Well early this afternoon Jezebel died she was all black, not breathing and stomach was suck in alittle bit.. found her stuck to filter intake and got her off and then fell to bottom of tank and turned upside down, I held her right side up in water for a few and she was gone. No more GSP for me. Dwa...

Wow we didn't know that thanks pufferpunk..Matt was getting amquel today after work now I'll tell him and get Prime. We've been using that for about 8 months now, but that's the only chemical we use so I'm glad there's something better

Oh ok we knew that but isn't it good for wc as it makes the tap water safe for the fish

I did my first dose of Melafix this morning, seems to be a little more active. Staying out of cave more now she's just hanging out up at the top now and them. Her belly is white with just a little black around face. But the nice neon green GSP have on their back is just a patch now and the rest is k...

So far I can't see any worms in there. It just looks completely shut. But today she was swimming around until I turned her light on then she went into her cave. I don't have bright lights I have the cool blue on all my tanks so it's not so bright. Is amquel that bad of a product? We only use it duri...

t1gerbee I see in your signature that you have Convicts. My husband has a convicts only tank and we just had babies about a month ago..there everywhere lol !! The really sad thing is Matt was vaccuming out his tank and the mom jump in front of the hose and got hurt so we put in the hospital tank wit...

Yeah I'm just going to watch her and see is she gets better, I feed her krill and she normaly eats that, plus she likes pond snails. The funny thing is I hear that they like ghost shrimp..well I have two in her tank that have been with her since day one (probably close totwo months) and she doesn't ...

Our hospital tank is fully cycled all we would have to do is raise the salt to the same level. Right now she's only at .0004. She's been at .0002 for 3 weeks and .0004 for 3 days because of our move and everything. I guess at this point we'll wait and see if she gets better...but I'm afraid if she k...

Amquel was for adding some water to top off tank, to make it safe for the tank. She's still acting not herself, not eating but I guess it could be the stress of the move. My husband did notice one thing. One side of her "gills" are working fine but the other side doesn't seem to be breathi...

oh and I made a mistake about the nitrate is was at 5.0 I put a dose of amquel in but that's never made her act funny.

this is matt, jodi's husband. sand stayed wet, about 1/2" of water all decorations and filter media was transfered in bin with water from tank. all water but about 3 gallons was transfered. temp may have dropped during the move but temp of old house and new house is the same, (water stays about...

Gsp tank is 45 gallons. ammonia 0, nitrate 0, nitrite 0, ph 7.6. salt is at .002. Did water change last night. She's been acting funny for about a week now. not active like she used to be. Tonight I found her on bottom of tank just lying there. Turned light on and she became alittle more active but ...

Just did 50% water change, added salt and right now at .002 salt level easier than I thougt, hubby helped so I felt better. I only help him with the water changes on our other tanks so I felt blind going in and trying to do water change and addign salt myself. For the last 30 mins Jezebel has been b...

Ok bear with me please... I have a GSP and it's in freshwater, I know it needs marine salt. I have a 29 gallon and Jezebel is the only one in there. I have sand, powerhead and a whisper 30 -60 filter. How do I start adding the salt I'm new to this with the salt thing. I have Instant ocean and a hydr...

Here's the diagram I saw on other forum... I hope no one gets mad at me using this pic. I just think it was a good diagram and helped me alot. I use a powersweep 214 for a 30 gallon and cycles 160 gph and it has the sponge filter on the bottom. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll274/jlclinegifts/J...
