair of t5 HO florousent bulbs, 3 large pieces of driftwood, and 5 bundles of Anacharis. Looking to add more plants but would love to add some color. Help!
