    quarantine death trap

    And inverts do not carry the parasite. As far as live sand goes, it could have been introduced that way if it was bagged less than 6 weeks ago. I am with the other posters here, not sure what could be left alive after all that time in a bag. No gas exchange, temp not maintained. I am...

    quarantine death trap

    Read the stickies. Ich is not a virus, it is a parasite. It has a life cycle that you must interrupt if you want your system to be ich free. This means leaving your tank fishless for several weeks. Some people use UV sterilizers but it isn't as reliable as eradicating ich from your DT and...

    What did I do!?!?

    Amquel killed half my fish. Run carbon, het the marineland carbon with the ammonia remover if you like, but i would avoid amquel from now on. Don't add more bc the numbers aren't going down either, it doesn't remove the ammonia, just makes it less toxic, you will still find the ammonia when...

    Backup battery power?

    I have a natural gas generator that powers my whole house 30 seconds is the longest interruption I have. It is great. I know that isn't the answer you were looking for, but that is my safety net.

    New Fish

    People are going to want to know how and for how long you acclimated them. In a bucket isn't really telling us anything. Fish that have already been through the stress of shipping need to be acclimated slowly. Since you say you used a bucket temp might be the issue, did you put a heater in...

    I adopted a sick fish and need help getting him healthy

    Kinda looks like he could have spent some time in low pH. Maybe all he needs is good food and good water.

    I adopted a sick fish and need help getting him healthy

    I got some advice that suggests fortifying the food with vitamins not just using garlic. Here is what I was told. Garlic and vitamins/hffa's are different......i don't want you to miss the point. You may use a little garlic to entice him to eat but the big thing is that he eats the right...

    I adopted a sick fish and need help getting him healthy

    If it is HLLE then good nutrition should be all he needs to recover. I think. It doesn't look like anything that I have seen spread, but I am no expert. I would have a hospital tank ready though in case he does show clear signs and requires treatment. I wouldn't move him yet though, but that...

    I am glad he seems better. I hope this is something that resolves on its own. Very strange.

    What is this?

    Mine haven't spread, but some people say they can become pests, but that hasn't been my experience. My son named one spike so I was relieved to find out they could stay.
