    Yes. Very sure.

    I should have mentioned I HAD to move my Ram to this tank. Blue Paradise already the current resident. 😉

    Hi guys. I added a healthy German Ram and Paradise Blue into my Raspbora tank after losing a beautiful dwarf blue. Someone is killing my harlequins (yet not my brilliants). Suspect culprit?
  6. Melissa Ann
    Thx! I’m also starting to think maybe was just was an injury.

    @keeg @Colu- so little guy bit the dust today. Everyone else looks fine currently (pics below). Using Maracyn and Ich-x and heat at 82. BUT.....whatever this was/is literally ate his mouth away. Photos below as well. So worried. I really need help here. Any ideas on what this is? Can columnaris do this? @Cory if available ? I’ve never had sick tanks/fish before and I am just at a loss. And growing weary. 😔
  8. Melissa Ann
    Yes. Agreed. I read the labels. I just did Maracyn for now. Until something else on hand. Going to monitor closely. The word Ich-X makes me want to puke after what I just went through. You thinking Ich? If so please let me know.

    I have General Cure and Marcyn on hand. I’ll give that a go. Thanks more than you know!

    Thanks so much guys. I think I have PTSD from my ich experience. lol Here’s better photo(s). Water parameters aren’t great at all tonight, but this tank is still finishing off a cycle from some colonized ceramic media and a sponge filter that I used (from healthy tank) to try and more quickly cycle. Due to a timing issue after ordering some new fish from Imperial Tropicals. ph: 7.6 NH3/NH4: .25 NO2: .50 NO3: 5.0 Temp: 81.5

    @Keeg- thanks so much. I have metroplex and focus on hand. Think that is an okay combo?

    @CorydorasEthan- hope you are quarantining any pet store fish. My one and only fish purchase from a PetSmart wiped out my whole tank with ich. About $100 worth. 🤦‍♀️

    I order frequently - too frequently according to my hubby. But this was my first shipment to include the new bag. Very utilitarian and well made. I think I’ll sneak more fish into the house with it. 😉

    Hi my fish heroes and gurus. I just got home from work so haven't had a chance to test water yet but wanted to get a pic up pronto to see if anyone has ideas on what appears (not sure) to be a whitish tuft/spot on this guy’s mouth? Want to treat ASAP if needed. Been doing daily water changes since I got these guys last week. Other fish have no seen areas like this on them anywhere. Been watching ‘em like a hawk. This is my ichy tank that I treated with Ich-x and heated high for 3 weeks.

    New plants arrived yesterday and I love the new delivery bags @Cory! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    @Streetwise- jackhammer. Got it. I’m on it. 😂
  17. Melissa Ann
    Thank you thank you thank you Paul. And agreed. I’ve learned more through fishkeeping than I could have ever dreamed. ❤️🙏🏻👍🏻
  18. Melissa Ann
    Thanks to all for the advice. Just can’t bear to lose this tank again. First time I’ve ever lost one. 😞

    @streetwise - trying to capture better pic of the layer here. So maybe I’ll thin the current sand layer quite a bit and lightly cover with some fresh sand.
  20. Melissa Ann
    @Paul_Obermiller - excellent idea. 👍🏻
  21. Melissa Ann
    Problem here is I have fish on the way. 😩
  22. Melissa Ann
    @Paul_Obermiller- smell is gone now. But you are saying still dangerous? Ugh.
  23. Melissa Ann
    @Streetwise - so you’re thinking too much cap here?
  24. Melissa Ann
    @Streetwise - same here.
  25. Melissa Ann
    @Paul_Obermiller - underneath and is a dirted tank soil mix. Are you saying take that out as well, i.e., dump tank?
