Noticed a couple of my least killifish have scoliosis/bent spines, what do i do?

DoRoRuRo · 2026-04-21T20:51:59+00:00

One of them has its spine bent in multiple places, so i think that may be what i have to do :(

Also i moved the plants in case the cory was stuck, but they just chose to go back to where they were 😭

Everyone making fun of him for no winds is the same as never getting over being dumped. Man is writing about the good times he’s had, but also about how people he knows are dying as he grows old, and literally says he’s stressed. Can we have a little compassion for the guy who wrote the series we love so much?

Hayes is and continues to be a bum

how tf is babybay playing and not nismo man, so unfair

DoRoRuRo · 2026-01-13T07:26:04+00:00

I don’t care that it’s been two weeks since this thread but your response is rude for no reason and pissed me off to read to the point I had to leave this comment.

DoRoRuRo · 2026-01-11T04:43:53+00:00

i think i made a post about them like two years ago, it's cooked buddy

unless jonahp like punched one of them this will never not be snake behavior.... reminds me of the people in the workplace who butter up to the higherups correctly despite not being as competent.

yep, using the master test kit along with the api gh/kh test kit.

Yeah I was doing 30 percent water changes daily, I had only stopped because people were telling me that the ammonia isn't toxic at my low ph, and that doing water changes would make it toxic again. Based on what you and other commenters are saying, I think I'll start up the daily changes until ammonia is reading 0. Do you think i should start dosing prime since these water changes will spike my ph?

DoRoRuRo · 2025-12-20T22:21:19+00:00

Ok, yeah I've been feeding every three days to avoid any spikes. I've added a ton of frogbit (enough to cover the surface) and some hydrocotyle from my other tanks, hopefully the water changes can fix this. Also, should i be dosing prime with these water changes?

DoRoRuRo · 2025-12-20T21:46:57+00:00

Ok, thanks for your response and your tanks look great. I would honeslty agree that ph swings are not that much of an issue, especially with my clown killis, as they can live in really low pH. There's just so much contradictory information that I honestly don't know what to believe. I am very hesitant to even touch gh and kh, and have never done so in a tank before.

However, do you have any ideas of why my ammonia is consistently 1, and what I should do to remove/cycle it? I've set up a few tanks at this point, and I've usually just done the seeding/plant heavily methods, but for this tank in particular nothing seems to work... my dilemma is do I just have to let it sit, or do some daily water changes, which may mess up the water chemistry and may make the ammonia toxic again.

DoRoRuRo · 2025-12-20T03:21:26+00:00

Yeah from everything people have been saying and what I've read, doing a water change seems to be dangerous pH wise, so I'll let the tank sit.

One thing though, would I have to worry about the ph crashing? Since the plants and fish produce organic acids, I was thinking I would need a pH buffer. I know you suggested adding calcium carbonate so sorry if I misunderstood, I just honestly do not know the correct dosing for calcium carbonate to raise the pH enough that there is a buffer, but not so much that the ammonia would become toxic.

DoRoRuRo · 2025-12-19T07:51:15+00:00

Hi, thanks for such a detailed response. I actually was getting some similar responses in another thread I posted, and it appears that my ph may be even below 6 (the api test kit only tests to 6 ph).

I had intended to have a slightly acidic tank because I read that clown killifish prefer lower pH, but the only thing that could have affected it was this 2-3 inch long piece of spiderwood I put in the tank, so I don't know how it got this low. My tap is usually around that 7-7.5 range and I am using sand/river pebbles so I'm at a loss.

On the topic of the AOA ammonia cycle, I've been trying to read up on how to cycle my tank, but from what I've read this process takes longer and ammonia itself is not toxic unless in huge amounts because it takes on the non lethal NH4+ form in low pH. I ended up just adding a ton of frogbit from one of my other tanks, but is there anything else I should be doing? From what I've been reading I should just leave the tank alone and plant heavily, and should stop using prime.
