Did you see they also use it as substrate in some of the bigger tanks, good idea for fish that prefers harder water, I don't like the look though....
You can add some equilibrium to get your Gh to where they like it with your next few water changes also, snails can calcify rather quickly.
Take out the carbon yes, we use it to take out meds and impurities. Running it in a recirculating fashion will pull necessary minerals out of the...
Go pick up white mussel shells, you crush them and put inside your filter. If you are running a canister add about half a basket full and work...
It's not only the driftwood, it is our water out of the tap, in winter its even softer. I have explained how to correct this many many times.
I recommend no higher than 29c if not doing heat/metro treatment for flagellates.
Give them time to settle in, it can take a while. Also don't light up the tank brightly, do that later when they are settled.
All fish carry them and when they are stressed it overwhelms them. So it looks quick when they start dying by you but they have had time in...
You would have found a tapeworm if there was any, they are very big. Couldn't see in the vid what it was, that's why I asked you to make sure...
I just want to add. I have found tapeworm in fish in the past while helping people which could not ID if it was feces or worms. We went to the...
Unfortunately one has to open the fish up sometimes after death to make sure that you're not dealing with something that can be detrimental for...
After seeing this I don't think your problem is water related. Can't see properly in the vid but one of two things, Hexamita or a worm, can't see...
Yes, it will be a very bad and irresponsible way of husbandry which cannot be condoned.
You can add more shells or coral to the filter or even your tank, it takes a few tries to get it to do what you want. I prefer shells over coral,...
Are you using sponge filters or a lot of batting in a sump?
True that.
Another thing that always makes me wonder, these dechlorinators we use that claim that it "locks up" ammonia for x amount of hours. What happens...
@A new day its always so hard troubleshooting things "blind", challenging to say the least.
@Zuraki Looks like we can safely rule out chloramines, thats good. Shame that stuff makes them die such a horrible death. @Craigils keep an eye...
Just some advice that I think will be beneficial. Don't try and get your pH down with our water here, we battle more to keep it stable as it tends...
