  1. I would turn off your air pump and wrap the tank with a cover i use the plastic dust sheets you get for decorating
  2. Licorice gourami are great hopefully I will be getting some soon just doing a lot of research before hand what species are the one you got
  3. would try transition them to something like hikari carnivore or massivore Delite pellets my lfs feed their pike cichlids earth worms am personally not a fan of feeding feeder goldfish theirs a risk of introducing disease I would try feed them frozen sprats no chance of introducing disease
  4. Difficult to tell going of the colour and the way you said it moved possible leech
  5. They should all be fine to keep with butterfly cichlids
  6. Victoria green and malachite green are the same thing just go by different names
  7. Welcome to the forum nice tank live plants really bing a tank to life
  8. A while a go I was looking up medication I just came a cross it anyone would think they don't want you to no what's in their products just screen shot of a video off back of box
  9. Only when breeding can they get aggressive they are shy and should be kept in groups of 8 or more from what I have read
  10. Active ingredient in jungal ick clear is Victoria green and acriflavin
  11. If your treating the water column with kanaplex recommend only doing two course of treatment back to back as it a powerful medication I would add kanaplex for no more than 10 days that should take care of any remaining infection
  12. I think mid water fish would be more of a target for their aggression hopefully your loach will be fine long term
  13. I can't pick one species but my favourites are catfish lots different types something for everyone from orange Lazer Cory's green phantom plecos are stunning ninja wood cats
  14. I remember seeing some a few years back very aggressive highly territorial and predatory
  15. It's calcium buildup I use distilled white vinegar to remove it from my lid
  16. Looks great so far so many great species of loach to choose from love biotopes setups so much better for the fish and they look great
  17. Have you tested the tap water for pH and kH if you leave it in a bucket with an air stone for 24hr you will get a more accurate reading for your pH if your tap water has a high kH and pH doing more water changes will raise your pH
  18. I agree with @H.K.LutermanFrist check your ammonia and nitirte before anything else just because this fish is the only one showing symptoms doesn't it not a water quality as he could be the weakest individual in the group
  19. The reddening of the tail can because by ammonia have for check for it I have kept my comet for over 12 years I have never had any issues related to pH your more likely to have problems trying to alter your pH with chemical water treatments also do you use a water dechlorinator like prime when doing water changes at certain times of the year they flush the pipes with high levels of chloramines unless your testing before every water change you could miss it that can cause reddening
  20. Frozen brine shrimp daphnia Cyclops are good alternative to blood worms
