  1. It’s really all so complicated but I am glad I learned no kanaplex in food doesn’t absorb use in water instead!
  2. I found this while looking around. i think kanaplex in the food was the advice to give and i have been told that in the past. Now with this new revelation I went searching and found this. https://www.americanaquariumproducts.com/medication-2.html Had some good info on there Thanks
  3. Me too I have kana plex, metro plex, general cure, api em erythromycin, Seachem neoplex, and ichx on hand but no fritz. I will have to order the maracyin 2
  4. Thank you! I didn’t know that about kanaplex and the food. I have some api em erythromycin on hand. I also have some neoplex from Seachem on hand. I don’t have mayracin 2 on hand and will have to order. Would any of these others be a good substitute in the meantime? @Colu
  5. Hi I have several paradise fish. 20l heavily planted, male and female( female is juvi bought 3 months ago and male almost a year and full grown). ph 7.6, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrates 20-30. Not heated 71-71 10 gallon - heavily planted - one full grown female the male in 20l rejected, ph 7.6, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrates 10. This female came with juvi female about three months ago. She didn’t ship well and wasn’t doing well at first not swimming or eating just sitting. After a few days the male and juvi female were bullying her so I moved her to the 10g, after a few days in there alone she recovered and started swimming eating and being a normal fish. Not heated 71-72 40b, heavily planted, ph7.6, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrates 40 run high in this tank always ( even tho I water change weekly or Bi weekly depending). Had male and female pair. The male I had as a juvi for about 1.5 - 2 years and female came almost full grown about 1 - 1.5 years ago. Not heated temp 71-72 the male in the 40b started getting real swollen around his face and lips and under his chin. Bump on head big bump under skin like pimple. Feed repashy w antibiotics and swelling went down kinda and knot on head went away. For a month or so. Female fine whole time. This week the male was thrashing about the surface. He was having a hard time keeping himself straight in water and was twisting sideways like swim bladder ( no pinecone). He struggled to get air at the stop and would violently swim around and skim the surface to try to get a good gulp. This went on for several days and then a couple days ago he was upside down at the bottom. I scooped him up in a net and held him at top. He could not keep upright and kept flipping over and within 20 mins bubble came out of his gills and he died. Besides the weird swelling nothing else seemed wrong. I figured some type of swim bladder. Female in this tank still fine. now my female in my 10g is doing the same thing. She is NOT swollen in her face like he was. She is pinching a bit and has a bigger belly but the females typically do. She is staying at the top but turning in her side. She is struggling to get air and trashing her way thru the surface to get a gulp. She won’t eat and I tried medicated antibiotics. about 1 month ago before all this happened I did try and put her in the 40b, she was in there for about 30-60 mins before I took her out. She just didn’t seem right the other female as sparing her and she wasn’t swimming good in the current that tank has. Point of this is she did swim in the same water as the fish that died this week about a month ago. Which maybe explains why she is suddenly now sick. However the female that has been in the 40b the entire time is fine. my male in the 20l is acting weird now too staying at the top of the tank. He acting like he may have a slight swim bladder issue but is not fully turning over or anything or maybe I am paranoid- the female juvi in the tank is fine. i am afraid my female in my 10g is gonna die. She won’t eat the medicated food. I did put some meds in the water. General cure (bc I haven’t seen her poop), kanaplex was in the food. Her tails all droopy and she’s not right. I fed some daphnia and she ate it yesterday but won’t touch the repashy w medicated food. any advice?
  6. I do have snails in some of my tanks but not all. They do clean up your 100% correct
  7. I’m happy the fish ate them but I am very surprised. That’s crazy. Sorry you have the opposite problem as me since you want them.
  8. Crazy didn’t know that Hahahaha right I am thinking your right!
  9. I saw that online too! I just can’t figure out how they suck the whole snail out!!! I mean all the shells where 100% empty but one
  10. I have coral in all my tanks. Best thing I’ve ever done. I had issuing with oh dropping and my cycle crashing. The crushed coral has stopped that from happening
  11. Here is my unpopular opinion- remember there are many ways to keep fish. No one way is right. The way that works for you is the right way. You need ammonia to start the cycle. I am a fish in cycle type of person and have started 8 tanks that way. Another unpopular opinion but use a neratite snail to get ammonia started. They also like to eat algae so added bonus. To speed it along get a good bacteria starter - I use dr Tim’s and tetra safe start. Tetra is a lot cheaper and my goto. I use dr Tim’s when I have the money. Tetra even tho un popular actually lists ingredients unlike other brands. Stability is a joke. Sorry people- no luck for me with it at all. It was a waste of my money. Prime is great but stability- no go for me. Stock slow w some good hardy fish. Don’t over feed. You got this. ps the brown color to the left water is tannins from your drift wood - won’t hurt the fish
  12. I have two horned garras and one female paradise fish in a 20 long. Right now that is the only three fish in the tank. I used one large ramshorn to start the cycle as well as seeded media from my other tanks. I took the snail out and stocked the tank with two garras and my female paradise fish. The snail had laid some eggs and I had some baby ramshorns early on. I picked some out and now they have just disappeared. tonight I did a gravel vac. Tons of empty shells came out. Ramshorns sucked clean outta the shell. Except one- one was deader than a doornail with some snail matter left in the shell. I pulled out 6-7 empty dead snails. curious who ate them the garra or paradise fish!? 💁‍♀️ 😀
  13. Thank you. I have it in quarantine with the other but I am going to try an seperate Thank you. I have him in quarantine w the others he came with. I think I’ll separate him. He seems normal eats and swims good, good color and chasing the girls. But I’m paranoid thqnk you for your help
  14. So I was reading and it could be a defect or tv. I don’t see any lesions and he is eating so idk what to do. Should I separate him from other fish Thank you
  15. I received some new CPD’s today two males and two females. One of the males has a really bent spine. Other than that we looks good and is eating. The other fish look good and they are in quarantine. Should I be concerned about the fish with the bent spine? Should I separate him from the others? Pics to come. Tank light are out and it’s hard to get a pic now. Ph 7.8, kh 40, gh 150, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 20
  16. I’m 38 and live alone so we are good on that front. But my mom would say no hahahhahaha
  17. I am in West Virginia, I would be potentially interested: let me check the weather. I think it’s going to be cold and then warm up.
  18. Thank you! I was going to put them with snails. Basically I am looking for pea puffer food and was thinking in giving scuds a try. Thank yoj for all your helpful information
  19. Let me read thru this thank you for your help!
  20. I would be ordering a culture from dans fish. Not sure what type

    Scuds

    I am breeding snails for my figure 8 and pea puffer. What about scuds? I was going to buy a culture from dans fish. Wondering if anyone has an experience
  22. I’ve had black beard in another tank and this has a different fibrous texture That’s what I am thinking it’s fiberous like a fungus
