  1. -Do daily waterchanges -Use API Melafix -Put him in a QT tank
  2. Hey, I wanna get my female swordtail a friend. I believe she is a red velvet swordtail. My question is, in order for them to be friends do I have to get another female red velvet sword. Or can I get any kind of swordtail. Thanks!
  3. the PH is a little high for discus, discus like it at 6-7. as far as how many I would do 6 discus.
  4. There is no doubt in many fish keepers minds that the xtreme red krill flakes are "the best fish food on the market". And as much as I do agree that the xtreme red krill flake is really good, how about the New Life Spectrum Tropical Fish Diet Pellets. Lets take a look, First 10 Ingreidents in each foods New Life Spectrum Tropical Fish Diet Pellets Whole Antartic Krill, Giant Squid, Whole wheat flour, whole menahaden fish, Ulva Seaweed, Chlorella seaweed, Wakame seaweed, Kelp, Garlic, Ginger 7/10 of these ingreidents are natrual Xtreme Red Krill Flakes Krill meal, fish meal, shrimp meal, wheat flour, soy flour, brewers dried yeast, sodium alginate, spirluna, soy lechitan, corn starch 5/10 of these ingeidents are natrual Both of these quality foods have krill as there first ingreident. Krill will enchance colors in fish, especially the redish, orangeish color. New Life spectrum food has more quality/ natrual ingreidents. Price Newlife Spectrum Pellet: $16.90 usad (5.3oz) Xtreme Krill Flakes: 14.99 usad (3.5oz) Newlife spectrum food is cheaper per the oz. Availibility From my research I have found that it is hard to find xtreme food outside of USA. I live in Canada, so in my experiance it was tough finding the xtreme food after watching all the awesome reviews. Infact in order to get xtreme food you have to order off amazon.com meaning you have to pay more for shipping, if you live somewhere other then usa. Where as the newlife spectrum food is much easier to find outside of the usa. Its in all of the fish stores I've been to. i also know that you can find newlife spectrum food in europe and north america, not too sure about asia. You can get your hands on newlife spectrum food easier and cheaper then xtreme flakes. Conclusion I like newlife spectrum food better then xtreme. I find that there ingreidents are better quality then extreme and its cheaper then xtreme. and because I am a teenager in this hobby I look for the cheapest yet, best quality food. Which in my opinion is newlife spectrum. I beleive that xtreme has better marketing and advertisement and therefore is more popular. Newlife spectrum is an underated food. What do you like better?
  5. Hey I got a raibowfish from my lfs but dont remember what kind of rainbowfish i got. Do you guys know?
  6. I would move the fish with pop eye to like a hospital tank. Just because your other fish in that tank may not like those meds because they are not sick.
  7. and I forgot one thing, pop eye can be used by over feeding!
  8. Looks like popeye. This can be caused by poor water qualities. The poor water qualities is probably not so much your fault because it most likely came from not using a water conditioner or using a water conditioner that is obviously not working. Stuff like chlorine or chlorimine may cause something like this. For Treatment I would do the following: -Treat with Aquarium Salt -Feed Quality Food -Use api maracyn -MOST IMPORTANTLY use another water conditioner (it may just be that your water conditioner expired) Here are some water conditioners I have used in the past or present and have found they work very well -Fritz Complete -Seachem Prime Water Conditioner https://www.amazon.com/Fritz-Complete-Water-Conditioner-16oz/dp/B00G7RH1RU/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=fritz+complete&sr=8-1 Sorry! Something went wrong! WWW.AMAZON.COM Hope This helps, 🙂
  9. There not that popular in Canada. I have been looking everywhere for one.
  10. try Fritz PH Netrulizer, this will remove chlorine, chlorimine, amonia, and increase/ decrease the ph to 7.0 (if thats the number your going for)
  11. Do you think my betta fish would eat my shrimp in a 5 gallon? My betta fish is a male koi plakat. and I want cherry shrimp.
  12. Introducing some tanins will help decrease the PH (driftwood, almond leaves).
  13. agree with @Andy's Fish DenBut if your looking to breed for profit , I would try at maybe sterbai cory doras. I know they are at high demand in some states/ regions
  14. With my experiance when I see a fish on their back trouble breathing, they die with in a few hours. I don't know if there is much that can be done. What probably happend was that he/ she injured their swim bladder. This can be caused by trying to jump out of the aquarium. I wouldn't try to add airation because gouramis have a labrynth organ, meaning that they dont get oxygen from the water but that they go up to the surface for oxygen.
  15. You could do a large school of like (30, maybe more) cardinal tetras or neon tetras to add some more color. With maybe some congo tetras (8) and some cory catfish (12). With your shrimp.
  16. Try Macaryn i believe api makes this product
  17. You can try dosing salt in your bettas tank
  18. Could you get a clearer shot of the betta? Keep an eye on her and see if any more symptoms develop, if so let me know. As far as speeding up the nitrogen cycle on your 10gallon there are a few things you can do that will cycle the aquarium "imiedetley" or with in a few days. You can sprinkle some food in the 10 gallon to cause amonia which can cycle the aquarium in a few days. You can use botteld amonia that will also help speed up the nitrogen cycle. Fritz Turbo Start (heres a link to the product) Amazon.com WWW.AMAZON.COM Fritz Turbo Start claims that it cycles your aquarium imediatley and is safe to add fish. I do not persanolly beleive that it cycles your aquarium imediatley but that it allows you to do a fish in nitrogen cycle much easier. You can also do a waterchange and dump some of the dirty fish water in the 10gallon aquarium. I persanolly like the sprinkling the food in the aquarium, method just because its simple and cost effective. I am currently cycling my 36 Gallon and am using this method and its working very well. I would agree with you not to use the filter media from your 2.5 gallon just because it could be a parasite desaese (which I suspect it is) and some of those parasites could be on the media. When it comes to treating your fish remove the media as it will remove the meds from the water. Hope this helps 🙂 Can you try to send a better picture of your betta fish?
  19. Do you guys think i could do neon tetrad with my betta in a 5gallon?
  20. Idk about "easy" but they are definitely are a fun breeding project
