just call me the talking / typing fish fool. LOLOL Danny This is what I enjoy talking fish, enjoying the hobby. I'm the mad poster :crazy: :-( :hyper: :hyper:

The problem is ich can stay dormant and strike again even worse. I would finish the meds for the tail problem, water change when treatment is done and dose the tank with a FULL treatment of the Maracide. This medication will not harm the fish nor tank if used as a percautionary measure. Now...

Few Questions first: What kinda filtration? Maint. schedule? additives used if any? amonia? Sounds like they are oxygen deprived. Or they can be suffering from a amonia spike that was caused by overloading the tank? Very important to check the water to assure you are not just having an amonia...

You mean you're going to buy hornyflower fish ? No, not CM... LOLOLOL Now back to business at hand. There is a GOOD example on how easy it is for one to mistaken a Victorian species not in full breeding dress. From the angle and head shot I would have said Ruby Green 1st choice. But now that...

yeap looks like to me. the body shape is diff. than that of the Hap. 44. or Thichskin. The body is more slender and the head has a definate slope to it. Maybe it's just my fishie eyes though. I look at all the details not just markings on a fish. dorsal,body shape, egg spot count, color, head...

I would not over treat because this can cause the parasite to become to get used to the med and it have little affect next time around. As you probobly read I am a strong believer of Maracide. Finish that treatment as the package states. Once treatment is complete do a partial water change. If...

Got my saddle ready. and even a saddle cooler to keep the beer cold. :rolleyes: 30* no, no, no, leave me in HOT Florida. My dark skin behind would FREEZE in that temp and have to be shipped back like fish via air cargo. ROTFL Danny

Hi Sue, First question? What size tank are they in now and how much cover ( plants,caves,rocks) This species gets pretty big and can be pretty aggressive. they are a Piscavore and will eat anything it can fit into it's mouth. My adults are about 5-6" on the largest male. they were pretty hard...

Piston pump? I had a few of them... tack, tack, tack,tack,tack,tack you call that relaxing? LOLOL... I still got 2 but they are at the shop (fishroom) not sure what name brand though. I can still get parts here localy from a wholesaler who I buy my flake food from. Where abouts are you...

IMO you are wasting your time with that med. Did you even read the reply above. ? :S IMO / IME the BEST medication for ick is MARACIDE by Mardel Labs. Within the treatment time ( 5 days ) the parasite and it's young are gone. If you continue using meds and they are not working all you are...

silverdollar, I posted a reply to your thread about the ich on the pleco. I suggested a few meds as well and treatment options. MARACIDE being you are on this side of the pond. There are MANY meds but this one I Highly recommend and have used for years. Danny

ROTFL thats great mis Haps. :fun: Danny

Maggie the are Zebra Obliqs. Males have a red underbelly and blk on the face. Astatotilapia latifasciata There is a Lake kyoga strain which Armkes in Texas sells. Here's his pic. I don't keep them so I don't have a personal picture. Sweet,Sweet Fish...... There is also another strain NOT...

You did great. Any fish you manage to breed is an acomplishment. Hell I still get exited when fish breed that just bred. Even when I got tank fulls I still get exited and feel i have acomplished something fishie. :fun: :fun: From past and present experience once victorians start to breed...

Yikes ! what did I start.??? LOLOL All I did was pump them up with O2 just incase they didn't find a tank in the shop. The best was when I returned..... I could just imagine the look on a store owners face when you leave a box of extra fish which they all ready have tons of. i recall the face...

Maggie, Most liekly your fish is a Hap. 44 redtail or a hap. Thick skin. Obliqs. are extinct and most times these get sold as Obliqs. they are pretty good breeders. Once they get going you got a good breeding pair / colony. They are NOT as bad as convicts but they will produce several spawns...

Yes you want to treat any fish that has been in the tank or has come in contact with the fish from the infected tank. Chaces of the fish or a fish dieing are slim AS LONG as you treat the tank. Once they develope a bad case it will attach to there eyes and gills. Once the parasite has...

