My EBJD seems to have torn one of his pectoral fins almost completely off. I’m not sure how this happened, he was normal yesterday and when I went to feed the fish today I found him like this. It looks like he got his fin caught in something or got into a fight with one of my other fish. My...

I imagine this wouldn’t deal with any unbound ammonia although it does sound like a pretty good option for very large tanks or ponds.

Hey there! I’m aware of its existence but since we don’t get a very large product range here in panama I’m kinda stuck with what i can get :( I do know someone who orders his stuff online tho, I should look into that too.

Always glad to help! PM me if you need better directions :)

I was able to fund prime in one of the LFS yesterday. They only carry the smallest bottle which is a bummer but at least they have it hahahaha. Thanks anyway, i saw the AmQuel too in larger bottles, perhaps i'll give it a try once i run out of prime.

i got the API General Cure and started treatment. Hopefully this will help. Thank you for your advise :)

I checked on him again and he is pecking at the subtrate, I assume he’s eating, and he has a little thread of white poop attached to his butt. :( Should I assume its internal parasites and start treating the aquarium?

Hey guys! new comer here:) My electric blue jack dempsey is showing symptoms of being sick but I'm not sure what he has. He is living in a 125 gallon aquarium with 1 blood parrot - 3 inches, 3 angelfish 2.5-3 inches, a common pleco 7 inches, 5 zebra danios and 1 otocinclus catfish ( I haven't...

Ohh I see. I can imagine the strain is not very good on your back :S I don't have much trouble removing water, I use two buckets, the one for removing is the one we use for mopping and it has wheels. The thing is moving and lifting the 10 gallon bucket to refill the tank. I use a jug cause i...

Heyy!! its nice to see someone from panama in here! There are 4 other places that sell aquarium equipment that I know of. American PEZ is the aquarium version of American Pets, it is located in San Francisco ( Via Porras close to the Metro Drugstore), they mostly sell aqeon and tetra and not...

how exactly does it removes chlorine/chloramines if it refills directly from the faucet

Thank you everyone for you kind welcome and all your help!!

T Then I will add more ceramic rings and bio balls to see if this helps. Doing daily PWC is a bit strenuous since im doing it with a bucket ATM. My back suffers if i have to change more than 20 gallons :S

I have only seen Tetra (Aquasafe and Aquasafe plus) and the Aqueon water conditioner. These two remove chlorine, chloramines and heavy metals but they don't detoxify ammonia. I haven't seen any ammonia neutralizers, besides Prime, what other primers are good quality?

Hello, I bought extra filter media, the filter only came with some filter pads but it trully isn't much. My baskets are to full capacity right now. I may change one of the sponge ones with more ceramic ring and bio balls. That should help. I also don't use a heater, I actually live in central...

I do believe bacteria colonise all available surface, but i think another filter can do no harm, and perhaps my filter can't get to all the water in time to eliminate ammonia quickly enough. The snail idea is very clever. I do 15-30 gallon water changes everyday after feeding time because i...

i forgot to mention I was feeding twice a day, in the morning i feed the angels, danios, parrot and EBJD and at night i feed two veggie wafers to my pleco (he doesn't eat much during the day). Now I started feeding all the fish in the late afternoon because i read somewhere that ammonia...

The tank where I got the seeded media was much smaller than my current tank (70 gallon vs. 125 gallons) and was lightly stocked which is why i dosed 5-6ppm liquid ammonia for a few weeks until the colony was able to precess it in a 12h period. This tank (125 gallons) was bought for the pleco...

I have tested my tap water and parameters are 0 ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate. And I do believe Im under filtered, I thought they would be fine with a single canister filter until I got the money for a second one (2-4 months since they are all very small), but now i see i was mistaken. Its a Sun...
