Charestv

Just from research I've done online whatever it is seems to thrive in warmer water. But before I just went and did it. I wanted some actual confirmation that that was a thing. Instead of just trusting the internet lol.

They seemed to start getting better on there own. However all The stuff I need for the food came in today. I'll make it tonight and start to feed it tomorrow. I have been trying to catch the 3 to put them in quarantine however I still am unable to catch them. So I guess I will just need to dose the whole tank in ich x. Should I also lower the temp in the tank to like 75? It should help right?

Thank you for this information i will go out tomorrow morning for the supplies and start this tomorrow hopefully it helps them.

After doing some research i am starting to think that this might be stress ich. As the spots are not getting worse at all rapidly the fish has been the same for a few days now i would say. Possibly when we lost power is when the fish got stressed out and caused this. Would there be anyone that can help confirm my suspicions or possibly point me in another direction. I went to get new food today and cleaned the filter this past weekend along with adding some more beneficial bacteria (since the filter was cleaned). I do plan to add 5 or 6 pearl gourami to this tank in the future however this will not be until the current fish get better and those fish will be out of quarantine.

It seems to be the same today as yesterday if not alittle better. I checked the parameters this morning and know they were the same there been since the tank was setup. But don't remember the numbers. I can post a picture tomorrow of what it is. The tank is kept at 80 degrees though.

So we lost power for a couple days a couple weeks ago and I was able to use a generator to run the tank on and off. However because of that we lost the bristlenoses. Now there are 2 bleeding hearts that look like this. At first I thought possibly ich however it isn't getting worse then this and doesn't seem to be salt like spots. I tried to get them out and quarantine them. But there are to many hiding spots in the tank to get them out. Is there something I can treat the whole tank with to help prevent a spread?

I don't remember where I left off last but here is an updated picture of the tank. There's 24 bleeding heart tetra 14 black skirt only 3 cardinal left I think 12 corys and 7 angels. Today I added a couple small powerheads to get the water to move alittle more. I'm just hoping there not to big where they will stress the angels out. They seem to be fine still coming right up to the glass as usual when I stand at it.

Thank you! It's unfortunate however i wad not very confident in them because there were shipping for so long. It was shipped on a Monday and delivered on a Thursday

A few changes in the past couple weeks since the last update. A couple of the corys didn't make it. We still have 6 that seem health. My guess is it was stress as the tank parameters are fine. Last week we had recieved an order from aqua Hauna of 24 cardinal tetra. However also due to stress is my guess they have slowly been dieing as well as we are down to only 10. Today we went to the lfs for 7 angelfish to add to the tank. Next week depending how many cardinal are left we may try some of there's. Unless anyone has a reliable source for some please let me know.

The tank is growing in nicely so far I think. I did however change the lights as the flood lights that were on it were to bright causing a ton of alge. This past weekend we added 10 Cory catfish, 15 black skirt tetra, and 2 albino bristlenose plecos that we haven't seen since they were put in.

Congratulations baby fish are the cutest

I had a day off of work yesterday and finally got around to filling and setting up the new to me tank that i acquired last month.

The tank is beautiful cant wait to see the progress on it!

I used filter sand instead I read in a couple spots it's alot more forgiving then play sand. Hopefully that's true as it was 4 times the price haha. There's pea gravel and a fine layer of pond soil under the sand though.

Got this tank and stand off marketplace a little while ago. And I finally got around to setting it up today. My daughter and I went on hikes to gather the rocks for it. And after hunting all the local fish stores we finally found a good piece of driftwood for it. So I got that boiled last week and soaked it for the past week as well. But today all the plants came in and we filled the tank up No fish as of yet since the tank is needing to go through it's cycle. But I know I would like angelfish and some kind of community tank to go with it. Hopefully in the next few days the tank clears up and there are no more tannins relieved by the driftwood. But only time will tell. There's a powerhead in the tank with filter floss in it to catch the small particles since I've read canister filters aren't really good at getting those.
