After looking through the website I can see why. I can see the benefit for research but not for sale...seems a bit cruel. Carlee I just got some pearl danios and they are kind of a sparkly pink. There are quite a few strains of red guppies I have a few different ones. I have also seen pink ones...

78 is too hot for Goldfish. They are cold water fish. You need to slowly decrease the temp to around 68. This will also help increase the amount of oxygen in the tank. It may also help make your sick fish feel better. For bloat and constipation issues in my goldfish peas will usually do the...

Mad Duff thank you so much I have sent them an email. Karin thanks for the suggestion. I have tried auqabid and even tried posting a wanted add on there...now luck.

Oh my didn't realize that :blush:. Oh well thought I would suggest it. I have never actually seen them in any lfs around me either...just seen pics.

I am in the US. California to be specific. Yes it looks similar. Every fish store I have spoken to has never heard of it or seen it on any stocking lists. Yes it is very frustrating. Please let me know if you do find any I will pay to have them shipped to me.

I am looking for a type of Kuhli Loach. I have found the profile for it on a few websites, however, I have not been able to find any :crazy: . This is the profile http://www.loaches.com/species-index/pangio-unknown-1. It is the Pangio Unknown 01 or Panda Kuhli Loach. Any suggestions for where I...

I think there are pinkish glofish. Here is a link to the website http://www.glofish.com.

Hey just to give you an idea of the inaccuracy of strips vs liquid. Spending the extra money on the liquid is totally worth it for you and your fish. Using jungle five in one strips/ammonia strip and an api master test kit and api gh/kh liquid test. Test strips: Ammonia .25 Nitrate 0 nitrite 0...

When I said I was getting a tank my OH said no it would take up too much room. I pointed out that we have two living rooms one of which is 30 feet by 25 feet and the other is home to his 9 foot pool table, dart board and 65" flat screen. I added up the total inches of his pool table, tv, and...

Ro water is used for soft water tanks such as discus and tetras in tropical freshwater tanks. If you have high nitrates in your tap water try adding live plants to your tank to help keep the nitrates down. Edit: Here is an Ebay link for an api tap water filter...

Sami, there are no goldfish. The OP said glofish, which are a specialist variant of the zebra danio that are avaliable in the USA. oops my bad...guess I shouldn't read while my 10 year old is whining about homework... :blush: :lol:

Are those Dojo Loaches? If so what temp do you keep the tank at? Very nice fish by the way.

Sorry to hear about your fish loss. First off even a single goldfish will very quickly outgrow a 10 gallon tank. Goldfish are very messy and have a large bioload. They are also cold water fish and 76/78 is too warm for them. Depending on what kind of goldfish you bought they could have been sick...

I am still new to tropical fish but have keep and breed goldfish and koi for years. You do not need to add anything to remove nitrate and the biological filter will not remove it either. Nitrate is removed with water changes. My understanding with tropical fish is that it is not good to add the...

I am no expert as I am new to keeping guppies, however, I had a similar problem with my guppies dying. I found out that sometime right before my getting the guppies my local water company switched from hard to soft water. Part of why I chose guppies was due to the fact that I had hard water...

It is definitely white spot..have battled it before with both of our goldfish ponds and fry tanks. Will jungle parasite clear work? It does not say if it treats white spot on the box. The active ingredients are praziquantel, diflubenzuron, metronidazole, and acriflavine. I usually treat with...

With Dojo's being cold water fish is it safe to turn the heat up to help get rid of white spot? Also is it safe to use aquarium salt? Will Jungle Parasite Clear work to treat it? It is a 50 gallon tank with white clouds, danios, corys, and two gold dojos...my moms tank. Water stats are ammonia...

I have a 5 gallon bucket...well quite a few actually...that I cycle water in for my pond. I put some ammonia in once a week and forget about it the rest of the time. I also have one to establish filter media in if needed. Works well for me.

