You could get an arowana. He will fix your clown loach problem. IMHO

The medicine I used recomended two doses lasting 48 hours each and then a 25 % water change after the final dose. Whould you recomend (3) 48 hour doses the next time around?

Here's my tank setup. 20 gallon long Lots of tall silk plants. PH 6.8 No ammonia or nitrite. 2 platties 2 dwarf gouramis 2 blue gouramis 1 redtail shark 3 corrie cats The two platties developed a mild case of ich. I treated them with the capsules and followed the directions. The spots fell...

Thanks for all of the info. I checked other sites and everything is really positive. I've read that they really like the ph in the range of 5-6. My ph is currently 6.8. They look really cool.

This site was extremely negative towards the rams. It appears that they have been overbred thus resulting in their small size. I don't like the fact that they are riddled with parasites.

Thanks Breezer. Do you know where I can find some pictures and care info for rams? Thanks,

Thanks Chris, What do you think would qualify as overstocking for africans in a 20 gallon? 3 or 4? Or 6+?

Don't tell me I need a 125 gallon tank. What cichlids would be suitable for a smaller tank? I had a guy at work tell me he used to keep 8 african cichlids in a 15 gallon tank. I told him that was severe overstocking and he told me to go to any fish store to see 25-30 in a small tank. I know...

My gourami came out of hiding. He has ick really bad. I have him in a salt bath right now. The platys see unaffected.

I put 3 plattys and 2 blue gouramis in my 20gal last Friday. On Sunday, I found the one gourami dead. Yesterday I found one of my plattys dead at the bottom of the tank. What really concerned me was that it's fins and tail were completely missing. I think my blue gourami ate it. They have...

I thought catfish eat the feces. It's what they do in the wild. They eat decaying matter.

Since I didn't have any ick medicine, I gave the gourami a salt bath. I used 1/2 gallon of tank water and 2 oz of Kosher salt. I kept him in there for about a 1/2 hour then released him back to the tank. He seemed to be great. My wife called me at work this morning and said he is missing. I...

I've notice that my gourami and platys will eat the freeze dried worms then spit them right out. I don't know if they don't like the taste of the texture of these things.

SuperPetz had a special (5 fish for $5). Last Friday, I picked up 3 platys and two blue gouramis. They have a 14 day buy back guarantee. 1 of the gouramis died the following day. This morning I found one of the platys at the bottom of the tank. It was missing all of it's fins and tail. It...

Thanks for the link JimW13. Here's an online site that sells bio spira http://www.fishstoretn.com

I like barbs. My Neighbor has tinfoil barbs and they are huge. I dont think they would do well in my 20 gallon. He has a 125 gallon tank. They reason I like the tetras is that they seem to be really mellow and I think my kids will like looking at them. I will check those threads for the...

I plan on keeping various tetras in the tank.

I've read about the bio spira on other links. I did a search on google and found the manufacturers website. I could not locate any retailers selling it. Aparently the stuff must stay refrigerated. If anyone knows of a large retailer that sells this stuff, please advise. Thanks

Thanks for the tip. I will ask the pet shop for a bio ball. Is this a piece of their filter media or is it a packaged product? My tank is a 20 gallon long. Should i try again with guppies?

I set up a 20 gallon the other day. I asked my wife to pick up 2 cheap fish to cycle the tank. I was expecting two guppies or goldfish. She brings home two angelfish. My wife means well. I come home today and find the one stuck to the inlet tube on the filter and the other laying on the...
