nope still have good colour but one has gill clamped and is breathing heavily
-
thanks think I will dose again tomorrow leave for three days and see how that goes, one of my other discus is at the back with clamped fins at the moment
-
I am treating my commuity tank for flukes and have used 26mls per 100 litres of water - I have adtape I have done one dose and 24 hours done a water change what should I do to continue with the treatment correctly? is the prazi going to be harmful to the clown loaches?
-
my big white diamond is at the back of the tank pointing upwards and breathing heavily, his gills are not clamped but the whole head looks inflamed and his breathing is laboured, he went from perfectly fine to this overnight - i have done a small water change and checked the parameters this morning all looks fine apart from notrates which were at 40ppm - any ideas???
-
I have had three discus happily living in an aqua one 980 - unfortunately one died a few weeks back and I replaced him a week later. Now I am having agression issues my blue diamond will not let the new fish out of the corner and chases him, it has been two days now and the new guy is not getting food....any ideas?
-
I have an aqua one 980 that has been established for sometime and a seramic ph/co2 controller - what I am noting is that the PH keeps on dropping to 6.5 and I have it set at 7 therefore because the PH is dropping all the time the CO2 does not come on enough..any suggestions for keeping the ph up without causing drastic changes?
-
I am looking to buy some microfolia or other suitable plants that will grow quickly as a cover along the bottom of the tank, I have an aqua one 980 with the standard lighting - any suggestions welcomed
-
water paramters all OK nitrite/nitrate and ammonia all zero phosphates are a little high though in my tank are three discus, 3 clown loaches and an albino bristlenose all looking OK the white discus is fine during the day but at nights swims sideways and then hides at the bottom of the tank behind the driftwood - might be a bullying issue? can't see any clamping of gills or laboured breathing
-
I just noticed tonight one of my discus swimming on its side... what to do??
-
do you have pics?
-
I found platies to be too quick to get at the food as discus like food to drop to the bottom so they can make their way over
-
My plants with broad leaves are getting annihilated by my albino bristlenose and gold nugget, what are some good plants that grow well and are less likely to succumb to this problem - i am running CO2, usingSera day srops and florena on a weekly basis
-
did you get rid of it? my phosphates were out of whack when I got my outbreak so I added some phosvec to the filter to bring my readings down, this can happen when you feed in live food. I got hold of some eryo... to clear it up and it took around 3 days but its gone and didn't come back it didn't hurt the fish either I was really worried about my gold spot ... you just need to siphon it all up as it dies so your filter dosen't get overwhelmed
-
thanks i have also noticed since I started the Co2 injection and adding sera day drops as fertilizers thee is an oily type film at the top of the tank - any ideas?
-
looks a little like it - how do I get rid/control it?
-
HELP I have a green fluffy algae on my drift wood looks a little like grass but kind of growing in clumps, I alos notice there is some light brown fluffy stuff on the top of my plant leaves - I am using CO2 and dosing with ferts
-
I would go with prazi as its possible its gill flukes - kind of like fleas which drive the fish crazy they start darting about - mine used to do full 360's in the tank and appear really agitated is one of the gills clamped down at all? can you notice any differences in the breathing at all?
-
sera discus granules, seem to bring out the colour well and the sink which gives the discus time to eat....love daphnia as well and the occasional bloodworm
-
yeah I was looking at is closely to see if maybe i had a pleco on my hands but it grew really large in the head area! and still has bristles
-
thats what I thought and today its happily out and about as well
-
I have what I thought was a standard bristlenose and I had not seen it out and about for around a month, I discovered it underneath a large rock and it did not appear to be alive..... I kept checking on it for a fortnight and then viola last night it was out and about in the tank and had grown absolutely massive - is this normal when they get a bit bigger??
-
I get some but it seems to go away on its own after a while - condensation??
-
I have just setup a CO2 system complete with a CO2 controller and are going to start planting out the tank, i know plants needs ferts to thrive as well, any suggestions on the better options, I want to stay clear of daltons aquatic mix as I hear it can make the water cloudy
-
I wonder if maybe its an internal parasite and best does with metro tablets but you need to get these from a vet
