Well, a new twist to my "hurt" fish. Yesterday night I saw him and he seemed to have white fuzz all over him. It doesn't look like ich because it's not spots. But as I've only had this tank for 8 months now, it's hard for me to tell. When I got home today, he was lying on the bottom...

I don't see any dort of discoloration. The hurt one looks like all the other 2 except that he's swimming funny and one fin doesn't look like it's working. The water is normal (ph 7.0, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 5ppm nitrate, kh 116.35 ppm, negligable gh).

By "rinse", I'm assuming you don't mean under tap water. Do I just sorta swish it around in discarded aquarium water?

One of my original Zebra Danios seems to have hurt himself or got hurt and I was wondering if there is anything I can do about it. I bought the tank shortly before Christmas last year and he was one of 4 danios I got to cycle the tank with. I woke up this morning to find him swiming at an...

I have a 20gal established community tank with a Tetra (I think) WhisperFilter 20 power filter that hangs on the back. I noticed today (not for the first time) that a lot of water was just overflowing the filter and coming straight back out instead of going through the mechanical and bio filter...

Well that's true, I hadn't thought about that. I doubt I would ever order fish from overseas (I'm pretty sure that Fedex is not exactly first-class for a fish). But is the tank still going to be subject to big pH shifts without anything to buffer?

I have a fully cycled (0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, minimal nitrate) 20 gal tank with 8 platies, 8 neon tetras, 3 zebra danios, and a bushynose pleco. The only issue I have is with the city water supply being very soft and thus acidic. Measuring the KH and GH I get 17.9ppm for each (both turn to...
