no problem, I hope he is getting better, stress and ne tanks can do funny things to fish alot like us sometimes, they dont like change much

carbon kills the good bactria as it is forming, once the good bactria has attached itself to objects and gravel even on the glass then carbon can be re added, it is only while you are trying to boost your good bactria in the tank the carbon needs to be removed when adding most chemical meds...

Angels can be breed in community tanks, the only problem with this is that the fry get eaten by the other fish, once the spawn or pair you could move them to a tank on thier own, angels are one of the easist fish to breed they do all the work

bumble bee goby are another great fry eaters, i had one of each the bumble goby and the peacock eel in my platty/sword/guppy tank to control fry they did an awesome job

today is a puzzle day, i have got 3 dead corys in my 4ft com tank, i havent changed anything and it looks to be disease free, the water is crystal clear like always and my water stats are spot on, so i am wondering if they died of old age, it is a shame they were breeders also, i guess it is a...

your welcome ghostknife, i am happy to help the foxes are nice looking fish and once it is settled in the tank your should see it go after the hair algae, and before you know it the algae will be gone and then the fox will stop in the middle of the tank nibbling on whatever flows past it

LOL oh well, remember you are in the hope for the best right now, let the tank cycle the mela fix through and retest this time tom, you can always add more mela fix if needed and your welcome

no i think you have changed the good bactria ratio, and have not got enough good bactria in the tank, hense the increase in you bad water stats now you can correct this fairly easily but know that the next 24hrs will be a hope for the best mela fix containers good bactria that can helpin...

What type of filteration are you using?? and did you clean the filter out when you were changing the tank?

you can do a water change, but melafix is weak and really doesnt do much to the diseases it says it helps, the fin rot med might run along side the melafix you would need to talk to the LFS, i have never run either along side each other

i have also been thinking about the water movement in the tank, when a fish dies and you dont know it, i have found it is covered in this white algae, which is why i think this betta has this from lack of water flow and movement

sounds like fin rot You will need to go buy a fin rot med, melafix wont fix it

wait until it clears, This is going to sound weird, but is it possible it is algae on him, yep weird, see the fungul should have cleared it, and it hasnt, now that he is getting better i was thinking it may be an algae on him, can you try very very carefully to wipe it off? does it clear...

i have a green severum male also, took me a while to sex him I have a pair a gold severum female, they are huge LOL

that is a small list of fish, but sounds great, dont forget to get an alage eater possibly a bristle nose that will help you reduce your alage i would add more fish to that size tank, LOL but that me

I have a male betta in with gouramis, also with bala shark and angels, widows, congos and BN with no drama at all my other fish are huge and they dont even go near him so i am going to say that it depends on a few things tank size, and how the community fish act together, not by what they are...

the neons may have a worse case of the ich, keep treating them and hope for the best, as for the plants i am not sure, i hope someone can help you

I am the same as Zagz i need a pic to have a look It could be a number of issues, from tumours to black spot, unsure without a pic

if the fish is acting and looking fine, I wouldnt worry to much, some fish just over feed and get fat

A few tank pics, these dont look the same any more the 3ft with the platties was my very first tank set up I have all these tanks still will post up new pics of the tanks shortly

LOL they sure are, the silver shouldnt be afraid of the angels, It is bigger then them

ok, well now i have introduced myself and told you about me and my tanks, i thought i would add an update I have had my severums spawn, and my jewels, in the same tank, LOL alot of agression in there at the moment, the acara is hiding and attacking the green male severum when he swims pass, the...
