Re: Good camera to photograph by fish.

It's been a couple of years since this post. Any newer cameras that can take great photos on a limited budget?

Re: Ich present in quarantine tank, how would you treat?

Which single treatment would be most stressful for the loaches? - Raising temperature to 86-87F - Raising salinity to 3 TBSP per 5 Gallons - Using Quick Cure at half-dose (treatment recommended for sensitive fish and should be enough to eradicate Ich) I normally keep this tank at room temperature ...

Re: Ich present in quarantine tank, how would you treat?

I've been following Dr.Pleco's protocol for ich which is 86F, 3TBSP of salt per 5 gallons, and instead of Rid Ich + which is no longer sold in stores here I've used Quick Cure according to the instructions. So far so good, haven't lost any fish and all are eating more voraciously than before due to ...

Ich present in quarantine tank, how would you treat?

I actually haven't had to deal with ich for years, the last time I had it I removed the fish to a quarantine tank to treat with Rich Ich and cranked the heat up in the display tank to 90 with no fish for a couple of weeks. This time I acquired some fish from different sources and placed them all in ...

Re: Good camera to photograph by fish.

I have a budget of $500, though something in the $300 range would be much easier to stomach. I'll probably get a used one off of Ebay to make my money go twice as far. I would prefer something I could take macro shots with as I too have some tiny fish I would like to take detailed pictures of.

Good camera to photograph by fish.

Have some stunning fish that I would like to photograph and post online. Was wondering if anybody had recently purchased a digital camera and what they thought of it. I'm hoping for something not too expensive but that you can still get some good shots with, I have also picked up a book on digital ...

Anyone seen wild Corydoras paleatus?

Been looking for these for a while but the fish store I get most of my fish from and who's been pretty good at finding me what I want in the past hasn't been able to locate any for a while now.

Re: Where to find Wild Corydoras Paleatus?

C. paleatus are easy to find here but the wild fish blow the commercial strains out of the water in appearance. Hopefully a few more experienced keepers will chime in, I've lurked for a while but just recently joined partly because I want some help finding wild or tank raised wild strain.
