[Severum Help!]

Thanks! I’m trying paracleanse in case it’s gill flukes. I also have kanaplex on hand and will try if it doesn’t get better.

[Severum Help!]

I just completed a 50% water change and dosed with paracleanse.

[Severum Help!]

He’s been skittish lately, unlike before. And I hadn’t noticed that redness near his gill til now. Thanks for the reply. 

[Severum Help!]

Can someone help diagnose what’s wrong with my  severum? He stopped eating as aggressively as he used to. I also noticed some redness on his right gill. Is the redness near his gill normal?

PH - 7

Temp - 78

Ammonia/Nitrite- 0.0

Nitrate - 30ppm

[EBA’s have eggs! What now?]

They’re in a 75G with some red head tapajos and a red severum. I think I’ll see how it goes with the parents rearing the fry. Thanks for the info!

[Pump for water changes?]

I have a 75G that I set up recently. I use a Python to drain/fill during water changes. If you already have a Python, I see why you would want a pump to drain. In my case the Python takes a while to drain, and I am considering a pump for that as well. However, I will likely keep using the Python to refill.

Anyway, I don’t have a recommendation, but thank you for the post!

[EBA’s have eggs! What now?]

 

I got a couple of EBA’s recently and noticed the following over the last few days:

 - The female EBA (Assumption based on washed out color in  face) began hiding in a corner over a rock

- A 2nd EBA (likely male) is keeping other fish away from the area 

While looking at the female EBA just now I spotted some eggs!

What now? I’m new to fish keeping and am not sure what to do.  

[How many more fish?]

I was definitely hoping to add some EBAs, might have to limit that to 1, and some tetras. Hmm, I have some thinking to do. Might need another 75G lol. Thanks for all the feedback!

[How many more fish?]

Here is my 75G with 1 Large AC sponge filter and 1 Tidal 110 HOB. I have 10 sterbi corydoras and 4 geophagus red head tapajos. How many electric blue acaras can I add without overstocking? 

[LFS - EBAs had Ich, were treated, and now for sale]

Thanks for the replies! I’ll give them a call and see if they’ll hold some for me, otherwise I’ll just wait another week. As a new hobbyist, I haven’t had to deal with ich and would like to avoid it.

[LFS - EBAs had Ich, were treated, and now for sale]

Hello,

I am new to the hobby, purchased a 10G in 11/2023 and a 75G in 2/2024. The 75G went through a fishless cycle and I am now adding fish. My LFS has some electric blue acaras that I want for the 75G, but their stock of EBAs was on hold last week due to ich.  I called yesterday and the fish are no longer on hold and available for sale. Should I have any concerns about purchasing fish that recently had ich? I am wondering if I should buy or wait another week or two.
