So I've used a grading chart, about 1 or 2 high grade cherry, about 8 high sakura, and 3 low grade fire red. So far I'm happy. They really like the huge driftwood in the corner. A curious cardinal tetra was looking at the shrimp on the driftwood and he got a shock and skimmed away. They like to...

The fishies now have very very little mucus. I'll send a pic. Thank you very very much to all on this forum for the help.

This is the fish with the worst case, and the white patch is not behind or at the fin, it is infront of the fin. also, the 'saddle' is only on one side. Another thing is that the Cardinal Tetras would have already gotten it. The Rummynose are also having these symptoms. The increased...

I added salt. I am adding melafix in a few days if it worsens.

Nope it doesn't look like it. I've seen my fish with these funny white streaks for about 2 days. I just didn't think it was that serious. I think my fish would be dead now if it was columnaris.

Ok I've done it. The whole tank is blue now haha( I have blue aquarium salt). I have some melafix on hand. The expiry date is like this: EXP: 11/2021 30 So I think it expires on the 30th of this month right? which should be in about 20 days. If I'm wrong, then it expired 10 days ago...

Ok I will do this. I have just added some indian almond leaves to lower the pH. I'm sure it will make them happier anyway. It looks more natural and I like stained water. You are very experienced, so coming from you I think I will do that.

Hard to get... I'll try.

Help!!! @Colin_T ?? @Fishmanic ?

Here's the fish with the worst case...(the tetra above the one that's abovethe plant) The parameters: pH: 7.2 Ammonia: 0.1 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 5-10 ppm dGH: 3 dKH: 0-1

I'll send pics soon. I did the 30% water change. I'll test now.

Welcome! Would loove to see pics of your tanks!

Pleaseee help!!!!!! @WhistlingBadger ! @itiwhetu ! @Colin_T !

After I moved my black neon tetras to the tank, my rummies became stressed and now they have white streaks and white patches on them. I suspect slime disease. My cardinals are fine. How do I treat it? I'm going to do a 30% water change and test the water.

Yes I know what black water is.

I did. A lot. Anyway I have added my shrimp to the 55g, and they are swimming everywhere. The tetras are also babies and juveniles, and are taking no notice at all. Since they are growing up together, I think they can be ok. The shrimp are only about 2cm at the moment.

Wow thanks for all this info and sharing your experience!!

I don't understand why the lol. I've seen my fish spawning, but I haven't seen any fry. I could be wrong.

Ok thank you @Colin_T !!!

I've got 9. If I fail to breed them(which is likely), I will buy 9 more. because they are expensive, and if I do breed them, it's a waste of money.

I am very very very bad at actually doing what I say. I just got the shrimp, put them in the tank and added the betta back. He is chasing them, and trying to bite them, I am very sad!!! None are dead yet. I'm going to add them to the community tank and see what happens. If they get eaten, I'm...

I am doing the 24hr infusoria coz my black neons are having fry. It's super easy, just take some water that has been sitting for a long time(my dad does hydroponics and there was some he had) and add yeast. It's already quite clear this morning!

Today I removed the frogbit and turned of one of the lights(because I was moving the black neons to the breeding tank). I thought it looked quite good, so I left the frogbit out of the tank in a storage box(to sell and also if I needed any). Without frogbit or light: Without the frogbit...

Yeah you need a lot of cords for the tanks. This is for my 6g and my 55g(even without a heater)!

QT tank setup. The fish are in it now(the blue 'mini' algae scrubber is to hold it down.

My shrimp should be arriving today! I've setup my 1/2 gallon but I'm only gonna keep him in there for the night and put him back in the morning. I feel so sorry for him.

Update: I think I know which fish are female and male now. (they have bent stripes and are fatter) Btw, thes fish have tails they are just transparent.

Agree. I don't even have filter media. I use filter floss.
