  1. Water temp is currently 83. PH 7.6 Ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 10 or 20 hard to tell. (API master test kit)
  2. I’m not familiar with velvet. I assumed this was ick but it seems i see it gets confused with velvet sometimes. Can anyone tell which this is? I noticed it about 2 days ago. I cranked the heat to 85 though it’s having a hard time getting there. I’ve done 30% water changes and treated with ick x the last 2 days. it’s a 125 gallon tank. It mainly seems to be impacting the rainbows and they seem to have lost a lot of their color as well. I do see spots on some other fish in the tank too but nothing like you see on the rainbow in the pictures. There are several other rainbows and a bunch of other fish that have no spots at all, at least not yet. we currently have to quarantine so I can’t go to any stores to buy meds if needed. I’ll have to order online and wait for it. But if it’s ick I’ve already been treating for that. I just finished changing water and dosing ick x so I can get water tested and provide that if it helps thanks
  3. Can anyone ID and help me with how to treat the spot on the head and side of this rainbow? I’ve done a few rounds of general cure. The spot on his head seems to be getting better but the one on his side is not. It’s like a big bump underneath one of his scales thanks
  4. Hi All, I've been keeping fish for ~ 2 1/2 years now. My dad had a tank when I was a kid so I was familiar with a lot of the fish, but not so much taking care of them. I decided out of the blue one day to go get an aquarium and started with a 65 gallon community tank. My daughter started showing interest in it so I ended up getting her a 20 gallon as well. Had a few disasters early on but I eventually figured it out. I've been watching the Co-op Youtube for probably most of the time since I started and I've also slowly started collecting collecting everything from the website :). Plants, USB Air pumps, sponge filters, tubing, Easy Green, Fluval lights, pleco caves, apisto caves, meds, etc... I currently have 4 tanks plus a 10gal QT tank. This is the 20 gallon that was my daughters. She isn't so interested anymore so I took it over and removed her very colorful decorations. Currently houses 2 hatchet fish, Longfin albino bristlenose, 3 Julii corys, 2 apistos, 3 Celebes rainbows, platinum angel, and a lonely neon tetra. Several Nerite snails and a bunch of MTS. Substrate is mixed Eco Complete with BDBS. This is my original 65 gallon tank. Only occupant is a flowerhorn. I got her when she was smaller and i wasn't sure male or female. A little bummed it wasn't a male but oh well. Her name is Fergie. This is a 9 gallon Fluval Flex that my wife bought me for Christmas last year. I believe it is a Black Orchid Betta, 3 small Corys unsure of the type, and a Clown pleco that I never get to see. Few Nerite snails and some other pest snails that I picked up along the way. Substrate is Eco Complete. Last but not least, my 125 and a surprise appearance by one of the doodles. My brother-in-law and I build the stand, can't really see in the picture but I think it turned out nice. Substrate in this one is BDBS which I'm not really happy with but I was trying to save money. It looks ok, but I haven't had much luck with plants outside of the Val, Octopus, and Java Fern. I plan on replacing it at some point. Stocking of this one is ~10 Albino corys, ~10 Rummy Nose, ~10 Black neons, 4 Clown loaches, 2 Bolivian Rams, Albino Bristlenose, Emporer pleco, Gold Nugget pleco, 2 Roseline sharks, panda garra, and ~10 mixed rainbows. Also several Nerite and a bunch of MTS in here. The Clown loaches destroy the MTS. Thanks for all of the great content on YouTube and looking forward to more on this forum.
