Went camping with for a night with Jimmy and Bob

[Velvet or flukes? in community tank with corydoras and amano shrimp]

I'm not sure it's either. WHat other symptoms besides flashing? What are the water parameters?

[The new fish room and studio build thread.]

Today we are working on lighting. Dean is working hard and jimmy is filming.

[The new fish room and studio build thread.]

Totes landed last week. @Bob helped me get them unloaded.

@Cory I sent me wife the email link for my wishlist so she would know exactly what I wanted, and she asked me if she orders it straight off my wishlist would it go under my account, in that I would get emails saying items shipped etc? I guess she doesn't want me to know if and what she orders. 

I'm not certain. I don't believe you should get any notifications. As long as she is ordering under her own account. 

[How effective are salt dips?]

I don't do dips. In a perfect world you get all the parasites on the fish. This still leaves parasites in the pond/aquarium that just reinfect. If dips worked. All fish would be dipped before leaving a fish farm and disease would never spread essentially. It can be difficult to get everything in 1, or even a few dips as if fish hold their gills closed, much less exposure to parasites in the gills vs the outside of the body.

[Anyone have any experiance with this light?]

If you read the reviews, it's confirmed that this light doesn't have the UV leds. Which are real and will hurt your fish. Lights like these in the saltwater world are referred to as "black box lights" They are very powerful, and life expectancy can be from 5 minutes to forever. They are crazy high light output, but it's a gamble. Usually far too much light for any freshwater tank.

[Please help! Fungal infection??]

I don't have nearly the experience with API fungus cure. I recommend using the general cure and Ich X instead. We put every corydoras we come into contact with through this treatment. As always if a fish has problem,  using meds can kill them, but not treating them also kills them.

[Otocinclus Quarantine troubles]

To me it looks like it's healing. I'd keep feeding well and observing. I think the hardest battle is going to be getting nutrition into them.

@Ken Dyer Just wanted to update you that Wishlist functionality is now live on the website. I know it missed your Birthday but it's ready for Christmas and your next birthday 😛

 

[WiFi plug]

I believe you misheard. You can control al the things plugged into a strip of it’s plugged into the WiFi plug.

[Peacock breeding setup]

If you are gonna use the 29gs for breeding. I'd probably just do all 29 gallons. You could divide the tanks with matten filters or other dividers if needed to raise the fry. 

[The value of snails 😉]

Finally, I can become a snail farmer. 

[40 gallon breeder]

Can definitely do sponge filters only. I've run whole fish rooms of 40 breeders with sponge only.

[Algae Wafers]

In my opinion, the hikari algae wafers are the best. Tetra is low quality and hard to get fish to eat. the NLS are really high in spirulina, most bottom dwellers prefer more meat. 

[Please help! Fungal infection??]

i'm not sure what it is, in one of the pictures it looks like 3 things are hanging off it's tail, maybe parasite?

[Crypt using lots of root tabs]

Reduce the light to slow down how much they want to eat.

[Well water, ammonia and prime]

Prime would do that, but if you say change 30% of the water at a time, the ammonia would only read 0.33 in the tank which is pretty low and probably doesn't even need prime. 

[Out of 400s]

As far as I know, you do the rocks/mables in a tupperware to have the eggs fall into.

[Aquarium Co-Op Warehouse Photos]

Not all the totes are in yet. The shortest row is 7 totes, the longest ones will be 15. 

[Blackened rainbowfish, is this a disease?]

Might just be darkening to show dominance.  All the other fish look normal? Is there an air stone in the tank? He's breathing a bit fast and you have lots of wonderful plants. Could be low oxygen in the morning if no air stone. 

[Need expert source for care of African Dwarf Frogs]

I wouldn't call myself an expert. They are carnivores and can be slow eaters. In general they do well in tropical fish conditions. They prefer having something to rest on near the top of the water, like thick leafed plants. Do you have any pics of yours? Do they otherwise look healthy?

[Prazipro and Fritz ParaCleanse]

I wouldn't do both at the same time. Prazi Pro isn't part of the trio, because paracleanse has prazi in it. It's prazi and Metro. Now I believe prazipro is a higher concentration and could be done separately. But paracleanse has both and seems more broad spectrum for the quarantine trio in our experience. 

[Corydora Infection Every Few Months!?]

You can use paracleanse with salt. However the fish is exhibiting bacterial issues. I would let it sit in the 1 tablespoon of salt per 2 gallons. Salt takes time to fight off the infection. 

[API Melafix]

I don't think Melafix will do it. I would find a way to get to 1 tablespoon of salt per 2 gallons, which probably means removing the plants.
