Please help! I have 8 angel fish infected and some rams infected too. Angels are in a 90 and the rams are in a 20. Please tell me how you would go about getting rid of these parasites.

My LFS had them in. I think he orders from the general fish farms - CA / FL. Maybe inquire at your LFS? The scientific name is:
Horadandia atukorali
You can learn some scientific data here.
They're the easiest little fish I've ever kept. They eat any prepared food offering. Currently, they're sharing tank with 20-30 German Blue Rams growing out.
Thank you, and speaking of rams could I use distilled water to hatch ram eggs? I have 2 pairs that lay every week but the eggs never hatch and I think it's because my water is too hard.

Where did you buy these barbs? I'm thinking about doing a 20-29 gall. nano tank.

Let me know if you have any questions setting up your Shelly tank. I have pretty much everything but similis and ocellatus. That isn't because I don't like or want them, just ran out of space for now. There are a few oddball Shellies out there that I think should be more popular than they are. Check out a few journals I have linked below for details on a few. Happy to answer any other questions you might have if you don't get them from the journals.
Do you have any experience with lamprologus caudopunctatus?

If you are referring to pseudomugil luminatus, then I can share from my experience that they will actively hunt down shrimplets.
I have rock piles so the shrimplets can hide away. I don't want to be over run with shrimp.

The temperature of the tank is 77 degrees F.

I have a 10 gallon shrimp tank with seed shrimp in it and I want to get rid of the seed shrimp but I still want to breed the shrimp. Any fish suggestions? I like the neon red rainbows but I am open for anything because my shrimp population is slowly depleting. I also like the neon green rasboras. I just want a small not common fish, that won't prey on the shrimplet.

So which ones do you like better? I have watched that video a few times and still come back to the MULTIS
Sorry it took so long to get back, I've been busy lol. I like the similis more but the Gold Ocellatus is what I'm going for.

Here is a video I found....
Look at those teeth on the similis.

And similis are slightly bigger apparently.

I want to do a shell dweller tank with a 50 gal lowboy and want the Neolamprologus multifasciatus. They are awesome looking and breed like rabbits...LOL
Do you know what the difference is between the similis and the multifaciatus? They look like the same fish.
-
I am thinking about getting a shell dweller tank and was wondering if there should be any fish I should stay away from? I know gold ocellatus are pretty aggressive. I like the similis and black ocellatus so if that gives you guys any direction.

I have ph about 7.4-7.6, not sure on hardness. I did about a 40-50% rainwater change after the lights went out in the evening
Mark's Aquatics on youtube may be helpful, I don't know if he has a video on glowlight tetras but he does on neon tetras.

I left my snails egg sacks on the side of the tank, they hatched and then grew up. I don't know why people touch them, just them alone and they'll be fine. Just know that if you want to breed mystery snails you going to have to do a lot of water changes, they poop more then goldfish.

Nothing special - i just set it in the tank - if it has branches they might pick a spot between the branches or if it is blocky they might dig a little hole under a corner (if your substrate is fine and soft). I dont' really make an effort to encourage them to use driftwood - they just find the spot they like.
Yes I have sand with them, I like to watch their behavior, they have dug out the side of a pot and underneath my heater, done nothing with the coconut cave yet.

I presume it is a cockatoo. I also have coconut shells but they never use them - mine prefer driftwood...
How do you place the driftwood? I'd like to give that a shot.

it can be hit or miss on the eggs being fertile, I will say keeping the cave away from high flow points seems to increase the good egg count . I normally turn the caves into the best dead spot in the tank.
She spawned at one of the highest flow points, but my gold red agassizi spawned in a low flow point, so maybe they have preferences.
-
I have a coconut cave but she decided to spawn on the bottom of the filter, and they were infertile and they are gone now, she doesn't seem to have damaged any of the other fish fins, thanks!
-
If you have fish in there the shrimplets may be being eaten. Also if you want to breed them I would increase the colony to 10-15. You may not have a female or a male. Otherwise I think just switching out the wood would be fine.

I have a female quad. red that laid eggs underneath my sponge filter in a 10 gallon, and she's doing an amazing job guarding them but they are all white. Which I believe means they are infertile (if I am wrong please correct me). She isn't beating up the male or the pair of guppies I have in there, but I don't want her to stress over eggs (I got the guppies and apistos last week so they are still being quarantined) that are not going to hatch. I was wondering if I pulled the eggs off the bottom of the filter, would she attack the other fish thinking that they ate them?

I would start with micro worms and if they're able to take bbs then give them that too. I would split half the fry up, leave some with the parents and put some in another tank, so incase they eat them you can still raise the other fry. I don't know if pulling some fry will make the parents eat the other fry though.

@FrostiesFishes dithers are suppose to distract the parents and turn on the guarding instinct instead of just eating the eggs. Dean has found that pencil fish are very good dithers with apistos because they stay to the mid/top of the tank and have very small mouths so it's almost impossible for them to eat eggs. I am going to try neons with my rams and apistos just to see how they do. I am only going to add 2 per pair to see how they do. How big is the angelfish tank?

Thanks!

I have do once a week water changes, the pH is at 7.2 and ammonia is 0. They just keep rubbing their sides against the bottom, what should I do? Some of my bigger koi are starting to lose scales.
Camallanus worms in 2 tanks.
