okay the corys are still iching at the moment, i will just wait it out ,yes this way is good its stressing me out watching them flash lots :(

Okay so all i can really do now is get my water parameters close to pH 6.8 GH 5 KH 5 , keep stress to a minimal, feed them well, and see if there still iching, should i still be feeding them frozen bloodworm 1 time a week? if it just gets worse what would i do from here ?

okay so say all my fish do become resistant to the ich that's in my tank, they will be fine and not flash/ich but if they get stressed again then the ich will be able to irritate them again. say they become resistant and do not become stressed again and there immune system is strong will the ich...

okay well i will turn the light down abit for them, and try get some floating plants, from what i have read ich will reproduce after they fall of the fish then the cycle starts again, if i leave it in my tank wont it just take over ? or once the fish are resistant the ich doesn't have a...

Also should i turn my light down to make them feel more comfortable ? they are always out but should i anyway ? and is there a better temperature for helping them ? my tank is 24.4 - 24.8 degrees Celsius, should i adjust this ? If i add new fish to the tank after my fish have built up...

I mean my tank now is ph 7.8 GH 10 KH 9 and the water that im putting in now is pH 6.8 GH 5 KH 5 so i still need to do some more changes to lower it, okay so feed them moderately, lots of water changes, and leave the tank alone. this should help them build up resistance. will the flashing stop...

Byron I want to take the slate out the tank since it might not be helping me do what i want to do, but i need somewere for the fish to hide, (lots of other places but i want them to have more) Could i add the driftwood after boiling it for 2-3 hours to the tank or should i leave the tank while...

no sorry its at night, i turn the tanks lights out at 5pm and she starts breathing heavily at about 8pm. i wake up, and shes breathing fine in the morning and afternoon until about 3 hours after the tanks lights go off at 5pm, the corys are breathing fine and surfacing the same amount. although...

i have seen her itch 2 times in the last 3 days, so she might be flashing, she does itch from time to time though, my output of the filter is above the surface witch creates bubbles and micro bubbles so good surface movement but should i add an air stone just encase? Shes doing it from at 8:00pm...

Hello Byron, It seems like my golden gourami is breathing quite fast the last two nights, I didn't change any water yesterday I have today but I don't think that's the problem, she was doing it last night then I turned my room lights right down and i think she stopped but i cant be certain, she...

im changing 25% Ro water at pH 6.8 GH 5 KH 5 i will add slowly

Ahh i see haha okay I will, good that's what I want, okay i will be monitoring them as much as possible, Thank you very much Byron, i will update you on this thread of how it goes, cheers !!!!

/ My tank is 80L so 17.5 Gallons, okay i can make that mix, and I put a heater in a bucket with a thermostat to get the correct temperature and add an air stone, what does pails mean? okay 25% water change with 3 day intervials 1/3 mineral mix, test 1-2 times a day, sound good ? yeah i dont...

Okay I see what you mean now, yes that's what im looking for !! Okay i will do this, what parameters should the water im adding be roughly ? Thank you

Byron I was thing if im only changing pH by 0.2 and GH/KH by 2 how can i achieve this ? my tank water pH 7.8 GH 9 KH 13 Minerlas RO pH 8.0 GH 8 GH 8 Pure RO pH 7 GH 0 KH 0 If i mix pure RO with Minerals RO the KH will be a sudded drop compared to pH and GH should i just do small water...

Okay in this that case then I will try to take ph down by 0.2 degree and make sure GH/KH are no more than 2 degrees difference in the water that im going to to change, would you suggest doing 5% a day a keep monitoring or 20% each week or what ? Thank you, Charlie

So I have 1 x Golden gourami, 5 x Bronze corydoras, 5 x kuhli Loach, 5 x Amano shrimp, 5 x Assassin snails I have just purchased a RO/DI unit. although psi is not high enough so i will be purchasing a booster pump soon, this will be cheaper in the long run and is always on tap. i will be...

Okay Good, they are adding "Tropic Marin Minerals" to my water, here is a link to the same one they use. http://www.tropic-marin.com/suesswasserpflege/de-re-mineral-tropic-en-re-mineral-tropic-fr-re-mineral-tropic/?lang=en Okay so I need to lower my GH / KH for my ph to lower, I need to do it...

Hello Byron, I will try clear this up for you, Tank parameters: Ammonia 0 ppm Nitrite 0 ppm Nitrate 5 ppm pH 7.8 GH 9 drops KH 13 drops Shop RO water with minerals parameters Ammonia 0 ppm Nitrite 0 ppm Nitrate 0 ppm pH 8.0 GH 8 drops KH 8 drops So for my normal water change I buy shop RO...

Yes medication is the last thing I want in my tank, my tank has been running for 2 years now, the pH has been consistent 7.2 until now, I have had the corys for 2 months and they have been happy and healthy until now. in the tank 80L I have 5 x Bronze corys, 5 x Kuhli loach, 1 x Golden gourami...

Okay so my GH 9 KH 13 drops, witch is to high, the reason i use RO is because my tap water has crazy nitrate reading and is harder than 12 drops GH/KH. so what do you suggest i do to lower it slowly without harm to the fish? do you suggest anything else to help with there itching, would Indian...

so i have just tested my PH its 7.8 !! just tested the RO water and its 8 PH so, way to high, I think I will be getting RO without menerals until the PH falls back down, how long should i do this over ? and i cannot see any signs of ich on any of them, i will try and have a look for vevlet. do...
