Ok thank you I will see if I can make room in my fish room. And I will continue the maracyn2. Once I isolate him should I also treat the existing tank he's in or no?

Ph:7.2 Nitrate:25 Hardness:150 Buffer:80 Ammonia:0 Hello fellow fish nerms, I notice today one of my galaxy Rasboras have some red bump on his body. I have never seen anything like this before. I am guessing it's cancer or bacteria infection. I already put marcyen in the tank. If any knows what this could be and how they treat that would be great to know. Thank you

Thank you it took a while for them to grow but once did they did. They never stop growing

The flag fish are quit a specktical.as for filtration on the 40 gallon aquarium I have an canister filter fluval 207. Would that be enough? I also have alot of vallanseria.

Hello aquarium co op forum. I have an 40 gallon aquarium tank that's been running for 4 years. In the beginning of tank I had black beard algae and I still have some remnants left to this day. I was thinking about putting in some flag fish or ammona shrimp I have 5 otos and 7 juli Cory's, 11 beckford pencilfish, 1 Bolivian ram. Which one would be better at eating the alage and that won't over crowd my tank. Thank you ufor any responses.

Awesome thank you so much for the response and I will do more research on getting one.

No i haven't but I have tried drawf sag and thats works like a carm with low light setup.

Currently I have an fluval 3.0 light on it but I use two lights on it. However fluval 3.0 is bright enough for both lights I had on it so I just have that one on it. For the Substrate use a mixture of fluval aquarium soil and eco complete. For fertilizer I use the best fertilizer wich is easy green. And easy iron.

So my PH is 6.5 and kh is 0 Thank so much for the very nice comments you guys I really appreciate it. I have very soft water lol but my puffer tank has aragonite sand and coral rocks in filtration

Awesome that's great to hear I might look into get a Bolivian ram. I also that way harder the German blue rams because they need hotter temperature water. Which I have the 40B on 76 degrees so that sound like a fantastic idea thank you so much. My 90 gallon the I am currently cycling right I am thinking of doing an red shoulder severum and a school of bosmani rainbow fish and some geophagus tapajos red and a blue phantom pleco. If you have another stocking ideas that would as personal as a severum would I would love to hear it.

Thank you so much and I never thought about them and do you think if I keep one in there it wouldn't be over stocking because if so, I was thinking about getting a new center pice fish for that thank. I had a female pearl gourami that I got from a breeding that live for a little over 5 years. I have 11 to 12 beckford pencilfish and 7 juili corydoras and 5 octos.

I also wouldn't mind to take any feedback for my tanks and I am excited to be part of this community of fellow aquarium keepers.😊

Hello afishnado I love all your tanks and I have breed some apistogramma cacatuoides double red in the past but I will have to try maybe breeder so rainbow fish in the future. I am also think about getting some bosmani rainbow fish for my 90 gallon once it's done cycling.

The first picture is a 5 gallon I remodel and has 2 sparkling gourami and ramshorn snails. I breed the ramshorn snails to feed to my figure 8 puffer Kirby which is in the second picture. He or she is in 32 gallon fluval flex which is been set up for 8 to 9 months. The last picture is my 29 gallon community aquarium with 4 harlequin rasbora and 2 peckcock gudgeon and group of ramshorn snails. I am going to get some more harlequin rasbora in the next couple days because it's too small of school. I am thin like 3 or 4 More of the harlequin rasbora would be great and probably more peacock gudgeon as well If find any near me lol.

Hello my name is Michael and I have been for close to four years and started using aquarium co op products since I first started having planted aquariums. I have never had a bad product and plant from aquarium and love all the products the co op team make. I have 6 tanks currently in my room. 5 them are fresh water and one of them is brakish. This is my first planted tank I started out and has grown over the 3 + years I have it. I am currently cycling an 90 gallon as we speak too. The 40 gallon breeder has 11 to 12 beckford pencilfish and 7 juili corydoras and 5 octos. And has fluval 207 canister filter running it. Here also my other tanks.

Awesome I am so excited and thank you all for the responses.

Awesome and thank you for the responses.will be running an scheme tidal 110 and currently at used sponge filter from another to kick off the cycle. However I am looking into getting an second on the back if needed. Will that be enough filtration?

I am currently Cycling an 90 gallon aquarium for a severum centerpiece fish aquarium. I also was thinking of doing 6 geophagus tapajos red with them and maybe a school of bosmani rainbow. However I feel love with the blue phantom pleco when I saw for tank mates recommended for severums. Would a blue phantom ple be too much for stock with the rest of the fish I mentioned or would it be fine? Plz and thank for the responses

Thank you guys for all the feed back. I definitely feel more confident on getting an oscar now. I was thinking about getting a severum because i was afraid that it will be too small of an aquarium. So thank you guys so much

Hello I would like some advice on stocking a 90 gallon aquarium. I have been in the aquarium hobby for close to 3 years and have learned a lot and currently have 6 tanks. I have been thinking that it might be time to start getting some large aquariums. The biggest tank i own is a 40 gallon aquarium. One of the first fish i saw when I started was an oscar. Ever since I wanted one for the longest time and I have a perfect place currently for an 90 gallon aquarium. I been doing research online and saw most people have been saying an 75 gallon up to 12 gallonaquarium is the minimum tank size. I was wondering if one oscar would be happy In an 90 gallon for most of it's life or should I would wait until I have enough space for an 125 gallon tank, wich is 6ft long. If so I was thinking maybe a severum instead or anything else you guys could come up. Thanks for any input.

Would an 5 gallon tank still be for quartine or should I just quartine him in the 32.5 gallon tank.

Yes i am only going to have one for my 32.5 gallon tank. I was planning on use the 5 gallon tank for quartine only and then moving the puffer into 32.5 gallon thank after being treated if that would be ok. Also dose the 8 figuer puffer need to be slowly transition from fresh water in an sperate tank (like the 5 gallon quartine tank) or could I drip acclimate him to an brakish tank after quartine. The specific gravity of the 32.5 gallon tank i have, would be 1.006 throught 1.008. Thank you for the advice agian I really appreciate it.

Sorry for the mispelling and the incorrect verbiage in an rush lol.

Ya I have heard form of care guides on redits video care guides on YouTube that they like low end brakish water and they live longer in brakish water to than in fresh water too. But they thing about the 8 figure puffer fish that has been really hard to find out is, how convert them from fresh water to brakish. Because I know most of 8 figure puffer are sold as fresh water puffers.

Hello I have a 32.5 gallon flex tank and i'am doing research on getting an 8 figure puffer fish. The tank has been set up with freshwater for about two months and has been established. However, I'am slowly converting to brakish water as we speak. There is 0 ammonia, 0 Nitrite, 0 Nitrate, and an ph of 8.0 throught 8.5, and tempeture around 79 degrees. My question, what is the best method of quartine of a puffer fish and what is the best medication to treat the puffer for bacterial and parasites? I would also love to know experiences on how to transition a 8 figure from fresh water to brakish water. I also have an 5 gallon quartine tank already established for little over an month. Any advice would be very helpful plz and thank you.
