Yep that’s the gravel cleaner that we use. As far as the filter, we have a power filter that we clean and replace the carbon filter inside about every 1 - 1 1/2 months I’d say. It’s not always the same cause we do it in between big water changes/gravel cleans. We never replace them during a big...

Hikari frozen brine shrimps. I’ve never defrosted them, I always just take a piece off and defrost the small piece in a cup of their aquarium water before giving it to them. I was thinking maybe one of the times I took the package out I left it out a little too long or something but I don’t know...

So the only medication used was in the first coupe days of treatment in the quarantine tank. After that, we did a big water change in the community tank, added aquarium salt, and put Haans back into the community tank. During the first few days of this, his mucous coat seemed to get a little...

Just wanted to let everyone know that Haans has made a full recovery! Thank you all so much for your insight and advice!

Thank you!! Haha yes Colin_T has actually already helped me! I had joined to seek help when one of my corys was sick but he has since made a recovery! And that’s good to know that Naterjm is good with stands! We will be upgrading eventually and will need some help with that when the time comes!

Plants helped a lot I think! But honestly it was not 100% cycled when Fushu moved in. Maintaining homeostasis in the beginning was very tedious, involving 1/3 water changes every few days, but then it completely turned and now it’s pretty self-sustaining between the plants and all our little...

Hey guys, I’m Fushufish! I am the mom of one 3 y.o. Angel fish named Fushu, 1 super red long fin bristle named Toothless, and 6 corydora sterbai’s whom I collectively refer to as “the littles”. Fushu is my baby, he’s the most humanized fish ever; he responds to my voice, gives me “kisses” when I...

I agree that it looks like textbook fin rot!

Everyone keeps going back to water quality but literally my water quality is PERFECT. I test it regularly and there has never even been a slight deviance in its balanced quality ever since it cycled completely. I even bought an all new testing kit in case for some reason my testing agents had...

My vote is for cichlids!

But all the water levels are perfect! No nitrate, nitrite, or ammonia and perfect pH!

How can I submit my fish to future fish of the month contests?

Did you see the photo of his fins deteriorating? Also I am pretty anal about the water levels so I check them probably more than most and they are never out of whack. I do not add any chemicals to the tank except for conditioner for the new water that is added. What are some other reasons could...

Thank you for your advice, lol even the stern advice is appreciated. The water chemical levels (nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, and pH) are all balanced and as they should be. I agree to not be hasty with antibiotics, they were recommended from fish store and out of fear that my fish would die I...

One of my corydoras is turning white and his fins are deteriorating. I am thinking fin rot but am not sure. There are 5 other corys, one super red long fin bristle, and one angel. None of the other fish appear to have anything wrong with them. I have removed the sick Cory and am treating with...
