I have been using AquaticLog to track maintenance on tanks - it does help a bit, however, it depends on number of tanks and if you want to enter data into an app as you do the maintenance

Yeh, they are an interesting organism! I will keep them around for a while and see how long they last in that tank. Eventually I might get some whiteclouds and see if they go for them or not
Yeh thats the weird thing, that tank only has snails in it with no feeding of live foods only a piece of vegetable once in a while - hopefully they will die out on their own eventually 🙂
Has anyone had any success with white cloud minnows eating and eradicating hydra in a tank?
I know that sparkling gourami are probably the best at this, but I have a cold water tank which has a hydra issue.
I have mine (10 gal) with a bare bottom and a sponge filter with snails, when its not being used I raise a daphnia culture in it so that I always have live foods (i have a backup culture as well) - when i need to quarantine fish they get live food straight away and generally motivates them to take on food. Seems to be working well so far i think!
I cannot get ich-x where I live unfortunately, is there a suitable replacement for this item in the Med trio? ( Fritz Maracyn, Aquarium Solutions Ich-X, and Fritz ParaCleanse)
Apologies if this has already been asked
Thanks! yeh, healthcare providers do recruit a lot for down here - it is an awesome place to live though 🙂
Queenstown and Glenorchy are super pretty places to visit
That's cool!! - I used to live on the north island, close to the Hawke's Bay actually, a little further north in a place called Gisborne - I am now in the south island down in a place called Dunedin - we are lucky enough to see the Aurora Australis sometimes!
