Update well I went and purchased Parasite Clear and have used it 3 times now. I had to remove the ghost shrimp. Man were they ever hard to catch! One was totally uncatchable but a few hours after the first treatment he was drugged and easier to catch. they are all in a fishbowl and doing...

glad i got the "finger" one before it was removed. I cant imagin anyone here using it seriously. I thought it was funny. just MHO

Thanks Kevin, I am aware of these products but have never tried them. the site I was looking at implied that the chemicals in these products are more effective on the free swimming juveniles than the attached worms. I am going to try one of these products anyways......desperation. Thanks again

Does anyone here know if there is an effective treatment for anchor worms other than just pulling them off? i have one guppie fry that has one and i cant catch him and i cant pull them off like i could on goldfish. I have read about many meds i could buy at the LFS but they all say that they may...

I don't rinse my cartridges in tap water as it seems the chlorine in my city water kills the bacteria on the cartridge. I use the old water from a water change and swish it around in that.

Well I'm back. Have stopped in a few times and I see some new updates to the site. Very Nice. After my evil twin did all that Nazi Fish Killer stuff I had to empty the tank and start over. Took forever to cycle as I was too lazy to go buy unscented ammonia. Every little scratch on the glass or...

hey thanks VS and FF. i thought they might be like guppies but i saw on a search that they were listed along with killies but no pics. thanks for the url VS. FF if you find anymore please post it. again thanks

I have been recieving posts from another forum and I see them mentioning "Endlers Livebearers". I have never heard of these or seen them in any LFS. I know I've been out of it for a long time but I'm sure I must have seen them under a different name. Anyone know a site where I can see a pic of...

I was wondering how the pond is going. Haven't heard anything about your progress. Is West Nile a consideration in its completion? :? lol

oops sorry, i meant that post for VN. 8O

you take them outside and release them? do you have a pond or something outside? if not, i got bad news for you.......oh nevermind. lol :roll:

This may sound cruel to you but I smash small snails against the glass sides of the tank and the fish eat them out of the shell. I have been told not to do this with bare hands as snails carry bacteria that can cause infection. some woman use to do this for her fish and says she almost lost her...

In the past I have had Loaches, kulii's. This time I purchased one that tolerates cooler water. Reasearch led me to consider the Dojo/Weather Loach. Now I expected to rarely see this loach but was pleasantly surprised to see it active in the light.........did I say active?.........This guy's...

thanks again CRaZeee

everyone has such cool tank setups!

thanks corv and cat, i am aware i took a big chance and as much as it embarrasses me to say so.....i do know how to clean the plants. it was pure stupidity. It was an interesting experience, too bad it was at the expense of the fish. I am still trying to search on what this worm thing was. It...

Great,more research....does this never end!!!! lol

Aquarium salt for freshwater fish.

Does salt in the tank affect the Ammonia/Nitrate readings?

Hi Folks, Got a new job this week so I havent posted or responded. Also didnt want to "pad my post count" lol. Well ,we live and learn but i always seem to have a million things to learn. Why, just this week I have learned about feeding fish live food. I went to the river to collect some live...

Wow! very cool!

Yes, very non commital,lol. I dont know anyone that has an aquarium but myself and the gal that is going to unload some fish on me later this month. I will see if she has some gravel (with my luck it'll be pink) but i have to wait till she calls me. i dont know her number or where she lives...

OK, This is bizarre but I have been wondering if adding sourdough starter to my tank, in a small amout, would help get the bacteria going needed for the bio filtration. I seem to recall reading somewhere that someone used yeast to do this. I'm not sure this Stress-Zyme is doing anything and...

Dont hate me for all the space i am using......evaporation could be a concern now that the water prices are higher and restrictions are in effect in CA. I dont recall using that much water but i did use the water for my house plants and it seemed I topped it off once a week.Couldnt tell you how...

oh man. i just noticed i repeated a bunch of info....sorry I am burning the candle at both ends these days and well, i messed up.
