I agree 100%. The thing that confirms it for me is the fact that it lived with it so long, and it continued to grow, and eventually did actually rupture (split) the skin. I'd almost guarantee it was a tumor. It has all the characteristics.

I just wanted to post back and let everyone know she's doing great! After a couple of meals of peas (about 8 peas in total) her belly is back to normal! :-D :-D I'm normally not one to freak out too much, but after so many days of her belly looking like that I had to seek some advice. :lol:

My avatar is one, but it's a good 2 years old or so. Unfortunately she spends basically all her time swimming in the currents which makes it hard to catch any good pics with my sub-standard camera. lol.

I was going to try epsom. Her belly appears to have gone down a *little*. I'll try more pees and possibly an epsom batch. Thanks for the responses!

Hey everyone, It's been a really long time since I've posted on here. I have a sick fish that I need some advice on though. She's a 4 year old columbian catfish / black fin shark / silver fin shark (lots of names. lol). She's about 7" long and is in a 55 gallon all by herself. She has had...

Big Al's has a shop in Canada too, and is very popular among AA users.

I am not saying much other than what has been said above, but I recommend the AC. I had an Emperor 170 (now called 200) die on me after only a couple years of normal use. It was a good filter, but the flow reduced to just a trickle. That was with regular cleanings and everything, I take very...

I'm only speaking from experience here, but it is very common in golds and plecos. They are very dirty fish! I suppose some might recommend feeding them a pea (to help with constipation) but my fish have always been healthy, but I have always had that occur with golds and plecos. The only...

I don't know about all that, or what kind of fish you are trying to raise, but my experience has always been to just leave it be. While the high nitrates is obviously not good due to water changes, I personally would leave the hardness and ph as it is in the nearby city water. In general even...

Hi jdogg, It will never result in that 100% of the time due to how genes work, although your chances are greatened. If the pink is the recessive gene (1 in 4 chance of them having it) then the chances of the pink male and female producing pink babies is no more so than breeding a normal male and...

Do you have a test kit? You need to post your test results for Ammonia, NO2 and NO3

[off topic] You can learn a lot from them. ;) [/off topic]

If you can't find a check valve you like, but are worried to not have one, then a quick fix would be to make sure your pump is higher than your tank. If you have any way of doing that, then a check valve wouldn't be necesarry since gravity would prevent it from siphoning. As far as not hearing...

Hi Catalina, I can't answer your question about Prime because I don't use it, but about the kudos; AA got a forum upgrade in February. Here's a direct quote from fishfreek: I guess people will just have to be happy with a "thanks" now! ;)

hey v10, Welcome to AA! :) I don't know much about planted tanks, but one thing that I can say is that your fixture is probably only rated for 30w if that's what bulb is in there now, so I wouldn't put a higher watt one in there. You will have to be investing in new fixtures to reach that 2-4...

Hi Brian, I saw in your other post your tank was 10g, so I'll just state that for anyone coming to this new thread. :) Is your tank near a window? How long do you have the lights in the tank on each day? About your hardness, I don't know what type of fish you are keeping but that would put...

What kind of substrate do you have? Does the cloudy water have a color to it?

I'm happy to hear that all went well! Water can be heavy!! haha. Congrats -brent

I don't think 1.5 would be enough to cause any visible burns on a scaled fish... but it is no doubt uncomfortable. You are right at the point that you might want to consider doing a water change. Doing so may slow down the cycle (which it seems you are having that problem anyways) but while...

Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Mela Fix @ Petsmart $3.49 for the 4oz bottle :thumb: It's up to you of course whether it's worth it to you.

Not trying to be rude, but why couldn't this be in the thread you started just an hour ago asking about this same neon? Hopefully someone can come in and help, I fortunatly haven't had to cure many sick fish. But I can tell you that the first thing anyone is going to ask is what your water...

hey ace, I'm not experienced with planted tanks other than knowing that 2-3 wpg is a good number, but you apparently know that already. Obviously how much light you need greatly depends on what you're trying to grow though. I recommend you try making this post in the planted forum (Freshwater &...

Just to clear it up, the "digital" sticky ones aren't really digital, and aren't what is being talked about when referring to the $6 digital ones that need batteries. ;) Definitely don't rely on those sticky ones! -brent
