Your Dempsey's are gorgeous!!! @Odd Duck

Yeah @H.K.Luterman he keeps moving the sponge filter to in front of the inlet of the HOB he clearly prefers all the water movement in one place. I feed him a worm he didn't eat it for two days. He just kept moving it to a particular corner everytime it moved away. @ScottieB yeah I think I'll give the easy planters a try
-
@ScottieB Do you think a plant will be able to send off runners in the planter and fill up the tank?

Hey Guys, My wife and I fell in love with an Oscar. I only have experience with small 10gal community tanks other than a 55gal community tank when I was a young child. I love planted tanks and want plants in all my tanks because what they do for the water quality although I suck at aquascaping lol. How can I plant up this Oscar tank?
-
@ColuSounds good
-
Hey everyone, I bought some assorted guppies my fiancee and mom picked out. I took them home to quarantine and care for until I could set up a tank in my mom's office. They birthed 6 fry the same night. I've been feeding the tank really well but I still haven't run the trio. If I do run the trio will the babies be able to withstand the meds or will they die? My fiancee, sister, and mom are attached to the fry so I don't want to hurt them.
-
@Lifeisgood yeah, I took a lot away from these experiences and all the feedback I got from the forum. I think my next attempt at some point will be with a single tail or a larger fancy
-
Yeah I think I'll try my hand at another goldfish soon
-
Yeah I do feel kind of burned out on goldfish but I don't like quiting on a species.
-
@Colu thank you. I've had terrible luck with goldfish.

Hey guys, over the last two months or so I've tried my hand at goldfish. My first attempt was a nice looking feeder comet that I wanted to save. He died in quarantine I believe due to my water parameters going out of wack. Second was a fan tail he broke out some sort of infection I ran meds through him but he passed shortly after seemingly clearing up. Lastly, I had an oranda. I was running the trio but halfway through he had anchor worm. I did major water change ran cyropro. This was supposed to be his last week on cyropro. He was a voracious eater seemed healthy but a little thin. He started to have swim bladder issues yesterday when he was still but when swimming was normal ate a lot. Today he died. Is there a secret to goldfish?
-
@Colu my goldfish passed overnight. I don't understand what happened.
-
Yeah I have tons of brine and mysis and dried blood worms so I'll try giving him some more of that
-
@Colu what should I so then
-

Hey guys, my oranda goldfish started floating sideways today. He swims normally but when he stops swimming and is at rest he floats sideways. This is his 3rd week of quarantine since he's a new fish. He had anchor worm and is on his final week of Cyropro. He mostly eats duckweed. He's eaten Hikari sinking goldfish excel 1-2 and mysis and brine shrimp 1-2. I'm not sure what could be causing his swim bladder issues.
-
@Ramie Whenever I get detritus worms(what I believe you have) to a noticeable level, I do a slightly larger water change maybe an extra 10%. I also gravel vac more thoroughly.
-
@Casual aquatics out of those which would you say is the most interactive
-
@Fish Folk would you recommend Green Terror over Oscar, Flowerhorn, or even a Fahaka Puffer?
-
Hey guys I generally prefer community tanks but I do want a single tank with a large impressive wet pet. A fish that's highly interactive similar to murphy. I don't have the space or means for anything over 125gal so I was thinking a Oscar, flowerhorn, etc. What fish has the most personality in terms of being a wet pet in the size range?
-
@Irene thank you soon much I ordered the cyropro I really want to get this guy healthy
-
@Ireneif I dose this in my quarantine tank should I water change out the trio or are they compatible? Also it says it handles the effects of the anchor worm does that mean I have to manually remove the female anchor worm sticking out my fish?
-
@Cory @Irene @Dean’s Fishroom how do I treat anchor worm???
-
@Colu I believe it to be Carp Lice/Anchor Worm. My nitrites are high, no ammonia. This is a quarantine tank so it's not a seasoned tank. I started him on the quarantine trio.
