Thank you everyone! We bought a betta today. His name is Bettamaxx. He seems to be enjoying his new home. :D

So.... the filter is too powerful for the neon tetras?

Regarding the neon tetras.... the aquarium we have is a 5 gal (from Petco) Mini-Bow with the Whisper Power Filter. Is this filter too powerful for the neon tetras?

Thank you very much for all of the replies! I think the betta died from old age. My daughter is still grieving for bettaray, but is also excited about getting a new fish eventually. Thanks again!

Hi.... we had a betta, but he died tonight. My 6-year old daughter would like a new fish. What beginner fish would you recommend that won't outgrow the tank? TIA, Natalie

What kind of salt, iodized table salt? His eye does look better now. It is not as cloudy and the swelling seems to have decreased.

Thank you for the quick reply. I will watch "Fat Albert" very closely this week.

Hi, our black moor has a puffy eye. He is eating normally. The water quality wasn't good. We have changed his water twice since Friday morning. Will this clear up with water changes or do I need medication? TIA, Natalie

Thanks for the reply. The two fish are remaining from a horrible case of ich. It killed the yellow tang and the Heniochus butterfly. I had three perculas to begin with. The clarkii clownfish (returned to the LFS) killed one of them and the other one carpet surfed. I like the Citron Clown...

Hi.. My remaining fish are 1 royal gramma & 1 percula clownfish. I also have a chocolate chip starfish. We have a 55 gal tank. What fish would you suggest? The two fish that we have left like to hide. So, I wanted to get a fish that wouldn't mind being out in the open. Also, would like...

I would start treatment too. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way. My yellow tang died last week. He didn't have any visible signs of ich, just scratching. I was already treating the tank for ich, but I guess it was too late. I plan to buy another tang (after leaving the main tank...

I bought fresh garlic & peas. I also tested the water in the QT: Ammonia .4 Nitrite 0 Ph 8.2 Nitrate 0 I know the Ammonia should be 0, but is the Ph o.k.?

Steve, Each time I click on "hyposalinity", I get an error message & it sends a report to microsoft. What is hyposalinity? I did a search on this forum & everyone talks about it, but I haven't been able to find out exactly what it is. What brand name antibiotic do you recommend? I really...

Is there anything else I can do for the remaining fish? Or is it up to them now?

Thanks for the reply. I treated the main tank w Cupramine several weeks ago & it didn't work. I have the 20 qt for the now remaining clownfish & royal gramma. The Cuprisorb is to remove the copper from the main tank. So, you don't think I need to do any water changes for the main tank? The...

Gill (Butterfly) died last night. He was my favorite fish. :cry: Hopefully, the gramma & clownfish will survive. They never seemed to be as affected by the ich as the other fish. The gramma won't come out of the sunken ship. I think he's still upset about being moved. I'll leave the...

We moved the fish before we received your reply (we were freaking out). The butterfly looks alot better. The visible ich spots are for the most part gone. The yellow tang died "Master Tang" :cry: He hasn't looked well for awhile. He was a very light yellow, almost white. I bought "Zoe" to...

I bought the 20 gal QT. I removed some LS from the 10 gal QT and added it to the 20 gal. What is the least stressful way to move the fish from the main tank to the QT? The butterfly looks really rough. He is covered with ich & his fins are frayed. How long should I wait until I move the fish?

Thanks. I will buy a 20 gal QT tomorrow. :)

Steve, do you think that putting the 4 fish in a new 20 qt tank is a bad idea? The fish are all juveniles & are small. We have cats & I don't think the lid to the rubbermaid containers will fit with the filter/heater, will they? The cats would love to "play" with the fish. My husband wants...

I am so frustrated! The fish in the 55 gal are showing physical signs of ich. I have spent so much money on getting rid of the ich. What should I do? What about this: get all of the copper out of the main tank, then move the fish to the 10 gal QT and move the inverts to the 55 gal. Will...

We used Cupramine (Buffered Action Copper). The last time I used it was Nov 8. We have recently done several water changes which has reduced the copper level greatly. We purchased CupriSorb from the LFS, but haven't used it yet. We don't have any LR. Should I attached the Nori/seaweed...

Thanks!

Thank you for the replies. My friends said that maybe he/she watched "Finding Nemo"! My daughter does watch it in the same room. :wink: I think I have all of the escape routes blocked now. The other clownfish seems really lonely now. Would it be ok to buy another one? I originally had...

Steve S, Can I substitute "seawood selects" for Nori? My LFS has never heard of Nori. The Seaweed Selects are in sheets also. Thanks, Natalie
