I also keep my bettas in small containers, 2 gallons as you can see below in my sig. I was wondering why you use the salt on your betta? I have 6 and have never used salt on any of them. I would think that long periods of time being exposed to the salt would actually hurt your little guy. I...

Sorry to hear about your fishie. Can you tell us a bit about if there are any signs of illness besides the ones you mentioned? You said it was not looking very good? What was it doing? In the hospital tank, do you have a running filter in there? If it is at the top of the tank, my first...

Have you checked your nitrAte levels in this tank? Cories are sensative to this also. Are they showing signs of stress? Are there any red patches on them? Are they acting normal? When you do your water changes are you vaccuuming from the bottom? Keeping cories means although they help...

UPdate: Most of the eggs are no longer on the glass, so I am guessing they have fallen. I looked with a flash light, but have not seen anthing moving as of yet. Will keep looking. As for my Head and Tail lights (Beacons) I have swimmers, but way too small and quick to catch in there. I...

Wow silver i bet they are cute. I am still a bit in shock that I may soon be overwhelmed with fish that will grow out to 8 inches. If they do hatch out and survive i am just freaking about it. Right now I am at 11 tanks, and all full. I am trying to figure out who I can relocate in order to...

Thank you for the reply Silver, I also read what you have written above and everything fits except the very large tank. There are 3 of them in a 40 long tank which is shallow compared to my 55. I have been moving around all of my house plants in my diningroom where i keep the sd's, and so...

I also have 1 cory who is missing an eye, but he or it was born here in my home and has not had one for as long as i can remember. It gets along fine with the others, but i do feel as if it was my fault. I checked and rechecked for something in my tank that may have hurt it, but have still...

Sounds like you have had a real time of it with that tank. First off I would like to let you know, because the lfs (local fish store) probably did not, that goldfish are very messy fish and grow very quickly, while they do not need a heater, your other fish do, so they are completely different...

I was cleaning my tank today and as i removed some of the water, it looks as if i have tons of eggs stuck to the inside of the glass. I have never seen sd eggs before, so have no idea what they would look like. Alll I do know for sure is that there are many many little spots stuck to the glass...

Thank you Silver for your post, it is good to have you back. They have settled back down, and I never did find any eggs in there, which is fine as I would very quickly need more tanks. They seem quite content, and are still eating every single plant i put in there. I have been growing plants...

Glad to hear that you figured out the problem and that you are cycled. Now you can get your corys. Yayyyy Lots of great little guys to choose from. To keep track of my nitrate levels, I checked the nitrate that comes out of my tap water to see the lowest number i could get my tanks at...

I was just wondering if you closely examined his fins? Could it be there is a parasite of some type that he is trying to get off of him? It never hurts to closely examine just to be sure. Sandy'

If you cant get a devider, you may be able to pick up one of those breeding nets and keep him in there to recover. I would think that the fins would grow back as they do when all of my fish get nipped although i have never kept that kind of fish. If you could get him in one of those nets, he...

Why not get the 40 and make it a cory only tank? They are very cute and very playful when kept in a tank all allone. Sandy

Hello and welcome to the forum, lots of great people here. Sandy

Yay !!!! More cories in happy homes, I am so happy for you. I am glad to hear that you got more of them, they are the cutest fishies. LOL Hopefully you have a pair in there now and will soon be posting about eggs.LOL How are they all getting along? Lisa F, I also have bronze cories, and...

Sorry not realy sure what type of fish you are talking about, but if you follow the link below, there are pics of alot of fish. Hope it is some help. Sandy http://www.aquazoo.co.uk/page.cfm/Type=All...llFish/Breed=37

Hello and welcome to the forum. What type of fish do you keep? Sandy

Sorry to hear about you guy, hopefully he will eat soon. I was wondering if you have tried the bloodworms that are made by tetra that come in that jell stuff? I use it to coax mine to eat, i will push a tiny bit out of the opening and swish it around in the tank until they come for it. If it...

Hello and welcome to the forum, sounds like you have a nice tank, i too would love to see pics. Hope to see you around here, dont forget to check out the chat room where you could get to know everyone. Sandy

Hello Cory Keeper, welcome to the forum. Really glad to see another person who loves cories. They have become my favorite, but dont tell the rest of my fish, dont want any jealousy in there :lol: Sandy

Hello and Welcome to the forum, lots of great people here. Thanks for saying HI. Sandy

Hello and welcome to the forum, glad to see you here. :) Sandy

When I first got my 55, i took filter medium as well as gravel and water from my other tanks, and it did indeed speed up the process alot. Are you going to do a fishless cycle on your 55? Sandy

I agree with Inchworm, why not get them a boy? Cories are great fish, and as long as they are Spawning for you anyway, why not try to hatch some eggs LOL. :D I am sure that if you were to get a male, the girls would all be happy with you. Sandy

Welcome to the forum :D :D Merry christmas to you also. Sandy

Just wanted to update you on my eggs. They started hatching last night, was great to watch, looked like the eggs had grown tails, LOL. Then i watched as they rolled down the tank glass and onto the floor of the tank. I am not sure how many I have, as they are hiding. I left the plant in...

Just a thought, but are there places in your tank where the cories can hide? I would add extra plants and such in there to make sure there is a safe place for them. It may not help as your fishie sounds mean, but it will help the cories out to make sure they have alot of places to hide. Good...

I agree with Many a Molly, I have 6 bettas, 3 kept in unfiltered, unheated 1-2 gallon tanks. I do 100% water changes weekly with treated water for them. Some bettas just prefer to be in a tank that has no moving water. I feed mine betta pellets as well as bloodworms. They are all healthy and...

I wanted to say welcome to the forum, and I too hope to see your posts. I agree with all that was said above, in that is is good to hear other peoples opinions on things. Some posts are from people just wondering if they are doing good enough by their fish, and with your experience, we would...

In my 55 gallon, i have brown slime in the hang on back filter intake tube as well as it collects on my filter medium. I have taken it apart a few times and cleaned it all off only to have it come right back. This is the only tank I have it in, how do i get rid of it? I thought it was brown...

Congradulations on your new Betta, they are great. Sounds like you have your hands full with all of them for the holidays. LOL Good luck. Sandy

Wow Rocky is georgeous. I love when they flare, they are just little show offs. LOL Sandy
