Wow, ok. It sounds like this may be my problem. It just started out of no where. To the QT tank they go. My curiosity still remains for the infected tank. Once they get out of QT, I question wether the display will still have the possible disease or if a follow tank can support it. This tank is...

No ideas?

My discus have all of a sudden been getting sick. It looks bacterial, but pimafix and melafix is not helping. Any suggestions would be great. My rams, loachs, Cory's, and pleco don't have this issue. Temp 82 Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 0 PH - 7.2

It is a 40g fluval Osaka. I have a large log soaking in a tub for this tank as well. Still leaking tannins. I have a 110g ready to go in my garage for when these guys get bigger! :)

Thanks for the advice! A pair of Adonis plecos would be great. I had a gold nugget before my Adonis and traded him out. I love the Adonis! I will look into MFK, sounds like a unique experience!

Well, just went home to remove her and all of the baby's are gone. Ugh, not even 30 minutes from her having them to eating them. Lol

Ok, there are only 3 babies in the breeder so far and she looks pretty chunky still. What is an average amount of babies from live bearers?

The mother and the baby's are in the breeder net, separate from the other platys. Do I need to separate the mother from the baby's.

My sps coral reef, and the last one I am working on for my discus. Should be done in a week or two.

I have 2 40b in my garage right now. I think they would be great for this. Aquabid wants 1k for 6 of them. I want to try and purchase a breeding pair I think. Wonder if any breeders would be interested in working a deal. If anything, I have a mail Adonis pleco, another one to try.

Anubis, hornwort are two if the easiest I can think of. They are so hardy, You could grow them in a toilet bowl.

IMO, you should be fine to just change them out. Every surface in the tank is home to beneficial bacteria and will serve to repurpose any bio media inside the canister. As long as your tank has been running smoothly for a couple of months, you have nothing to worry about.

I hear ya. I have a 140g reef as well, shipping coral and fish has been a scare, but I have not lost anything yet. Plus, most places offer DoA garentees. I cannot seem to find the we page selling them. Hmmm, I may need to do a ton more research!

True, they have a 7 day guarantee. They need a water sample for any fish over 100$ I think. They do not seem to needy, just no other bottom feeders, PH around 7.0, etc. I would need to accurately sex it and attempt to find another. One issue, I have never seen one for sale before.

My local LFS has a zebra pleco for $250.00. I am really on edge about picking it up. I already have an Adonis. Ugh, do any of you think it is worth it? The fish is extinct in the wild from my understanding and there are very few breeders out there.

I would do cherry shrimp. A small piece if Malaysian driftwood, and a nice Anubis plant. You can grow Anubis in a toilet bowl. Lol

Thanks for the input everyone. I have decided not to get a beta. The tank is a custom 70g tall. I currently have 4 discus, 8 panda Cory's, 1 Adonis pleco. I think I will leave it at that.

I have 4 discus, think a beta would be a good addition? Or am I out of my mind??

I live in Vegas. I can say ATM does have its own set of issues. Extreme prices, poor customer relations, but man, they make some beautiful tanks.

This is pretty cool. I let my mini maxi carpets split naturally. However, rock/flower nems will not split and reproduce sexually. For the price these guys go for, you did get a good buy! I highly recommend feeding the baby's mysis or DTs phyto until they can eat frozen brine. They will be...

Went on vacation and came back to my peacock cichlid missing a tail and all fins. He more or less is a slug... I purchased and auto feeder, and although it work, it did not feed as generously as I would have hoped. He obviously cannot compete for food anymore so I setup a sick tank. He is...

Wow, surprisingly seems easy. I will work on this. Also have a macro lens for my DSLR, will shoot some shots for further clarification. Thanks a ton for the link!

Thanks. Don't really have resources to vent just yet. I would love to breed someday. Saving for a leemar 240g. Plan to sink it into my closet and have a species tank. This is only a 100g and I am sure they will soon outgrow this.

Curious if these guys I bought are big enough to be sexed. They are about 5 and 6 inches. Got them at a steal because there bars are broken.
