Followed your advice, raised the temp up to 91.5 and added salt, and it looks like the Ich is on its way out. I'm planning on treating for another week or so to make sure. Unfortunately we lost...

After a year or so of trying to get it right, I've finally gotten my first batch of fry. They've been free swimming for about 11 days now and yesterday evening I came home to discover that Ich has...

Sorry, didn't make this clear: The rotten eggs smell started in the morning before I added any meds, and we were losing loaches in the weeks before the discus started looking bad. So I don't think...

Got home tonight and four rummynose tetras in the tank were dead, and it looks like my last clown loach won't make it through the night. This is really wierd.
I noticed that the wet/dry sump...

Hey All,
Hope someone can help me out with this one. My discus are sick with what looks like discus plague. They started looking dark and hiding a couple days ago, and now they're beginning to...

Thanks ILLUSN for the response.
I just got home from and checked them again. The 180 they were in is running at 6.92 and the 55 I moved them to is at 6.75 according to their respective pH...

I have a possible pair of 5" ring leopards that have a strange case of what looks like fin rot. My question is, can stress, like being caught in a net and moved to another tank, cause massive, sudden...

Anyone have any advice on how often to switch out UV bulbs? Most sources I've read say 6 months with a smattering of anywhere from 3 months up to 1 year suggestions. Any thoughts?
I'm running one...

pink66, to add on to the "it will fade" comments: I had a fish do the same thing as yours when we brought him home. It took weeks if not a couple months to fade completely. Kept us pretty worried...

So I've heard the general rule of thumb is one gallon per inch of fish. I've also heard each adult discus should get 10 gallons each. I'm wondering which rule to follow in a community tank. Is 10...

I've never heard of keeping crabs with discus...how does that work out? My boyfriend keeps lusting after the red crabs when we go to the LFS and I keep telling him no, but do they do alright?
I...

Thanks for the sympathy...I suppose this sort of thing happens to all of us eventually, but that doesn't really make it much fun does it.
The ingredients are listed as Prazi and cellerose..."For...

Lovely....lost all the discus in that tank. Came home this evening, the tank is totally cloudy, and everyone's floating. *sigh*
Any idea what happened? There's this white mucousy stuff all over...

Ok. Just kidding. Looks like we're having issues.
A couple of the discus are starting to show fin rot and signs of gill flukes (clamping, scratching) and they're all not looking so hot color- and...

Thanks for the suggestions. So far no one else is displaying any issues, but I'll keep those in mind while I keep a look out.

One more question...I also was wondering about methyl blue. I've seen recommendations to use it, but am unclear on what it does and how much is supposed to be used.
Thanks for all your help with...

I had a question about young discus breeding. I have a pair that spawned for the first time yesterday evening (yay, my first spawn!), and they seem to get the concept alright. They're being very...

Well I sent him off to that big fish tank in the sky, but still no clue what was wrong with him. Nobody else in the tank seems to be having problems, including the two remaining clowns. Hopefully it...

Here's a pic. You can see how white he is and the two red spots on what should be his third black stripe. There's another spot on the other side in about the same place. They are raised bumps. His...

How fast do discus grow? Provided a discus is raised under ideal conditions, approximately how big should it be at 1 month, 2 months, 6 months? At what age do they stop growing?

I treated with API's General Cure which is 250mg metro and 75mg prazi per ten gallons repeated again two days later. Within about 5 days everything was cleared up. White slime is gone and all their...

That's the only one with any open wounds. There's one other with no open skin but the same amount of white and a couple others have a little bit of white but it's almost unnoticeable. The other five...
