Can't do much on the id part, But I had two of these fish for almost a year, very hardy, actually good swimmers even though they seem to hop along the bottom alot. LOOOVE blood worms, they lived with three bumble bee gobies, very peaceful. Word of caution, lost both when they managed to jump...

Hi, I'm in no way an expert, but I have used the ick guard 2 and it works well, I'm a big fan of the Jungle products, best stuff I used so far. Anyways just follow the instructions of increasing air flow in the tank, I left my temp at 78. I changed my water after the second dose just to be on...

Not much really, just bought one from lfs, he's still in quarantine, likes blood worms, not so keen on brine shrimp (both frozen) Seems peaceful enough but will see, eventual home will be a 10 gallon with a bumble bee goby and some unknown sleeper goby (lfs didn't even know what he was) Will try...

hi all, I've bought a pair of killifish, picking them up in two days from the lfs. The question I have is, what is the best plants for the killifish, bearing in mind I don't know a lot about plants and want some easy to care for plants. Any help apreciated :D

Hi, I've just started keeping platy's ( a whole month now ) and I seem to have gotten pregnant platy's off the bat. I've got a 20 gallon tank with 6 adult platy's...... now I have a tank devider with about 36 fry on one side ( more or less, hard to count and they seem to keep coming) Do fry...

sounds good, cause honestly the daily water changes are okay, but the thought of going on with this for more than the 10 days I've planned isn't thrilling me. :D

that's okay the isolation tank was empty, I can always jsut empty and sanitize it later. I was thinking of putting the fry back in a floating net tank and treating them all, but I guess I'd have to drop the dose to half for all the fish? And what about any new fry, will the meds at full...

Hi I have a 20 gallon tank with 6 platy's that have ick, I've been treating for 2 days with Jungle ick guard, 25% water changes daily, sometime yesterday, I think, one of my platy's gave birth..... only saw them during the gravel cleaning I didn't even know one was pregnant (red coral, hard to...

Makes sense, but wouldn't the parasites (ick) attach themselves to the fry as they just float in the water?

The problem is, I was at work all day today and yesterday. I am not sure when they actually were born, so they might have been infected. They are too small to see much.

I've been treating a tank of platy with ick for the past 2 days. I just started to change the water to put in another dose, when I noticed babies in the rocks. They are currently in a bucket. Do I treat them the same as the adult platy? Do I put them in the tank with the adults and let the...

thanks for the advice, unfortunatly I think his swim bladder is permently damaged, he can no longer reach the bottom of his little bowl, and just lays at the surface all the time. I tried putting him in a 5 gallon filtered tank, but he just looked too sad in it. He's been through alot, that's...

he's in a small betta keeper, proably around 1/2 gallon. I've read that you aren't suppose to do 100% water changes. Won't that stress out the fish more?

I have a male betta, had him for about 2 months now, he was really sick, lost most of his fins, ( lot of newbie mistakes ) Why don't they include instructions? Anyways he seems to be better now after I got it rigtht with meds, water changes etc. Now my question is I had him in a bare tank for...
