I'm afraid I can't help other than bump for visibility. Best of luck :/ EDIT: I did a little research and I think what's going on is your ZigZag is growing spines. My peacock eels have several short spines far down their bodies and what tipped me off about your post is how centered the spine is...

Hey all, I noticed that one of my two axolotls has these white fleshy bumps on his belly and bottom side of his tail. Tank is 20gl, very low nitrates, neutral ph, temp hovers between 66-72 degrees F depending on the trend of the weather. I utilize a sponge filter and HOB filter. Tank is...

Good news. The fish spit it out while I was trying to net him. Crisis averted.

Ok. I'll give it a shot. Thanks Cory.

At times it looks like he is trying to chew it but it doesn't really like he's making progress. Do you have any advice on a good way to remove it?

Hey all, Apparently while I was away at work today my big bamboo shrimp passed away and the fish started going after the body. I figured the extra nutrients couldn't hurt so I left it in for them to eat. Then my Jurupari got a hold of what was left and has been sucking on it for several hours...

I tend to use the portal page frequently since I like to see "current events." I know it's not that much effort (like 2 mouse clicks) to get to the OP but if there is a preference I can select where I can be directed to the OP from the portal page I would love to know about it.

It seems like every time I click a link to a post I get directed to the most recent reply. Is there a setting where I instead am directed to the original post?

Too much flooding going around recently. Really sorry about your situation. Baking soda on the carpets will help immensely with the smell. I hope everyone survives the move. If any of your inhabitants need temporary housing let us know.

I was just at aquarium co-op last night looking at his siamese algae eaters, I think he has them listed at ~$4-5. Check out his left center planted tank to see a full grown SAE so you're aware of how large they get.

You know, this sounds like a good chance for all you fish shop owners to get together and create your own insurance that you all buy into.

uh-oh. So you're going to be getting your degree in chemistry now? edit: They are pretty freaking awesome looking though, I'll give you that.

Were all your shrimp bought at the same time? You could have just gotten a bad batch...

I'm no shrimp expert but maybe their isn't enough calcium available for them, especially since they'd be competing with the snails for it.

Our hearts go out to you! I'm so sorry this happened to you and I know we are not the best equipped to help in a situation such as this but please don't hesitate to ask, even if its holding a hair dryer to your carpets. Hoping for the best and sending positive thoughts your way.
