I dont know if your issue has anything to do with these but two reasons that water can become white and cloudy is micro bubbles from your filter, if the filter is splashing into the tank water, or if your intake lets less water though than the pump pushes out (like if the intake is a little...

0,0,10-20ppm nitrite Ive only had her 4 weeks, shes been living in the 15g quarantine tank with my comet goldfish. She was fine for weeks, though you could see her not react well to the water changes (hiding in the corner for a day). The symptoms come on after a water changes, I did another 2...

My paradise fish went from acting normal to lethargic to dead in 4-5 days, I though she was constipated, but the swelling didnt go away after fasting. Clamped fins, laying on the gravel, no pine-coning, no swelling in a specific location, just looked bloated), Water parameters are fine (though...

They live in 60-80° climates, 73-74 is optimal for colors to show, activity level, breeding

Last night pulled out my old 20 Long from the laundry room, set it up on its cabinet in the foyer, filled it with water. This morning I added DIY bottle filter an old HOB 50watt heater, slate chunks as substrate (was going to move my paradise fish in there...eventually). The hood is missing the...

I was supposed to get 1 Male 2 Females, The photos are labeled A,B,C. I think "A" is a male, the other 2 I cant tell. Maybe theyre all male?

Never asked if it was a cure all. wanted to know whats a quality one. If anyone else is looking for one and is getting trolled :p TMC makes quality UV sterilizers cable of level 3 sterilization and is under $200. There are others but cost more. Aqua UV MIGHT be as good for a little less $$...

Ive seen those aquastop HOB filer w/UV sterilizers online. What they have going to them is you can adjust the flow like any HOB. Ive ever seen one in person, its safe to assume its big, ugly, and loud even for all that Id consider it if the biggest bulb wasnt only 7 watts.

Its always good to learn something new, I highlighted the relevant part. A large number of aquatic diseases spend some part of their life cycle in the water. Ich being the most common. Sterilizing the water wont kill current infections but will slow if not stop the spread. A couple of cysts wont...

Im just looking for a recommendation for a quality UV sterilizer based on someone who owns one. Since Ive never heard of any brand that manufactures them. Thanks for all the replies, these arent conducive to what I asked, UV sterilizers can perform level 1,2,3 sterilization (low end ones dont...

No, hes better every day. Its just an insurance policy, I rather have it than not, My canister plumbing has lots of break points, an inline UV, and a reducer valve from a branching point can get me any flow I want, letting the rest of the output bypass the UV. AA doesnt sterilize, but I can...

Yeah I rather not have something with its own pump, but at <$70 the AA is great price for a 24watt UV

Which UV sterilizer to buy for sterilization of parasites (Ive grown fond of my fish, this for insurance of their health not to treat algae or any current disease outbreak) https://www.amazon.com/Aqua-watt-Advantage-2000-Sterilizer/dp/B003WRL6KG 24 watt version of the Green Killing Machine...

My wife cant tell the sickly one apart from the other 2 smaller loaches. Which wasnt true a few days ago and a very good sign. (Two have had a growth spirt, and are much larger than the other 3) Ive been doing 4 gallon water changes nightly partly for the sickly loach but also so the water...

the sickly loach (officially named Sneezy), was swiming around with his friends for a solid 2 hours before giving up for the day, very positive sign

Still pale, bumped the temps to 81. (I think") flashing less (maybe for 5 seconds every hour). He is rummaging for food with the other loaches for a little while after the lights go on in the morning. On a side note, either I have weird loaches, or the golden zebra loach is not nocturnal...

itd on the midle of a wall of slate. .And I dded winteria and 3 bolvian rams today,and liquiD co2 and liquid plant food,and a better heater. SO PREPARE FOR MORE QUESTIONS

Mini update, hes still pale, still lays still 95% of the time. Still not hanging out with the other loaches, even less interested in food, I feed them twice a day , hell eat in the morning for 5 seconds, then doesnt bother. (the other loaches eat the full time and rummage the gravel for crumbs...

Its asian water fern, bolbitis heteroclita. Some people on another site identified it

The roots are hard and rigid like wood, wrapped around themselves in a ball, i cant tell if that's a rhizome or not, but I cant untangle with doing a lot of damage
