    I’m not too sure why this is happening. But my flowerhorn has lost his appetite and his head hump has gotten smaller. This has happened multiple times where he’ll make a recovery be energetic again and then slowly become lethargic and not eating. He’ll often look at food but eventually spits it out and doesn’t eat. I’m not sure what to do. My water parameters are normal and I have the temp at 82 currently. Any advice on what it could be?

    Does anyone know what these white lumps are? 0 Ammonia 0 Nitrites 20 Nitrates PH 7

    Removed the female and he's moving around a lot more. Going to let him rest a bit before trying and breed again

    Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 20 PH 7 Not sure what happened but overnight this male ram suddenly turned lethargic with rapid breathing one cloudy eye and wispy front fins. I did a 50% water change and will start treatment with Kanaplex

    https://youtu.be/BAlB83hYHTs found these worms crawling in the substrate of my tank. What are they? Are they harmful? Tubifex worms?

    Is this mycobacterium? I know that this apisto will pass. But any way to prevent it from spreading to any other fish?
  7. Sunny Doan
    Should I use the flakes? Or the medicated recipe for the food?
  8. Sunny Doan
    Yes

    Not all in the same tank my parameters have been fine over the course of the months that I’ve had them. 0 ammonia, nitrites, 20 nitrates. It’s 3 separate tanks in which some are breeding tanks for breeding pairs and others are in a community setup.

    I’m not sure why but the past 4-5 pairs of apistos and cichlids have all died due to some form of tumor/growth growing on the side, head, or any part of their body eventually leading them to death. Anyone know why these happen to only my cichlids? Should I just treat all my tanks?
  11. Sunny Doan
    20-30 nitrate, 0 nitrite, 0 ammonia. Ive only treated with salt, I havent used any other type of med since I didnt know whether it was bacterial or parasitical.

    I've been getting this sickness for two of my male nanochromis. And several other apistos. All which have passed now. However, it is only apistos and my nanochromis, my rams seem to be doing fine in the tank. The only difference between that tank and others is it is dirted and is capped with sand. Any issues with this sand causing diseases? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Cemex-50-lb-30-Mesh-Sand-200000278/100321932 Its weird since these fish can go fine for months and then out of the blue contract a disease and die off. This time the nanochromis seems to have a large bump on its head, I have moved him from the sand in case that was the causing factor.

    I have no issues with this statement however, there is only one angel with a rounded belly filled with eggs. The larger angel never seems to have eggs so that is why I am unsure of it's gender. Neither of their breeding tubes look like a females breeding tube either.

    I have two angels that have been breeding for quite a while now. Although none of the eggs have been fertilized ever and this would be around their 5-6 batch. It's been bugging me for awhile now so I want some help identifying the angels breeder tubes and figuring out which is a male or if they are both females. The second angel is my larger angel of the pair and the first angel is the smaller and fatter of the pair. I want to know if I either have a male who's aim is really bad or two females paired off. I've never caught them laying eggs before.

    Definitely going to be using slate rock to weigh down this gigantic wood piece
  16. Sunny Doan
    Currently working on trying to get pressure washer. And some rocks to sink it! I remember trying to sink my first piece of wood and it AGGRESSIVELY jumped out of the water and smacked me back.
  17. Sunny Doan
    I’ll be looking out for foam! Hopefully it doesn’t foam out. I really hope that it isn’t it’s a really nice piece
  18. Sunny Doan
    looks to me like guppy grass
  19. Sunny Doan
    Great idea, I'll soak the bottom half right now to get any bugs out, then spray it out with hot water and peroxide to disinfect it! Thanks for all the great ideas!

    Yea, I was planning on getting some sort of wood eat pleco, and my kuhli loaches into my 55 gallon so they can have some new hiding spots!
  21. Sunny Doan
    Im planning on trying to weight it down with maybe stones if I can find any. But first I am going to soak it in some tubs outside so the that core of the wood softens and I can remove it. Not sure if it is necessary but I'm afraid of having the wood chunks everywhere. The core I would describe it as "spongy" when wet so I want to remove as much of it until I'm left with hard wood but I'm not sure if I need to.
  22. Sunny Doan
    Yes! I've been waiting on finding a piece of wood to tie my anubias and ferns to, and I just had the idea now to use the perfect piece that was right outside my house the whole time!
  23. Sunny Doan
    I might just try it out! I have a 29 gallon with a few random guppy fry that popped up right now and with the size of the wood I'll only be able to soak a few pieces at a time. But I think I'll try and see if the fry and snails do fine in the tank for now and then move on to moving it to my 55 gallon tank where it will barely fit it. It's a large piece (at least 3.5-4.5 feet) Thanks for the help!
  24. Sunny Doan
    I love the look of wood as well but am not sure if this specific piece is ready for a fish tank or not. Might have to test it out tonight. I’ve just finished washing it and scrubbing off some decayed pieces currently the wood is sponges when wet. Is it supposed to be like that?
  25. Sunny Doan
    Hey guys found a nice video about this. The YouTuber is Cinescape and I think I’m going to try this method of preparing the wood. Remove any moving decayed pieces with a wire brush and then plop it into the tank! https://youtu.be/SnIkE9diQ2Q
