Anyone? :)

This is Domo, who was sold to me as a Fireline Mloto, but I'm not so sure. What do you guys think he is? Darn it... the "before" pic of Denim didn't attach to my 2nd post. Here it is again.

ETA: A pic of Denim, about a month after I got him.

I'll do them one at a time. :) This is Denim. He was silver/white barred when I got him, but now he's this gorgeous boy. Is he an Ahli? This is Boris - no one knew what he was at the store, but I thought he looked like a red fin borleyi, so I snatched him up. Now, I'm not so sure. Is he...

These are great tips!!  Thank you!!  As soon as my tank finishes its fishless cycle, I'll get some beauties in there to photo!  :D

This is one freakin' amazing set up.  I'm realllllly impressed!

Aww, cute!

Holy cow, that's awesome!  :D

Aha!  lol, ok.  Thank you!  *off to peruse and comment on pretty fishy pictures*

Thank you.  I tried everything I was told and everything I could think of.  Poor guy...  he was a fighter though! On an entirely different topic:  I haven't bee able to upload my profile info and pic.  Help??  :/

I've been posting about him over in the emergencies thread, and didn't want to double post everything over here as well, but he didn't make it.  :(  

Thank you all for your help and guidance.  He passed on his own last night.  :(  I visited the LFS today and they didn't have any in stock.  I told them about him (and Quint) and the cashier reluctantly told me that since their entire tank had died, the owner wasn't planning on getting any more...

Yes, please. Details, please. *sobs* (I don't know how to disinfect my tanks & filter media either)

I took a couple of pics so you can see the severity of the situation & the split on his side. Ohhhh my poor little guy!!! :( His water is between 0 & 0.25 ppm ammonia now (still working on that several times a day! I just added a sachet of ammo-carb to his biowheel filter (it has an extra...

I was feeding him at night initially. Now I've tried both. He used to nose his pellets around the tank and tear his brine shrimp flakes to pieces before swallowing them down. *sigh* :( The split on the side is... like a crack? He hadn't moved but it opened up on one side. I don't know...

He looks better overall, staying oriented the right way, but he's still not eating and is emaciated.  I have also been giving him the pellets you mentioned, but he wouldn't eat one placed right in front of him, soaked in garlic first.  I'll try the prawn, but I'm really worried.  His tail fin is...

Thanks, everyone!!  I'm going to move him to the 30gal right now!  I've been doing daily water changes, and his slime coat is gone, he's emaciated, and just generally lying on the bottom.  :(   Ahhhh, that makes sense!  I'm on it.   I know, but I bought "Ammo Carb" carbon - which is supposed to...

yes, the 4 gallon was cycled, but the ammonia spiked. The 30 gallon is not cycled yet, or I would have already moved him. The 4 gallon was simply a holding tank while the 30 gallon cycles, because when I bought him, he was in a bowl with an airstone and that's it. I couldn't leave him in less...

Thanks, everyone! It's my favorite of all time & also the name of my iridescent shark who is in trouble. I posted about him over in Emergencies, but haven't gotten much advice yet. He's still hanging on, though he's lying on the bottom panting now. :(

As promised, I'm reporting back with the details: I bought an API master test kit after work. Ammonia was 4ppm  (YIKES!!) Nitrates and Nitrites were 0 pH was 7.0 temp was 75F this afternoon, but it gets down to about 72F at night So, after doing the first test, I used my gravel vacuum and...

Thanks, gang!  I'm re-learning things I knew once upon a time, lol.   :)

He's only an inch and a half right now, but yes, I realize he'll eventually be 3 feet long. I plan on having a indoor pond of some sort in the long run . ;) Of course I'll test the water when I get home & report back. I've added a pic to the OP as well as here.

Tank size: 4gal (I have a 30 for him that I'm cycling now) pH: "normal"  ammonia:? nitrite:? nitrate:? kH:? gH:? tank temp: 72 - 74 Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): He's covered in a white film like he swam through a spider web, his head...

...and doesn't have a clue!!   Hi!  I once had 6 different tanks going at once (from 1998 - 2000), including a 75gal Saltwater reef, a 33gal Long Malawi Cichlid, a 20-something Gold labidochromis breeder, a 15gal tropical, and a 5gal Betta hex.  I really missed having the serenity and beauty of...
