    Nervous about possible myco

    http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u83/wolflover91/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG2544_zpsk0odcb3l.jpg So apparently rainbowfish are particularly susceptible to myco. One of mine has a red ulcer like wound. Not going to lie, I'm extremely nervous about it. If this wound responds to furan 2, is it...

    90 gallon stocking

    Hey guys - feeling a bit gloom at the moment. What sort of South American cichlids would fit into a 90? I just feel limited. Right now all that's in it is: 2 pictus (don't want them again hence having only two) 1 featherfin synodontis Some boesemanis and some diamond Tetras. I've just...

    I feel so awful, hospital tank ammonia spike

    I feel so terrible. I just can't even put it into words. I had a Boesemani rainbowfish in a hospital tank because he had a stubborn white spot, which I am assuming is a fungus, that would not go away. The rest of the tank was okay and I didn't want it to spread. I formerly had Pictus...

    Tidying up 90g wires

    Hi all. I have a 90g and two ten gallons. All of them, obviously, have wires behind them. How do you tidy up wires for your tanks? The 90g has the two filters, heater, and lights. Overall, not a ton of wires, but I still need to tidy them up. The ten gallon has an air pump, a filter, and...

    Stocking question

    I was thinking of getting a few (2 or 3) spotted pictus. I have a 90 gallon tank with diamond tetras, boesemani rainbows and a featherfin catfish who's 6 to 8 inches. Will the featherfin be okay with that arrangement or am I asking for trouble? Please let me know so I can make a sound...

    chance to get a few spotted pictus

    Hi, I have the chance to get a few spotted pictus. 2-3. They will be babies and quarantined. I have a 90 gallon tank with one featherfin, 6 boesemani rainbows and 6 Diamond tetras. I will be getting another filter as well (fx6 or fx5). If I were to get the pictus, will the featherfin be ok...

    Strange dot on Syno

    hello. I have a featherfin synodontis who is puzzling me a bit. He started out with a teeny area of fungus, and after a round of meds, you practically cannot see it. I imagine if it was necessary to treat him again for a fungal/bacterial infection, it would be cleared up very easily, since...

    Please Help - possible columnaris?

    Hi guys, I have a relatively new tank, with a relatively mediate stocking load - by all means, it's not overstocked, it's cycled, and I do water changes every week. But, I stumbled upon this: http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u83/wolflover91/100MEDIAIMAG0325_zps576671bb.jpg...

    Brown spot on Boesemani?

    Hi, I have had this particular Boesemani in a cycled and (understocked) 90 gallon tank. There were four others with him when he was purchased (and now there are six total and no other fish have this bump, other non-Boesemani tankmates included) and all seemed healthy. However recently I...

    90 gallon stocking suggestions and advice on catfish

    Hey. I seeded a 90g with about 120g-150g worth of filter gunk over about a week. The tank is ready to go and the fish in the tank prior are now in there. (Ammonia is 0, Nitrite readings are good, Nitrate readings are good). I am still watching these levels diligently, though, and won't be...

    Tank Upgrade!

    Hi guys, new here but not-so-new to the hobby. I'd consider myself beginner intermediate in terms of experience and knowledge, so don't be too afraid to suggest anything. So right now I have a 5 gal (being upgraded to a 10gal) with a betta inside, and also a 20g hexagon tank. Unfortunately...

    New to the forum..

    Hello all. We all have different journeys with our fish tanks, and we've all made mistakes along the way but the important part is to learn from them. I joined another fish keeping forum a few years ago and everyone felt a bit elitist there, so I had left. I've been scouring this community for...
