I thought I would introduce myself =) My name is Jade, I am 22, and live in Northwest Indiana. I have been a proud owner of aquariums for over ten years, and specialize in raising guppies. At current, I have a 20 gallon aquarium with about 15 guppies, a dwarf lily(not sure what species as […]
Hi Steve, Haven’t had any experience with this particular filter, but I can see its concept has good applications when combined with UV. As Lenny points put though, it would not be beneficial to use it in a permanent situation — for various reasons. Among them, would be the elimination of most all […]
He could have some kind of fluid filled cyst but it could also be an internal bacterial infection causing an organ to become swollen. Can you take some photos and post them to your own online photo album or to the group’s photo’s section and give us links?
I suspect it’s a cyst of some […]
OK. I just went to the website and started from the beginning since most of the email threads have been chopped off so much that I couldn’t remember some of the earlier information.
Looking at the subject and your first post, until we know your source water baseline, it’s hard to tell if it’s the […]
Fiah TB is caused by any one of at least three different (but similar) Micobacteria species — M. marimun (marine environment), M. fortuitum and M. chelonea (fresh-water environments). These are water-borne bacteria and just like any other pathogens, they will infect fish at the opportunity when the fish’s immune system is weakest due to stress. […]
Hi,
The ulcers on the body and mouth rots are infections caused by bacteria. Normally, if the water quality is poor, the fish immunity system weakens. Therefore, this allow the bacteria in the surrounding to attack the fish and begin to eat from the fish slim coat to the scales to the skin and finally the […]
I have a question. My Father has lost Over forty Koi fish over Six months to a disease that includes Ulcers, and mouth rot. We tried every medicine available and nothing seems to work. We are down to six Big Koi fish and have accepted that they may die too. I’m baffled by this disease […]
Does this answer any new questions about my water?
Amber: The water in Ketchikan is disinfected with sodium hypochlorite (bleach) and you need to eliminate the uncreated chlorine before adding water to your aquarium. The amount of uncreated chlorine (also called “free” or “residual”) coming out of your tap will be about 0.4 […]
My first thoughts were like Amber’s as this type of thing does not normally pop up overnight and is most likely due to water quality issues but I know from your past posts that it wasn’t likely going to be water quality issues.
It sure sounds like you got hit with a serious Typhoid-Mary fish. […]
All the computer pros I know use Vista, 2008, or Windows 7, or my favorite, Windows FE. I can make Vista do anything, but I am holding my breath for Windows 2008 R2. T’is a thing of beauty, even if it won’t run Halo2. I am going to start my Bolivian […]
