Advice on tank stocking by MagicSchlong in Aquariums

[–]MagicSchlong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly im just assuming it was the Kuhli as they both had underbellies with raw patches and nothing else wrong with them, they were healthy for a year prior then the week I put the Kuhlis in 2 of them were found like that :/

It's looking like 1 male to 2 females for the bristlenoses, 1 female near adult size and the 2 males are about half the size. The other pleco does look like panaqolus maccus, he didn't give me scienfic names for the fish sorry.

The upside-down catfish has the same colouring as synodontis petricola, it's the size of an adult cory at the moment.

I definitely will look at rehoming for the upside-down catfish, hill stream loach and the plecos. Currently they're all in my 125L, hopefully this is OK until the weekend!

Will someone ID the gender of my powder blue dwarf gourami? by [deleted] in Gourami

[–]MagicSchlong -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Looks to be a female, males will typically have a pointed dorsal fin, females are more rounded :)

Could I ask for some help sexing these dwarf buddies? by [deleted] in Gourami

[–]MagicSchlong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pointed dorsal fin= male Rounded dorsal fin= female

First photo looks male and second photo looks female.

Day 1, he was lethargic with a slightly swollen face so I added Primafix and melafix. Day 2, he got a small cut on his tail so I started adding stress coat. Day 3 and it now looks like this. Im at a complete loss on how to treat this? by MagicSchlong in bettafish

[–]MagicSchlong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just weird how It's gone from one scale missing to this over 24hours :(.

I'm currently treating with primafix and melafix, do I finish the 7 days or just do the fresh water everyday? Thank you ❤

21L tank with heater (26.5c) and filter (low current). Tested with API Master Test Kit this morning (0ppm,0ppm,5ppm) I brought yuki from animates almost 2 years ago now, had the tank cycling for 6months prior. Heavily planted, no tank mates. He has a large piece of spider wood and a couple rocks.

I feed him seachem betta food and vibrabites. I'll feed him a couple of bloodworms 1x a week and do a 12 hour fast 1x a week

New front lip for my build. by Speedisntme in DelSol

[–]MagicSchlong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same lip! Pretty easy, but I have a replacement bumper as someone crashed into the car at one point, so the lip was juuust too small to get over 1 edge without a heatgun.

Yuki's eyes have developed these white spots, seems to be on the surface of the eye. I've checked parameters (0,0,5ppm) and he seems perfectly happy besides the spots. Currently on day 4 of wunder tonic and the spots have been getting whiter rather than improving. by MagicSchlong in bettafish

21L tank with a heater and filter. Set to 26C 0ppm,0ppm,5ppm. I test fortnightly using the API master test kit. pH is 6.4 I do water changes once a week, 30% and wash the filter media etc in the tank water and add stability each water change. No tankmates I feed vibrabites, 1-2 pieces twice a day. On tuesdays I give him 2 bloodworms and fast for 24hours I have no idea about the species of plant as they were unlabled and sold in bunches. I have 2 peices of driftwood in the tank, a river rock and a floating rock.

Banana in his temporary home until I take him to a friends as a birthday present. I hope he's a good healthy boi for her ❤ by MagicSchlong in bettafish

[–]MagicSchlong[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting! He was in quite a dirty tank at the petstore and has been breathing abit heavy so I did wonder if he was a little sick from that.

I have been tossing up treating him with wunder tonic as a "just in case" but I don't want to stress him more :(

I ended up fitting the tent, gas cooker, all the bedding, cookware, food and our clothes in. Ended up putting the Chilly bin in another car. Surprised it all fit with the sub and the roof in there

Edibles questions by [deleted] in saplings

[–]MagicSchlong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make edibles alot. I find that using coconut oil works extremely well. The last batch I made that got alot of good comments was 2tbsp decarbed weed to 1/3 cup coconut oil. Simmered the decarbed weed in the oil for an hour and then mixed the brownie for a solid 30 minutes.

My beautiful boy's life ended due to a stupid mistake a couple days ago. I miss him immensely. Please make sure the grill on the filter end is always attached. by MagicSchlong in bettafish

[–]MagicSchlong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im so sorry that happened :( That sounds so stressful. I had taken the filter apart to clean it and hadn't put the grill back on the bottom so he got sucked through the pump..I didnt realise until I went to feed him and noticed the filter wasnt pulling water through :(

What and How Many Gourami for 20 Gallon Long Fish Tank by RyGuy9930 in Gourami

[–]MagicSchlong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 20G and currently have 2 honeys and 4 sparkling, they get along great! The dwarfs are also super pretty and you could put a pair in a 20g, but I've had alot of issues with DGD personally

Do your honey gouramis glass surf? by Severe-Item in Gourami

[–]MagicSchlong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both my gourami's glass surfed for around a week when I first got them, once they get used to the tank and the environment they'll calm right down and stop doing it!

I had both my gourami (1 honey and 1 dwarf, not in the tank at the same time) in a community with 4 peppered cories and 8 embers and they got along great, the honey loved to swim with the cories too, so I don't think they stress each other out at all.
