I've just noticed these on the glass at the back of my tank!! I didn't think Severums would lay eggs on glass but flat rock... Now these are brownish in color, would that mean they are fertilized?

Cool thanks! Was thinking I really don't have the space to have them breeding considering there is a 10" Oscar in there as well.

Haven't sexed the fish... Not really sure how to. Have another gol severum that is much more full in color, guessing that's the male...

Like an off white...

Just curios, got home from work and found this. Have noticed that this particular gold severum and my green severum have suddenly become territorial. Have they paired and started breeding?

Thanks heaps jlk and mummaoftwo. Have been dosing QT with Pimafix and seems to have stopped whatever it is from spreading but will definitely check out website and LFS(has blue planet range) for any med's if this conditions gets worse. Fingers crossed it doesn't buy at least now I have a backup.

I'm in Australia. I'm guessing he is going to need some kind of antibiotic, any suggestions??

To be honest, it looks like a really bad case of eczema but a fish version of it.... The top bit looks scabby that doesn't want to heal and down the sides it looks fury almost like the scales are rotting.... :-(

Thanks, will keep it in mind. Will observe over this week to see if there are any changes. Fingers crossed it isn't hole in the head..

I only noticed what I thought was an abrasion on top o this guys head from the lava rock in tank so had just treated with melafix and in the last week hadn't seen any improvement so I've moved him into isolation and began treating as Pimafix as well. He still has plenty of appetite but this...

Those photos look awesome! I've got to ask just cos curiosity has now gotten the better of me, what camera are you using? These shots really makes me want to set up a marine tank!

I would really consider using stability to get your levels down and controlled so you can get to the fun stuff and enjoy watching the personalities develop in your fish :) from what I know about stress zime is that this has been marketed for when you are moving fish or introducing new fish into...

Loaches are pretty cool hey! Do like the idea of rams or apistogrammas.. Not too partial to artificial plants, do like the natural look instead ? Thanks Andy My current tank setup

No worries ? I would still probably consider taking it out of the community tank and into a QT just for observation and have melafix & pimafix on hand just in case the little marks get bigger and you need to treat fairly quickly for bacterial or fungal infection.

How are your water parameters? Apart from the red on the body, are there any lesions, white spots or "mould like" spots visible on scales or mouth? If unsure should put in a quarantine tank and look at either getting bacterial/fungal treatment in place for your barb. Have you notice any change...

Just curiously, how big are your silver sharks and your rainbow shark? From my experience as these guy got bigger in my 35 gallon they were getting more and more territorial, especially the rainbow shark. Silver sharks will pretty much eat anything big enough to fit in its mouth, one of mine...

Thanks Andy.. Would you recommend anything I could add to make it a more colorful tank?

If the introduction of new fish then you will need to do a large water change 50%-75% and medicate would recommend API Pimafix. Just follow instructions and should be good. This should treat fungal & and any bacterial infections. Let us know how you go

Didn't occur to me before when I was welcoming you but if you can get your hands on a couple of Seachem products, Stability for cycling your tank and Prime when you do your partial water changes. Seachem also have a range also for plant care, Flourish and excel or there is a tab form you can...

Hello and welcome to AA ?

Te after definitely much better

I can cope with any of gods creatures but when it comes to spiders, man am I the biggest wimp!! That video totally made my skin crawl.... Can't get away from those suckers even under water!

Welcome to AA

Have you added anything into your tank in the last couple of days that is different from the norm? Time between water changes, filter clean and any other other tank mates?

I have only just minimized usage of stability this week and still using prime in my water changes. I added a couple of extra bags of matrix in the sump of my running tank while I was putting this one together and used that matrix when started this one up so it would get a 'leg up' while...
