All my tetras died in the night :( I was picking up the aquarium today. I will still pick it up and put some of the rocks in my tank to get the good bacteria flowing. Hopefully the shrimp survives, I googled it and apparently they cannot carry Ich so that is good. My only survivor. Thank you...

Ugh, even somepet stores carry crap aquariums like that. I have a 3 gallon for a betta and a neon tetra and i wouldnt go smaller then that for them. I hope your fish pulls through but its not looking good :(

So one more question, last one I promise lol. How do I get rid of Ich after I remove the fish? Can I empty it and will hot water and scrubbing work to get rid of it in the aquarium? I'm buying a small aquarium off a friend, its already started and I'm going to keep the neons and shrimp in there...

I'm keeping it going, I am just so disheartened now :( I have never had Ich before, this is a first. I had fish for about 12 years, never any issues whatsoever. Is there something I should buy? I dont want to do the meds because I'm sure it would only cause them more stress so I will try the...

I've done a big water change today and will do more every day. I was doing it every 3 days, another mistake on my part. *bangs head* Now that my entire tank has Ich I am not quite sure what to do. I think I may start all over again with healthier stock... Do shrimps carry the disease? He seems...

Do all fish stores have Ich? I know its fairly common, what should I do? Should I try to treat it or? If I up the temp or add anything will it make the cycling worst?

Never mind my question about moving the neon tetras, they all have Ich. :*(

Great thread, thank you!! I am literally broke until Friday due to a miscalculation of funds by my S.O, so I absolutely have to wait until then to get the testing kit. -7 dollars in my chequing account :shocked!: My last pink tetra is dying. :( She has ich spots all over her, this just...

Thanks guys, I will do that. I was told by two fish people, one worked at PetSmart, the other at the local fish store that I would be fine without cycling and that the ammonia levels might cause some stress at the three week point. I should have trusted my gut. I know I didnt cycle when I first...

Peas for bettas, how neat, I am going to give my guy some and see if he likes it!! Thanks for the tip :)

Wow, how irresponsible of them. Are they legally allowed to sell alligators, crocs or Caymans?? I think if you are selling that type of animal, it should ONLY be from a breeder. never from a shop like that! Crocs are not an impulse buy.

Hi guys! I have had fish for years and then went on a two year hiatus when my fish finally died out after many years of companionship. I've always had fresh water aquariums, with gouramis, guppies, tetras, mollies, goldfish, snails, bettas, etc. I've never ever had problems with my tanks, my...

Hello there, Glad to be here. I have had aquariums for years and after a two year hiatus I am back into it. I really look forward to learning more about fishies and I am glad to have a place to learn. Thanks for having me.
