I keep 6 Zebra Danios and find them voracious feeders. Sometimes they will keep eating how much ever food you provide., so its important not to overfeed. The 3 minute guideline on the flake food box is only that - a guide line. I give my danios a pinch of flake food twice a day. Once a week I...

I have mostly good news to share and also a question to ask. Wilder or anyone with experience pls help me here. Its been one week since I started the heat and salt treatment. 86F/30C and 1 tblsp salt per 5 US gallons. The dwarf rainbows not only tolerated the treatment well, they all look...

As I wrote, I am a newbie myself. drobby knows better, pls follow his advice. I learned something, sure. the praecox I have are probably juveniles and they do not show any aggression even the dominant male. I have 2 males and 5 females.

I am a newbie myself with the praecox rainbows. But I somehow think that your lone male praecox could not have stressed the 3 new rainbows to the point of dying. the 3 new ones were probably sick already. I suppose you can try adding few more again now, possibly 3 females. and see how...

Very good info about the dwarf rainbow fish. thanks drobbyb. This info I did not find anywhere on the web. all over the web, I read these fish are hardy but now discovering they are not. I currently have 7 dwarf rainbows, 2 males and 5 females. Within 2 weeks after adding them to the tank 2...

I forgot to add other details that are required to post in the emergencies section. 1. Water parameters. (ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, PH, temp', Hardness etc) Ammonia 0 ( was 0.25 ppm before yesterdays 30% water change) Nitrite 0 Nitrates 5 ppm Ph 7.9 temp 75 F till...

I have 7 dwarf neon rainbows and a couple of them seem to have been infected with Ick. I see 2 white spots on the pectoral fins of one of the females and another female has a spot (tiny salt granule like) on the tail/caudal fin. All the fish feed OK, only one of the females is not schooling...

I got 3 cherry barbs today. 1 male and 2 females. The male is very red and is adding good color to the tank

The water cleared in a day and my tank has crystal clear water now. And tests perfectly with 0 ammonia and 0 nitrites. Not sure what caused the cloudiness in first place though.

Yes, I did. The new carbon bags I rinsed under running tap water till I no longer got greyish black water. Next I also used some tank water to soak the carbon filter for 10 minutes and rinsed again with tank water. The cloudiness now I see is not very dense. Kind of white cloudy. Not much...

I did a 20% water change and I also replaced the filter carbon bags. I used only tank water to rinse the filter foam. The next morning I am seeing my tank is cloudy a bit. What went wrong and what do I do now ? Before the water change, my tank wanter tested for 0.25 ppm Ammonia, 0 nitrite...

Thanks much for the suggestions. The neon rainbows are kind of small now, even when compared with danios. neon rainbows I've read only grow to 6 cm. They are wonderful though. I've considered and do like gouramis, but would they go well with the active fish I already have in my tank ? zebra...

I have a 33G tank with 7 dwarf neon rainbows (2 males, 5 females) and 6 zebra danios. The neon rainbows and danios get along well. I would like to add a few more fish to my tank, preferably something with more color. I'd like some suggestions please. some options I am considering : 3...
