  1. I've read from a couple of people that their loaches tolerated treatment.  Someone suggested using half a dose for the 14 days.  What do you think?  I'd hate to have a whip lash effect like resistant antibiotic pathogens.  I have Paraguard, but never medicated my fish.  I've been in the hobby only 2 months.  Will it hurt or stress my neons, harlequin rasboras or female bettas?  What are the signs of stress in loaches?  They hide? lol.  probably.

  2.  I just found a white spot or saddle like patch? that could be ick or coumnaris on the back of my black kuhli right above his/her tail today.  I have a 33 gal. with harlequin rasbora's, neons and a betta.  I have no idea how to treat it as I'm 2 months into the hobby.  My tank is fully cycled and pH is 6.6.  I have Seachem Paraguard.  Some say it would be safe at 1/2 dose.  I could do 50% water changes daily for 2 weeks, but that wld be labor intensive and I've got a bad back. :(.  I can't use the python with my kitchen sink.  Help!

  3. I put my betta in a community tank 3 days ago.  I noticed a distinct white circle on top of her head yesterday.  Hoping I just didn't notice before (I've had her for 3 weeks), I can't stop noticing it now.  I put her in quarantine again and am trying to figure out what to do.  Water parameters are:  pH 6.3, Ammonia 0-5 ppm, Nitrite 0 ppm, Nitrate 10-2- ppm.  I do 10% water changes weekly with Seachem Prime.  I did one yesterday.  She is acting and eating normally.  Help?

  4. How can I get a stable pH of 6.8 to 7? My tapwater is 6.0 in my tank is reading 6.2.  I have a 33 gallon hex with 7 neons, 9 harlequin rasboras, 2 Kuhli loaches and added A female beta three days ago. My pH has been running 6.6.

  5. Hi! I’m excited to find this. I live in Locust Grove, Georgia. I have been in this hobby for one and a half months! After buying a 32 gallon tall hexagon from a neighbor with goldfish and tetras, I fell in love and after a ton of research later I realized how little I know.  i’ve given away fish two times and think I’m getting my tank where I want it. I have nine harlequin rasboras, Seven neons, to Black Kuhli loaches and I just added my first female beta after quarantine. Fingers crossed!  I have lots of questions and want to learn. I’ve done a lot of research and can help Sam with beginners.  Really look forward to getting to know you guys!  I don’t know how to post my photos yet, it will send them when I can.
