Okay, so I've had a tank set up since April, abouts, of 2015... 40gal Small Koi x1 Pictus Catfish x1 Plecostomus x1 Marineland Penguin 200 or something, "Bio-wheel" filter, at the moment... HOB filter system. API big test kit (the one with the liquid additives and test tubes) shows all levels...

My friend has an extremely well-established (a few years old, two HUGE goldfish - probably 1.5lb fish) tank, and is willing to donate bacteria to me for fishless cycling purposes, but I don't know if he wants me cutting up his current filter... Would it be sufficient to just get a bunch of good...

So my two pictus came down with ich and Petco's "herbal" ich treatment did nothing... My plan now is to bleach the tank, pump, and structures, and restart from scratch... This time, though, I have AA experts on my side! So what would be the best course of action, AA, for a catfish tank from...

CRAP!! So I figured with a google search that my pictus now have Ich! Stupid dat-gummed parasites! >:\ Now I will have to wait until Petco opens to get Ich-curing stuff... A website recommended something like quinine hydrochloride because they're sensitive to malachite green? Sound about right?

Just wondering what everyone does for maintenance every week/month/etc. My mom usually did a 50% every week and a 100% every month or so... I have done one 100% and a 90% mainly to clean the yech of minnow from the tank... I think my next will be a 75%. - CK

Figured I'd post a pic of my current setup. The Kyoto between the bubbler and the pot is moved... again... Will probably have to replant it yet again later today too. I might have to move that one, because Loki doesn't seem to like it there. - CK

Hi! This is my first real tank. We had a goldfish/danio/tetra tank for many many years when I was a kid, and when I was a teenager I had a little 5gal tank of bala's that didn't last very long... I started this one originally as a way to keep baitfish alive between fishing outings, but regular...

(wasn't sure where to put this, so if it's in the wrong spot, forgive me...) So I started a tank originally to keep my baitfish for fishing... Most of my minnows had died off since, so I bought three little Pictus cats from Walmart; I love catfish, and these guys are so pretty with their long...
