[Albino Silver Arrowana looking rough]

I would start with salt at 1 tablespoon per 2 gallons is what I would do.

I love the interactive map - I typed in many states to see if there would be a difference (I am the only weird one to do it).  Joke is on us.  No difference which I already knew, 2-3 days.  I find the humor in that.  I don't know if that is funny to the Coop because that graphic costs money to make and now host.  Still it reinforces the obvious 2-3 days everywhere in the U.S. The Website looks slick though, your work is paying off.  That is a honest, slightly bias, but educated opinion.

It actually is fully interactive, inside of washington will show you 1 day. I wish usps would update their estimates a bit better but they don’t want to admit that Seattle to Florida might take 3-4 instead of 2-3 days.

[Getting Aquarium Co-Op Products Shipped Internationally...found an option?]

We have customers that do this, however we don’t offer support. It can take a long time to have things forwarded. Also know your customs laws as things get seized. Also we can’t provide documentation for import. So do it at your own risk and ask the company before hand what you would need and if you will be able to provide that before ordering. For instance we won’t have the chemical break down of dechlorinator sand such, and can’t help you get it.

This is the first time I've written on this or any other forum so I'm not sure how communication is done when it gets to the point of making transactions.  I live in Bellevue, not far from Home Depot and I would be happy to give you frogbit.  Timing may be important though because once a week I throw out around 6 sq. inches of it.  Now, if you're interested, I'll hopefully get a lesson on how people buy, sell and  give away on this forum.

We don't allow giving away, or selling on this forum. There are risks to meeting up in person, shipping, scamming etc. None of which we want to taint this forum. 

[Poopy Problem]

Bleach should be ok, as that's what chlorine is. If you are worried dose a tiny bit of dechlorinator in each tank when you do it. 

[Redoing my 20gal High Tank]

You may not have to completely cycle it again, but I would look at it from a perspective of getting a tank stable. Why do you have to remove all of your substrate and decor? 

[White spot on gold gourami]

Looks like missing scales or a small wound. Keep an eye on it for now. 

[Coroner's report please . . .]

What were you feeding in the tank and when was the last time you saw her eat?

[Enjoy Nature Daily]

Was working with @Lizzie Block at the new house when this guy came strolling by. Lizzie spotted him.

[The new fish room and studio build thread.]

Garage door boarded up while we wait for the replacement. This allows us to keep putting up the tongue and groove.

 

while removing dry wall we found a big mouse/rat nest. This in combination with rodent activity in the attic means we are removing all the insulation up top, sterilizing, sealing up any holes and re insulating. We already needed to insulate the sky lights as they didn’t have any, and with the fish room humidity that would have just lead to mold. 

[Murphy Cookies!]

Wow this is awesome!

[Water Sprite Grow Leggy?]

Could be you have narrow leaf variety instead of broad leaf? 

[Help nugget]

I'd start with 1 tablespoon per 2 gallons, so 5 tablespoons for the 10g tank. 

[Help nugget]

Do you have a QT tank? Some salt may help clear this up, it's my go too when I don't know what is wrong with something. 

[Heeeeeelp myyy fiiisshhies]

Start with the basics, water parameters, picture of the tank, what fish. 

[Help me save my Hillstream Loach!]

Seems like the right meds, can you see how they are doing at the store you bought them from?

[Not sure what this is on my one and half years old zebra danio]

Hard to say, if you had a QT tank, I'd try it in QT with salt.

I don't have any personal experience with breeding african tetras. Perhaps @Dean’s Fishroom has?

that looks nice 🙂

any plans for larger tanks besides the 800? 

None currently. Large tanks are expensive and a lot of work, and not always more fun than smaller tanks. 

[Let’s see what you feed your PUFFERFISH!]

I primarily feed clams on the half shell, and shrimp. I mix in ramshorn snails that I raise up in tanks eating fish food and such for a different vitamin set. Mix in other shelled things like muscles and different types of clams when I happen to pick em up from the store. 

[German Blue Ram Breeding Advice]

Setup the dedicated breeding tank, and raise the fry there. As for drip acclimating, I personally never do this. 

[Stumped - Angel Fish Issue]

To me it looks like cysts and not fungus, but that could just be the pics. I'd do 1 tablespoon of salt per 2 gallons for a few weeks since it's in QT. 

[Circular Flow Breeding Aquarium]

I think you're mixing two designs. A false bottom for egg scatterers works but you remove the adults. The other would be where you separate fry from the parents. I'll explain that below.

I'm not sure I ever showed it, but essentially you silicone glass in the tank to make a V from one end to the other, so that the adult fish can't get to the other side. Then you use a powerhead at the bottom of the tank that slowly blows from the side with the parents through the v, leaving the fry on the other end, they can then go behind the glass to get away from the flow and wait to be netted out by the hobbyist. 

[Substrate change late in the game]

I don't think your substrate is the problem. I'd just try different plants, gets some root tabs and experience. Plants grow in all substrates around the world. Most plants can grow even without substrate just floating in water. Outside of compacted sand, substrate is a way to hold plants down and possibly a way to deliver nutrients. Root tabs will deliver nutrients and that gravel will hold it down.
