Curious if you checked the other inhabitants in that tank's gills? :shock: sorry about your loss I have watched the inhabitants closely and no one in the tank is breathing hard, but I have not yet removed them to inspect their gills. I will do this in the next few days. I will get photos of their ...

Guys I have a hard time with the ammonia theory. I have never gotten a reading above zero on ammonia. (except when cycling 2 years ago) Even when I first started this thread it was suggested to take a water sample to LFS to double check, and the test results were the same as mine on Ammonia, Nitrite ...

TSN died. 07-04-09 Can someone identify the problem with the gill material. I never seen this till I was inspecting the dead body. I am sure this is the cause of death. 50% of the gill material is eaten away and black. http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z294/THE_ONE_RF/TSNDIED07-04-09001.jpg http ...

I got 5 two inch goldfish today for the TSN. He is looking better and more active but has not eaten yet. I think you guys were right about the Asain RTC harrassing the TSN. I got the No3 down to 5. I'm gonna give the TSN till sat morning and if he has not eaten yet I am going to force feed him. I am ...

TSN still has not eaten. I got the Asain RTC out and into his own tank yesterday. I have been changing 50% water daily and can get the No3 down to 10 after a water change. I will go buy a couple of 2" goldfish later today and try that. Guys, let me ask this. Look again at the pic of my TSN in post ...

Your unknown catfish is Hemibagrus wyckioides . Thank you. Your unknown catfish is Hemibagrus wyckioides . That was my initial instinct - not a fish to mix with anything (and I mean anything!) This is one fish that should not (not always, but in nearly all cases) be kept with any other fish. The ...

Ok, I took water sample to LFS today and results are the same as my test kit. I typically get a reading of 40 before the water change and 20 after the water change. My tap water is 0 nitrate. The LFS guy recomended dosing with prime daily till the nitrate is down. I told him I dose with prime at ...

I'll take a sample to my lfs in the morning and get a NEW test.
Could that be why he won't eat?
Wouldn't a 50% water change every sunday be sufficient even if my test kit shows lower than is?

I hope someone here can help. I have a TSN that got bumps on him a week ago. They look like warts to me, they dont discolor the skin, they just raised it. They are only located in front of his dorsal fin and by his mouth on both sides. A few nights ago he scratched them off on some rocks. I raised ...
