What size aquarium? I have 5 black rams in a 46 gallon bow front. They are small/young, maybe a inch - inch and a half. So far all is good. They are starting to flash/display at each other but that is it.

Yes it’s true the filter itself has all the bio. You need…. But when you change the pad you don’t have any bio bacteria. The bio wheel does. And I believe some bacteria lives in water and a different bio bacteria lives on a wet surface.

I have not seen this behavior. Maybe it is learned? And the fry are to small to eat it. I just don’t know…

I really do love sitting back just far enough to watch the fish be fish. Let them interact with each other and not react to me being there. I have done this since I was a young boy.

Looking awesome. Now is the time to start working on the 125….. lol.

Welcome to the forum….

Wow…. I didn’t know…. Thanks

Maybe post in the swap - Wanting to buy. Good Luck

I need to go back and re-read. I might have been a little confusing…. Probably me.

I agree I would and do use Aquarium Co Op test. I find them to be accurate as any other test. So much of that depends on storage over a longer time period….. and with the container they come in that shouldn’t be a problem….. Good Luck

So sorry…. l I have kept Corydoras on everything from sand to river gravel…. I hate vacuuming sand…. Again sorry

I guess they could…. Why not? I have some Black Rams at first they didn’t seem to bother snails. I hate them and smash them when I see them. So I noticed they eat them after I have smashed them. Now I see them harassing the live ones. Go Team Fish….

I had that question with some other medications a couple years ago. I emailed the manufacturer, their response was although they have 4-8 months figured in past that date - taking into purchase date and up to the date of use. But everything depends on how the product is stored. They also suggested as time goes on it just become less effective. Should not do any harm. I don’t believe salt has an expiration date if kept dry…….. Good Luck

Depends what caused it. 01. Remove all stress. 02. I have use newly hatched Baby Brine, frozen can work as well. 03. Frozen peas… Thawed and remove outer shell. 04. Epsom Salt and a little aquarium salt. 1 teaspoon per 5to10 gallons and raise temperature maybe to 80-83 degrees. But I believe all of these treatments will work best if this is caused by constipation. The epsom salt will help relieve swelling if it is more that constipation. Good Luck

In a hurry…. A little hydrogen peroxide and a small bottle brush. Maybe one from a filter…. Good Luck

Lol. Well. Isn’t that the Easy thing to do.

I wasn’t treating RO/DI water. That is what I used. I think I purchased a pound and put it in a gallon of RO/DI Water. And that one gallon could treat 37,800 gallo a of regular tap water. Sorry for any confusion.

I leave mine and in the aquarium. Back in a corner behind some driftwood and plants. I also love using mine to clean my glass lids. It is so much easier than removing lids weekly and taking to laundry tub to wash and remove algae….

Maybe soak some pellets in a cup of water with the frozen

Good…. Glad to hear she is eating something. Maybe while feeding the frozen also put in some flakes, pellets she might grab some by mistake…..

Still nothing. Maybe it was a Steenfott video?

Sorry wrong video. I’m almost positive I liked that video. I am looking for it now.

Could this be it?

I’m not sold on this idea. I have pretty good RO/DI unit. 01. Isn’t there efficiently related to water pressure? 02. Mine removes everything, but wouldn’t you want something in the water? Mine says on it do not consume on a regular basis. We (fish) need some minerals? 03. If are just going to target ammonia, nitrates and nitrites couldn’t you use more plants? I don’t know…. I guess I have some reading to do. Thanks

Just have the dog pull them…. Lol.
