    It is the glass ones. Is any residue bad for fish or shrimp?

    My api test kit bottles leak every time I shake them for the nitrate test are the faulty or is this normal because I do not want to poison my fish or myself via my hands that are covered in test chemicals.

    what about blue spotted sunfish or black banded sunfish. If I can't get those then I will get pygmy sunfish.

    I would like to keep some us native fish. I like pumpkinseeds because but they can get to 5" can I keep a pair in a 20 tall with nothing else and live plants. I would think it would work because you can keep a pair of angels in a 20 tall and they get 6" and a lot taller.

    Thanks I will do it becuse It seems to get a lot more lift when you do. Mine has plastic piece where you would put a air stone so I cant fit it in.

    I want to install a air stone in my sponge filter but it has that plastic tube could I just cut it off with some wire cutters and install and air stone.

    I think I just won't breed them. I don't know if it is even a male female pair I just got 2.

    One of my angelfish has bent pectoral and dorsal fins. I have a couple questions about this. Is this bad for the fish or just cosmetic. Can it go away. Should I try to not breed this fish if it is genetic. It is a koi angel if that means anything and is about the size of a 50 cent coin.
  9. Chris287
    Thanks I will get one of those.
  10. Chris287
    Thats a good idea, thanks. Is there a certain kind of plastic you need for it to not leach into the water or are they all safe.
  11. Chris287
    It is a cacatuodides orange flash the 5.5 has been cycled. They are currently in a 40 breeder.

    I Would like to breed my apistos in a separate breeding tank but all I have is a 5.5 gallon can I keep them in there for 1-2 months at most. Their eggs are getting eaten by the other fish. If I can't do that could I put the rams that are bullying them in the 5 gallon and have them breed?
  13. Chris287
    Yes but it was some random amazon brand.
  14. Chris287
    Would letting it air out do anything.

    Add cuttlebone I have one in all of my shrimp tanks and they last over a year and have never had a molting problem I also have a water softener so I have to add calcium.
  16. Chris287
    The fry should be fine if you're tank is mature I have left fry for 2 weeks without food and they survived off algae and cyclops. I don't know why you can't feed them while dosing I feed my fish anyways.
  17. Chris287
    I have these suction cups that smell like plastic and I am worried that they might leach something into the water that wouldn't be safe for my shrimp.
  18. Chris287
    do you think some babies will survive to grow the population and I was going to get neocaridina shrimp so the eggs getting eaten will not be a problem do you have any experience with them eating shrimpletts.

    I have heard lots of mixed things about celestial pearl danios aka galaxy rasboras with shrimp. I have mostly heard they will kill every shrimp they see one person said it decimated their colony of 40 shrimp to 3. I have also heard of lots of people keeping platys with shrimp and I don't see how that could possibly be better when platys get 3 inches and CPDs get 1. Could it be a aggression thing maybe? . Do you think it would be ok in a densely planted tank? If not what are other substitutes I was thinking maybe kubotai or chili rasboras.

    The general stocking rule for pea puffers is 5 gallons for your first puffer and 3 additional gallons for each puffer. I have 2 in a 10 gallon and 1 in a 5 gallon.
  21. Chris287
    thanks
  22. Chris287
    I put it in my tank with pea puffers with parasites and there is a bunch of white specks still floating around after 15-20 mins. Ingredients are 250 mg metronidazole 75 mg praziquantel so the same as api general cure. Also could mix this with bloodworm and feed it to them I am treating internal parasites.
  23. Chris287
    I heard that most pea puffers have parasites so i'm a little worried because they are my favorite fish. I got a pair of pea puffers 6 months ago 1 month in one of them got a black bump on its head They are not fighting with any other fish they are in a 10 gallon with a rainbow goby and 4 amano. They were not de wormed at the fish store. The other one has some sand sized back bumps too. If it is parasites how should i treat it.The other one has very small black specks I don't know if it is the coloration or a parasite.

    Will cuttlebones give them calcium?
  25. Chris287
