    Urgent: Hyperventilating Kuhlis

    Already rigged it up lol. Probably better this way b/c removing the shrimp is going to be impossible without also removing all of the plants (semi-densely planted). So I guess the question is...loaches in the 6 gallon without a filter or in the main tank with the filter?

    Urgent: Hyperventilating Kuhlis

    yes I wasn't planning on that happening. gf bought the fish without asking me and Eheim told me the replacement piece would arrive by today

    Urgent: Hyperventilating Kuhlis

    I'll figure something out to interrupt the output. The question is...should I put the kuhlis back in the tank or not? I have a 6 gallon that I could move all the fish to and put a filter on that. Or I could leave the kuhlis in that 6 gallon without a filter. Or I could everyone back into the...

    Urgent: Hyperventilating Kuhlis

    yes. To the point where you can't see more than an inch into the tank (looks like muddy swamp water). And stirring it up is only going to increase the amount of ammonia released, I'm guessing (aquasoil is notorious for causing ammonia spikes, which again would be fine if it weren't for the fact...

    Urgent: Hyperventilating Kuhlis

    I have a HOB filter, but (a) it's not cycled and (b) I had to get the eheim b/c the HOB wasn't getting along with the aquasoil, so I am extremely hesitant to put it back on the tank. There isn't much else in the tank. A couple of neon tetras and a bunch of shrimp, neither of which look...

    Urgent: Hyperventilating Kuhlis

    Would it do any good to put the filter media that is in my filter (b/c I do have a cycled filter) into the tank? There is circulation in the tank (not as much as usual but still). I found a second powerhead with an airhose so now that's in there too

    Urgent: Hyperventilating Kuhlis

    I don't know if it's the lack of circulation or the ammonia or if it's something else. I'm pissed at Eheim b/c I have to go away this weekend and it's very unlikely the piece will arrive tomorrow. Do I leave the 3 kuhlis in what's basically a bucket of water? Put them back into the tank? Do I...

    Urgent: Hyperventilating Kuhlis

    I've check the tap before and I don't remember it having any. Part of the issue is that my substrate is aquasoil, and I just had to add some more in there when I rescaped (it wasn't a lot, and wouldn't have been an issue had my filter not broken) I have a powerhead in there right now, but I...

    Urgent: Hyperventilating Kuhlis

    I'm at a loss in terms of what I can do. Currently my 15 gallon does not have a real filter running on it. I'm waiting on a part from Eheim (which was supposed to be here today but wasn't shipped until this morning...don't get me started about that). Two days ago I got 2 kuhli loaches for my...

    Feeding Kuhli's

    Should I worry about the food getting lost in the substrate though? These pellets are actually smaller than the aquasoil "pellets"

    Feeding Kuhli's

    I finally found some of these little guys! :naughty: Just wondering what you all do in terms of feeding (ie. what do feed them / how do you feed the?) I tried tossing some algae wafers in there last night and they didn't seem interested in them. I'm going to pick up some sinking pellets...

    CO2 Levels and a Broken Filter

    It's probably a combination a few things. I just did a large rescape, and I'm guessing a lot of the plants haven't adjusted yet (so they're not using as much nutrients / CO2 as they could be). The fish looks alright now, so I at least caught it in time.

    CO2 Levels and a Broken Filter

    Well it's off for the night. I diffuse the CO2 in the tank via a powerhead, so I angled the outflow of that towards the surface to try and get some more air exchange. I also did a 50% water change. Hopefully that'll help :huh: Unfortunately I don't have an airstone to toss in there. The...

    CO2 Levels and a Broken Filter

    So my filter is out of commission for a few days until I get the a new motor head cover (nozzle on Eheim broke off). I'm worried that the CO2 levels in my tank are higher than usual because of this (pressurized CO2 system). I think I'm seeing gasping in the fish that I never see (I think that's...

    The contact button on the website for Frank's Aquarium isn't working, and I'd like to get in touch with him about some kuhli loaches. Anyone know what his email address is? Thanks :D

    Recharging Purigen

    I've heard nothing but rave reviews about the stuff. To be honest, I don't know exactly what it was doing. I got it to help with some water clarity/quality issues I was having a while back, but I charged several things at once so I can't say that if it helped immensely, just a little bit, or at...
