Hi All, Finally an unfortunate update. I believe he had dropsy. Early this week, he started exhibiting what looked like dropsy. His scales were very raised and he looked worse than ever. Within two days he died. I could have missed the raised scales before - now that I think about it...

I should update. So far no change still. I did try a second round of Gen Cure and EM, with no change. So, I will just keep an eye out for any additional symptoms of anything beyond old age. I should say I am grateful for the timing, in 2 months I will be tearing down the tank as my wife...

Hi All, Thank you for the recommendations. I have completed the treatment cycle for both the General Cure and the Erythromycin. The Eryth cleared up the tank really well of the BGA I had, but did nothing for my Betta. Any other ideas? He does eat, however has stopped coming up for food, I...

Thanks, I'm not using charcoal (using the extra space for more bio media). Will keep y'all updated. Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk

Hi All, I tested again and Ammonia and Nitrite are at 0, and 0-5ppm of Nitrate. So I went ahead and got some General Cure and Eryth. I went ahead and dosed both the proper amount this morning for a first dose, and will Continue dosing and doing water changes as reccomended. What do I need...

Hi All, just a quick update. Purchased two Siamese Algae Eaters, and they murdered the hair algae in a few weeks along with my weekly cleanings. Would highly recommend those guys, and they are an interesting fish as well - not just a boring tank cleaner!

Hey All, Looking for some tips and advise. My male betta has developed white spots on both eyes (one spot on each eye). I noticed this about a week ago, and decided to see what would happen over a couple days. I had to go out of town for a few days, and when I came back there was no change to...

That is a great article, thanks! Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk

Hey all, I have a 20g Long planted tank that has some hair algae. By some, I mean if I don't manually remove weekly, it gets out of hand, very quickly. I recently did a major plucking and scrubbing - but I dont want to be spending 5 hours every Saturday just because of algae. Can someone look...

It's pretty fine - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GD0GZ8Q/?tag=wafishbox-20

Hey All, Currently am running a AC20 and a 20-Gallon Rated Sponge filter (cheap one off amazon) on my 20-Long Planted Tank. I have 1x Betta, 8x Neon Tetras, 3x Ottos, 1x Scarlet Badis, and 1x Red Flame Badis. I'm not sure if it is just not being used to finer substrate (using a coarser sand...

I do have a coupon for a sample of that stuff - I will be sure to try it.

I'll be picking up some live food this week. One will eat frozen bbs but the other doesn't bother, and they both pick at stuff all day which looks like they are eating..... But want to supplement to be sure. I'll be trying some blackworms and possibly rotifers (this is what my LFS carries)...

With an increase in traffic, what is normally a 15 minute drive to "The Wet Spot" in Portland, OR, is now a half-day trip. A quick trip to get an item or look around in the evening is not really an option these days. Does anyone know of any Southern-Washington reputable stores (or anything...

Thought the same thing - Based on the dimensions in the CL post(12.5 x 24 x 48) It sounds like a 60-65-ish. True, but I think negotiations with the wife would result in less than max capacity anyway unless we end up with a separate garage, unfinished basement, barn, etc where I could go crazy...
