I'm definitely keeping a close eye on them! No repeats for me!! They seem pretty content so far. It's taking a little longer for Diesel to get used to the sand but he's doing better with it today. Ms. Peepers took to the sand pretty quick. She likes anything if food is involved though. :) It...

Then maybe later some friends?? :)

It's been a long day! Everyone is moved into their new homes and I'm pooped! I ended up leaving the canister with the 46g because it was becoming difficult for me to try to take apart. I have each tube running through separate holes in the stand and unfortunately it's not particle board or I...

It's been a while since I've posted about my Moors. I'm happy to report they are doing pretty well! I didn't notice right away but Ms. Peepers eye has returned to it's normal largeness. The extra fluid just disappeared at some point. I had grown so accustomed to seeing it "big" and I figured...

Thanks for all your info, I looked online and my Home Depot has a 100lb bag of Silica Sand for like 9.00 so I'm going to try that out. I think that will work out! Tomorrow should be fun! :)

So I'm setting up a 72 gallon tank for my Goldie's and I'd like to do a sand bottom. Suggestions on how much sand I would need to purchase would greatly help me!! Their current tank has no sand so I'm starting with nothing. I can't wait to get them in there. Also any tips in regards to setting...

That's where I was a little thrown. I put those fish in Thursday night. Not even a week ago so whatever happened was so crazy that it seems they should all be dying or something was already going on? Ugh it's just confusing. I'll try to read up later. I'm still needing to look at the fact that...

Ok I took a couple pictures already, so I'm good there. I wasn't sure if you were wanting to see the picture but I can continue to research. I've already disposed of his body so the photos will have to be enough for now. Thanks for the suggestions. My brother has cleaned fish many times so I...

Nothing looks even close! Thanks for your input. Do you mean to post the pic here for help on an ID? I can do that I just would warn everyone not to go further down if they don't want to see it. Let me know and I'll post. Poor loach. I just don't want all the others I just brought in to go...

I didn't want to but I opened up my fish. I'm not seeing what you are talking about. The silver sack to the intestinal track. I don't want to be totally inappropriate and put a picture but there isn't anything worm like but he is filled with a sack of round white things? All around his organs...

Thank you anyway, but he passed overnight. :(

Thank you for the reply. I appreciate it. I read those posts and it seems they are both about worms. I don't see the similarities in these posts and my issue. This is new to me so I'm not sure. Maybe you could shed some light for me. Also I know treatments aren't necessarily the same for loaches...

Sorry for these follow ups I had this all typed out and I lost it and had to redo it. I keep realizing I left things out! He didn't act odd until yesterday where he seemed a little sluggish and hid most of the day. He hasn't eaten possibly since Saturday night. I don't know if he ate Sunday...

Also my last water change was yesterday and I use Prime. Usually have a little ammonia in my tap water but haven't checked for a bit.

Hello any help would be appreciated. I have a yoyo loach that is about 5 years old that I got along with this tank back in August. Today I came home to find him with reddish fins and heavy breathing. I made a bad decision it seems by adding 4 more small yoyo loaches. I added them Thursday with...

Yeah I don't know how to think of my tank since it had been up for years but when I got it I scrubbed the whole tank down and changed the rocks. Same filter and media though. That put it into a mini cycle but its been stable now a few weeks I think close to a month but I'm keeping an eye to be...

If I were to decide on GBRs do you think they should be added after the other fish?

Chileno I wouldn't be able to give you my yoyo because I promised to keep him. :) He's grown on me now though! I can't wait to get his friends for him and watch them all swim around. They are funny fish!

I like the look of GBRs but I just assumed they were mean since they were cichlids or in the family but looking them up I see live aquaria says they are peaceful. Do you keep them in a community? My fiancé likes the look of them too!

Anyone with any thoughts, opinions? Or you can just tell me to shut up. :)

Hello again, back for a little update. I rehomed the pictus cats and got 6 more pristella tetras. I had to wait for the tank to stabilize so its been about a week with the tetras. It's going well so far, though I do miss the activity with the pictus in there. I still plan on finding the other...

Hello! I have the Aqua Prazibbut I'm probably going to give that to my stepdad for his pond and buy PraziPro so I don't have to worry about getting it diluted properly and using it on a smaller tank. Also i think it would benefit his pond. Any thoughts on what size bottle I should get for a 46...

I'm no expert but I do know its supposed to be several small meals for goldfish with a quality food and veggies everyday. :)

Thanks! That's kind of why I'm thinking I'll rehome them. I read they need lots of space and it feels like there's a little too much competition on the bottom of the tank at times with just what I have right now. Everyone has definitely grown on me this past week (doesn't take long!) but I'm...

I like them, they are so active but I'm not sure I'll be keeping them. I have to keep the loach so that means getting 3 more to make him happy. I'm thinking about only keeping the loach and tetra and bumping up their numbers so I can add a little more variety to the tank. Still open for tank...
