Hi Everyone, I've been so crazy busy... like the rest of the world. I hope and wish you all the best. Just a quick note to say Nui is doing well. So is Li'i. I believe the decision to treat with the Jungle Parasite Clear was a good one owing to the fact that symptoms of parasites, though limited ...

Happy Sunday World! We put the sand in last night. Decided to try the bottle in the tank method as it said it would remove at least 95% of the powder. Not knowing the actual amount it contains I can't say if it did. The water was pretty cloudy and hadn't cleared up this a.m. But I had to do a water ...

Thanks You Guys,

I'm thinking I need to put the rinsed sand in a zip lock maybe and then put it to the bottom of the tank and let it out. Is there a better way though? I haven't seen that part on Youtube yet, I can check it out later tonight maybe.

Thanks again,

GF

Hi All.... We've got (((((sand)))))!!! Finally right. I know that everything I've done has taken time. I apologize for any frustrations. I've watched a couple vd's on "youtube" to learn how to clean the sand before adding it to the tank. The first one I saw was a guy using a bucket with sand and the ...

I found a long white worm in Nui's digestive waste. Do you think this is a good sign now that we've begun the Parasite Clear treatment? I won't post the photo unless someone requests a look at it. I wasn't able to capture the entire thing as it was wrapped up in the green matter. But a good bit of ...

Hi Again, Last I spoke of substrate I was looking for a nice smooth little pebbled substrate. But finding that isn't easy and at the store here it would be very expensive. I then recalled a beach I go to had a little cave/tube where the high tide washes the best tiny pebbles. Erik (PC member) lives ...

Blessed Sunday/Monday Everyone.... In my effort to shorten my posts now that the crisis is basically over... I'm posting by topic point or issue. FYI's... with questions when I need some help The Jungle Lab's Parasite Clear came in Friday and I administered a conservative dose last evening... Not ...

Ah, I see. the "8 from 50 messages stored" threw me. Not paying close enough attention to punctuation and operative word "from". My bad.

Thank you Rick for trying to help me out & btw I your avatar is adorable!

And as always endless thanks to you Mats.
GF

Yes Mats that's how I'm interpreting it. Am I mistaken? TY,gf

The only critter you mentioned that could be harmful is the brown thing with many small legs. Is it a worm shape, a bug shape or something else? Take a pic and get rid of it. Hi Natural, I apologize for the delay here. I hadn't forgotten about your question – only now able to come back to it.. ...

Hi Guys, I wanted to let you know I just did it again. I don't know/think I did this the last time but there is the possibility. The lower scrollbar came up as I used the mouse to highlite a sentence and went beyond the box with mouse still activated. The box will slide on forever it seemed ...

:greetings-waveyellow: Hi! This may be a little off topic but I think it is relative to the thread. In my PM area there are 8 messages. However, in the top area of the page I see this: Folder is 16% full (8 from 50 messages stored) Does this refer to my inbox? If so, I'm unable to access them ...

Hi All, Nui is doing alright as far as I can see. I have not seen anything moving below in or around the anal vent. However I did find a in his waste and have a photo of one. When I hold back food his feces is long and transparent. Question: is a common event given the circumstance? I ask as I've ...

I hadn't even noticed that slide bar. It would likely have fixed it. gadz However, as you can see at right margin, all words are whole. There are no long texted pieces. Jools, I think Safari responds in like w/ IE in regards a long piece of data. I don't normally see the slide bars ergo... no ...

Hi Jools and Mats, Sorry for the delay. I hadn't realized I hadn't uploaded the screen shot. Here it is below. Regard replication??? I actually tried to figure out what I had done but couldn't. It reminded me of photoshop so first reaction I tried to grab it and drag it back. Duh. I know that I hit ...

I was keying in and the text box slid sideways while entering a post. I couldn't bring it back into alignment. I tried grabbing it to drag it back, nope. I've uploaded a screen shot, can't see the text to the left. Not sure what I did wrong? Finally I hit restore but lost wha data I hadn't previewed ...

Not sure where to start. Feeding less is probably a good point. Then if you believe you have internal worms, then there are medications that will deal with that (and kill any worms living outside your fish). But the trouble is to make them STAY away, and that is were feeding comes in. I think ...

What is that cord/worm looking thing across the opening on his belly?[ Anterior means towards the head. Posterior means toward the tail. The cord/worm looking thing is what some call the oviduct, which is prominent on males and flat and smooth on female synos. the disc or vent or poop hole sits ...

The anterior disc I believe is the poop hole. If you saw something like a worm moving under the skin in that area, I would be concerned about that. If its just like a crease or fold in the skin (that doesn't move), I wouldn't worry about it. I mentioned before that I stopped keeping S. eupterus a ...

Hello, My problem is I write too long of posts... (I'm working on shortening them up tho'). But in the mean time I've learned a couple tricks doing so. One is that you can use preview like a save... hit preview every now and then, you won't lose your work and you can always edit. The other, to ...

Hello Planet Members & Others surfing our tides... , After several hours and a bit of research I finally came to a page with all the photos of male catfish genitalia you could want to source. Well, that's stretching it but it is impressive to say the least. I've listed the thread I found it in and ...

Nui-g_01.jpg There is a round orifice and across a part of it is something that looks like it is either a cord of flesh, a fold of the same or a worm. Which is it? What is it? You all must know being so familiar with this part of their anatomy. I can only imagine what it could be... That it shows ...

Happy Friday Planet Catfish, Well, after much reading and searching through our archives here I am much eased. The worms I'm seeing to the degree I've had them are due to the filter being overloaded with food waste. That due to the intake tube almost sitting on the floor of the thank. The person I ...

Hello the evening... I wanted to let you know that Nui ate... 7 sinking catfish pellets (the little ones). :-BD I have these other sinking pellets a seller sent me in their stead at first called "massivore". They're giant... but I think the same stuff. He wouldn't touch it. I'm wanting to know from ...

Happy Thursday All. Well, Nui's appetite has dwindled. He doesn't have one. Didn't want to eat last night. I tried even though I need to not feed right now because I was worried... I thought I had noticed it tapering off so wanted to confirm. He wouldn't eat even bloodworms. He'd probably eat frozen ...

Hi.. The same here but I get question mark on a blank image where photos should be.... Have tried repeatedly.

Thanks,
GF

look forward to more pics. googolplexi Hello after a long long day... phew, I've some photos for you Natural. Hope Nui is a boy for real. I'd like you to take a look at the largest image. That was a close as I could get. The little nub area above the pointed area...? ... there's like a swiggly ...

Hi Matts, Thank you for the response and advice. I'll be able to get the other filter back on the tank either tonight or tomorrow morning. I have it apart and the parts have been salted. I need to make sure their rinsed well and am afraid rushing it I'll make an error some place. Also, I have ...
