Hi everyone. I have a bronze corydora that is has a side armour problem. I don't know what caused it. It looks like a scrape or possibly a fish burn? Maybe it...
Without seeing it, it is very hard to tell what it may be. It could be a burn, but corys are usually not shy enough to get behind a heater and hide that long....
Tri-County Tropical Fish Society Spring Auction Saturday April 8, 2006 11:00 am - 5:00 pm This event does not repeat. The next reminder for this event will be...
I lost a couple fish in my tank, the pet store says my PH is high and only suggested some drops to fix it. Does anyone know any other/better ways to lower my...
Yes, you can do more water changes. Of course, if the pH of the tap water is too high this won't help. You can also add rain water, collected from outside. You...
Thanks for the tips Mark. Peat? Like the peat moss they sell next to the potting soil? My tap water has the same pH as my tank so my water changes haven't...
yes, peat moss. you need to put it into an old nylon, or something like that, and put it into the filter. Beware; it will turn your water a tea-like colour....
Before you go playing around with your pH level (which can be very stressful to the fish if not done carefully), just what exactly is the pH of your tapwater? ...
According to my pH test kit, my tap water is 7.4. I don't know how to test conductivity. The tank has a Whisper filter and an undergravel filter on my 20...
Hi. #1, except for the neons, and the ghost shrimp, everything you have in your tank was probably bred and raised in hard high pH water, so I doubt pH is the...
A pH of 7.4 didn’t sound that high to me, but the pet stores insisted that my pH was too high. Maybe my pH kit is wrong? I should go ahead and invest in...
No 7.4 isn't too high, it ranges from that to 7.6 here and all my softwater fish do absolutely fine in it without the use of chemicals. Obviously the petshop...
I did a thorough cleaning and added conditioner that is supposed to help lower nitrates. I also bought a new testing kit and the nitrates now appear to be on ...
I found this little guy swimming in a tank labeled "Spotted Corys" at my local PetSmart. This is definately not the standard spotted cory that they sell. It...
Arrggghhh! ,___ Arrgghhh! My brain hurts. All my books are in storage. Lets see. Initial look says trilineatus, but they pattern is not strong and clear...
personally i think it is a very beat up trilineatus.. the fins look a little tattered on it and it could just be stressed as well, which causes the pattern to ...
This isn't a Julii. It is similar yes. Without being able to look in one of my many catfish books, I really can't tell you exactly what species it is though....
I've looked at a lot of corys today and i'm going to call him a trilineatus. He is very scared and stressed out, that's probably why his lines are so faded....
Just got this in from Jerry at CAFE.... Hello Fellow Hobbyists, It almost that time of year again. Below is the info for the Champaign Area Fish Exchange...
In the event that it does get a fungal infection, or if you want to be prophylactic, I would invest in some methylene blue. It is available from the pharmacy;...
