I, personally, am squeamish around needles, so even if I were familiar with the anatomy of a fish, I doubt I could do any surgery on one of them. One would think that with some fish being extremely valuable (ie some koi pricier than a purebred cat or dog) that there would be more vets skilled...

Oops, yes it was nitrate! My mistake when typing! The nitrite was .0 and ammonia also .0 and nitrate 10. per the master kit tests (no strips, using the individual vials and drops kit). So I will order the gel goods for her, and will discontinue adding water treatments to her tank. I will make...

Yeah, it seems pretty extreme to me and I am not willing to perform "surgery" on her! I've been told that koi often have this problem from gulping air at the water surface, and that this is something that is done to extract the air from the swim bladder. But again, not something I am willing to...

Hmmm, she's in her own tank and her water parameters are 0 ammonia, 0 nitrates and 10 nitrites. Ph is 7.6 temp is 80 (main tank is usually around 79, so I raised her temp in hospital tank a little higher while she is being treated). I started her on fish tetracycline yesterday with a 75% water...

I have too many or no enough tanks, depending on if you ask me or my boyfriend (who HATES water changing days!!) Currently I have up and running the following: 90 gal~Blood Parrots, Common pleco, Red Tail Shark 65 gal~Blood Parrot, Angel Fish, Chinese Algae Eater 45 gal~Mollies, mollies and...

LOL!! I used the excuse that it was time to buy a new light bulb!! Turned out I was right!

Hi everyone! I found this site while searching for a cure for one of my beloved Blood Parrot cichlids, and HAD to become a member!! I have been keeping fish for approximately 4 yrs....and am now obsessed with them! So much so that I went from a small 2 gal betta tank to having 6 tanks inside...

Well, apparently my Kissing Gourami has A LOT of live food in her tank with her!!! I was wondering where two of my panda corycats had disappeared to! Guess its time to break out the 55 gal tank, the 24 gal tank and the 30 gal tank and cycle them, because according to the calculator, all my tanks...

I initially bought my first Clown Loach to rid one of my tanks of trumpet snails. She did a lousy job of it! But she proved to be one of the most entertaining fish ever! Now she has another clown friend in the tank with her, and I am considering dedicating an entire tank to Clown Loaches! In the...

I have a 4yr old Blood Parrot cichlid, Karen, who has always swam weird (ie sideways, upside down). We are almost positive this is swim bladder disorder, and have made sure that Anti-Bacteria Medicated Fish Foodshe has always received peas and fresh/defrosted bloodworms/krill, fresh live...

My BP's change color depending upon moods! If scared, they become more pale...if water parameters are wacky (because i got lazy or added a new fish) same thing..pale. If one of my BP's is pale, I check the water first, filter second (its always the water!! Lazy fish Mom!), and then check to see...
