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;...
The Michigan Cichlid Association will be holding our Fall auction SUNDAY October 8th at Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #112. The FOP lodge is located at 33845...
Hello im new and i have a few questions. I got 3 corys the other day, a bronze female, a panda female, and a peppered male. They are all young (an inch and...
Ryan, Your corycats should live together in a loose group. I do not believe you will get a hybrid from those 3 species. I have housed these 3 species together...
Thank you Robert. I will add two more pandas and 2 more bronze to the tank soon. What do you mean by loose group? The research i have done says a group of 3 to...
Thats a cute mix. Corys do grow quickly when they are young, but they should slow down a bit shortly until they reach adult size. Yours are all three going to...
so mine will breed if there is more plataeus or aeneus?? i know i spelled those wrong. Does that mean if i get a albino it will breed with one of mine??...
Corys are pretty timid fish in the wild, and even in a tank if they don't feel safe. They school pretty tightly in the wild as a safety measure, and will do so...
let say that 90% of the albino Corycats you will find in the local fish stores will be the albino of the Bronze Corycat ( C Aeneus ) The other 5% you will find...
