I have treated hole in the head many times. Though the debate is out on the exact cause Ill side with water condition and dietary on Oscars. With Angelfish ill go with stress and diet. Either case early treatment is a must and isolation. What I found to work is Metronidazole for whole in...

Both of those conditions stem from water conditions followed by secondary infections. With all those meds there immune system must be about zero and I would guess there insides can not look good with that much medication. how much food were you feeding them? I find the biggest problem with...

My friend has a 60 gal with 2 lg koi 1 comet and 1 lg clown loach and it looks crowded. hes running a small pool filter on it. Even your filter rated for a hundred gallons I bet is not efficient for the amount of fish you have in your tank now. I don't think its going to take much for...

Not to be rude but there is no such thing as a goldfish bowl. Please read some of the threads on goldfish. If you want fish in a bowl get a couple of common guppys. It is only produced by manufactures that care nothing about fish. Only making money.

I breed male guppies to female mollies. I only use Mexican green mollie females. The Mexican female has no problem breeding with male guppies. The fry comes out normal. I then breed the male hybrid with my chocolate chip Mexican or my black redtail mollies.

you can buy airline control valve to control the amount of air into the tank. The fish can take a higher ph . You should have used your pond water for the QT tank. The ph needs to rise slowly not fast. Fish can get ph shock. Hope your fish responds to the meds.
