The severum is about 2 years old.now. Yea, I'm going to find my aquarium salt, and change out some water. I hope my pleco doesn't get mad at me for using a.little salt for a while. He survived it last time I used it when he was about 3 inches...haha. He didn't like it much, but, none the...

I seen it in the pic I posted last night, but looked at the severum, and he has pop eye starting on his right eye. I have never seen a good outcome once that starts. Something got to him, that didn't happen to anyone else in there. I've not seen any reliable solution to curing this condition...

I have my method of.doing water changes and keeping it not a drastic rapid change. The FX4 canister has that nifty drain hose thing, and I put that on a.partial close off of the return side to the tank, and I add water as it is being pumped out. Keeps the majority of the water in the tank, to...

Around neutral.

Thanks for the reply/confirmation. I had figured that's what was.going on, but never had to deal.with it before. I usually do big water changes on this tank. I have, however, been slack on the gravel vac's. I usually try not to stir the substrate up too much as I have actually lost fish...

That fish got beat up. For whatever reason, one or more of the other guys in the tank have been.nippin away at that ones.fins. Tiger barbs can be aggressive, but usually do well in groups. Tetras will nip fins as well. That fish may be sick with something. If it is an otherwise healthy...

It's the bloodworms. I had this.problem a lot. The bloodworms are what is killing your corys. I'd bet money on it. Get some good quality sinking shrimp pellets, and use mysis shrimp or something. Corys don't do well eating.bloodworms. They get stuck in their intestinal tracts and they...

Could be an inbred fish. They do that hunchback thing. Platies and mollies also do that when water params are severely outta wack. Water gets bad enough, they will bend into a U shape and die. These are hardy fish, when you get good ones. They will live well in a well established tank...

The lil guy is eating. You just don't see it. Plecos are cool fish. They eat algae, yes, but they also survive on bio film. For those who see them on the glass, even when they don't see anything, there is a bio film that develops all over the surfaces in the tank. They feed on this too. It...

You may have just gotten a sick one. Sometimes that happens. Did you float them for a while before adding them to the tank? Sometimes fish don't.adjust well to the shift, as I have found a lot of folks just float and add without doing a gradual quarantine and adding tank water in with the bag...

Livebearers have lots of babies. As long as there is plenty of hiding places (plant cover and such) I have found no real need to remove them to have babies. Some may get eaten, but again, hiding spots will let some survive. I have had platies crap out lots of babies. Mollies too. Hundreds...

My severum has had this going on for maybe 3 weeks now. It has gotten slightly better about a.week or so ago, then it started like.it is now. The severum is getting to where it is hiding, eating sporatically, and just looks at me like 'help me out here man'. Tank is a 75 gallon that is...