How quickly do peacock eels grow? Thinking about getting another tank and getting one.

No water softener is used in the home. I tried testing both of my neighbors water and got the same results. I contacted the city and they informed my that they added a softener due to complaints about hard water. I am not sure what they added but my water went from having a gh of 10-11 on month...

I have a log and am writing down every scoop I add and the results on the water.

Thanks. Is that the one by Kent? I picked some of that up yesterday. Have been slowly raising my gh. I am up to 6. How quickly can I raise it? I have been doing a little every four hours.

Until recently my city tap water was quite hard. Now there are almost no minerals at all in the water. It is so soft you cannot get a kh or gh reading from it. Because of this I was forced to seek out mineral additive for my tanks and my pond.

I have been using Seachem Fresh Trace to increase the GH in my tank. It is hard to find and does not last long does anyone know of any good products? I need something to add trace minerals to my water. I am in the US but am willing to pay to have something shipped. Would just like to find a good...

Not sure if this is the right place. I have a 55 gallon community tank with guppies, tetras, danios and african dwarf frogs. My other half wants a peacock eel. I am just wondering if this is possible with my current setup. Will it eat all my fish? After a lot of research it appears they stay...

Not sure about its toxicity with fish but it is toxic to cats and dogs. The leaves, stocks and sap are most toxic parts of the plant for dogs and cats, and the primary toxin is calcium oxalate crystals if this helps at all. How long have the roots been in the water? If they have been in your...

So I purchased a sanitizer from ebay. Figure it is a good thing to have on hand. Thanks. On a side note: I ended up with over 100 guppy fry, about 20 adults and two otos. I keep an eye on local classified adds for good deals on tanks at what not. I found an add stating that the owner of a 40...

Growing up I always had ponds with goldfish so when I got my own house I decided to built a pond. They day I finished it and filled it up the little boy across the street came over with the goldfish he won. His parents said he couldn't have it. I have been rescuing goldfish ever since. For 400...

Are uv sanitizers worth the money? Are they helpful?

I have two Otocinclus Catfish for my betta tank and they do a wonderful job. They stay small around 2". They do not bother my betta at all. Forgot to mention that it is a 10gal tank.

If you read the directions on the bottle it says that you can dose smaller aquariums using the threads in the cap. I do not remember exactly what is says as my tank is over 50gal. If the directions are still unclear try the seachem website. Also you can dose up to 2x to help with ammonia so a...

I will read the article. Thank you guys for being so helpful!!! Its wonderful that there are people so willing to help out. So my ph is still holding at 7.5 after 48 hours. I have also lost no fish in over 48 hours...knocking on wood. I have at least three four day old guppy fry that seem to be...

Think I would stick with the water changes as suggested above and then if that is not helping try the meds suggested. Good luck.

So update on the super soft water. I have a 400 gallon goldfish pond and have never had a problem with my water being soft and my ph crashing. Given the recent issues I have been having with my water I contacted the water company in my city. They advised me that they have started adding water...

I have proper ph 7.5 water conditioner by api. I get a change after six drops for kh now and my ph has held at 7.5 for 30 hours. Added more crushed coral and got a gh reading of 125. Is this okay for the guppies?

Ya mine start and stay yellow (kh) and green (gh). I followed the instructions and was confused because never saw blue or orange. Not sure why I am not seeing them though.

I plan on waiting at least a month after this issue is resolved before adding any fish. I would just like to know what I am getting so that I can find a lfs that carries healthy ones. No offense taken...would hope someone would smack me if I did add them now. I have medium sized smooth gravel...

I use SeaChem Prime with my tanks. It was recommended to me by members on this site. It goes a long way and is not that expensive. A bottle that treats 2500 gallons at Petsmart is $9.99. Yes you use a conditioner everytime you change or add water.

Thank you very much I will give that a try.

Water turned yellow for kh and green for gh just never the blue or orange instructions said. Oh and thank you for your ever so helpful answer...or not.
