    Can bichirs hunt down guppies?

    I wouldn't without knowing the cause of the dropsy.

    Anyone know what this is!!!

    I hope you didn't use that expire boxed. If the kanaplex alone is working, then just treat for maximum dosage (total 3 treatments)

    How does this happen?

    Test your KH (buffering capacity) from the tap and in the tanks. Your water supply could have also changed recently.

    GT's with JD's

    Depends on the tank size and temperament of the JD and if you don't mind having one that looks beat up. What size are the current 2 GTs

    Shadow Bass

    send an email to jonah'saquarium or zimmermansfish to see if they can get some. If they can get some but it's illegal in your state, then they won't sell it to you.

    ornate grownig

    Polys go through growth spurts... longer, and then fatter.. So if you notice no length increase, then it more likely put on more girth in the coming months.

    RO water changes *causing* HITH?

    360 ppm TDS is still pretty high for an oscar (long term). When you treated with esha or metro, was the treatment water based? Dr. Edward Noga suggests the following treatment using metro 1. Bath a. Add 19mg/gallon and treat for 3 hours. Repeat every other day for 3 treatments. 2. Prolonged...

    Vieja cichlid and pike cichlid?

    Crenicichla johanna and Crenicichla sp venezuela (strigatas haven't been exported since mid 2000s) are not smaller pikes like compressiceps. If anything they are part of the lugubris family and easily reach 12", even for females. They are far from being placid. Raising from these from...

    Seachem paraguard

    I've never had a fully cycled quarantine tank lose cycle using paraguard for 3 weeks. I've used it in a large 200+g tank with large fish, and never had a mini cycle. I've even used in on lungfish, bichirs and common pleco, and dwarf pleco at 100% dosage with no issues during a 3 week treatment.

    New territory for me

    I would exclude the neets from the list if you want to keep nicaraguenses. They simply hate each other. In the wild, nics have a relationship with Dovii by helping protect their young, and in return the Neets are kept away from the Nics. Reduce the drama and don't keep both in the tank.

    Confused New tank owner

    Still a lot of fish for a 96g tank. You have around 6 months to get a decent tank (300+ US gallons) with at least 36" wide (front to back) dimensions.

    Aquarium chemical conditioners

    Remove toxic ammonia - ammonia resins or ammonia chips Remove nitrates - nitrates resins Remove particulates - filters with micron cartridges or diatomaceous earth filters (like the good old Vortex filters) There aren't any liquid chemicals that remove the above.

    Confused New tank owner

    With that bioload, clean the substrate everyday, with 100% water change. I would get used to that regime since the tank is too small long term for adult size. It's good for life for: 1 oscar or 2 blood parrots with small fish or 2 jewel cichlis with other small fish

    polypterus teugelsi

    So they shipped it overnight, and you got DOA? Did they pack the bichirs with oxygen vs air in the bag?

    So you disconnected the output tube and drained the water contents into a container/bucket, prior to connecting it back up?

    Fx5 noises

    air bubbles... it's self priming so it should eventually go away. There should be fixes on how to reduce the noise so that it goes away faster... quick google search. a quick hint with canisters. If the output tube is empty, you have a better chance at removing a majority of the air in the...

    Moving parrot fish from 125 gallon aquarium

    Moving territorial fish from one house to another house can change the dynamics of the hierarchy, and that's not even changing the tank itself. I've observed that the fish use reference points outside of the aquarium which can cause territorial disputes. By reducing the tank foot print by even...
