I love the photos! Is your decor all plastic?

Pretty tank :)

Hi all, I inherited 2 Kois of 5 inches each. I am aware they grow huge but before they do so, what other fish can befriend them in a 90 gallon aquarium? Thanks!

Hi everyone, Any fish addicts from Montreal? :) I'm looking to redecorate my 'show tank'. Any suggestions on LFS around here?

It may indicate a lack of oxygen in the tank or water trouble.

Thanks for your input ChileRelleno. I have read about its toxicity when administered intravenously in too great a dose but nothing when it's dissolved in the water (have you read anything on that?). I am curious to know if anyone has attempted it in water and the results since it is being...

I got some from work :D I can dilute and titrate it but I don't know the dose. I know the powdered form is sold for fish.

Hi, would anyone know the dose of gentamicin (gram negative antibiotic) for livebearers per gallon of water?

My quarantine tank is going through a mini cycle. The nitrite level was at 1 yesterday...I did a 40% water change and the nitrite is now at 0.5, ammonia 0. What level of nitrite causes fish to die from its toxicity... Should I do another pwc or wait till it turns to nitrate?

Thank you for your advice and the info. I have read most of the articles you've mentioned. Great advice. I'm continuing the heat and salt treatment.

Although eggs aren't veggies... bits of boiled egg yolk are great for fry. :)

Sorry for your loss :(

Thanks for the moral support! haha I'll hope for the best! ;)

Hurray for money-saving ideas! :D Thanks. How did you figure your dosage of 1 drop per 10 gallons?

Which makes me wonder...does seeding a filter in an aquarium also carry the risk of seeding diseases in it??

Yeah I quarantine my fish. The guppy disease has nothing to do with that of the newly bought quarantined ones...unless bacteria and parasites can teleport of course.

Oh no :(

I should have put 2 pictures to compare... First picture is what one would expect a normal-looking female belly to be. Second picture is what my guppy looks like.

Thanks for your suggestions. The white spot came off today, as it usually does in ich after 3-7 days apparently. Keeping up with the salt treatment.

Where does one get Melaleuca leucadendron and Pimenta racemosa pure oils?

Interesting. Rickets is from a deficiency of what you mentioned and it doesn't seem to affect reproduction or behavior. Any idea as to why her belly is flat though? That is the bothersome part.

Hi! My female guppy has developed a flat belly for a couple of weeks now. Her underbelly seems particular flat or even concave and the scales on the underbelly only seem to protrude. I noticed other guppies having this in the past before dying later on. She is otherwise swimming ok and eating...

Great thread. If I may add a question: Do you quarantine plants??

According to some references, ich treatment is up to 1 tablespoon per gallon, some recommend 2-3 tablespoon per 5 gallons. So I'm aiming the 3-4 tablespoon for my QT tank. I wish I could take a picture of that white spot but it's just so small. The elongated part of it came off, now there's...

One of my platy flashes. Another has some white spot (looks a bit 'longer' than the typical grain-of-salt-ich) near the eye. And another has some white on the edge of its fin, it keeps that fin closed most of the time. I am assuming it's ich infection? I just got the fishes from a LFS and...
