So test results of last night was .25ppm.  I read tested it this morning and still at .25ppm.  Plan of action another water change.  So far everyone is alive and good.  Next update will come tonight.  I feel like im doing the right thing by not feeding and doing constant water changes.

What can I say I don't give up easily.  I know I can do this I have don't it before with no knowledge.  No the I have some knowledge I feel like an idiot. lol

It is now today.  I woke up and saw that there were no more fry, just the five, so I put mama back in the main tank.  I then tested nitrites again.  This time we were at 1ppm so not as high as last night but still every dangerous.  SO LETS SIPHON AGAIN.  My fiancé and I kept it up (siphon and...

Ok, so the moving of the aquarium.  My 12 year old son was in charge of empting the tank but to leave enough in for the fish that remained.  While he was doing this I was shampooing and my fiancé was disconnecting the entertainment center to put it where the aquarium was.  I love my son and he...

My difficult life with a 29 gal tall aquarium.  I got the used aquarium home and what did I do.  I scrubbed the heck out of it with hot, hot water.  Made sure everything was extremely clean.  Once done I set it up and added water.  Once the water got to the correct temp I transferred the...

Life with a 10 Gal aquarium.  Once we got rid of the crayfish I emptied the tank and scrubbed everything in hot, hot water.  I changed the filters and washed the pump so everything was like brand new again.  I then set it back up.  I went to my closest pet shop and got guppies, platys, and...

To start, my name is Melissa.  I live in Iowa, USA.  I have lots of tanks over the years, my first was when I was 16 and it was a 20 gallon eclipse form Petsmart.  My sister bought it for my as a birthday gift.  For this tank, she bought me 2 black moors and I loved them. I went on spring break...

I myself are still dealing with ich.  I have had an issue with keeping the temp on the tank up.  Here in Iowa USA the weather was nice so we had the house airing out.  Well during the night we had an early cold front come through.  The tank dropped to 78 from 84.  We closed the house up and...

TallTree01 thank you for helping confirm what I thought it was.  I have also turned up my temp and added salt.  I have noticed this morning it is starting to look better.  It is day 3 so far. I have lost 2 fish since the breakout.  But I have my fingers crossed.  I know I will most likely loose...

TallTree01 do my pics look like what you are dealing with as well.  I too have lost 2 fish so far.  Its very frustrating.

This is my Dalmatian molly

I have a 29 ga tall and a 10 gal.  The 10 gal is currently empty so its just sitting and cycling.  And the 29 gal is the one with the ICH.  before the ICH outbreak all my readings were normal with the test kit. I had some mollies, guppies, and platties.  All the platties have now passed on.  I...

I bought a Dalmatian Molly from Petsmart and she was heavily pregnant.  She gave birth last night and now she is humpbacked.  Has anyone else seen this type of problem and is it very common? 

Hello, New to TFF.  I have had many aquariums in my time but have decided to return to livebearing.  My son enjoys trying to see if there are any fry yet.  I don't believe that I have ever had this must trouble with aquariums in my life.  I have had major issues with water quality in our new apt...

I woke up this morning to find that my domino molly had delivered her babies and also to find that my tank has broken out with white bubbly bumps.  I am trying to verify that it is indeed ICH.  Very Very distress.  Any help would be appreciated.
