but would my GSP attack it? Definitely, if the octopus doesn't get it first. They require species-only tanks. Do you know what kind of octopus it was? In addition to an escape-proof tank, other things that need to be considered are: 1) any equipment in the tank is liable to be disassembled, 2) you ...

Nitrofurans are reportedly more effective in slightly acid pH, whereas the sulfas are more effective in slightly alkaline settings. Assuming you have a pH of around 7.6-7.8, my preference would be to hold out for the Furan-2 and treat with it. Make sure you buy enough for at least two full treatment...

I think it is a mistake to think there's something lodged in there just because the mouth is inflammed, and putting him under may further jeapordize his condition. I would probably use Kanamycin sulfate (Seachem: Kanaplex). You don't want to mix meds, though, so clearing the water in the QT tank is ...

Poor guy.... That's a serious looking internal infection. I think you should be doing maximum-strength antibacterial baths at this point. What meds do you have available to you? With an infection that severe I would have a bottle of clove oil on hand just in case it progresses to the point where eut...

You mean this: http://forums.waterwolves.com/index.php?showtopic=100746 T. pustulatus has always struck me as exactly the same as a lineatus, except for colouration. Perhaps it's not a separate species but a colour morph, along the same lines of what we see in the T. nigropunctatus family? Although,...

Don't use RO unless it's reconstituted. Especially when injecting CO2 you need a high buffering capacity! KH of 5 degrees or higher is highly recommended, otherwise you run the risk of having a pH crash - read: dead biofilter. That said, when finding the right CO2 settings, pH is meaningless without...

I have a whisper that is the noisiest of the bunch! The impeller likely needs replacement, though. We installed a Rena Filstar XP1 on our bedroom 20g and it's dead quiet. If it weren't for the plants moving around in the current, I would have to check to make sure it's plugged in. In general, canist...
