Tony s Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I think you'd be fine to add another 3-4 anytime you want to. You seem to be pretty stable now😃. then for the next batch, I've been impressed with the green neon. Joanna Adams sold my daughter 10 at aquashella. they're still going strong and have a lot of color 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitecloud09 Posted September 3 Author Share Posted September 3 @Tony s, I am going to order another sponge filter, same size, other size of tank, no flow other side, and the water is cloudier on that side. Think that sounds good? thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryWithAKatana Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 That sounds great. Sponge filters aren't the best for flow throughout the tank so one on both sides will probably help with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm sure you know, the one area they are horrible at is mechanical filtration. The new sicci shark that Jason was demonstrating looks really good and would do a great job of mechanical filtration for you. But no idea when it's coming out or what it costs. For now, an extra sponge would do the job 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitecloud09 Posted September 7 Author Share Posted September 7 Bad news, I only have 2 panda corydoras now........😭. Yes I know, crazy. One died 2 weeks back, then the next had coumnaris or some bacterial infection, and then one died 2 days ago, and then one today, besides the one with the infection that passed they all looked normal. Now my two are not very active and do not eat much either. I am so confused... Ammonia is a lil under .25 ppm. Very close to zero. Nitrite is 0. Ph same. 7.5 hardness same. temp stable in between 75 and 76. @Colu, @Tony s what is happening? Maybe a parasite in the tank. Idk, and I am very discouraged, the tank is getting super difficult to keep clean and maintain. BGA is showing up too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony s Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Wow, so sorry to hear that. What treatments have you used on anything. Or did you lose them before you could treat? I know the Cory with fungus passed quickly. Did you use anything in the tank for that? if you have blue green algae, that could cause you a whole range of problems. It has me. That’s what crashed my big tank when I treated for it. Luckily I had places for some fish to go. I still have it in a couple, but got fritz slime out in this week. bga is capable of producing toxins as well, I believe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I did one dose of Ich X, and the next day, the second fish (the one with the infection) passed. There is more and more and more and more and more every day of BGA. @Mmiller2001 has been helping me, so i will ask him soon. Should i Buy a filter for 5g and put them in there? But I am tighter on money rn so it would be a week or two. Since I put fish items not last but lower when it comes to actual needs if that makes any sense lol. @Tony s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 The fact you have lossed multiple fish over a short period of time there could be a bacterial component I think it would be worthwhile doing a course of kanaplex or maracyn2 @Whitecloud09 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it should also clear up your bga 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using meds will help your bga. Not using less than full meds … well, still ambiguous. I’m sure you get the point though 😅 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitecloud09 Posted Friday at 03:33 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 03:33 PM Goodness, been a bit sorry guys! Update: tank is struggling, BGA and other annoying alages are taking over while my 2 not very active (but healthy) pandas are still in there. wed completed my 3 dose kanaplex week. Filters are doing their best, but I need to clean one of them soon. I have not checked water parameters in several days, but I do have one excuse lol. I am EXTREMELY busy during the month of September and October too. 😩. Here is photos of my tank today. Going to check parameters today. yeah looks rough......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
