Ah My Friend ... The last fish that died had cottony-puffy stuff over both fins. Poor thing was hiding behind a rock. Took me awhile to find him. Looked like a fungus to me. Very cottony, puffy. When he was moving, it was to race around like crazy and then to settle back to hiding. You would...

Okay ... another fish (the last corie) had fungus all over it and died. Now I am left with just 3 fish! Maybe it's not ich, maybe it is ... I am ready to throw in the towel. I am keeping the heat up but all I really want to do is clean, clean, clean that tank out!!!!!!!!!! *sigh* My daughter...

Oh Boy ... It's been quite a week for me. The angel died :cry: . So sad since they are my FAVORITE fish and the corie died also. *sigh* I have elevated the temp slowly each day and I am currently at 86 degrees. Trying to get to 87 just to be safe. I've increased the aeration also. Now I am...

Back again ... and now I am wondering if I don't have Ich again! I have been watching the fish closely. The ones left in the main tank are going crazy today. Darting all over, swimming up and down the glass. The pleco (who is normally very sedate) is all over the place. 8O I am really now...

Thanks so much for the reply. I have stressed over this so much. The Angel that I QT'd actually seems to be breathing a lot better. I don't think that I have Ich. I survived that debacle last year using the heat treatment that I got from Allie on this site. The filter system I am using is a...

I am going to try and answer all these questions the best that I can. And I will probably be jumping around. But the main story is my fish are dying left and right for a few months now. Haven't added new fish in 7 months. Clean tank regularly and change filter. As in regulary, I mean weekly...

Well not sure what is going on with one of my female mollies ... she is very fat and sticking to the bottom. Mouth is constantly going as if trying to take in more water. Thought maybe PG but that doesn't seem to be the case. Not sure if she is constipated or not. Haven't really seen her poo...

We are going on a 11 day vacation and I am going out to get an automatic feeder but I have a few questions. When I put it on my tank (it's a hex tank) and with the way the top is set up I will have to leave it open to accommodate the feeder. I am worried some fish will jump ship while I'm gone...

Have you checked your parameters lately? I know that gouramis go to the surface because they are also able to "breathe".

Wish I could get a pic of my Tetra. Mango's description of guppy sounds just like mine except he hangs out at the bottom in the back of the tank but is active at feeding time. Finally was able to QT him last night.

He's back in the main tank and doing quite well. The Angels have been picking on him though. I did see him fight back this mornin so I think he's his old self. Now I have a tetra in the QT Tank. Not sure what is up with him. His gills are sticking out and red and belly is fat. I was FINALLY able...

I just lost 2 bumblebee gobies. :cry: The first within 2 weeks. The second after 2 months. I didn't read enough up on them. They need live food and I was feeding flake. The second one survived my nightmare of a cycling issue but died shortly afterwards though. Now that I am more educated on...

I got 3 mollies a while ago (1 male and 2 females). The 2 females beat the heck out of the male 8O I had to QT him for a while cuz they ate his tail! Poor guy was so stressed out. I put him back in with them after about a week and the seem to be doing okay now. His tail is even growing back...

Third treatment in today and he's a happy camper I think he misses all of his buddies. The spot is shriking. I am hoping that I can put him back in the main tank next week.

I just went through this myself and let me tell you it took close to 2 months and I am very happy now. My ammonia levels were off the charts. It took about a month before I saw them drop and for the nitrites to rise. I was doing daily water changes (sometimes every other day and doing anywhere...

This has been an exciting night. They are black and white marbled and are truly very pretty to look at. Yes, I did get a good look. They looked exactly as you said. Is the short, stubbier one the female? They did lay around 5ish. We left the house at 430p to go to dinner and returned at 545p...

... and then my spotted tailfin catfish came along and sucked them all up 8O :roll: :? :x This all came about so quickly. I noticed today that they were cleaning a couple of columns on the parthaenon like crazy and chasing away any fish that got too close. Their ovipositors were also...

Fruitbait ... Thanks. So far I have put in 2 treatments. The third is on Friday (going by package instructions).

Ugh ... I am just reading this post and this is exactly what my Gourami has. I QT'd him on Sunday and started treatments on Tuesday using Maracide. I sure hope I am using the right meds. I stood reading all the packages for what seems like hours!

Hi Alli, How fat? Looking plump. All three were quite trim and suddenly this one is not. No scales sticking out. Not pine cone looking at all. The only other thing about the fish is that he/she is kind of keeping to herself at the back of the tank. At least she was at last look. BTW, how can...

Well I am a bit confused. We purchased 3 mollies a few weeks ago (1 male, 2 female). Right away, the 2 females ganged up on the male and just about ate his tail away. I QT'd him for a few days just so he could get some relief. He's back in now and seems to be happy. Today, though, I noticed on...

I just had the same thing. I bought a spotted tailfin catfish and some cories to help with the problem. At the same time, I bought three mollies. The mollies were the ones that devoured it! It was GONE in about 3 hours. Amazing!

Thank you!!!!

Thanks for all the info. I am going to check them out and see what I like. I got a Borders gift cert for Christmas burning a hole in my pocket!
