I posted a few weeks ago about a recurrent ick problem that I just can not get to go away. I had at that point tried 3 medications, and salt treatment on my fish. It was suggested that I do a heat treatment at that time, which I have been doing since. I have my tank set at 86 right now, which...

I have been struggling with what I thought was ich for the last month. I have tried everything. I tried raising the heat and the max I can get it is 80*.. I have tried salt.. rid-ich... super ick cure and now we are on to quick cure. I have maintained a rigorous vacuum and water change...

My main tank has ICK right now and I am having trouble getting the heat high enough and may need to use a treatment on them. But I have RCS in the tank so I am thinking of picking up this on friday when I get paid and doing a quick set up and moving my shrimp over to this while I do the...

I just lost a few fishes and I am now down to 1 sunburst mm platy and 1 cosmic blue glofish. Once I get my tank on track for more fish, I want to add ones that will do well in a 10g set up. I am new to the hobby and a bit overwhelmed. I have read other threads about 10g stocking but I am not...

I am new to caring for fish. I cared for a tank at a previous job at a day care center that had local fish in it. But I was not very good at it, just the only one willing. I have had this tank since mid September and I have had a hard time keeping fish alive. I started with Platys as...
