    This guy has mouth stuck open and swollen, Breathing heavily. Any clue as to what can be done? :(

    What’s the status of your fish with mouth stuck open? I see that no one offered info on humane euthanasia, at least I didn’t see that if they did. I think there’s info on humane euthanasia on this site, maybe on this thread category. It’s been a while since I’ve been on this forum, but I have...

    Monster Energy Drinks vs. Monster Fish Keepers...spread the word!

    I signed the petition and respectfully posted my reasons for signing; this is a ridiculous situation and I'm so sorry that Monster Energy is pursuing this course. Aquaria Central is great community of people and a wonderful source of information, support and help for fish keepers, both new...

    Swollen tummy of red gourami

    Try to post a photo of your fish for members to check out. It could be just bloated from constipation, or bloated from intestinal parasites or internal bacterial infection, or it could be dropsy (which is an end result of an illness that damages the kidneys and/or liver), though dropsy is an...

    Got "ghost shrimp" from lps that I dont think are ghost shrimp. dwarf puffer safe?

    Honestly, I would get them out of there ASAP! They will attack your little puffer while he's sleeping and do considerable damage, and likely kill him. I had a Macrobrachium rosenbergii that I caught in the act of trying to kill an Otocinclus. I rescued the fish just in time, but he had...

    WTB WTB: Boraris brigittae (Mosquito Rasbora)

    Msjinkzd has B. brigittae in stock, last time I looked. Go to the Vendor forum and look under Invertebrates by Msjinkzd. I purchased 60 of the little guys from her, and they are gorgeous and healthy. I've had mine for over a year, now. I think the thread will be "Stock List" or something...

    Everyone Okay?

    Thanks for your concern and good wishes, FF. Some of this was VERY close to me, but thankfully my neighborhood didn't get any damage. I don't know other AC members that live in this area except for Dr. Awkward. I don't really know her other than from this forum, but I do know that she is...

    Ich, what should I expect?

    Linda, sorry that some of the words run together in my post. I typed the dang thing in Word and copied and pasted here in your thread, and that's the way it came out. I tried to edit it to fix that, but it didn't work.

    Ich, what should I expect?

    Linda, I, personally, would do water changes during the treatment, andyou only add salt for the water removed and replaced. Say if you have a 10 gallon and remove 5gallons, you would put 15 teaspoons in the replacement water. This way you keepyour saline concentration at .03%, which is 3...

    Ich, what should I expect?

    Hi Linda, thanks. :) I'm sorry I didn't get to redo my post, but I had to leave right away and I'm just now able to come back online. I'm gonna retype my post. I wanted to address all your questions. I had a case of Ich and it was a heat resistant strain that was a bugger to get rid of. I...

    Ich, what should I expect?

    I just typed a lengthy response to this and I got a message "aquariacentral is not responding" (something like that ) and then I copied and pasted my post so I wouldn't lose all of it when I had to close the website and log back on. When I closed the program, opened it up again, and tried to...
