:(Okay, I’ll keep you posted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve been doing a half dose in the morning and a half dose at night (roughly 12 hours apart) and it’s been working.. yesterday I did the normal morning half dose.. did a water change in the evening and remedicated with another half dose- which I’d be putting in at that time anyways. It doesn’t...

Oh no:(( I’m sad to say one of my rams died just now.. the one who looked better of the two. I literally took a video of him this morning because of how good he looked.. I did a 20% water change today, remedicated with a half dose of ich x as recommended. Did the water change shock him? I can’t...

Wha a relief! Thank you :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So as much as my rams are being more active today than they’ve been in a while, and even eating more.. I’ve noticed small red marks now.. only one on the female, two on the male.. should I be concerned? What are they? Does ich x help with it also? ‍♀️ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He’s had it since I’ve gotten him, which is about 3 weeks ago. Also I’m planning on doing a water change/gravel vac in a day or two Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

UPDATE: This one is much better than the last. It’s been a few days using half dose ich x and monitoring all my fish closely. All are well and as of this morning my female ram has no more spots :) and my male only has 3! First picture is my female, she’s been hanging out in the cave a lot and...

The only reason I’m skeptical is because I’ve almost lost my snail because of aquarium salt in the past and I do NOT want to lose him. He’s honestly my favorite in the tank. Not that I want to lose my rams either. I’m going to proceed with caution and hope all ends well Sent from my iPhone...

Right but salt isn’t safe for snails and corys I thought? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow, thank you. Makes sense.. I spoke to the guy at the pet store about medicating like that and he said it’s only done because there’s new fish constantly being added to the aquariums and it’s preventative.. Nonetheless the ich x is the only medication I’ve found safe for inverts, corys, etc so...

**UPDATE Kind of freaking out over here.. I noticed my male has gotten worse.. few more white spots, and (idk if I’m being paranoid now) I’ve noticed a red dot by his gill, a slight red line on his side, and also a growth or bump of some kind on his head.. still eating and pretty active...

Sounds good to me thanks [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s what I needed to hear lol thank you. I’ll keep the post updated and we’ll see Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh I hope I don’t! My corys seem okay so far.. and I’ve been using very very minimal salt because of them and my mystery snail (who is actually my favorite in the tank lol). All seem to be doing well. As for my rams.. it’s been a few days now, temp between 84-86. I did a 40% water change...

Haha! Thanks so much, everyone aside from my rams definitely seem fine. I was able to get a few pictures.. seems like the male has a few more spots but they’re VERY tiny. I thought he had none at first glance. The female definitely has less but she seems to be laying low more than the male. Here...

I’m typically not too patient with things like this lol so I’ll try to go another week or so of observing and see if there’s any improvements. If anything gets worse I’ll have to make the appropriate changes. Keeping my fingers crossed Also just lowered the level of the water a little bit to...

My cories do go to the surface “normally” but when getting them I was told it’s a regular thing for them to do as long as it’s not too frequent.. their breathing isn’t rapid, I’d say it’s what I consider the usual for them- I’ve had them for a couple of months now. Do you suggest I lower the...

Yes the unit is ppm on my water test. What can I do to raise it then? I’ve had the molly for about 4 months The cories are still active but seem to be breathing a little slower than usual.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I couldn’t get a pic or video of the female but I got a decent video of the male- don’t know how to post video on here so took a screen shot from it.. featuring my two corys lol you can see one of the specks on his fin and the one on the side of his body Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay so, I tested my water and gave my fish a good look over. My male ram has about 5 white specks total, 4 of the 5 on his fins.. is eating, fairly social, not flashing or scratching at all- Female has 3 total, 2 of the 3 on her fins.. she’s a little less social but is eating and not flashing...

Hm okay. Skeptical about adding anything new at this time though. I get way too attached to these fish lol thanks for all your help I’ll have an update in a few hours Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Makes sense.. okay I’ll test my water first and see where it stands. You think just waiting it out is probably best for right now? With temp elevated. Does turning off the tank lights help too? I’ve read mixed info Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll test my water when I get home and give you exact numbers later- should I do a small water change? If so should I test the water after then?? And again, I haven’t noticed any flashing or rubbing so I don’t get it. Also (if it helps) I have no real plants in my tank Sent from my iPhone...

And as for you not seeing any ich I’ll try to take better pictures when I’m home later but it looks like my female ram has about 3-4 spots on her, and my male a few more.. I’d say about 5 or so- as of this morning when I left for work. They’re white specks, very small. And ALL on the fins which...

Hi thanks for reaching out! I have a 20 gallon aqueon tank. It’s been set up since February. Current temp is between 82-86. pH is around 6.5, ammonia 0, nitrate and nitrates close to zero, I have gravel substrate(some of which I’ve recently taken out just due to preference over time with...

I have two heaters in my tank.. one only goes to 78 and the other is adjustable and I’ve gradually increased it to 86.. the temp varies from 82-86 right now. I haven’t used any meds and I’m trying not to. Because of my snail and corys I feel like I’m limited so I’ve used only a tiny bit of salt...

Please give a look to my original post, attached here. Added an update this morning.. in need of some advice Ich? https://www.fishlore.com/aquariumfishforum/index.php?posts/3605240/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome, thank you! That’s what I thought as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello! I’m new to the forums so bare with me[emoji4] I recently got 2 German gold rams and I’m trying to see which gender they are. I’ve read you can tell by their dorsal fin but I’m just not sure, any help is appreciated :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
