I know I was freaking out sorry �� the anthias died today at some point and yes I am sure I was not given proper advice when setting this whole thing up but it’s done now.. the last 2 times I’ve tested my water this week there has been no ammonia it was only one day that tested...

Thanks for your reply... yes I have 2 freshwater tanks as well and dealt with A very minor case compared to this in one of them. But was taken care of quickly and haven’t had any issues yet. This however is becoming a disaster!!! My anthias died this morning and I’m not sure if the other...

I just pulled him out of my main tank and put him in another tank with general cure and then see this thing on him!! What is this???

I have a male lytail anthias that I bought from my lfs about a week and a half ago that is really sick. Let me just start with I have a 40 gallon tank with live sand, live rock, powerhead ,hob filters and skimmer. No sump. I don’t even know where to start... I switched over to saltwater about 4...

I was kinda looking around at them last night what size would you suggest? I have an aqua clear 50 hob on there now. And is Hydor a good brand? Or what brand would you suggest?

I had thought about that but is a power head a good idea to put into my tank though? I will def keep you updated. Thanks for your help and advice

Ok I just left my lfs and they didn’t have that but they gave me microbe- lift lice and anchor worm treatment I’m guessing it’s along the same lines as what your referring too? The person I talked to is the one I usually always go to because he knows a lot about fish. Cichlids In Particular and...

No I don’t even know what that is?

Yes I know this but they are all born blue. This one has lost most of the blue and the stripes are almost gone as well where it was very blue and black. Also developed a spot in the last couple weeks.

Yes I just talked to my friend and he said the same thing. And he said because I have crushed coral in the bottom everything there should be fine and not to start messing with it. I just did a dose of stress coat and prime. He also suggested because nothing else is working possibly worms or...

No I’m pretty sure this particular one is possibly a male. I’m not positive yet but it’s definitely questionable. This is the first one I got that was very small when I got it. I don’t know what is wrong or what I’m doing wrong but I’m goibg crazy trying to figure it out...

I just tested the water again and I am reading a small amount of ammonia but nothing crazy. It looks a little darker in the picture than it actually is. But other than that I don’t see anything off. The only thing I was wondering and I don’t know if it would cause them to do this is I don’t have...

So I’m starting to worrie a bit I. Finished the meds put the carbon back in and did a water change and there still rubbing up against everything. I did end up taking the big guy I had out and bringing him back to my friend that gave him to me because he was just way to much so in general the...

So I just noticed this on one of them.. any idea what it is?? Tried to get a few pictures so you could see it best..

Mine don’t seem to mind the plants honestly a few of them stay in the bigger one most of the day right under the filter.. it’s weird.. and the bug guy doesn’t care where he darts to. I just rearranged it last night to see if this set up would help but he doesn’t seemed phased by anything I do...

Lol yes I think you might be right there.. I’ve moved the rocks around a few different times now that I’ve noticed him being that way and he tries to claim them all. He will dart and chase anyone out that goes in them even the little one his big butt can’t even get into... I’m going to watch him...

Thank you.. I only have 2 males as far as I know right now I had more but pulled them out as soon as they started changing and I saw signs. I take very good care of my tanks and my fish and while I know they could be in a larger tank like you said they can always be in a bigger tank but I also...

I have a 30 and while I know they would do better In a larger tank I live on the 3rd floor and in a old house and I’m not so sure my floor would support anything bigger at the moment. We are planning on moving this summer in which I will get a larger tank but at this point this is where it’s at...

Well I hope this male gets his act together because he is being very aggressive. Borderline not ok aggressive. So much to learn and figure out about these guys. It’s crazy how different fish are...

Ok.. so as I’ve shut all the lights out for the night and I’m sitting here watching I think they may be spawning... ? and that would explain the reason the male I was talking about is acting the way he was.. I guess I will just wait and see what happens. But I will continue and do the water...

I was trying to upload a video to show you what I’m talking about but it looks like my videos are not uploading just the photos correct?

Ok so maybe I am just over thinking this.. so what do you think would be best to do at this point? Finish the last day of the rapid cure... or don’t and do a water change and put my carbon back In to pull the medicine out of the water and wait and see what happens? I don’t want to be treating...

Thanks. Yes they definitely get mad if I look at them for to long. I’m not sure I’m not one to run for meds unless necessary but like I said white stringy poo is not normal right? Maybe they are ready to spawn I’m not sure but one of my bigger ones is being a complete jerk the last couple days...

Lol yes this has been quite the task so far but I haven’t lost any yet. What is the difference between a parasite and a skin fluke? And should one treatment be enough it says maximum is 3 daily treatments then 25% water change before dosing again. I don’t know what I would do without the help...

I have been changing the water about 25-30% every 4-5 days because I do notice a lot of waste and I did also read that water could be the reason but I checked all my parameters last night again and there all fine. There was nothing off there and correct me if I’m wrong but everything I read said...
