;) thank you all for your replies. this is how my test was reading prior to the addition of bio warfare: Nitrate 20 Nitrite 0 Hardness 50 Alkalinity about 75 ish pH 6.4 i agree, i dont want to do this the chemical way, because i dont see a way of maintaining this environment naturally after i...

:unsure: im wondering about this as well because i have a tank that i wanted to add fish to. the person at the lps said my water was fine, but the buffering was lower than their tanks. he recommended i do a water change, add this product called Cichid-Gro, from Tropical Science, and add some...

8) hey, the best inventions were probably ones that were stumbled upon like what happened to yourself. cant wait to see the pictures.

:fun: wow! i am working on one hell of a migraine tonight. this just helped to add to it :rofl: i agree with daydreams.... but thanks for making me go :X lol

:nod: i think you are right Nina, i was just starting out with a new fish tank with no proper instructions. im sure my fish were weak and what not. i did not know then what i know now. i still have my quick cure on hand just in case. hopefully i wont need it :P I would not "not" recommend...

;) i voted no because if you are breeding good stock you would have healthy offspring for the most part. i definitely think this applies to small animals as well. although i own six birds, i never bought them from the pet store they were given to me because their former homes could not care...

i used quick cure and did not have luck at all, i was disappointed in the product to tell u the truth. i know a lot of you recommend it. since i used ick away, i have had no problems. (knock on wood, knock on wood) i cant say why it worked better than the quick cure for me

sorry to hear about your problems with the python. i have to say i would not own a large tank without one. i have a very bad back and could not carry all those buckets of water; once to empty and another to fill. :blink: i do agree like most things on the market, cheaply made. i have to...

:wub: since i am fairly new to proper fish care, i only can handle my thirty gallon tank at the moment. it is located in my dining room, only because my house is more like an apartment and i am always traveling through that room. i can always glance at them when i walk by. i probably would...

:S i tried to add a reply but i dont think it took it. so here it is again: ;) i dont think its cruel to keep feeder fish for those that require a live varied diet of sorts. i dont own these types of fish, although im sure any fish will eat another. it is part of the life balance in the...

-_- sorry to hear about your sweet daisy. i too believe there is as much bad breeding and selection in the fish world as there is in the dog world. i totally agree. i actually feel that way about mollies. :wub: i probably would get a new female for Zorro. i know my mollies mourned their...

:rolleyes: good question Jazz. i am wondering the same thing. just added a male beta today to my thirty gallon which also contains a pair of platys, a cory catfish, and a minature pleco of some sort. i was going to wait a few more weeks and see how this new addition fits in before i added...

Ferris: thank you for your tip i will try that . sorry to say but my beautiful black lyretail molly passed away last night. most beautiful fish i have ever seen. so sad :-( i do actually have salt in my tank and i have platys and a cory and they do just fine ;)

i have to say that i am currently using quick cure and things do not seem to be getting better. i dont understand. my two mollies started with clamped fins now the black one is emaciated and getting more and more spots of ick. treating a 30 gallon tank, no hospital tank unfortunately. all...

SagE: from what you described it does sound like the same thing. they would float around like pieces of hair and then suddenly come alive squirming in the water. i treated with quick cure because my fish were showing signs of ick, and i read that it helps. i also removed all of my gravel...

B) thank u everyone for your help. i work with parasites at my job but these things living amongst my fishies are gross. i took all of my gravel out of the tank and put it aside for now. i also went out and bought new gravel. dont know if i should use it once my problem is cleared up though...

:S someone please help me. i turned on the light to my aquarium tonight to find lots of little white worms swimming around. these little "s" shaped creatures are all over the tank. some are larger than others and they move very fast. are these harmful to my remaining fish. what are they...

:S understand what you are going through. sounds like what i am experiencing. had to get rid of my black male molly today. between work and this fish tank i have seen enough death these past few months. i tried the tank buddies and did not have any luck with them. i tried two types of...

you can also feed her pepso food which helps to clear out an intestinal problem as well.

:no: i totally understand what you are experiencing. i actually am going through a very similar situation myself. my male molly mourned for my female. he was sick also and seemed to mope. he did have other females but still missed her. he did end up dying as well. i purchased a few fish...

:-( came home today and found orange female dead in the tank. white male molly still holding on, although i thought he would have expired today. i had to dispose of him tonight. got one left that is having problems, but eating and very active so maybe there is hope seriously if anyone...

well last night i did a twenty percent water change then added tank buddies from jungle for intestinal and external parasites. my white molly male who looked like he was improving spent the day at the bottom of the tank. did not seem to be breathing heavy or anything. i thought he was just...

:S i know how u feel. i have mollies that look like this. one has scales sticking out because i think he is so distended. my fish too, i thought were overeating. i treated them for dropsy, one got better now tonight i noiticed he is very very bloated and not eating. i think he is going to...

:D thanks you guys for your help. the black molly is trying to right himself and eat when i feed them. im so amazed he wants to. saw this morning a long strand of thin white stool twice. this is my last day of maracide two treatments and i bought some tank buddies to clear up external and...

thank you for your fast response. mine was not because i forgot how to get back here :alien: . well im back now. my tank has been around a few months. my grey fish died last night. stress was just too much i guess. she looked better though. i did test my water and ammonia and everything...
