Hi guys. :D Well, it has certainly been an interesting couple of days. Two days ago, one of my F8's started acting funny. It lacked an appetite for one and I know darn well thats not a good sign at all. It was lethergic and began swimming vertically, tail down. This is indicative of gill problems so...

Great! thanks for the tips!

I've used Fosters and Smith before and was very pleased with their service....

Thanks again guys!

Thats a good idea! Seachem doesn't even mention, anywhere on their site, that Prime has a concentrated blend. Even for their 20 liter size. Is the Prime you mentioned made by Seachem or is it another company with the same name product? Do you know of any good online sources? I usually shop at BigAls...

Anyway, I don't plan on keeping them in the 20 long for the rest of their lives. I'm already inquiring (above) about setting up a rather large tank for them. But, S...

Thanks for the input guys! :D Yeah, UGF's aren't really all that. I was planning on phasing it out. The tank was newly set-up and instantly cycled by media from other tanks. The UGF was really just extra insurance to me that the bio-filter was up and oxidizing at full steam. I was inquiring about mu...

Greetings and salutations! :D I've been keeping freshwater fish for 10+ years now. Through the years, I've kept/keep goldfish (fancy and common/comets), fancy guppies, sailfin mollies, tetras, fancy plecos, corydoras, loaches, bettas and a few others. I also keep turtles, lizards and apple snails. A...
