    Ich X treatment

    I will try to get another photo. But can you recommend anything for fungal infections?
  2. Hi to everyone Happy St. Patty's Day. I finished 5 days of treatment for Ich with Ich-X yesterday.I think its Ich. Posting a picture of when I started and now. Should I do another round? I am going to turn up temp has been set at 80 but gets cold in my house at night. My water parameters have been the same, Nitrates 20-40, Nitrites 0, Hardiness soft, Chlorine 0, alkalinity low, PH seems to be more 6.2 than 6.4 before. Still struggling with plants, now fish. I have 2 snails and 2 Corydora. They are all active and eating. Betta chases Cory's constantly when food is around. 😒 Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Hi. I need help again. Seems I can't win with Bettas. I love them but I just got a new Betta last Wednesday and now noticing white dots starting, looks like Ick. So do I treat the tank with the two other fish in it or take out the Betta and treat him in small fish bowl. I don't have another tank. And do I need to clean my tank out and start over. Just now finally got it cycled. Other fish are doing well. Some plants are still struggling. That's another problem. Thank you for any suggestions. ☯️
  5. Ok I'll hope for the best. Usually she stays low. Thank you.
  6. my snail seems to be missing, small tank. I haven't seen her for couple of days. No signs. Could she be dead or hiding?
  7. Thank you for the pic. Wow I sure hope it’s a male, I’ve named him Michael and have become attached so I can’t get rid of him/her. By the way I love the gravel in your tank what are you using and is it good for live plants. I’m having so much trouble with rinsing the brown fluorite. I’m still vacuuming up dust. It was a mess. He’s actually social with me I just have one snail with him right now. Would like to have at least two of the corydoras. Waiting for bigger tank.
  8. Thought my 5 gallon tank with plants was doing better, but now I have a lot of algae. Is this brown or Black hair algae? I watched Cory's video on algae but still not sure. Help will be appreciated. I have one Nerite snail. Getting ready to change to 10 gallon tank and don't want to take algae problem to new tank.
  9. Thank you sounds like a good option.
  10. Thank you so much for all the good advice. I now am thinking of getting a 10 gallon. That’s all I have room for and sending 5 gallon back. Any recommendations nothing too expensive. Thanks again.
  11. Ok of course pet smart thought it would be ok. Ill have to look for other. I wanted algae eater for small tank.
  12. I'm a little sad I just bought the cutest little peppered corydoras for my 5 gallon tank and now I read there should be 3. Is thAt a problem for a 5 gallon tank? With nerite snAil and betta?
  13. I'm using the light that came with the Marineland aquarium to start but I did buy a Finnex light. Ton he nitrites showed 0 on the easy test strip. I'm going to try and post picture.
  14. I planted my aquarium about 4 wks. ago, having lots of trouble. Java Fern is doing so, so, lots of browning, Windelov Java Fern is doing awful. I have cut away dead leaves, lots of brown. Cryptocoryne Wendtill looked good at first but seems to be getting very pale. The amazon sword seems to be only survivor. I put plant tabs in at the beginning and am using Flourite brown substrate, which I didn't rinse very well. New to this. Should I fertilize? And can I add fish now. PH is around 6.8, alkalinity low. Everything else ok. I was trying to establish plants before adding fish. But plants are harder than I thought. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.
  15. Hello from Virginia I'm new to planted aquariums and also new to this forum. Not sure what I'm doing.
