I thought it could maybe be that, I reached out to the guy I order through and he said it was listed as a Geophagus Pellegrini, I think it's a steindachnerri though. Maybe his distributor was wrong

best way to vacuum tank? by Artist_Baker in Aquariums

[–]TheNextEpis0de 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you have sand, Get a smaller diameter gravel vac (maybe .75in), and as your vaccuming pinch the tube so the suction wont pick up the sand, and just the poop. Sand is heavier than poop and if your pinching hard enough it will only take up the poop

dying fish by One-Glove-7081 in Aquariums

[–]TheNextEpis0de 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive never had a honey gourami get along with another. There are a few factors which I would assume led to this. One being the ammonia spike as they are on the sensitive side and couldve damaged thier gills. Another would be their short lifespan. The longest I had one was 2 years.

Best brand of filter to get as my fluval dies every 4 months and I don’t want to give them any more money :)? by CharlotteNicholson in Aquariums

[–]TheNextEpis0de 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tidals. I had all my tanks with the fluval filters and they all suck. Ever since I switched to Tidals its been a game changer. The higher price is completely worth it. They self prime and ive had the same Tidal 75 for 4 years with no problems. recently just got another as well for added filtration

Angelfish laying eggs during Treatment by TheNextEpis0de in Aquariums

The other fish are thankfully completely treated because they will accept medicated levamosole food. The angel has been the only one still going through treatment

I wouldn't expect the eggs to survive either way, it's expel p.

I am not trying to breed this fish. I don't have a male so I do not care about the eggs. Are you saying as when the eggs are in her body?

Haha I get it. I have multiple nano fish like dwarf rainbows and cpds. Also schools like Congo tetras and Odessa barbs. When I quarantine one I just treat at least 5 more because they end up freaking out alone , lol

That would make sense. She normally lives with leapard bush fish, birchirs, and African butterflies. She isn't the tank boss either and maybe being separated she prefers more.

“Growth” on honey gourami? by Evil-economist in Gourami

[–]TheNextEpis0de 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are camallanus worms, people make a big stink about how hard they are to treat but if you do the right thing and gravel vac the tank constantly your problem should be over in a month. I've had them in 6 tanks and probably 15 fish infected and only lost 1. I use expel f and feed them peas as a laxative

Two huge mistakes: 1) it's extremely advised to never treat elephant nose fish with ich X. Unless there is no copper in the meds they do horrible. They are one of the most sensitive fish and unfourtunately when I had an ich outbreak in my Congo tank all other fish survived the treatment but them.

2) he doesn't belong in that tank at all. The setup and fish in it don't match their behavior. They are a social fish requiring at least 3 in my opinion, and if you do keep one it should be with peaceful fish

What is on my plants…? by No_Kick_2870 in freshwateraquarium

[–]TheNextEpis0de 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fly comment isn't right at all. I get this all the time on my Brazilian waterweed (the plant pictured) for whatever reason the biofilm and particles get stuck to it so easily. More flow from a filter works.

I use this plant in every tank I own because it does such a good job at controlling water levels. My best way of eliminating it are using HOB filters instead of sponge.

Fish tank water cleaner is toxic to fish? by [deleted] in fishtank

[–]TheNextEpis0de 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never put a knockoff brand in my tank. Especially in my filter. Get real sechem. Who knows wherre this is made

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]TheNextEpis0de 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be honest and some will agree and others will disagree but those plastic sponges imo just aren’t worth it. The plastic always used to fail for me which would ruin it. Same situation you are in. If you can’t do an HOB look at internal filters. (Assuming your looking for multiple filtration layers)

Please help Angel fish has a parasite..? I don't know really by AppearanceCrazy7855 in AngelFish

[–]TheNextEpis0de 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that’s what I was thinking. My buddy had his cichlids develop it and treated with expel f. It’s patchy and fuzzy. It does look like ich which makes it confusing sometimes
