UPDATE! No more black spots! Fish are swimming happily.

Hello, I have 3 red blood parrot fish (2 inches), 1 cichlid severum (2inches), 1 Oscar (3 inches) and 1 chocolate zebra planco. I have a 46 gallon tank, filter canister penguin 200 for 50 gallons, heater at 79 degrees. I would love to add at least 1 more fish. My local pet store has 3 that I am...

Ok the Blood Parrot Fish that had the black spots still has them, but they seem to be getting a little smaller but they are still very visible. I still don't know what happened to him but none of the other fish have any black spots on them (2 other blood parrot fish, 1 cichlids severum and 1...

Thank you so much! This helps me. I will separate him for a day or 2.

Anyone?...

Hi, I have 3 red blood parrot fish and I saw 2 of them kissing, matting, or fighting yesterday and today one of my fish has a black lip and a few black spots on him. I tried separating them a few times by tapping on the glass of my tank. They separated and then went back at each other several...

Ok, once I put tap water in buckets, and add the salts and solution to make it water safe, how long will it take for my bucket water to be safe before I can add it to my tank with fish in it?

Here is my blue lobster and my chocolate zebra planco

But I am doing somethywrong because my water seems cloudy and my nitrates are off the charts! I don't know what to do with the gold fish. The store won't take them back and I only have one fish tank.

Filter wise I have a Penguin 200 for 50 gallons (my tank is 46). I keep the water temperature at 79 degrees. I bought the goldfish to test the water first and to ensure they wouldn't die before I got my other fish. My Oscar and 3 parrot fish prefer ghost shrimp to eat than goldfish. And my blue...

Thank you all. I replaced another 8 gallons last night. I let the water sit outside to room temperature with the solutions I've always used for total of 3 hours. I replaced 8 gallons from the tank and put in the new water. All fish are alive this morning, including 5 of the original gold fish I...
