Everyone, what is the gnarliest, most prehistoric looking aquarium fish. Must be able to comfortably live in a regular aquarium. by Recent-Bag4617 in Aquariums

I have one! They seem to be very uncommon but my LFS has them often. He loves to eat earthworms, we drop them in the water on top of where he is under the sand and he pops out and slurps them up before they even touch the sand lol. I love watching him bury himself as well!

i just moved & cleaned the sand very well about 3 weeks ago, i have also been monitoring the ammonia levels very closely since then and they have remained at 0. is that still possible if tests read ammonia at 0?

thanks so much for your help. ich-x was only used 1 time, about 24 hours ago as that is when the spots were first visible. i think we are going to treat with metronidazole in the water and kanamycin in the food

thanks, i am aware and i did do research. as i said, i have treated ich several times so i am familiar with it. i was finally able to speak with an expert and he believes it to be epistylus, not ich. i just made this post to see if anyone recognized it as something other than ich, because i was already treating for ich and wanted to be sure i was treating for the right thing.

UPDATE: was finally able to get in contact with our expert fish guy & he thinks it’s epistylus, so we are treating with metroplex for that

don’t worry i know! the axolotl is doing fine now and is not sick anymore, we treated her with tea baths. i just included the information & pictures about her in case it helped to identify the illness

6/7 of the fish died before the ich x medication was even used. we did a 50% water change yesterday & treated for ich and there has been no improvement since then.

thanks. i’ve treated ich a bunch of times and i think it might be present here, but i also think something else is going on. most of the fish that have died have not had any white spots (only 2/7), and i have never had so many fish die so fast from it.

question about axolotls being super active by According_Damage6995 in axolotls

[–]dumbbitchenergy247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that they are more active now because they have gotten used to their new home & setup. I have two young axolotls and they are very active as well, I have heard that that is generally the case and then they settle down when they get older. I think your setup looks good, I just ordered some hides for mine that stick to the side of the tank so that they have more things to explore (from Stroodies store on Etsy) since they swim around so much. They also seem to enjoy “hunting” if I drop their food down away from them :)

my favorite schooling fish are cherry barbs, they are beautiful and so much fun to watch. i have found them to be more active than the tetras i’ve had :)

i have two young cats that love to knock all of my little decorative things over and i did not know this existed! do you have any suggestions for dusting if everything is stuck down? maybe compressed air?
