good gravy! compared to my danios and tetras they seem like super poopers! Maybe the black sand make it more noticible?

ok -this is basically a stocking question, because I don't necessarly trust aqadvisor..... 29 gallon tank - set up since summer. 3 zebra danio (1 is a glofish) 5 neon tetras and 9 platies. all but one were born in the tank. lost 2 of the original 3 a few weeks ago.... one Laaaarrrrrge one...

No advice tt, but I am sorry you lost your cory :(

hey! just got back from vacation. everyone looks pretty good. one neon looks a little raggedy for lack of a better work. fins a little frayed (have been for at least a week) and maybe some little bumps around mouth? Congrats on getting your new tank set up! I need to get my 10 gal qt set...

thanks! I have been meaning to get some of the polyfil so I can shove some in there too....

Hi all! I picked up a 10 gallon tank of craigslist to set up as a QT. It comes with a tetra whisper ex20 craptacular filter and no media. Is there any reason I can't use whatever I want in there as media (I currently use a aquaclear 50 on my DT and it looks like I could put that stuff in...

I agree with the second thermometer. I have a stick on and one of the cheap rocket shaped ones just as a double check. What is your tank size and wattage of heater? Do you think you might be at the upper limit of what your heater can do?

Hi all, added danios and neon tetras (tank empty before) to my 29g main tank a few weeks ago and lost some off the bat due to ich/possibly something else. I am down to 5 neons and 2 zebra danios/1 glofish. The danios/glofish are not bothering the neons at all, but I am guessing I should up...

oh fun! I personally am going to try platys next, but I am sure they are not everyone's taste. I love the neons so I think it would be cool to have just a bunch of those... I have sand and like it. It may be hard to section it off though. You would probably have to be extra careful with...

just above an eye - I think it may just be a reflection off a scale. hope so, time will tell....

thanks to you both. things seem to be doing ok. I keep thinking I am seeing a spot on a tetra, but I don't think it is ich.... tetras still seem iffy, but time will tell I guess.....

That is really neat! Learned something new today!

yay corys! I so want to get some but I am trying to be patient.....

that sounds great! I will be going out of town soon and am nervous about my fish for sure! I want to see cory pics. I am so looking forward to eventually getting some!!

thanks for asking TT! Still hanging in there. Haven't lost any more fish - yay. My glofish still looks touchy sometimes (hanging at the bottom) but seems like a resilient little guy. Neons actually looked pretty good the last couple days. Been almost a week since I saw the last spot. I...

I see you :) Not sure on the pwc amount if you are lightly stocked 25% is probably the high end, but I don't think it will hurt to overkill! I don't know how accurate aq advisor is for it, but if you put in your stock it gives a water change estimate.... can't wait to see your corys!

thanks, I am just sad that it was supposed to be fun for the kids (esp my 7 year old) but it hasn't been :( we were both so excited and I felt pretty confident going into this :(

ok still at 86 - have been over a week and still one white spot on a neon :( I am slowly adding more salt, but they heat really should be taking care of it no? The glofish that was laying at the bottom looks pretty good. One neon is looking a little iffy (with the spot, not eating well....)

tablespoons? I don't even have 2 teaspoons per gallon. With temp at 86 I was hoping the spots would be gone by now, but still there this am :( tt - good thought but I don't have blacklights. I do have an led fixture, so I guess that isn't giving out enough... Should I up the temp more in...

I couldn't really tell from the video what dosage you used? I am about 1 tsp per gallon right now. I know I should probably add more since my ich isn't moving, but my glofish looked bad after my last dose.... temp is at 86....

thank you, I have a volcano bubbler thing and I dropped the water level down to get more surface agitation. I am going to look for the video - thank you.... Day 7 and I still see white spots.

:( my last glofish is now laying on the bottom of the tank! I am so confused on the glofish deaths. They never showed ich spots. Just tested water (again!) amm = 0 nitrites = 0 nitrates = 5 what else can i do here? I dumped in some prime, even though I have no idea why. just to feel like...

ack! the ich definitely looks worse today!! I knew it was supposed to get worse before better, but 5 days in?? I may add more salt - I just have the dosage on the carton (1 rounded tbs/5 gallons) but I think for ich the dosage is higher? Temp still is at 86.....

I don't get why people buy animals as gifts - sigh. good for you for doing your research! I agree with moving as soon as possible, any waste is going to be much more concentrated in the smaller bowl for sure.

thanks to you both for your support - I really appreciate it. I thought I was so prepared after fishless cycling. Now when I test my water I almost hope there is ammonia or nitrite, because then I would know what to do to fix it :( my bottom dwelling neon's red stripe is paling a bit, but he...
