Welcome to the forum :fish: :hi: :fish:Does the neon show any unusual sighs besides not eating? Have you tried grinding up the food into smaller pieces? Tried different types of food? How long has your tank been cycled? sorry for all the questions.

Hello and welcome to the forum :fish: :hi::fish:

I hope all goes well and he is up on his feet soon.

Hang in there Byron, I hope and pray all goes well and you have a quick recovery.

Do not judge all stores by one stores actions. We have a miejer here that has been open for a year and the girl that is primarily in charge of the fish is a fish keeper herself and has several tanks. She does a good job cleaning and feeding the fish. I have talked to her several times and miejer...

When I worked before I retired it was normal for me to use hand sanitizers, getting blood on your hands at an accident scene was normal. I would use sanitizers serveral times a day. But some of the sanitizers being used today feel a lot different and leave a residue which I never had to deal...

I love how they line up for the photo:wub:

I am happy that they are happy now, I have been thinking of having more corys myself. Hang in there and hopefully you will not have to deal with something like this again.

I have been trying to use only soap and water and avoid hand sanitizers except when I go out because I am always reaching into my tanks, It is sad the these accidents happen and fish and fish keepers have to suffer the results of trying to stay germ free. I had noticed a film on my hands after...

Sorry you had issues and lost some fish:( but the tanks is looking good and the fish seem to be doing well (fingers crossed) hope it all works out well.:good:

I am sick of it too, today all I got in the mail today was political ads from both parties.:confused:

As a kid I caught plenty of them using sting and chicken gizzards and guts. I do not know how rivers or ponds are down your way but up north you can catch them just about anywhere even in land locked small ponds. I kept one as a pet for awhile.

I look forward to seeing pictures of this tank. :snap:

I guess I missed it again :dunno:and I had fresh popcorn ready to go. Must be all the football games on TV. I agree with @Deanasue there were a few issues but everything seems to have worked out alright.

My wife make apple pie using apples grown in our back yard and it is good especially with ice cream :wub:

Thank you for sharing this with us. I have saved it to my "fish" file.:good:

Very nice looking tank, looks like you built a good solid stand for it too. :good:

I am not a fan of glofish, I prefer fish to have their natural colors. They do seem popular with kids.

It is a lot of work moving you tanks, I had the same issues when my old 55 gallon had a leak again and I bought a new 55 replacement not long ago. Pretty much the whole weekend was spent on working that mess out and I had 20 gallons of water spilled in my living room to deal with. This hobby can...

Not really hard , they are like anubias your just attached them to something and they take root.

Nice, thank you for sharing the photo. I have been changing over my soft water tetra thank to anubias from Jave fern but no flowers yet.

Hello and welcome to the forum :fish: :hi: :fish:

Congratulations, babies!!!! :wub: :fish:

Hello and welcome to the forum :fish: :hi: :fish:Very nice looking tank, nice looking wood:wub:

Trying toget them to breed , after the luck I had with the red eyed tetras I thought I would try it with my other shoals of tetras but they do not seem all that interested. When I had the castle in the 55 gallon tank they seemed to be in the mood often. :dunno:I guess the more natural...

I tried to talk my son into having a tank. He is 27 but is not interested. I offered him a 10 gallon tank with all the set up that I have sitting empty in the basement plus some of my fish but no. He prefers to look at my tanks and does not want to have to"mess" with his own. When he was a young...

I am doing WC on my 29s and 20 today. The new 55 is working out and I am working on replacing most of the Java ferns with anubias. Some of the anubias leaves turned yellow. It maybe that they were grown on the surface and have to adjust to being submerged. I Have my water down to around 30ppm...

Since you are starting over I would suggest trying a planted cycle, Still work on the HOB but add some fast growing floating plants.

I have a 10 gallon QT tank and think it is big enough since the fish will be in there for the short term. Most LFS keep their fish in 10 gallon tanks around here. Petco and Petsmart have most of the fish they sell in 10 gallon except larger fish and feeder fish.

They are really nice looking stands but expensive.

Beautiful fish, I can see why you call the one a black cobra :good:

Hello and welcome to the forum, :fish: :hi: :fish: I also have RES turtles I raised from babies, they are now 25 year old.

Like @NCaquatics said they are common and usually show up in numbers when you over feed. They can also show up when a tank is not cleaned (vacuumed)regularly. We have all seen them from time to time.

Welcome the the forum :fish: :hi: :fish:nice looking tank:good:

Looks really nice:good:

My platy had fry a few months ago and I ground up flake food to dust and fed them that. 11 out of 13 fry made it to adults.

I would dim the lights or even turn them off to help relax your fish. I do that when I add new fish to my tanks. Glad it sounds like the move worked out for you.

@AilyNC is correct, you should look at hard water fish. You can mix RO water to soften your water but it can be a lot of work. Soft water fish would suffer in hard water like yours and have shorten lives.

I have used Tetra Safe Start Plus which has the correct bacteria to jump start your tank, The small bottle handles tanks up to 60 gallons.
