    Thanks! I’m going to grow them out and feed them to my fish. I’m still hoping I get that far considering I have to keep them alive for the next 2-3 weeks. And I know that “smell” that Cory mentions if you don’t keep the water clean! My next task will be to work on a water change tomorrow. I plan on using a flashlight to get them all in one area, then siphoning out some water and replacing with ready to go salt water.

    So I used both the brine shrimp net and the paper towel and they both worked nicely. Thanks for posting the videos and guidance, a couple weeks and they’ll be ready!

    1st time working with brine shrimp. Got a great hatch with the Ziss hatchery. A little confused on what to do next. They are so tiny, can I strain them with a brine shrimp net to go in my grow out tank? How do I get them in there with out taking all the nasty Ziss water with them?

    So this just happened to me this week. I’m moving my betta into a larger 10 gallon tank because his 5 gallon spring a leak. The 5-gallon has been cycled for over a year and I’ve had 0 nitrates and 0 ammonia that entire time. Luckily I could lower the water enough to stop the leak. So while my new tank is cycling I began moving plants from the leaking tank into the new tank. When I did this, I pulled out some vallisneria that was doing extremely well and had roots everywhere so when I pulled it up, a LOT of detritus stirred up with it. The next day the leaky tank had a major bacteria bloom. A day after that I noticed my betta was not behaving “normal” and tested the tank. Ammonia was present and it was >0.25. Im still dealing with the ammonia 3 days later, but my point is that I had the exact same problem you experienced when I stirred up my gravel. Somehow it affected my good bacteria. Didn’t know that could happen.

    I Put a sponge filter in a cycled, mature tank to get it started so that I can move it to a new tank and get the cycle in the new tank moving along quicker. About How long should I leave the filter in the cycled tank before I move it to the new tank?

    I’ve been fighting it too. First, I upped my daily Excel dosage by 50% for one week. Then, for plants I couldn’t take out of the tank, I shut off the water movement, then I used a dropper to put Excel directly on the algae. For plants I could remove, I pulled off what I could without damaging the plant. Then soaked them in 3% hydrogen peroxide solution for 5 minutes, rinsed it off and put them back in the tank. Here’s a photo of one of the plants I could take out. You can see the BBA turning reddish which I think means it’s dying.

    3 clown loaches will look great in your 29 gallon community tank. Wait until I have to tell my husband, “Honey! We’re gonna need a bigger tank!” I’ve already named them and they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. 😳

    Could you pull out a smaller plant and somehow treat it safely with Excel out of the tank? For example a small Anubias attached to a stone. I’ve done this with hydrogen peroxide to kill off BBA and it worked for awhile.

    I like AquaClear. However, recently, a 6-month old AquaClear 50 starting having a problem. When I unplug it and change out media, the filter would not start. I had to spin the impeller around manually, then plug it in and 99% of the time it will begin working. Otherwise, I have to repeat the process.

    As a beginner, I’m going to contribute as much as I can with my limited experience. I appreciate reading all the questions and responses and I am learning. I hope to become a valuable contributor one day! I’m so appreciate of this forum and the values of C.A.R.E.
  15. AudreyB started following Betta with Columnaris - healing? Or do I still continue to treat?
  16. AudreyB
    I’ve completed two rounds of treatment for columnaris. Brutus is looking much better. And Currently during methylene blue baths daily. I don’t see any whitish Patches anymore but I see what I think is raw pinkish skin. My question is: do I just give time for these areas to heal (I have e-mycin in tank) watching for bacterial problems or could I still have a columnaris problem? How do I know when I can stop treatment? I’ve searched everywhere but can’t to seem to find any information on this. He eats, plays and displays no symptoms except for the visual signs.
