What about clown loach? I am a loach lover...always wanted a couple of clowns but dont have the tank size

I am so jealous!! Like a kid in a candy store. I will leave this one for the experts, but good luck and do share pics!

What Daveo said...And Molly's are not the smallest, cleanest fish. I have four and the dominate my 26g. Platy's are smaller and if you can trade at LFS, you may want to. You also may want to see about taking a store credit until the cycle is done...then think about what type of fish would be...

For future, start with a few hardy fish and go slow. I have tried fish less and it is hard to be sure that after a fish less cycle, the tank won't cycle anyway when fish are added. It can also happen down the road - I just had this when I switched out the filter medium in my canister and wasn't...

Oh dear...ammonia. Don't add more fish, do a partial water changes ASAP. As you have fish, I would recommend picking up a test kit, prime and or ammonia lock. I have used both and prime is my fave but to each their own. Cycling can take weeks and even months depending on the situation. How big...

Oh dear...sorry about the angel and no, I would not trust the Serpaes. I have them in both tanks - 26g and 36g, and if I get angels (I love, but wanted to know my fish keeping well before going there) I will have to reorganize the Serpaes I think. I also don't trust fish store employees. I took...

I created this today only because I have spent the last year trying to learn what to do with my fish...reading daily online...and never have I found a facebook page that was not endorsed by someone trying to sell something. this forum is also turning out to be very helpful, but I have tried to...

let me try that again with my comments outside of your comments. here is a video I created today...thoughts?

Any chance it could be internal parasites, and if so, why is it so hard to find "wormers" at LFS?

I created this after looking for a page to post and share info and finding that the only ones I could find were corporate owned - sales pages and not really for hobbyists. I have been reading about fish daily for a year and have found this forum user friendly but others not so much. nothing on...

this video is much longer - shows normalish swimming, then flipping out a bit and at the very very end, he starts with the tail curve at the surface. Thanks again for looking at this. poor little buddy.

Interesting...so the curved spine isn't continual, only sporatic? His spine is quite normal most of the time...although I have noticed that sometimes there is a bit of a curve looking from the top down on him. Not always, but enough that I have had the "oh no, TB" reaction. Then he is normal...

Thank you...I was treating him with a Molly...she will be my next question but one fish at a time - and they were treated together in the ten g with Melafix, pimafix, salt solution, tetracycline, general cure & kanaplex as she was first thought to have bacterial and no one could figure the...

I know the water quality is always an issue but I dont think this time - I am very on top of water testing and weekly changes. Mind you have not tested the 1.5g but I do a 30% change twice a week. I have a 36g a 26g and a 10g hospital and a 1.5g that he is now in - he started these symptoms...

Hello, my male platy has been acting strange for about six months. It began with what seemed to be fits at the top of the tank where he would swim rapidly then seisure - literally seize up with tail point upward, nose upward...bent and awkward. After a few minutes, he would snap out of it. After...

Thanks Waterdrop. As fate would have it, he is having a fit at this very moment. I thought internal parasites and tried what was recommended by our fish stores. Metro+, tetracycline, general cure, all of that. I am still leaning toward internal parasite, but the closest the LFS has come to meds...

Hello, my male platy has been acting strange for about four months. It began with what seemed to be fits at the top of the tank where he would swim rapidly then seisure - literally seize up with tail point upward, nose upward...bent and awkward. After a few minutes, he would snap out of it...
