Thank you for your reply! Sorry if the video wouldn't let you watch. Somehow it got set to private. Please try again and you should be able to view it and see the behavior. I just want to know if this is mating behavior... Thanks again!!!

Does anyone know if this is goldfish breeding behavior? I have only seen this behavior first thing in the morning when I come down and turn on the room lights. It's always the same fish that is being harassed and it just so happens that she is the biggest in the tank. All of those doing the...

Try this. It may fix your issue. :)

I'm happy to say that I have had no more breakouts and no more deaths. I'm guessing whatever it was is gone. Quarantine Tank is going through fishless cycle and I hope it is almost complete. Ammonia drops to 0 every 24 or less. Now waiting for the nitrites to cycle. They are almost there...

Something else I noticed is tonight the top of my water looking from below with the light on it looks like I have an oil slick. :(

Yes, there are definitely some kind of white worms in the water and I would say that some are about a quarter inch. What in the world would they be?

Ok. So I didn't do the glass test yet but what I did do is turn off all filtration and movement in the water. It has been about an hour and all of the dust looking stuff is just stationary and not moving up to the surface like it would if it were air. Now looking in the tank I can see...

I'm not at home right now but this is something I will try and post the results.

No, no air leaks in the filter. It does look like air bubbles but I don't think they are because if I turn the filter off and let the tank sit the stuff stops moving and then stays suspended in the water. If it were air it would slowly make its way to the top to escape. It sort of links like...

I know. With so many fish how do you possibly controls everything? It's my fault for not QTing. Trust me. Just bitter right now. I'll be back to PS within the week no doubt. :)

And just to add. I do think I have seen this same thing in a local PetSmart a month or so ago and was on their tiger barbs. I will never buy another fish from there but that's just my opinion now based on this experience.

What do you treat this with where you work and how do you keep it from spreading?

I have had the clown barbs for 6+ months and they were thriving in the pH since then without problem. They were very good fish and healthy. I think when I brought the Rubber Lip from PetSmart and introduced him he had a disease he spread to the barbs. I am 99.9999% sure it isn't water...

No, I can't get the nitrates down with just a water change. I have 20-40ppm of nitrate in my tap water. I did 70% water change last night. No additives. 60 gallon 5 Cory's 2 Bala (2.5 inches) (Don't freek out I know they will get large and I will need larger tank) 3 false SAE 1 golden CAE...

Stock listed above minus the barbs that died. Ammo 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 20-40 (can't be helped due to migrate in tap water) & pH 7.8. Tank is about 2 months old and fully cycled. Filter is older as was on pre opus tank. Only thing I can think is that a fish I got at PetSmart I stupidly...

Earlier this week my 3 clown barbs died suddenly after their moths became deformed, swollen and red. I don't have any really good pictures but I'll post the ones I did take. Basically, I got up Tuesday morning and all was fine. After work I noticed one of the clown barbs was ver inactive...

Yes. Completely aware of nitrogen cycle and tank has been cycled for months now or filter has been I should say. You may be right about the wattage. 54 does sound right and not 56. It's a Hagen Glo fixture. From what I have read and been told, I can put a 40 watt Glo T5 bulb in my Glo HO...

This is driving me crazy! I have these really small dust looking things in my aquarium all the time and it's really frustrating me. You cant see it no matter how hard you look with the lights off but with the lights on it looks horrible! I don't know if it is oxygen in the water being out...

Greetings! I figured it better to recycle one of my old threads since this is where there has already been some discussion about SAEs, false SAEs and Flying Foxes. Saturday while at That Fish Place I picked up 3 fishes that were labeled simply as "Algae Eating Shark". I did the research and I...

You know. I just thought about something that didn't dawn on me until just now. My 37 was fully dosed with salt because I was treating Ich and had just finished the treatment. I didn't add any salt to the 60 before adding the fishes. Do you think that the fact that the 60 didn't have any...

Yea, they seem to be holding steady. Ammonia: 0 ppm Nitrite: 0 ppm Nitrate: 20-40 ppm pH: 7.8 Perhaps the stress of the moves from the 37 to the 10 QT to the 60 was just too much for them. Strange thing is that they were fine Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Sunday was the...

Well, for whatever reason all 4 of my tiger barbs died today. The other fishes seem to be getting back to normal though. The tiger barbs seemed to develop shredded fins or something. Not sure what the issue was. They just stayed on the bottom basically for the last two days and when I went...

For the last 2 days my fishes have all pretty much been sitting in one corner at the bottom of the tank and not being their usual active selves. I checked water conditions and everything looks normal. The first couple days in the new tank they were being normal and exploring things and very...

The fish are really enjoying the tank. My tiger barbs noses have even turned red. I had always wondered why mine didn't have red noses and now they'd all of a sudden since putting them in the new tank. I hope that is a good thing and means they are happy. :) The drift wood piece also came...

Hey, eco: Couple questions for you. Had my 405 unhooked and not running for about 2-3 hours today. I didn't drain it or anything but just unhooked it while setting up the new tank. Any harm done to the BB? I'm hoping not. Also, instructions say that from bottom of filter to waterline...
