I have a black moor, 6 inches that I moved into the quarentine tank because of finrot. I started on meds for the fin-rot. I now, 24 hrs later, have a calico goldfish with stringy poop, clamped fins and bottom sitting. Can I use Medigold for both conditions or must they be in separate quarentine...

Ich is the size of salt grains, yours looks larger. Fungus maybe? The stress of such a big change could have lowered their immunity and something could have gotten stirred up when you removed the mud.

I used a dresser with thick wood for my small tank, very sturdy! Was going to use it for my 55 gallon but found it had sagged in the middle and would not support evenly:facepalm:. Ended up having to build a new one after all:banghead:. You must make sure it will give equal support or your tank...

Ending the thread here. I'm going to end this thread now. The worst is over, and if I have any major problems I know who to PM. Thanks to everyone who contributed and helped me get through this fish-in cycle without unduly stressing these already stressed fish.:flowers::bb::wave:

I was told to bleach the rocks in a slightly weaker solution than you used then soak in water with at least double the dechlorinator for two to three days to remove all the chlorine. Also, have you tested it to make sure it won't effect your PH?

After bleaching them you should soak them in water with double prime or other dechlorinator. That will get out the chlorine better. FYI : Some rocks have trapped gas bubbles in them, and will explode when heated in pot or oven:hide:.

I'm planning on adding real plants to the 55 gallon. I have an Anubis Coffeafea in there now, but I need to get some rocks so I can attach it to something. Found a list of plants they won't eat online. Put in some java moss but they picked it all apart! Will have to securely attach it to...

The Amm and nitrites have been 0 for the last day and a half. :dance: I went ahead and started them on the Medigold last night. I had put him in the colander briefly and he spazzed, totally freaked out and the bump had a tiny bloody looking spot. Was going to put him in the plant tank to...

Good info. Received the Medigold today but will probably hold off, as the red veining has receded and is not nearly as noticable. The white bump is much flatter as well. Will continue to keep the water numbers as low as possible and continue monitoring. If something seems hinkey I have the...

Fish bump Sorry it took so long to get back to you, Internet was down. He won't stay still enough for a pic. The red is the veins showing, and the bump is just a white raised bump. Ordered some Medigold and it hasn't arrived yet, but he's still acting normally. Set up the old 10 gallon as a...

Comet problems Numbers in the big tank are looking good: PH : 7.2 Amm : Trace Nitrites : Trace Nitrates : 10ppm The comet this morning is acting fine but has red at the base of his tail near a white ( size of this o ) spot. The white spot is actually raised, like a cyst or something. Also can...

Thanks!

Thanks. Snails seem to be doing okay. The one not moving is attached to the glass now, so we'll see. This morning fed them peas, squash :taped:, and spinach, along with some baby brine shrimp. Only had freeze dried, so I soaked them in hot water to soften. Also gave them some mosquito larvae...

Water #'s have not changed yet. Hope the bacteria in the Angels plus filter came through shipping okay. They had to have set the darn thing in the sun, it was VERY warm when I unpacked it. Temps here have been in the mid to high 80's. Numbers at 1000 this morning : PH : 6.6 Amm .25 ppm...

Picked up the aragonite, some java moss, and a couple of zebra snails for the plant tank. I tested PH and Ammonia at 1630 and they were 6.6 and .25ppm respectively. I'll test nitrites and nitrates in a bit. The filter from Angels Plus came today and I put it in the tank. It was awful warm out...

He stopped floating about 0400 and I just finished giving them breakfast : peas, carrots, and a little red pepper, steamed, mashed and cut into bits. Also added a couple of baby worms from the garden. They hate carrots:taped: Spit them out as fast as they ate them. I found them all stuck to the...

Sorry I haven't been updating much today. My grandson was very thirsty and drank from my straw the other day, and I didn't find out until after I'd drank from it too. So now I have a lousy cold! :D Just did my numbers, and it looks like the bacteria are starting to work again. PH : 6.6 or so...

Did 30 - 35% PWC'S last night about 2200. New numbers 0930 PH : 6.6 Amm : .25 ppm Nitrites : still just trace Will do nitrates soon and post.

Everyone is doing fine. No excessive floating or other off behavior. Just did a new reading on the water, results follow. PH : 6.6 Ammonia : .25 ppm Nitrites : starting to creep up, not 0, but very low Nitrates : 5 ppm Found a great LFS that's in Pensacola, (only 35 miles away) with very...

New #'s 1000 PH : 6.6 Ammonia : .25 ppm Nitrites : 0 ppm Nitrates : 5 ppm P.S. 1000 is 10AM

Will do.:popcorn:

Ordered a seeded filter from Angels Plus yesterday afternoon. Heard you mention them on another post, and thought they could help. Everyone's looking good today with no problems. Nice to not worry about them for a few hours.

Very good to know, I hate floaters, you just feel so bad for them. Numbers seem to be holding steady: PH : 6.6 Ammonia : .25 Nitrites still 0 Nitrates : between 0 and 5 Is the cycle stalled or what? Haven't done a water change today. I've done so many lately because of the PH, do you think...

PH this morning 6.6, which happens to be what the tap water tested at after 48 hours. Ammonia tested at .25 ppm Nitrites are still 0 Will test nitrates in a bit. :facepalm: I figured out what was bothering me about the fish late last night. When he would stop swimming he would float. Nuked a...

Thats good to know. Glad I have you all to answer my questions. I don't like hit or miss with living creatures, I feel too guilty if I let them down. Took some new numbers and they are: PH : 6.4 Amm : .25 ppm Nitrites : 0 :nono: Nitrates : between 0 & 5 ppm Went ahead and did a 30 percent...
