Well, for the record, I keep shrimp with guppies and Endler's, and I can't guarantee they never eat a shrimp, but I've never seen it happen; and I know the shrimp can move fast when they need to (unlike baby snails.)

Keeps the shelf dry, because particle board will absorb water, swell and weaken. I have a tank on metal shelves with MDF decks, and I DIDN'T cover them, and I wish I had, because now I worry... EDIT: Hey Swayer, you posted this twice!

If it looks like a reputable manufacturer, and your own judgement tells you they look sturdy enough, including the wheels, then I would say yes. 350 lbs is a couple of people, isn't it? Per shelf? How 'bout you test the shelves out with a couple of friends! (I think the board is definitely a...

Yes, khulis should ignore shrimp. Probably guppies, Endler's, dwarf rasboras.

I thought a pictus was a catfish, shows what I know. Very cute gecko! And a cool home for her.

I wouldn't like that - I can't go with someone watching!

Hiya, welcome.

:welcome:Hey yourself! Welcome to the forum.

Okay, weird growth fans (you know who you are): Just found this in one of my tanks, inside a concrete block, which normally doesn't get any light. Hopefully nothing to worry about. Maybe a fungus? (The white thing is a cuttlebone.)

My goldfish can do that.

I'm sorry to hear about your kuhli, and I hope the other loaches are okay. Keep testing for an ammonia spike, since what pinkerts says is worth considering. I'm not sure I'd make the same call as pinkertd - that the shock of the big water change was the problem - although it is possible. But...

Maybe Poo Dragon (:rofl:) is a bit shy, and that's why he was hiding; but he still needs to come to the surface. Some floating plants might help him feel more comfortble.

Hello, welcome to the forum.

Thanks, tanker.

Thanks for the info about Calvus. You've got a few weeks' grace, and the plants will help the shrimp. I'm sure the Calvus are fast, but the shrimp can 'jump' fast too when they need to, so I reckon you can get a colony going I've read that females may display a new 'saddle' when the eggs are...

Well, I want to keep this thread live in hope that someone expert will have a look. It certainly doesn't look like ich to me, and I don't remember seeing photos of anything like it either. In answer to your question, (Wouldn't all the fish be affected?) if there is a problem with water quality...

My brain's not working now, but let's see how you go...

Thanks Dudley, you rock. I'm in Australia, btw. I had a look at that link, but I couldn'treally follow what parts of the motor was being referred to.

Don't want to hijack the thread - I think this is on-topic. This is some sort of sword I bought six weeks ago. Its been growing about a leaf a week. The leaf on the left with holes is new growth; the ragged one on the right is original (the plant was a bit battered when I got it). I have also...

Gee, I really hope someone can help - your poor kuhli! I don't recognise what might be wrong with it from the photos, unfortunately. It would be better to get an ID before you start trying to treat it. The only thing that occurs to me, if only loaches are being affected, is some disease that...