ROTFLOL....... Ooops sorry cm didn't mean to rat you out. :crazy: Danny

I say young Ruby Green .? Could be Astatotilapia Aneocolor though. No wait, FlameBack. No, no, wait, lolol is it Ruby Greens cm ? danny

hummmmmmmm, was gonna post pics of my furry friends but didn't see the button. ??? Maybe better that I didn't though, there's a poss. I woul;d get carried away and post more than one picture. Danny

Never I know there are Many Victorian nuts out there and you are one of them. :-( Nice pic.... :o More, More More, Danny

Yepers, give me some time. Hey, after all the you see the size of that darn reply to ich ? Daaa, alright other than the meds suggested did you read the reply on ich above ? I believe I covered all grounds there. Keep forgetting some our fishies friends are across the pond. Big pond at that...

Ghost shrimp are fairly easy to breed providing they have a heavly planted tank. Most times when bought they are already loaded with eggs and or young shrimp. They WILL eat the young so plenty of live plants is a must. A mild current is also suggested. Not much to it, just a planted tank, a...

Sounds like ich. I just posted a reply on ich. wher is it??????? Here, too lazy to write all over again. Fish Forum thread on ich. As I mentioned there, you will need to treat the fish / tank with a good medication. I reccomend Maracide by Mardel Labs. This is a common accurance in the cooloer...

Grabbing Cowboy hat , boots, spurs, rope, winchester riffle and saddle. I'm ready Harry. Burrrrrrrr too cold for horse ridding. Maybe I will come back next summer when the horses are not shaking so much and my knees aren't buckling from the cold. Danny

Bad thing is when you over load your LFS with a certain fish. Years back I had a pair of convicts that bred and bred and bred. I had EVERY local pet store stocked with all different sizes. It came a point they said NO MOR convicts. At the time I had a few LG albino oscars which I though would...

LOLOL Actually the resson I say that is, I got a female FRIEND who has a tendancy to reffer to me as a male hore? I'm a saint though. See the wings and halo. :rolleyes: But in all reality I am NOT, NO, NO, NO,... LOLOL Since I have been single most all my assosiates remind me that I am...

Question? you are not adding salt to the tank i hope. Cories do not tolerate the salt. Corydoras are also very dosile and sometimes fall the victim of aggression. They tend to preffer the company of other corydoras IME they do better with a friend / partner. It does sound like a secondary...

In most cases the introduction of a new fish or fishes can cause kaos in an established tank. Have you tried rearrangeing the tank? Danny

LOLOL.. Would try but I am like a cave fish. I enjoy the single life but most of all enjoy the time to myself and my fishies. thats maybe why all the pretty's stay away they realize I am a loone. ROTFLOL.. Not to mention trying not to let kids think ( notice I said THINK ) dads a male hooker...

awwwwww Apistos... That is one NICE male. Nice group of fins I must say Gibbo. How big is the spiny eel? Mine always seem to find a way out of the tank so I have decided to give up on killing them. But yet, maybe I can set up another tank just for eels.. O, O, better stop on the thought. Or I...

I have never dealt with them but have used there info in many cases. They have a wide variety of information and even an log of tons, I mean Tons of Cory Cats. A must to check out if you are into CoryCats. I LOVE CORYDORAS Enjoy, Danny

What kinda medication are you using ? IME many meds do not catch it first time around. The quality of the meds and the dose has alot to do also. I am NOT one to use Meds UNLESS it means Life Or death. ich is one of those cases. I use Maracide by Mardel Labs. I have used it for years and...

LOLOL gesh what a reputation I got... LOLOL Speaking of which gotta get some answered... Danny Turkey day was GREAT. I cooked like a fool and ate like a pig. No wait like a Great White shark. Gotta have fins....

Not a fish shop. I rented a shop which is where I keep all my tanks now since I moved and don't have the room I had before. In shop I mean like work shop, only this is my fish shop. Not store like shop. The fish I sell I sell online and ship airfright. But maybe someday I will open up a BIG...

I know that feeling cichlidmaster. When I moved I had to move all 102 tanks that where filled and about a dozen empties. That was a B*^%$. First one was the 125 with the stand and canopy. Took three trips just to get that tank/stand/and fish moved. Heck only took me 2 trucks and what 4-5...
