    Whats a safe temperature to ship tropical fish?

    when do you like to buy your fish online. I'm waiting for the weather to warm up. It's like mid 50s on average with the occasional 30 dip and snow. Waiting to get to consistently 60 degrees before ordering online. Is that a safe temp to ship tropicals?

    Levamisole powder for worms

    I heard you must treat the snails too though? I removed some of the assassin snails because they acted like they couldn't carry their shell. It was weird looking. But I noticed two more of my assassin "beached" over night. They are still alive. Just not happy. The rest are a couple pest snails...

    Levamisole powder for worms

    Ok so I dosed everyone yesterday. A pretty high dose. He snails are not happy. They all came out from under the sand and laying on the bottom. But the gourami looks better. I still see like one tiny worm hanging out though. Do I wait a little longer before doing the large water change? Because I...

    Levamisole powder for worms

    Estimated to be here Saturday. I don't remember who it was from. Someone on eBay. The guy that I previously got it on amazon sold mainly shrimp so when I sifted through the reviews I realized no one had purchased his levamisole and left a review. So his 5 stars were for the shrimp. The guy I...

    Levamisole powder for worms

    Ok he went ahead and refunded me. I hope the new meds come in fast enough. I should get it Saturday. Just hope it's not too late for my fish. He's starting to sit at the bottom of the tank and occasionally swim around looking for food. But he does spend a lot of time sitting at the bottom...

    Levamisole powder for worms

    There is probably like 5 grams in there at this point because I keep adding small amounts every hour waiting for the fish to be just barely lethargic. But he doesn't seem to care. He actually swam through a cloud of the dilution when I poured in some more and didn't seem phased one but. I bought...

    Levamisole powder for worms

    Yeah I feel like he should be dead by now but is just nonchalantly swimming around looking for food. It's someone on Amazon by the name of InvertObsession. Figured he was okay. 5 stars on his ratings.

    Levamisole powder for worms

    Okay well there is definitely more than a tsp of 99% levamisole in his tank. I did a 80% water change before dosing. It's bare bottom so I can quickly get any worms. But he's not dropping any. I just see the worms hanging out of his anus. There's probably 2.5 tsp in his tank. Maybe I have a...

    Levamisole powder for worms

    So I can't seem to get the dosage right. I have a fish in QT that has callamanus worms. And I started off with the recommended dosage of .076 grams of pure powder. Nada. Added another. Nada. I then added .4 grams. Still nothing. Added ANOTHER .4 grams. And the fish is just acting like there is...

    Adding new fish to my 29 heres what i want. How many?

    Oh well I'll just keep the two I already have the passed two years. They seem quite happy together. Even laid eggs a few times lol they are the emerald corydoras. I'm definitely sticking with the threadfins and the celestials :). I was playing with that site and it said I could get 10 and 8 of...

    So you don't advise threadfins? I was really wanting those in my densely planted aquarium. With the celestials.

    Adding new fish to my 29 heres what i want. How many?

    Ahh I just like the look of the threadfins. Even the females I find pretty :) I like how both of these fish stay fairly small. Why so many Cory cats for a 29? I've had these two for a couple years now. They seem kinda big to add 4 more! Lol I'll check out the link and play around with it. I...

    Adding new fish to my 29 heres what i want. How many?

    K so tomorrow I'm rehoming my betta and 7 neons. Mainly because I'm looking for something new. I was wanting some threadfin rainbows and celestial pearl danios. How many can fit into a 29 planted tank. What will be remaining in the tank when those fish have been removed is a honey sunset...

    Ways to euthanize my precious angelfish

    Actually doing it this morning. I got called into work. Hopefully it goes smoothly. I hate, hate killing things but I also hate allowing something to waste away slowly for my own selfish reason. In the wild, he'd have been a meal for something by now and not have to have suffered as long as he...

    Ways to euthanize my precious angelfish

    Man I'm so nervous for tomorrow! I just hope I dose correctly and he doesn't freak out. I've read stories where the fish is desperate to get out of the water from the clove oil *sigh*

    Ways to euthanize my precious angelfish

    Yeah wish me luck! I try offering him a small bit if something to eat every day before his water changes but he isn't ever interested. I think he wants to die. I had to add more salt. I inky did a small amount when first putting him in there awhile ago but with the 30% daily changes I'm sure...

    Ways to euthanize my precious angelfish

    Yeah I've already picked my method. The repetitive stuff starts when people don't read the whole thing and see my final,decision lol Yeah he's still alive in the holding tank. Looks skinnier, not as bloated. I guess the lack of eating is starting to show. But he refuses to eat so not much I...

    I'm going to wait until my next day off. So he'll have to sit tight for 3 more days.

    Is this normal after a salt bath?

    So I got a new female guppy maybe a week ago to make a better ratio boys to girls in my tank. She's in QT but I noticed a white growth on her side and head. I dosed with Pima fix and melafix for a few days but it was growing worse So I gave her a salt dip and when placing her back in the QT she...

    Oh it's been a month at least. He's still really colorful. Not as bloated but I'm positive he has/had dropsy.
