New fish- but I did QT him for a while. Doesn’t seem right and his fins look terrible. Should I separate and hospitalize?
Parameters 0/0/10
125 gallon community tank but the other skunks don’t act like this. This one hovers in the middle and kinda seems slow. No fin nipping or bullying.
125 gallon tank temp around 78-79
Just want to make sure I know what everyone is. The last one is metallic
Talked to someone who really enjoyed their Kribs so I decided to pick up a couple. I haven’t turned my tv on in a week bc they’re so interesting to watch. Definitely underrated fish
If I were to type out the last year my husband and I have had, you’d probably all think I was making it up.
Long story short, 2 tragic deaths (my mother in law being one), two days later our tank crashed. We lost our beloved Black Moor who was 7 almost 8 who got us into this hobby. We then lost a newer goldfish to hemorrhagic septicemia and genetically a bad swim bladder.
We kinda have been avoiding our goldfish tank. To some, maybe our fish was just a fish- but so us he was so much Moor (pun intended❤️). Our other fish Vivian has been lonely but we couldn’t stomach adding more fish so she was alone. The tank didn’t have any plants, was just kind of depressing.
We decided her tank needed some love, a makeover and some new friends. Vivian (big oranda) now is SO excited about her friends. She’s swimming around, showing them all her bubbles. I forgot how happy of a fish she used to be She loves her driftwood, plants, and new family so much.
After some QT, here is her new family. She also got her favorite treats (worms, peas and zucchini)
Meet Vivian, Bruce, Alfred, Pierre, Tony and Polly the Fancy Family.
My husband and I just want to sit and look at them.
Having a really difficult time trying to figure out it if these Kribs are male or female.
I need recommendations for a good RODI unit- I’d like to not spend a ton starting out. Are the ones on Amazon any good?
My well water is practically poison and in home filtration systems are going to make the water pretty much not usable for my fish tanks.
I’m very familiar with remineralizing
I have a drinking water RO which I am not happy with for nitrate removal. I need something slower and more thorough. I’m still getting 20-25ppm out of it. I’m also getting a TDS reading of 26 without the alkalinity canister and over 900 straight from my tap.
I don’t mind letting it run through the week for water changes. I have a 125/90/75/10/55 set up right now. Water changes won’t be weekly once we get the nitrates down.
Picture of Mrs. BiteyFace for tax.
It was a test to see what my bettas temperament was. This is my shrimp in the middle of the day after dropping half a wafer in there for the million shrimp and snails
I posted about how I took in a 14yo pleco who lived in a 40 gallon hex his entire life. I was debating on keeping or rehoming.
He’s about 8inches
Well, I got a 125 gallon tank and stand. I wonder if he can go in with the community tank I am putting in it. Even if for just a year or two. I have a 75 he could also go in until we get another 125.
7 corys
5 tetras
2 gouramis
6 clown loaches (about 3 inches)
Neon tetras
2 guppies
I am still debating on if I’m going to run my FX6 or FX4 in it but regardless it will have a large canister filter and a AC110 which is a lot of filtration.
$699 for the tank, stand and lights. I’m not even sorry!! Will be a busy weekend!!
I love the fact I can take my time and enjoy my job in this stage of my life. I’m so lucky. Here are some of my favorite honeys ❤️ also realizing that not everything has to be perfect and that’s ok!
Please ignore water spots. I literally had to throw this tank together. We are experienced fish keepers but not plecos.
I recently took this tank from a family member who was moving. This guy was in it, with a couple guppies, 2shrimp and a couple neons (we had to euthanize the neons).
The tank was filled with poop, very bad filtration and dead fish at the bottom. This guy…. He’s looking bad. He’s skinny, has holes in his fins. He’s stunted and I’m sure has an array of health issues. His eyes are very foggy. For the time being he’s in a 40gallon by himself with some drift wood , heater, internal filter and sand. We have to order him a canister filter (we just picked him up two days ago) I’m siphoning out his poop everyday.
I would like to get him healthy before re-homing it deciding to keep him. Yes, we can get him a tank big enough if needed or the lfs said they can find someone with a pond for him.
Right now, I’m feeding him wafers, cucumber, shelled peas and occasionally blood worms. He’s in a QT tank for now. Am I doing this right? Is he too far gone to ever be healthy and happy? His name is Leroy and he came from an old lady who’d had him for years. I’d like to do right by him.
She’s eating and swimming fine. Top fin is fuzzy.
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrates (just ran out of my test but typically around 10)
90gallon with 2 smaller goldfish
FX6 filtration
Temp 70
edit to add: she has been flashing some. Not often but I’ve noticed it. We suspected flukes and treated. Everyone else is okay in the tank.
This snail (his name is Hubert) has been working in this stem/leaf for over a week. I’m not even kidding, it had 2 leafs on it floating at the top and everyday since last week I come in here he’s working on it. Very impressive.
Please ignore the water marks lol
I have a 36 bow front that is cycled and has a canister filter that’s just sitting empty. I saw some of these little guys at my lfs the other day and kinda want to get some. What are your experiences? I have a flowerhorn, goldfish, tropical community tank and a planted betta tank so I’d say I’m pretty experienced. I just know regular parrots tend to have health issues and I get way too attached to my fish
We switched my FH to a different tank (bigger) & changed her substrate to white sand from black.
She’s still eating and swimming fine. Her parameters are also ok so no need to freak me out. Lmao
I was in a huge hurry bc I didn’t want to stress my fish out but we were moving her to a bigger tank. These do not look like any of the pics on google.
