Boo Hoo! :sad: Guess those Oilers flags are going to be on sale really cheap tomorrow.

2/10 for the itty bitty fishy

3/10 'cause it's too small to see what the picture is.

Don't be so quick to make that call...the next games are at home...we may see it turn around yet. Though, with the loss of Roloson they'll have their work cut out for them.

Peek Freans Burbon Creme are the best...actually any Peek Freans cookies. :)

Ewww! :sick:

But not the safest. I wasn't aware, until recently, that aquariums can harbor salmonella. A recent article from Practical Fishkeeping And an advisory from 2000 on the problem: Outbreak of Salmonella Paratyphi B Linked Aquariums in the Province of Quebec, 2000

A healthy platy would not have problems with getting stuck to the filter intake. I would suspect injury or illness. Keep an eye on your other fish for signs of illness.

I always stumble on the spelling, and didn't have time to check it out earlier. But it seems it is the correct spelling :D, and I found out the other med recommended: levamisole. I don't think it's likely camallanus either, but it's good to note that praziquantel is not effective against all...

Try Hikari PraziPro (mixed with frozen food) or a medicated food with praziquantel and metronidazole. If you think you may be dealing with camallanus, then Praziquantel won't be effective...you'd want to go with a med like panacur (again mixed with food) and metro.

It's entirely possible that the filter did the trick. If you're still not 100% sure, though, it doesn't hurt to wait a little longer...better safe than sorry when introducing some new fish! :)

I've seen poops like that with my platies. I don't know that it's normal though. I haven't seen them poop like that since before they were treated for internal parasites.

What about creating a platform to place directly between the tank and the furniture? You could simply use MDF cut to size and painted with melamine (in a colour to match the trim on your tank).

I'd be surprised if the male helped with the female dropping fry, except to eat them. If anything, the male would probably be attracted to the hormones from the female during birth, and would be trying to mate (they try to do that all the time anyway!) However, the female will likely not let the...

I think Taylor has to go (I'm not a fan of his style.) I bet it will be Paris though.

You're still better off not moving the fry. And vacuuming is a good idea to remove debris.

Why are you taking the fry out to clean the tank?

Wow, that's pretty darned paranoid! :rolleyes:

You sound like a wonderful partner to your wife! ;) I know it's a really tough thing to kick. And it's so important for the person to be ready to do the work, and they need such strong support from family. I find it hard watching my parents go through it. The really tough thing is that...

So, has it been solved? Any more clues?
