TY for your reply. This makes me a bit relaxed. To be safe perhaps I will just dose half and carry it out a bit longer. The smell and foam could be toxic when too strong. Again, thank you for taking the time to rrply.:)

I wonder how others feel about this product. Please give me your opinions. I saw a video that it is good and safe but have after using it read online it surly isn't. -Last Tuesday I started a full daily dose (&removed the carbon filter).In my tank 4tsp is a dose. It occured to me after a...

Thanks for your reply. The parasites are Neotodes/camelanus. The LFS never argued when I purchasd my second grp, I told them these guppies were infected.(the bag was containing worm remnant and these shops are low lit lighting for fish distressing element, I assume. After taking fish home, I...

My guppies were bought with parasite infestation, which I'm feeding them both Seachem garlic soaked pellets and real garlic soaked food too. My Q is the fin rot I have discovered a few are experiencing. I have this API sulfa that requires dosing the tank several times and removing the charcoal...

Thanks for the reply; however I became frustrated and impetuous after I encountered the ammonia levels high by doing this method. So instead I took minimal amounts of substrate and rinsed it over and over trying to blot dry the portions. I tested the tank water to be sure I was at .01ppm or...

My male guppies have done that. It's adorable. My females are finally getting bold enough to hand around me at the top during WCs. They are so sweet.

I prefer API. The lid on the Aqueon got stuck because the cap and lid fit too snuggly. So far my experience is too novice to know which product is best. API seems best in many instances though.

Although I am on my toes to keep the ammonia at bay after my recent episodes of spikes in both my tanks. Now I'm testing anything that enters my tanks. My question tomy seasond enthusiasts is: how long should I let a test sample in a container sit before testing? I was testing and getting the...

:confused:I'm so frazzeled. I lost tetras in Dec due to these parasites. Since I spent several months cycling and used new equiptment too. What happens? I went to a LFS and come home with the new fish (guppies) but saw the stringy remnants in the bag. In the shop they weren't noticeable. I...

Thank for the incremental steps, I do appreciate this, especially after all my devastating aftermath. (I unknowingly bought diseased fish from the big box place and made my own mistakes I assume as well. I'm going into this from better sources next time -LFS, and reading/learning as much as I'm...

Thank you for the reply but sadly I awoke to my fish dead. I have been trying to treat them for the virus they had since pretty much the start. Now I'm going to do a full fishless cycle.As sad as this is my patience in a slow cycle won't be a problem. :(

I have seen cichlids and I belive the more aggressive Tetras with them.

This may be that I'm biased but big schools of Harlequin raspboras is fascinating to see. There are so many good choices I'm sure you have. I like your tank btw! :)

Update, the 55 gallon tank fell through . They sold it to a close friend. I might still get an under substrate system for the 40G . Thanks again for the replies and shared opinions.

?? I am beginning a new tank for my tetras and am planning to transfer them to it however I want to do this right so I thought I'd ask the experts here. All I've done thus far is add 2/3 the dechlorinate water. I'm running the filter at full power and am heating it as well running the...

I am so sorry . :(

I have read several complaints over them as well. However many I have found that have always had success rates with them too. A Co worker of my hubby threw in the UGF with used 55G he's selling us. I was planning to get it up and running for about a month cycle. I just didn't want the...

Thanks. :) The 55G we're buying comes with it and before that our LFS guy educated us on them and it seemed reasonable. Our previous tank we used the HOB one but it seemed funky . We figured since we are on top of the vacuum care and other maintenance , this might be best.

meant UGF . My Droid edited my text. sorry.

What is the optimal allotment of gravel to use with the US plates? We're planning to cycle a 40G breeder & a 55G. Non planted. Thank you for any wisdom shared. :)

Mine are luckily the short fin ones. Thank you.

Wow. That must be paradise to relax with them. I'd say they are lucky fish. :)

Thank you. :)

Thank you for the replies. :) If I added zebra Danios would the 2 schools BST\ZD not be nippy with about 7 BSTs? Curiously would 9 BSTs with 7 ZDs be too much stock in a 20g L? I can't part with my BSTs because they have seen me through my reestablishing my aqua powers, so to speak. :D The only...

I was an aquarium enthusiast over 25 years ago but recently decided to make a new splash back into the world of my gilled friends. Thank you for allowing me to join this community. I hope to learn a lot.:fish2:
