    Please help identify this fish?

    I thought 150 would be big enough, but seems not for this guy.

    Please help identify this fish?

    Thank you for the conformation. He actually is a really beautiful fish. And quite big. I will miss parting with him. :( He was somewhat the "show fish" of the tank.

    Please help identify this fish?

    Hes in a 150 gallon tank, with a large water flow. None the less, he has become quite hostile to newbies. :(

    Please help identify this fish?

    He actually leaves everything that is currently in there alone. Its only new fish that get added that piss him off. I suspect a terratorial behavior. Also, as well, I just recently pulled everything out ( plants, rocks, driftwood ) to give it all a really really good scrub down, and do a really...

    I put 3 really beautiful yellow sailfin mollys in there this week, and he killed all 3 within a couple hours. :(

    Please help identify this fish?

    It was an off name that when I bought him, I cant now recall. It sucks getting old. Anyways. He has gotten quite a bit larger than I was told he would, and not quite as much the community fish as I was assured he would be. As such, has become the biggest baddest mofo in the tank. He has a bad...

    Swordtail paralysis?

    When I fill the res tank up, I turn the pumps off, and i use Seachem Prime. I let it sit a while ( and I have a high flow power head in there as well to move the water around ) to condition the water, then turn the pumps back on.

    Swordtail paralysis?

    Tank has been up since November. Its well cycled long since. I have had this particular fish for probably 4 months. I use the full range of API test kits. As for my water change system. I just have a pump that pumps a set amount of water out of the tank into a sink every day ( 7 gallons a...

    Swordtail paralysis?

    I should add also that i have run water tests, and as far as that goes. my water tests out perfect. I have an automated water change system that changes out 90% of the water in the tank over a month period. Filter cleaning happens roughly monthly. Been a little bit more lately cause i have had...

    Swordtail paralysis?

    I have noticed a really odd thing in one of my female swordtails. She used to be quite active, but the last few days I have noticed her just sitting on the bottom of the tank. I can see no signs of any obvious wounds, or even sickness in behavior. But what I have noticed is that her tail (...

    My tank is doomed...

    I use Ich-X in my tank when I had an outbreak in my 150, and I have both live plants and snails and plecos and cory cats, and all had no issues. And take some heart. Yes, getting a big tank up and running can certainly be a trial, ( automate as much as possible imo ) once you get it all working...

    how to put co2 into a gravity/overflow sump system for freshwater without going through tons of co2?

    Is there any good way to do this? All the systems I look at are made for cannister filters. I understand the off gassing issues presented. Would it be best to inject right into the tank? I would prefer not to, but I can see that as a viable alternative. I am really trying to keep anything out...

    How do you recognize Dwarf Gourami disease?

    Ill try and remember to snag a pic of him after work.

    How do you recognize Dwarf Gourami disease?

    Makes sense. I do have a golden gourami in there, and he is SUPER cool. He has a birth defect that connected his under fin and his tail fin as one, so he looks like more a knife fish. Super cool and fairly unique.

    How do you recognize Dwarf Gourami disease?

    Just curious why the tank size matters?

    How do you recognize Dwarf Gourami disease?

    I am not sure what you mean by a Labyrinth fish? Either way, I dont think o2 is the problem. There should be plenty, especially in the main tank. Main tank is filled to the brim with live plants. I have 2 power heads at the top to disrupt water tension for o2/co2 exchange. In the sump, I...

    How do you recognize Dwarf Gourami disease?

    Welp, he is still kicking around this morning. Even ate some food I put in there for him, but still just sits at the top on his side looking bloated. :(
  27. clambert122

    How do you recognize Dwarf Gourami disease?

    Ya, I check on him about every 30 min. he is always floating on his side, but will start swimming around if i knock on the side a little bit. Doesnt look good. :(

    How do you recognize Dwarf Gourami disease?

    I change out 6 gallons a day, 35 gallons a week ( auto water change system ) , 140 gallons a month ( for a 150 gallon tank ). Filter turns over about 500GPH. Rinsed in tank water monthly. The tank sits at a solid 80 almost all the time. It dips down to 79 at night sometimes when its cold. But...

    How do you recognize Dwarf Gourami disease?

    My temp is perfectly maintained and never fluctuates more than 1 degree between 79-80.

    How do you recognize Dwarf Gourami disease?

    Fair enough. Thank you. Its possible. But hes been in there quite a few months now.
  33. clambert122

    How do you recognize Dwarf Gourami disease?

    I should have posted my water params. Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate 10 ( live plants ) PH 7.4 I change 6 gallons of water out of the tank automatically every single day, so the water is always fresh.

    How do you recognize Dwarf Gourami disease?

    150 gallons with about 30 fish in it. I thank you and appreciate any help you can give me, but please save snarky comments.

    How do you recognize Dwarf Gourami disease?

    Its a large tank with a lot of fish in it. Its very hard for me to track any individual fishes actions im afraid on a daily basis. Plus I use an auto feeder anyways, so I rarely actually see them get fed.

    How do you recognize Dwarf Gourami disease?

    So, I have gone through 2 Dwarf Gouramis in 5 months now. The second one is in the process of dying. I have put him into a quarantine tank, but I am not really sure what to do for him. He just kind of swims around for a few seconds, rights himself, and then stops swimming and floats back to...

    Opinions on blanched greens.

    You boil it. If its a cucumber, slice it up. Boil it for a couple minutes Dump it into cold water. Feed to fish. freeze whatever is left for later.

    Tank maintenance

    Also, I second the non replacement of filter monthly. Just rinse it in tank water once a month and call it a day.

    Tank maintenance

    I use Seachem Prime as a water treatment for the chlorine in my tap water in my already established tank, and thats it.
