Hi all,

Haven't posted in a long time, have started keeping fish again after a long layoff, no discus for now. Have decided to go with angels. I know angels are mega hybridized/mixed but I...

I always enjoyed the low ph-ness of this forum :-) and still do. I never had interest in keeping lake cichlids and this forum pretty much covered all the fish I like. Most importantly it does...

I had a very similar problem once with a discus. didn't eat at all, and what was coming out was like what you show there, i thought it was tapeworm but the string of poo had different thickness at...

Got one 18" cube tank for sale, very thick base, metal bracing on the sides, comes with glass lids, quality tank $25

It's not really clear if you've cycled your tank yet or not? Is your bacteria building up still, i.e. are you cycling your tank? If it is let it build up :-)
Usually your filter should be capable of...

Sounds like you've poisoned them with something....

I can't belive you haven't sold it yet ILLSN. I'd try some other websites, don't know what you have in SYD, but the lights alone would probably cost $100...

I will go aginst others and say it sounds good to me. The only thing I'd change is the filtration, I'd go for something more powerful, pref. a canister filter.
One thing I wouldn't do is buy...

The first one can be called a blue snakeskin,
or just snakeskin if you like. Not a cobalt. Cobalts look more like blue diamonds with visible stressbars.
Your's has more than 8 or 9 stress bars...

As far as I know the red jewel cichlid is from the river systems of africa and it likes acidic water so water conditions would not be your problem. Not sure how they take 28-30C temperatures, I'm...

My advice to you is to buy adults or semi-adults if you can afford it.
a lot less hassle,they're much tougher and you save yourself the raising up bit ;) , if you think about the meds and food you...

Hollowman,

I'd use pp as well over MB, but if you don't have a good scale you can easily overdose where the MB will tell him exactly how many ml to put in per L of water etc. I've just heard of...

If you're new to discus and haven't played much around with meds I wouldnt recommend using potassium permanganate. If you get the dosage wrong you can easily damage and maybe even kill your fish....

I did initially say to mattzilla's photos that those geos look like whiting to me :-) but recently I came across them in a lfs and they really are cool looking geos, I'm seriously thinking of buying...

Just try not to spend more medication on the fish than the fish is actually worth ;) . don't know about canada but thos suckers here can be bought for around $5. not worth medicating except for...

You need to identify what the active ingredient is of the medication you use. then you will be able to make a better judgment on what the medication will do to your fish. I dont know the medication...

Why don't you try putting an airstone in the tank to provide more oxygen and see how that goes. I'd do that, i had similar problems once and airstone did help. But it could also be flukes. But I'd...

Jurupari look like whiting to me. I wonder if they taste that good ;)

I've lost 3 panda cory's in my discus tanks very quickly and I think it's the temperatures. I've heard of some doing it successfully but generally speaking I don't think they're suitable for the warm...

I'm with ozarowana, its hex. had a similar thing once, some discus gurus suggested it was a protozoa infection, worms don't look like that.
Treat with metro.

Canadian sphagnum or German sphagnum peat is what I heard people use. you have to watch out because some peats have chemicals added to them.
It's a bit overrated with decreasing PH especially if...
