I change at least 20% of the water every week and I thaw the foods in water before I put them in the tank. I just found my canister filter flow was terrible and I cleaned the intake and sponge inside the canister, now flow is great. All water peramiters have been spot on for the life of the...

You guys might be right I read secondary symptoms and it looks like that's whats happening. The problem now is to figure out what is causing it. I don't use carbon, the water preamiters are always great, their diet consist of flake food, frozen blood worms, frozen brine shrimp and ghost...

I don't think so, I've never seen any aggression. One of the bloated fish died last night and the other bloated fish seems ok for now. I isolated the fish in a bucket and I'm treating them with salt and antibiotics. The strange thing is I can't figure out hole in the head in one fish...

I had six angle fish in my 75 gallon for the past year no problems. Then one developed hole in the head and died about two weeks ago. Now two more have bloated bellies and are almost dead and another has what looks like two bite marks on each side of his belly. I have the sick ones in...

I know I'll have to upgrade some time

75, thats old. I just moved the fiish in the picture to my other 20 gallon thank. He's the only fish I've seen show aggression. Anyone know the type of fish in the picture I posted?

5 other angles, 2 Bala Sharks, 3 Clown Loach's,4 siemes algae eaters and 4 otto's. And the attached picture of a fish I bought and have no idea what it is. The only aggression I've seen is from the fish in the picture but he only chases a fish every once and a while never bites anyone and I...

I think my fish is wounded. Dose this look like a bite? How do I treat him, I'd hate to loose him I've had him a while. I have never seen any aggressive actions from my fish, I'm not sure how this happened.

I run a UV sterilizer it took care of my green water problem.

I started with the red sea system and after 2 months it stopped working. I then order and good regulator and defuser. The difference is amazing, my paint ball co2 cylinders last a lot longer. Go with a quality system it will save you money in the long run. I bought 7 paint ball co2 cylinders...

The fish are fine now, I'll keep PH around 7.0 - 7.2.

The red sea CO2 indicator fluid that came with it , its says to mix it with aquarium water.. Thats must be my problem, its cheap and not accurate with my high KH water.

I'm a little confused on how to read my co2 levels. I have pressurized co2 on my 75 gallon planted tank and a red sea drop checker. When the drop checker turns a light green the fish seem stressed and are gasping for air, the fish are not at the surface but seem to breath fast and gasp. But...

Using the well water would be easier, I was reading the salt in a water softener is not good for plants. I was going to do 30% water changes everyday to try to get the salt out of the tank.

Well Water: PH 7.8 GH 23 KH 14 Softened Water with a salt water softener PH7.8 GH1 KH14 RO Water GH >1 KH 3

I have a 75 gallon plated tank. I have well water, a softener and I also have RO water. But I'm not sure which water I should use for my tank, I used the hard water in my old 20 gallon planted tank then switch to the soft water for my 75 gallon. I've been reading the water softened with salt...

I have an update, I was getting really good co2 readings my ph droped from 7.6 to 6.6 after I added a second bottle. But now my fish have a bacterial infection and I've been adding antibiotics to the aquarium and the PH has risen back to 7.6. I'm still using two bottle for the co2 but I've...

The water parameters are perfect, I have tested them at least three times a week since i setup the tank. Thats why I think it must be bacterial. I have held off with the treatments because I didn't want to kill my bio filter but I'm running out of options. I've done 3 25% water changes this...

Now my catdfish has a white eye it is gasping! I have no idea what is going on. I started dosing Melafix and Pimafix to kill any infections. Anyone got any other ideas? The bala shark has a white patch below his top fin. Should I use antibiotics?

I wondering if the Excel fert Im using is causing problems, I just added a dose and the fish don't seem to like it. I also tested the Ammonia again and its zero. I'm going to lay off the excel for a while and see what happens.

I have well water so i add water conditioner and I turned on the air stone. Its a 20 gallon tank with 8 small fish, the Bala shark is the largest fish.

Brand new, but it could have been sitting on the shelf a while. Its Tetra Test Laborett. So far today I've vacuumed the bottom and did a 50% water change. Should I do anything else? I have Tetra Nitraban, should I use it? The funny thing is may tank has been set up for 3 months and I...

I did a 50% water change 4 hours before the test so maybe my readings aren't accurate. From my research it looks like Ammonia Poisoning. Fish Disease - Ammonia Poisoning Symptoms: Fish gasp for breath at the water surface Purple or red gills Fish is lethargic Loss of appetite Fish lays at...

NH3,NH4 0mgl NO2 > 0.3mgl I don't have a nitrate reading, the kit I bought doesn't test for nitrate, but my old kit gave me a zero reading a week ago, before I added the lava rocks and drift wood.

Here is a pic you can see a little red.
