Hi,
You will be in NY city?
I do not know LFS in NY city itself, but I wanted to go there : http://www.nyaquarium.com/ That is planned for next time.

Still in NY state, I have seen a few there : http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=25394&p=149423&hilit=albany#p149423

Hi,

Thank for your answer. Plainfield is a bit to far (about 3,5 hour drive one way) to see just one shop which may be closed. It is true I had not precised how much I am willing to drive, so about 1,5H maximum drive (one way) around Albany is fine.

I have found a few other shops. I did visit 2 ...

Hi,

I was sent to the US for my job, and I am currently in the Albany, NY area. As I am stuck for the week end, I was wondering if there were good fish place to see.

I have seen today :
Benson's Pet Center in Wolf Road, Colonie. Not a lot of fish in the tanks, but some beautiful Gourami.

Hi,

So, I had the opportunity to go to maidenhead aquatics yesterday as it was really close to parbold. I was already impressed as it is really clean and already a good size! It is basically bigger than what i use to see in France, and closer in size and quality of what I have seen in Germany.
The ...

Hi,

Hi All,

Tomorrow I will drive to UK, to spend some time in my family in law.
I will be located in Parbold, closed to Wigan, and I expect to see some "fishy" places of interest!

As far I understood, there are Pier Aquatics in Wigan and Britains Aquatic Superstore Ltd in Bolton.

Are there any ...

Hi,

To be honest they all looks like males to me.

See you soon,
Matien

Hi,

With no problem in the tank, and no change in landscape, mine were able to perform around every 3 weeks.

Hi,

I am not one expert, but I would say it is a male.
For me a female would be larger at the pectoral fins level.

Let's see what the expert think about it.

About feeding, these fishes eat mainly wood. you can complement with spirulina tablets et sometimes to times with courgette (zucchini)

Spawn started in a tank with a good ...

Hi

At least it seems they are not starving... I think you can reduce a bit the quantity of food you give them

See you,
Matien

Hi,

I have no magic solution to propose. Just try to increase seriously the volume of disolved oxgen in your tank, that will help her to fight the deasise.

Do you know if she is injured under the white coton? if so, you can desinfect with bétadine (povidone-iodine) and apply some vaseline to cover ...

Hi,
I would say they are , but this need to be confirmed by specialist.

Hi,
I run a 8500 lph pump (Tunze Turbelle Stream Pump 6080) on top of the filtration (eheim 2128) in a ca. 180l tank dedicated to L128 (they are 4) and even if you see there is some water movement, it does not seems to bother the fishes... It is not as impressive as I thougth it would be. Size of ...

Hi,
Let see in a few weeks. Usually when they start, if there are no major changes in the maintenance, you will have a lot of new babies every 3 weeks...
See you,
Matien

Hi Carp37,
I hope you and your fishes will be fine. You are doing the right thing by changing water and removing the remaining courgette.

In the future, instead of several slices, just put a bigger portion : even if your male will chase the others at the beginning, he will let the courgette once he ...

Salut,

Pour ma part, mise en quarantaine sans traitement. Beaucoup d'observation pour voir comment les poissons évoluent. Si symptômes anormaux alors recherche d'un traitement adapté, mais pour l'instant, je n'ai eu qu'une fois des argulus (et là le traitement est plus mécanique qu'autre chose s ...

Hi,

About the raw potato, it need to be removed before it trouble the water (about 24-36hrs)

Hi,

I agree with Birger, that is not uncommon.

Your baby BN needs hidding place where it can be/feel safe. It can be plants, stones or roots.

You can put it back in the tank, and try to improve your layout to make it feel safer.

By the way, how big is the baby?

See you,
Matien
