I noticed you said there’s an ammonia reading on your test kit, is this tank fully cycled or is the ammonia from the dead fish? How long straight has this tank been running again? I don’t think anyone asked if your tank was fully cycled, so I was just covering all the […]
Ray are you sure that his fish are deing to this infection rather than dieing from ammonia poisoning from an uncycled tank? Not to mention he used a pH adjusting buffer to lower his pH… This might just be a lack of experience too I would think it’s possible at least. We […]
Hi Jo,
From Ray: “This infection overtakes them during the stress of shipping and ALL or most of Walmart’s Angelfish will continue to be prone to dying within a week of your store displaying them”.
Unfortunately for me, I also buy Wal-Mart fish, I have not choice, they are the only game in town or in […]
LOL, well at least with the Hillstreams I know it was because they’re slower, they move is short “spurts”. They are also active all night. I watch them creep over to the Angel’s area where they have their eggs laid and try to catch a midnight snack while the Angel’s are sleeping […]
LOL, it wasn’t like I was dangling the fish in front of him y’know . I figure if they were too slow to get out of the way then it’s a loss on my part I’m not going to cry about it, but I learned a valuable lesson, research all […]
I’m going to do that on the 55 gallon when I transfer them over, for now I had to put the filters like they are since the hood is wooden and I didn’t want to mess with cutting more holes in it when the filters were going to be on the tank […]
I would have thought for the Hillstreams, you would have put both intakes on one end and both returns on the other. Thus making it like a river flow. Place one at mid tank and one toward the bottom on each end… Obviously what you have works, just not what I imagined… […]
I also think it has to do with how big the tank is. My 125 gallon tends to have slower moving spots even though it’s greatly over filtered compared to how much filtration the previous owner had. I have slower moving fish in the tank and they don’t seem to have any […]
Shannon,
Husband is a military man, is he? That usually means periodic transfers, doesn’t it? In that case, your idea of container water gardens would be a good one. They would be easy to pick up and move with you, rather than leaving the pond behind. The clay is no fun to dig.
Probably the cheapest, and […]
