Welcome to the forum!

With the aquasoil, typical cycle time is 1-3 months. As for your pH it's very low, I find some crushed coral helps in the filter. If the pH gets to low, like 5 or lower, it actually can kill off bacteria in extreme cases.
-
Yep, you've got it. Just overflow the water out.
-
It won't die from being alone. However you may not need to quarantine it. I personally would put some maracyn in the main tank and observe, to see if it heals up. It can often happen that when yous ee one fish with symptoms, others hare a problem as well but aren't presenting yet. This looks like the start of a bacterial infection from the one picture, but would be something else with more pictures/symptoms.
-
It's a different med and in my experience hasn't been as effected. You'd follow the directions on the package.
-
The only med that affects the snails will be prazi, Typically you don't need to med inverts. Or I should so I don't and haven't run into problems, Your mileage may vary.

As for something to strain the brine shrimp, we are slowly working on that as well. I'd say part of our process is pretty slow testing out lots of things to find out what the best is. Then making it better if we need to. Dean and I have been talking and we'll be working on some more testing and eventually we'll have a good solution to go with our eggs.

I've had the urge to correct the descriptions on a number of their product listings, but I didn't want to be THAT guy!
We welcome the help, a quick email, gets added to my todo list and I usually get changes done within 24 hours. I have to write the technical stuff for products, and then code all the custom stuff for them. It's a few other people's job's to proof what I've written. Past few weeks have been crazy, one person was out of town, one person is on Jury Duty, and the other was filling in lol. I'm also known to break grammar and such with edits.
Originally it had started, the 100 gram container with small sized measuring spoon is meant for a hobbyist level aquarist. Once we found out they arrived with the mistake of missing spoons, I had to make the edit quickly and clearly pulled a Cory 😛

.3tsp eggs tested and the hatch rate and separation did appear to be better than what I have been using. I will be tempted to run through my old stock extra quickly. Ty Co-op.
On a side note, under to Co-op website brine shrimp description it reads, "100 gram sized container is meant for most hobbyists level aquarists."
Wondering if it should read "The 100 gram sized container is meant for most hobby level aquarists."
Fixed 😉

@Kellyi had a good experience with aquabid. I had a very bad experience with Arizona Aquatic gardens. BBB grades them as F
Please review the guidelines, we don't discuss other aquarium companies both positive or negative. I'll lock this thread, I'm sure it's an honest mistake.

Ive never personally had Epsom salts cure a fish so I don’t really do them. As for water changes after 3 or 4 you’d be good to go if the goal was removing most of the meds.
-
Yes, plenty of room for those fish.
-
I doubt it's an issue, professional farms do 50 females to each male.
-
I'd say give it at least a week.
-
If the grass is well established it can work out, if it's newly planted they may dig it up.
-
I always leave them in the tank to resprout.
-
At this point it would be much harder to even find wild ones for sale. Commonly captive bred. Tons of aquarium fish are endangered, however commercially bred and abundant. Also many species that are tracked, the data is spotty at best. Lots of it looks like the population would decline. WIthout anyone following up to see if it did, or it grew.
-
There really isn't a good known method to treat dropsy, it's often fatal. Unfortunately there isn't a recipe for treatment as there can be different causes like different organ failure and constipation.
-
Common for fighting to happen with fry in the tank if they sense a predator.
-
Hard to say, could be bacterial infection or internal hemorrhaging. For now, I'd let the meds do their work. Or possibly add some salt to the tank.
-
Why couldn't you do this?
-
How does it affect ich X? it cuts into their profit margins. I've used ich x with about every dechlor under the sun and never had any adverse reaction. Also seen no positive difference by using hikari ultimate.

I haven't kept many "wet pet fish" but the ones I have I've made sure to keep some photos saved and organized.
When things are settled at the new place will Hank get his final resting place there?
That's the hope. Finally plant the maple tree and Hank.

I would go with the 90 degrees and salt method. WIth more information, we could weigh in more, like what the water parameters currently are including temps.

You don't have to buy the same size, typically something 50 cent piece size or larger will do ok. I'd add 2-3 to spread any aggression that may happen. Do a partial water change before hand and feed while adding them so fish are distracted by food instead of the new tank mates.
