Ponyo in a 20 Long

[nirbhao]

Ahhh the tank is looking so good!
(I hope you get well soon!)

Thank you and thank you

When I see snails cruising the Buce leaves I cringe.

 

[nirbhao]

There's got to be food there or something.

I got some new plants recently that had black algae on them. I did a hydrogen peroxide dip, but it came back pretty strong very quickly. They are in QT right now. Not sure the best course of action.

 

[nirbhao]

Pissed off little puff.

Got bladder snails at Petco Tuesday and today noticed little red spots all over this guy.



And that behavior is not awesome at all.

Those two are in the isolation box separated, and I dosed with Prazi pro.

Ugh. I'm really mad at myself.

 

[DreaminginBlue]

Aww, I hope they feel better soon!

 

[TMaier]

Poor little guy. His tummy looks so full.

 

[nirbhao]

Poor little guy. His tummy looks so full.

He likes to eat everybody else's food. I've tried feeding on opposite ends of the tank, but he's surprisingly fast.

Aww, I hope they feel better soon!

Thank you.

 

[nirbhao]

Question- if algae doesn't come off leaves with hydrogen peroxide and wiping them down, should I just prune them? Or should I try something stronger?

Behavior has dramatically improved. The spots are no longer red. Everybody was excited to eat their daphnia.

 

[nirbhao]

Good morning!

Tank looks fab! I'd cut the leaves if they are problematic.

O planted tank guru, which leaves would you cut? The sagittaria?

 

[Caliban07]

O planted tank guru, which leaves would you cut? The sagittaria?

Haha. Whichever leaves are covered in algae. Get rid.

 

[nirbhao]

Ah. Yes. They are in quarantine because I didn't want the algae taking over.

Good morning!

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with the thread because I wasn't subbed. Which tank is this?

Is this going to be for fish?

This is the 20 long. It has six pea puffers. Substrate is eco complete where there are plants. Light is a Current Satellite LED+. Pressurized CO2.

Good morning!

Good morning! Looking good. I can see a few puffs hovering around. Glad to hear they are recovering.

Thank you. I'm glad they're doing better, too. That was scary.

 

[nirbhao]

Bad news: the hoverer was not only hovering but also twirling like a synchronized swimmer. Cursory research points to whirling disease. That's cause by a parasite and symptoms can take 35 to 80 days to show. Considering that these guys are most likely wild caught, exposure would have happened before they were even in the country.

I had already treated with PraziPro. I may do a methylene blue bath. Poor little puff.

 

[snailpufferguy]

What an interesting little project. Ponyo really is a great movie.

 

[UntimelyLord]

The tank looks so cool, I hope the little puff gets better soon.
