    White nodules on reddish area, not ich

    Not the same lighting as the original pics were taken in the main tank and this is in the QT tank but I think it looks better after the first treatment. I guess I'm adding the second treatment. Edit: Yeah, even when I shine light direct on it, it appears the white blistering has lessened, if...

    White nodules on reddish area, not ich

    Okay, he's in a QT tank. First treatment just started. It says do up to three treatments max. I guess I'll see how he looks in two days after the first dose. Thanks for the feedback.

    White nodules on reddish area, not ich

    I have kanaplex. Does Ick X have methylene blue? I have to look at my bottle. So treat with kanaplex right away in the QT tank? I've doing a water change on the tank now and trying to catch that fish.

    White nodules on reddish area, not ich

    Any idea on what this could be? I'm gonna move this fish out to a QT tank and start salt treatment immediately (well in four hours as I gotta go to an event). I thought the tail had just gotten fin nipped before as it looked weird in that tail area before but I was gone for about and when I...

    Insectivore Diet for Chalceus

    If NLS Insectum is not available, maybe I'd use Fluval bug bites. I've fed them before and fish like it. The NLS has better ingredients and has other insects ingredients in addition to the black soldier fly larva that both contain. There was a long thread here about bug bites if anyone wants...

    Clown loach. MARKINGS

    When Live aquaria used to post me Divers Den freshwater fish every day, I followed them for years and saw maybe 2-3 oddball clown loaches in the groups they posted. I wish I had room for them when I saw them go up. The Bioaquatix breeder in Florida used to have a special section for odd balls...

    World's oldest Clown Loaches reach 30 years of age.

    I forgot to check on your update but your Dec 2023 YouTube video popped up on my YouTube suggestions. Love the fish and the updates. How long have you had the Rasbora as dithers? I believe you used to have bosemani rainbows but you said they beat each other up too much. How long ago was that...

    Floating feeding ring recommendations

    Id like I try a floating feeding ring. I think my clown loaches eat some of the pellets that fall down but I still would like to try a floating feeding ring. I found this Two Little Fishies MagFeeder product but Google has bad reviews on it (people liked it but the magnet rusted quickly for...

    Pacu caught by kid in CA- news segment

    So I knew nothing about these fish but was intrigued by the description of the Pacu teeth as "human like." I did a Google search and I have to say that their teeth are creepy looking to me.

    Pacu caught by kid in CA- news segment

    https://www.kcra.com/article/10-year-old-invasive-species-of-fish-dry-creek-near-antelope/45095913 This came up in my news feed even though I don't live in California. There's an article but the video shows more images of the fish. Do you pacu/piranha experts agree with gaming that it appears...

    Expensive to Feed Fish

    This topic has come up several times over the years. RD has a post about buying seafood from markets, I'll see if I can find it after this post. I feed NLS and Northfin now. The ingredients are inarguably better and I think they are better for the fish in the long run bc of the better...

    Bristlenose plecos VS SAE

    Do any of your rainbows pick at algae? I have a female millennium rainbow that really likes to pick at algae on my fake plants. I see a few others doing it but not as much as this one does and some of the same species rainbows I never see eating algae. I know they can't make a dent it in...

    Bristlenose plecos VS SAE

    I'm interested in how panda garra compare to SAE or bristlenose. I had 6 panda garra in my QT tank and there wasn't a spot of algae in it (other than in the HOB tube where they could not go) so they must have been eating it. I have some fish in QT now and algae is starting to grow on the...

    Questions to ask water Dept about water report

    I'll have to call water department tomorrow. Person I was transferred to never answered Water Hardness I researched water hardness for a few minutes. I had heard on various streams that Florida has hard water, Seattle area has soft (I've heard Cory mention this on Aquarium Co-op live streams...

    Questions to ask water Dept about water report

    I was looking over my water quality report. It gives a number to call with any questions. I recall from a previous thread, someone suggested to ask if they flush out the mains with higher levels of chlorine or chloramine and if they give notice of this? I think the thread says this is...

    Adding Seachem and tap water

    As others said, start buying "Safe" as it's more cost efficient. I use a python on my 125g. I'll measure out the amount of safe I'm going to put it and spread it throughout various part of the tank so it'll get dissolved as the tank fills up. Some of the powder falls directly into the water...

    Panda garra climbed in HOB

    Good point about them searching for flow. The 10g has almost none except the HOB discharge. The display has some powerheads so that environment will be better for them once they join the other 3 (and the two big panda garra I have in there.) This just reminded me of something my young clown...

    Panda garra climbed in HOB

    I was pleasantly surprised that my missing panda garra hadn't jumped onto the floor somehow but instead jumped into the hang on back whisper. I had 6 panda garra and 3 female rainbows left in my QT tank. Ive been hesitant about moving the panda garra as they are tiny and I was worried my big...
