One of my favorite pictures I've taken..

Yeah when I removed the "jelly ball" that she finally passed I could see some dead worms in there. she's doing much better. I'll probably retreat 3 weeks after the first dose to kill off any surviving eggs that hatch. I see a ton of them in another tank (bare bottom so it's really easy to see...

An update: Yesterday I was getting concerned and considered euthanizing. The white jelly-like mass grew in size to the size of a pea, and thought I may be too late. However, although she was hiding, her fins were not clamped so I decided to let her be through the night. This morning the mass...

Hi, my platy seems to have a white gel-like mass (not red or inflammed) sticking out of its anus. Other tank mates include two small juvenile angelfish. I had been treating the tank once a week for the past two weeks with prazipro, as the angelfish were not eating. Now they are eating. The...

If it is gills flukes, which is what I suspect, I would try a anti-parasite medication that contains praziquantel. Also vacuum the gravel twice to get rid of any parasites that are still in the early stages of their development before adding the medication. Make sure carbon or other chemical...

Tried taking some pics, but still not as good as looking at it in person.

Hello, I have 9 Buenos Aires Tetras that I have had for the last 4 years. About a year ago I noticed one or two of them with what looks like columnaris. White cottony growth on the mouth. Over the last year I have on several occasions treated them with Marycn I and II together, and even have...

Thank you so much dudley! I removed the knob, made some adjustments and now it runs cold when set to cold, and hot when set to hot. You made my day!

Also, if the sillcock valve is causing back pressure perhaps causing more hot water and less cold water to come from the shower knob, would the following adapter be a better choice...

I read online that damage generally occurs at 95 degrees F and up. I can't really tell what the temp is by the time it gets to the membrane, but I imagine it around 95. Maybe I will try attaching a hose to the sillcock and coil about 20 feet of it inside a bucket, then attach the hose to the...

Hi, I'm having a strange issue regarding my new setup for my RO unit. We have a spare shower that does not get used, so I decided to install my RO unit in the shower so I didn't have to constantly connect/disconnect it from my bathroom sink. Here is what I did. I removed the shower head, and...

I checked the waste water of my unit and it is only ~220ppm which I wouldn't think would be to hard for another RO unit... or is it a water pressure issue? Thanks!

I have a RO/DI unit and I read something online when I was reading a review for a membrane on Amazon. Apparently this person routes the waste water line of one RO unit to another RO unit to double the amount of DI water production with less waste water. Has anybody tried this before?

Also forgot to mention, I have 30+ now about nickel sized, and many more that are on their second day of the free swimming stage (not for sale yet)

I have some angelfish for sale, they are getting close to nickel sized. For the most part they are yellow with black stripes and/or spots. I probably won't be able to give them out for a few more weeks because I am moving and I want to acclimate them to Chicago water since I have been using an...

Hi, I am going to be changing bulbs on my Angelfish tank, and was wondering what type of bulb (6500K, 10,000K, etc..) would bring out the colors of my angelfish the most. The tank is not planted, but has a lot of malaysian driftwood in it. I have a gold angel, marble angel, and a blue...

Sorry I forgot to get back to you all on the subject. My pleco ended up scarfing down the eggs shortly after i posted this thread. My breeding pair now seem to just hang out and hide under some driftwood that I have. is this normal after such an event? They do come out to eat, so I am not...

So I just got home and my female koi angel is much thinner and the male is fertilizing them now as I type this. The eggs are deposited on the filter intake tube, so I turned of the filter (just until he finishes fertilizing) as not to suck up all the sperm. I find this interesting because I've...

I purchased a 90 gallon tank and stand from PetCo 2 and a half months ago and suddently it made a creaking noise and water started gushing out from the frame in one of the lower corners. I was able to rescue my fish, but PetCo will not replace it (despite the lifetime warranty) and they told me...

A few things to consider if you decide to use muriatic acid... 1) Wear gloves when handling it because it is very very strong, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to have some baking soda handy in case you should get any on yourself. 2)When you dilute a strong acid with water, heat is produced, so...
