essjay:   Ah, I see. I hadn't realized how sensitive they were. Since I was just buying them as feeders, not planning on keeping them as pets or breeding or anything I haven't done all the research I should (and normally do when I get pets) have in advance. I'm definitely starting to cycle the...

Starlitsunrise:   I popped the bubbler air stone under an ornament so it makes one large bubble every once in a while instead of a bunch of tiny ones. :) I'm working on the sponge filter, too.   fishwarrier:   Is that all cycled means? I thought it also implied a healthy bacterial presence and...

More info:    I have been doing 50% water changes daily with one 100% water change on Saturdays. Yeah, It's un-cycled. I'll try the sponge filter. Would the bubbler add too much turbulence? If not I have a few spares, I can pop one in there right now. I didn't even think of the conditioner. I'm...

I have an unfiltered, live-planted 2.5 gal with sand substrate. I feed Hikari "crab cuisine" (no copper sulfate according to ingredients). I was wondering if there was anything I could get/do to decrease my mortality rate (I'm losing 1-2 every day or so, stocking 12 at a time, maybe I'm just...

Thanks! :) I think I caught it pretty early. Raised the temp in the Angel tank for the others just in case along with moving him to my ISO tank.

Ok, thanks! I totally didn't even think before dosing it, next time I'll think first, act second. Big relief that he'll be ok, though! :D

I just dosed my ISO tank with Melafix for my fin-rot suffering Angelfish (from my Angel tank). Will Melafix harm my Senegal (Dinosaur) Bichir? He's in there cause he was being picked on by my knifefish, so he's growing a bit before being reintroduced to my semi-aggressive tank.

Thank you! I'll definitely have a look! :D

I'm thinking big like 2 or 3 in a 75 gallon brackish as adults with a few other fish. Just wanted to double check that that's the right size. :)

Freshwater at the store. I was going to slowly acclimate them to brackish water as they got older. I have large aquariums set up, I just use a ten gallon to quarantine new fish for a week before popping them in with my others in case they are carrying something. :) Any suggestions as to what I...

As a side-note, there were two of them, and they were in my quarantine tank. (A ten-gallon well-established tank that I use for new fish, where they live for a week in case they have something going on; illness, fungal, etc.). They were alone in there.

Ok, so I'm not exactly new to fish. I've had successful semi-aggressive tanks over the past 3-4 years. I saw these little guys labeled as silver-tipped sharks when I was picking up some activated carbon. I don't normally buy fish on a whim, but with a some quick research the next day I went in...
