Aquarium co op has a how to ich video on YouTube that's super helpful. I would look at that and see if that answers your questions. It's a little easier to have them show exactly what they're doing then having someone explain. If you still have questions after that then the people on here are super helpful. Good luck with it! I hope everything clears out of your tank and you have no more issues with ich.

Alternatives to replace bloodworms, looking for suggestions.

I would strongly suggest rehoming the loach. The clown loach will get huge and the other loach are much happier in schools of 5+. Find someone that knows what they are talking about and will treat the loach and just let them have them. That will also decrease their stress and make it easier for the disease to be treated.

10 males should be fine together. They do color up slightly better if you have females mixed in. I would test your water and the water of the supplier. If they are very different do a slow drip acclimation and you should be good
-
Expensive but if you need to temporarily then I would think it would be fine. You can also contact your local water purification plant to see if there is a reason and when it will be cycled out of the water

I would run activated carbon in your filter, the more the merrier. I would think it could pull anything toxic out of your water fairly quickly so I would not be super concerned. It's your place so you can fine her if the fumes have any negative effects on your fish at the very least.

Yes that is my main concern. The yoyo's are full grown around 5-6 inches so I wasn't sure if that'd be big enough to deter the bichir as it grows. The yoyo's are rambunctious and will defend themselves so I was crossing my fingers that they'd play nice.
-
What are your thoughts on keeping a dinosaur bichir with yoyo loach? The tank size is plenty large enough I just didn't know if they would leave each other alone

Thanks! This is what I was looking for. Getting to the point I can tell fish apart by more than just color but still learning. Appreciate it!
-
You're absolutely correct! I'm trying to figure out about how many weeks/months old that would be
-
My weather/pond/dojo loach likes to suck on my knuckles when I have my hands in the tank
-
How old do endler fry need to be to determine the sex? I have yellow tiger endlers I'm trying to sex.
-
Live bearers are incredibly hardy so I would not worry
-
I only change when needed, unless I'm raising fry.

That's what I'm kind of leaning towards but I've also heard that the tiger barbs can still be jerks to the SAE. Hopefully I'll get someone with experience. It's only been one or two posts I've seen about SAE and tiger barbs. I didn't know if the SAE would like the activity level of the loach. LoL and yes I wouldn't call the yoyo and barbs aggressive but they're kind of the obnoxious little brothers of the fish world 🤣 they poke and prod and annoy but don't usually just go on a murder spree. Thanks for the SAE suggestion! I'm leaning even more towards them now!
