    Dose the jungle fungus clear fizz tab's based on water volume if your treating a 10 gallon tank add 1 table of jungle fungus  on day 3 25% water change  add 1 fizz tab and one scoop of kanaplex per 10 gallons on day  4 add 1 fizz tab per 10gallons and on day 5 25% water change add 1 fizz tab and 1 scoop of kanaplex per 10 gallons 

     

    Perfect. It's a 5 gal so I'm doing 1/2 tab. As always I appreciate your help and quick response. 😊

    Thank you Chick-In-Of-TheSea. I have an empty 5 gal and there are only 7 guppies so I think it will be ok for a hospital tank. 

    I forgot to mention I have 3 mystery snails and some ammono shrimp in the 80 gal. Catching the snails won't be a problem but I'm worried about the shrimp. I guess I shouldn't treat the 80 gal with them still in there.

    Wow. I have 5 Bleeding heart and 5 Dwarf Neon rainbow in a 10 gal. Will they be ok for 5 weeks. I do have a 30gal with about 10 kubati and 8 harlequin if I need to move them to a bigger tank. Thank you so much for your quick response. I hope I can get the medication in time.

    I have an 80gal tank that I put 10 guppies in the make sure things were safe before I added my more expensive fish. I think the guppies have this columnaris. I lost two and just started the med trio before I noticed the "scaly patch" on one of the guppies. I just lost another today. I don't want to treat the 80gal with the Jungle Fungus and Kanaplex. I can move them to a 5 gal tank but I'm wondering if my 80gal is now not safe for the new fish which I have in a 10gal and they are doing fine so far.

    Thanks for the help.

    Mystery Snail Eggs

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    So my mystery snail just left me a clutch of eggs. Not sure how this happened since she's the only mystery snail in the aquarium. Unless the pond snails have been having their way with her. My question is how to I get rid of them? I don't have the capacity to raise them and I don't want them to cause a imbalance in my aquarium. Can I just scrap them off and toss them. (Sorry it sounds so cruel.) Thanks for any help.

    Will my Neon Tetra get better

    in Diseases

    Posted

    I discovered one of my neon tetras bloated and barely swimming about a 2 weeks ago. I moved him to a 10 gal, and salted the tank. The swelling started to go down but he was still swimming vertical like a pencil fish and not a neon. I went to my LFS and picked up MetroPlex. Dosed the tank and within an hour he was swimming better.  The swelling is completely gone but there is a brown spot in his belly that looks like a bruise. I dosed every other day for a total of 3 doses. Should I put him back in the tank this weekend? Will the bruise/spot go away?

    Another BBA Question

    in Plants, Algae, and Fertilizers

    Posted

    Thank you so much for the article. I thought I had it under control but alas it started creeping back. I had just gotten several plants from Aquarium Co-op and stuck them in a little 5gal. But the stem plants didn't look like they were doing too good so I thought I would move them into the bigger tank. However I'll be patient and try to get the BBA issue under control. Again, I appreciate the information

    I have had this tank set up since early November and have had fish in it since the beginning. I measured the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate everyday. Here is a graph of what that looked like.

    Nitrates were high initially likely from fertilizer the plants brought in with them, but this faded.

    After a few days the ammonia and nitrites began to increase.

    And then the ammonia and nitrate held steady for a few days.

    Then the ammonia peaked on the 14th followed by a peak in nitrites the next day. Nitrates began to rise after that.

    And now everything is falling back down again.

    Wow Daniel that is quite the tracking you have. I will start checking daily as soon as I get the ammonia to add. Now my only problem is with the algae that is going out of control. Thank you for sharing.

    I have tried to find my answers in the form but not with much luck. I'm doing a fishless cycle. 30gal. Added plants and used Seachem Stability for 4 days, I have not seen an ammonia spike. It has been 2 weeks. Lots of hair algae and brown algae. I clam it off and it's back the next day. I have not done a water change. This weekend will do a 30% change. I test the water once a week. The plants are doing well. 

    1. Should I be testing it daily?
    2. Should I add Seachem Stability after I do the water change? Or not at all?
    3. Should I clean the algae before I do a water change? Or let it continue to spread?
    4. Should I wait a month before adding fish or snails?
    5. Am I totally lost?

    Thanks,

    Angie
