The bleeding is beneath the skin. Can I add the maracyn plus to the tank if melafix is already present, or should I do a water change, how much water recommended for that? Thank you Wilder =)

No response... I could really use some input here? No change overnight; I redosed with melafix this morning as there have been no changes. The gourami has red pectoral fins though, imagine that has got to be pretty sore. Does this sound like septicemia? should i change water out and add...

Fay, I had success treating an angel fish for camallanus with levamisole hcl. I posted on here looking for information in regards to what I needed to order and was given this link http://www.inkmkr.com/Fish/ItemsForSale.html . I referred to the other link...

Came home from college to find a bad algae bloom in one of my tanks. I followed directions for bleaching, soaking, rinsing and moved inhabitants temporarily to the other tank. Rinsed the tank a few extra times, let it dry, as I wanted to make sure the bleach was out. I did it with a garden...

I was given two angel fish a year ago now. Tonight, one of them appeared to be eating a leaf, and the next thing I looked over the egg was covered in clear eggs. The other angel fish is not following behind her so I'm thinking a few things based on what I've read - I either have two females...

An entire gallon of it? Wow, that seems like a lot. He's contacted a few stores and none of them are interested in the fish. The guy was supposed to call me back with tank dimensions and never did last night so maybe changed his mind, I don't know.

I have been looking for another (third) tank to get for myself and found a decent looking 40 gallon tank, it's used. All of my tanks have been used and after discussion with the sellers, I have trusted they haven't had any fish with serious problems (one just gave up fishkeeping and had given...

Four tetras (two bleeding heart tetras, other two still have not been identified) were part of a fish rescue I did last week. Someone decided they didn't want their fish and put an ad on Craigslist. I am almost sure that if the fish are sick they weren't aware because they had them in a tank...

There are two bleeding heart tetras and I still haven't identified the other two. Either phantom or black skirt. I am back at college and they are home in my parents' care for two weeks until I am on break. I am having a problem though - they've told me that only one of the fish seems to be...

I was reading ads this morning on Craigslist and a girl in my area was giving up four tetras because of some overcrowding & nipping issues going on in her tank. I ended up emailing her because I had a feeling no one else would take them (she posted on the Craigslist for the city I live in, but...

I am happy for you. I read your last post and it must have been devastating, but what a nice surprise!! And a thoughtful boyfriend too. =)

I posted originally in (I think) mid-November, when I found red thread-like worms protruding from my angel fish's anus. I originally didn't spell the problem right but it was camallanus worms, which are not easily treated by any medication purchased in a LFS or even farm and garden store. I...

I wasn't able to get levamisole in any form - I called the livestock supply place nearby and they searched all around for it for me. I have to special order it. Or order it online. I have treated both tanks with the appropriate dosage of Parasite Clear in hopes that it may prevent the other...

Makes sense then =D

Are they? I'm reading that they're for mostly bacterial infections. I have some and can try it but I'm not finding anything about it being used for collumanus. I called around to local stores and none of them have the levamisole by either of its common names in any kind of form - one store...

Do you think I will be able to find this in a store easily, or should I order it? Thank you!

What is an effective treatment for collumanus? I've read several things and need to figure out what med to purchase tomorrow. One of the angels I rescued recently has very short noticeable red worms protruding from its anus. I moved it into my empty ten gallon tank for the time being. Its...

Thanks for your response! Hi, it's a 20 gallon tall tank - I haven't updated my profile on here since the change (I read frequently but don't post much at all). The one at home is over 20 gallon and it's 15" tall (I'm not sure the exact size; the guy who I bought it from on Craigslist said it...

I have two plants on top of my Aquarium lid - just put them there a few days ago. One of my black neons was just nibbling something and appears to be a deceased pill bug (probably from the plant). Its probably okay but I just wanted to double-check and make sure - if it's not I can probably...

I'm posting for someone else, who came to me because I'm basically the resident fish nerd :rolleyes: and I couldn't answer her. She wanted fish so I had helped her set this up in mid-August. So, she has a 29 gallon tall hex aquarium with three angel fish in it. It's cycled and I am not...

I looked for a Google image of mosquito larva and they don't appear to be red - is there a reason these ones were?

I'm not reading that anchor worms are typically white - just to clarify, these were red worms such as in this photograph: <a href="http://www.wetwebmedia.com/WormPIX/2005081302-redworm.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.wetwebmedia.com/WormPIX/2005081302-redworm.jpg</a> edit - still looking -...

I've posted here a few times before. I currently have a 2.5 gallon aquarium with a Betta in it, and a 10 gallon aquarium with two powder blue dwarf gouramis in it. I clean the betta tank often and the gourami aquarium had cycled this summer (nice surprise when I had come home from a trip...

I was given a dwarf flame gourami this weekend by another student who bought it on a whim & she hasn't been able to take care of it. It was in a tank that was less than 5 gallons by itself and she's been having trouble keeping the entire thing clean enough. I've had a betta in a ten gallon...

i've posted a few times here - not that much now. i have (had) a ten gallon aquarium that had been established since september. four platies, two mollies, a snail. at the end of november, i moved the fish home and into a new set up, same filter, because an ex and i broke up and the aquarium...

Hi & thanks to both of you. My tank is currently not with me - I didn't see logic in moving them all again back to school for two week. So I don't know what my water stats are for the time being, I apologize. I changed 1/4 of the water on Sunday; from what I read and have been doing that was...

Hi, I'm Stacey.. I'm 19 and a college student studying music in New York. I've always liked fish - I grew up with my brother while he had his aquarium and all of his mishaps (pleco that became literally huge, most notably). So I decided to get a betta two years ago, it was red and blue, from a...
