haha the parasite matures depending on temp. I'd say keep an eye out for 2 weeks atleast.

dwoh, if the gravel vac wasn't dried out before you used it int he main tank, you MAY have transferred some ich into the main tank. i'd watch it carefully. It's happened to me, but with me, it was a reused net. my goldfish were really active and hungry at 89 degrees, but my oranda, moor and...

thanks guys updated original post based on what I can deduce from googling pics

I recently bought these plants but the store owner didn't know what they are. I also need help I.D.'in number 1 and 2 in the last picture. Any help is appreciated Thanks, Pancakes Update on I.D.ing 1.? Seems to be propagating through runners. 2.? Doesn't seem like the wisteria pics I saw on...

I'm having trouble identifying number 1 and 2. I was told #1 was Cuban Ludwigia and #2 is Ludwigia Narrow Leaf. I looked them up and they didn't look like the labels at all. I'm pretty sure 3 is good old Ludwigia Repens and 4 is Rotala Inclinata but I could be wrong. I want to read up on them...

thanks guys seems the ich is getting worse before it gets better. the ich is more apparent now. i was able to get a filter for the tank and added some main tank gravel in a pantyhose bag

Yeah I'm aware. He was never in my main tank though, so I have no reason to treat my main tank for ich that it doesn't have.

The new fish had been quarantined as soon as I got home and was never in my main tank. I'm using a makeshift sponge filter but it's no use cause it's a brand new sponge (no good bacteria on it). how many water changes should I do daily? My temps are at 80 now and there's 3 table spoons of...

Wouldn't keeping him in the main tank infect my other fish with the ich?

I see some white spots on the fins of a goldfish I bought today. I put him in the only tank I have available, a 5 gallon tank. I put salt, an air stone and a heater (set to 80 degrees) in the tank. Problem is, the tank isn't cycled and has no filter.What should I do? I'm in a quick fix and I...

Oscar that's an amazing piece of driftwood! I'd recommend some Java Fern for that type of driftwood, I think the two would be a nice pairing since your driftwood is thin and branchy. maybe get another piece of driftwood to balance out the negative space on the left of the tank or a bunch of java...

I'll release him immediately!

Thanks for the reply fishguy. I guess I made a mistake attributing wen size to the health of the ranchu. I was just worried because I heard about fish being stunted. I had also thought the size of the wen is an indicator of good health as well as general girth/fatness. I wasn't aware it was a...

I just got a ranchu today from the local petland and I want you knowledgeable guys out there to analyze him. I really want a pronounced wen and he had the largest wen (or soon to be wen) out of all the other small ranchu there. Tips on care (I'm keeping him in a baby fish basket to keep him in...

@sssea very cute and a cool wen! @tarpon thanks! i'll probably get an oranda of some sort!

@sssea I'm def considering an oranda. they're amazing. a pure orange oranda would be an amazing contrast to kuro. @tarpon and flossie here's a pic guys. There's a bubble wall in there too for oxygenating the tank but i turned it off for viewing pleasure. also, check out that sweet piece of...

Yep it's a 30 gallon. they will be the only ones there. I can evict the cory gang to another tank if need be....I just really want another goldfish:facepalm: On another note, I just added some epic looking driftwood in the tank with two of my anubias attached to it. I'll post pics soon...

Interesting. I thought there was some pre packaged bacteria that lived in eco complete that converted detritus into even more mulm. I'm torn between getting the iron and magnese supplement liquid for the plants or the eco complete...since i'm going to heavily plant this tank

I was actually thinking of switching out most of the substrate except for the mulm for some eco complete. I really wanna heavily plant this thing! I'll probably attach the anubias to a driftwood i'll be getting for the left side.

Those are the cutest goldfish! I was looking into getting a panda moor to accompany Kuro but he's just so messy on his own hahah the guy is fist sized already. I'm still trying to fatten him up! Some snapshots of the full tank: The scape still looks pretty empty...gotta get more plants. Any...

You guys can catch a glimpse of his Cory posse in the third photo. I actually inherited his entire tank from a friend (not my fault there's a tropical/coldwater fish mix.) I rescaped it and cleaned up the nasty algae. Kuro's actually got a couple of scales missing. Hopefully he heals soon. The...

rich you fish are amazing! I like how the black background really brings out the color in each fish.

"Kuro" in the 30gal.

Handsome devil indeed! He has a couple of missing scales and a small patch of raw skin at the join where the tail fin connects to the body. The tank used to be full of sharp driftwood that I took out. I heard something about the hardiness of the black moors to different temperatures on it's wiki...

A friend gave me a 30 gal complete with everything that his roommate dumped on him..including fish! There's a fist sized black moor, 4 of what I think are oto's, and 3 of what I think are bronze corys. The tank was pretty nasty when I got it, full of green and red algae as well as a HOT magnum...
