    Sick turquoise rainbow

    Here's a picture of a turquoise rainbow I just picked up this past Sunday. I have him in a 10 gallon quarantine tank with a Boseimani and we saw a little bit of white on his tail Monday night. Assuming it was ich, I started treating for ich. The turquoise has been somewhat lethargic, and while...

    A few photos of my 155g bowfront tank and fish

    I have been trying to get pictures of my fish on my cell phone, rainbows are so active it has been very difficult! A friend brought her digital camera and we got a few better photos, I guess one of those may be in my future... Here is a front view of the tanks. Up top is a light weight...

    Fish Tank Photos.. How do you take them?

    I was trying to get some close up of a few of my fish, particularly my Boesemani rainbows to see if I can get some help in identifying whether I have male or female. These are very active fish, occasionally I get one swimming in a current near the front glass, but usually by the time my smart...

    Controlling algae

    My bowfront tank, just been established, has algae. I can see it starting to grow on some of the plant leaves, the driftwood, a little on the glass surfaces and some in the nooks and crannies of the various equipment such as the theater and fan mounts. I have only had fish in there for about...

    I have posted some pictures of the tank in the new members forum, some questions about the sick fish I have in that forum, some questions about how quickly the couple who I hired to initially help set up the tank added fish in the getting started forum. I decided that I would create a thread...

    Ohhh, ich

    So my tank was set up on the 6th, had fish added the 13th (see other threads, big 155 gallons, planted, tests show only trace amounts of ammonia and nitrites) and I watered seeing ich on the 18th. I called the couple that helped me and they said that the fish could have already been infected at...

    Has Anyone Used Metronidazole?

    This is the fish food, the medicated fish food, that was suggested to help combat the ich. My fish have been on this now for two days, and my daughter swears that there are already fewer white dots on the fish. I am not 100% certain, but it seems a little unlikely to me although I admit I have...

    Did not cycle a planted freshwater tank – advice please

    I have told some of the story of my journey to having a tank again in the new members area. Short version, had very small tanks/betas often on in previous decades. Could never keep fish alive more than a few months, but tanks were all very very small. Never cycled any of those previous tanks...

    Hello from a newbie to the forum and the hobby.

    Hello everyone, I also posted in one other forum today, trying to get to know more people who do this and find groups to learn from! It appears that this community is larger and more active, so once I found this community I decided to join here as well. For a short version, the house I bought...
