    Still Battling ick

    You can also leave the tank water level a lil lower and let the water falling from the filters provide extra air.

    Still Battling ick

    Make sure you raise the heat gradually, couple degrees every 6-12hrs is safe. You will need extra air in the tank since warm water holds less oxygen. I would only use the meds as recommended, nothing stronger. I can't speak for your babies, but our 30+ guppy fry have handled it just fine.

    Ich - I would love some tips and opinions

    Not really sure, I know my Loaches are not supposed to be able to tolerate much salt and meds, but they have handled it just fine. I just made sure to increase the amount of salt gradually. After almost 3 weeks we are only up to 40 tsp salt in my 55g. You should be able to Google around for your...

    Still Battling ick

    More filtration = better water quality. Just make sure you remove carbon if using meds. the heat alone will kill ich eventually, salt will speed up the process some. Meds will prolly help even more. Make sure your tank is at 86+ degrees.Will take time. We have been treating our tank for going on...

    Ich - I would love some tips and opinions

    I would raise the temp atleast to 86 if your fish can handle it. I am battling ich right now aswell. I have 3 plecos, 2 loaches, 12 guppies, 10 shrimp, 30+ fry, and plants in a 55g. We have the temp around 88, up to about 40 tsp salt now (adding salt very gradually), and daily water changes...

    White strings on Loach Fins!

    This is her. It is hard to see in this pic, but right where her tail meets her body is white fuzz. Not sure if this is a fungus or what. This really sucks because I don't know what we are having to fight in addition to the ich, or how to...

    White strings on Loach Fins!

    Yup, looks the same to me. I didn't see the red sore on my loach that the guppy has, but same looking strings. We have another guppy that may not make it :( we are prepping the QT and going to try to treat her separately. She floats up at the top not moving much, then sometimes she will swim...

    White strings on Loach Fins!

    The Loach had 2 on it's top fin, they appear to be gone now. The above pic of the guppy the strings were comming off of the upper portion of the tail fin, those appear to be gone as well. Ich is just taking it's sweet time.

    White strings on Loach Fins!

    Ok, so anyone have any idea what this is on one of our guppy's tails? 2 white strings are attached to it's tail, where it attaches to the tail has caused some redness. There was some redness on him a couple days ago, but we saw no strings then.

    aquaclear 110 + emperor 400

    I just used something like this: Amazon.com: Pre-Filter Sponge 3 Pack for Fluval Edge Aquarium: Pet Supplies I had bought a single pre-filter from my lfs. It was I tight fit, but I got it to work, and it works well.

    aquaclear 110 + emperor 400

    I paid $58 with free shipping from Amazon, it has gone up to $61 since I bought mine at the beginning of this month. I love it! I replaced the carbon with pond filter media, and put a prefilter on the intake. It cleans the water up nicely.

    White strings on Loach Fins!

    Going good so far. Keeping the temp around 86-87, up to almost 2 tsp salt per 5g, and daily water changes. No deaths so far! I still haven't seen the strings on my loaches again, before just the pleco's had noticeable ich, but most everything in the tank has it now. All the fish, fry, and...

    Easy to answer question

    If you don't want to waste it, get a medicine dropper to correctly dose it.

    Tank cracked

    Hey it never hurts to try!

    Tank cracked

    Usually they will only replace a tank if it was on a properly manufactured aquarium stand made for the aquarium used.

    Tank cracked

    Stress fracture? If one corner of the tank was a little bit higher, or wasn't sitting very level it could have caused it.
