Just got back from my weekend in NY and brought back levamisole HCL to treat the tank. Unfortunately when I got back there were more dead fish :( Anyways, I did about a 75% water change and added the levamisole. Hopefully I will start seeing some dead worms being expelled from the fish and I can save the rest of the fish. I will keep updating with the results of the treatment.

I've been thinking about catching a small sunfish (blue gill ect.) and keeping it in my 20 gallon for the summer then releasing it at the end of the summer it wouldn't have any other tank mates. I would figure out the water parameters by testing the lake water and get local plants there too. Sound like a good plan?

P.S I would try and get one thats like only 3 or 4 inches 

I was thinking of getting a Fluval Spec V  ( 5 gal )  and putting a pair of Blue Ram Cichlids in it - would it be big enough for them ?????  Please reply if you can help .......…

i got some problem on my 75 gall there are algae on my plants.Im not sure if its Black Hair Algae or algae balls i also see them from my rocks.

Any suggestions on a good algae eater?  I have those little algae balls on my plants, they are attached pretty well, I could not just pull them off.  I did a cleaning and a water change today, not sure how to get rid of it.  I was hoping a UV filter might help, it cleared up the water perfectly, but had no effect on the algae.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Here's my situation. I'm a senior in college (one semester left!) and have a 55g African Cichlid tank and a 10g planted community. The 55g is quite tricky to move back to my apartment at school (6 hours drive) but it's doable. What makes it extra tricky is I aquascape my tank with sandstone tiles. They are heavy and I don't want to keep them in my tank during the trip because I don't want them to break the glass. I normally have to put all of the sandstone pieces into a plastic container…

So this really sucks. I've got camallanus worms and it's wiping out my fish. It's killed 4 angels in the past 2 weeks. A couple of my fish have the little red worms sticking out of their anus :(. I'm going to be treating with levamisole wich I've read does a really good job at killing these awful worms. Apparently it's not available in Canada so I've ordered it from the U.S and just waiting. Hopefully I don't lose many more fish but I'm worried it's going to wipe out my tank. If anyone has…

Anyone know about how much a pair of breeding angelfish are worth?

So everyone gets their shipment of fish in the stores tomorrow. So I want my 5 betta girls to have some tank mates in a planted 20 gal tall tank. I'm so stoked about getting corycats. But I also want to get some other schooling or shoaling fish. But I am undecided on what to get. I have a small budget to work with it. But I also have a 10gal QT tank I can put them in for a few weeks first to see if they develop any diseases.

So my question is what kind of peaceful non-fin…

ive been in the hobby for 7 years and i always use prime  and now im adding a little more to stay on the safe side but im wondering if it can hurt my fish or make them OD hahaha i put 5g buckets and i put prim in and let them sit there for 1 to 2 days and some times longer.

..The Serpae's are now all fat and showing a considerable amount of spawning behavior (in am)...

The plan was initially to just let the group of eight breed in a school. After some research, I decided that a separate breeding tank would be ideal for rearing the newly hatched fry and decrease the amount of egg eating ...... so I packed the 20 long with moss, cabomba, wisteria and a layer of duckweed on the surface..  I then choose the two…
