Re: Amazon (sap)

Re: red worms?

How do you get them/where would they have come from? I read that you can get them if you are using them as food, but I haven't. And then, how do I get rid of them?

red worms?

I originally thought they were planeria, but re-thinking that. I keep good care of my tank, doing water changes regularly--my SAP w...

Re: Amazon (sap)

You said you were able to rehome? Did you adopt from someone else or did you find the little guy at a pet store?

Re: GSP brown streamers (worms) coming from left gill

Upon stumbling over an article about rams disease, I further looked into whirling disease and the pictures I found on google look like Nan. I thought it was just the way she was trying to keep herself from floating back up but her tail is not straight even when shes just at the top. Is there somewhe...

Re: GSP brown streamers (worms) coming from left gill

I did remove the carbon filters when I treated.

Burping? How would I go about doing that?

Re: GSP brown streamers (worms) coming from left gill

I know. I dont understand. What would be making her center of gravity off? She is having a really hard time staying down, and when she lets of of the control, she kinda sumersaults in the water before going back up. I know that is not normal. Ive done water changes regularly, they tested my water at...

GSP brown streamers (worms) coming from left gill

Please help. My GSP got attacked my his (ex) friend about a week ago. She has half a missing lip and a missing tail fin. I am very worried, because despite how often I feed her her belly continually stays sunken ( I did a week of IP treatments that ended last week). I decided to do a freshwater dip ...

I have had my 3 gsp's in my 55g tank since sept. They have all gotten along fine. Recently I started adding decorations to the tank to give them more stuff to do. When I walked into the room yesterday I looked over to see that the one had the other's mouth in a vice grip. Now one of my poor babies i...
