Keyhole Cichlids breeding

The other day the power went out and I really messed up my aquarium from it. When the power finally came back on my filter wouldn't start. So I took the top off the canister filter before shutting the water off from the tubing. What a disaster!!!! I had about 5 gallons of water on the floor and on the the electrical power outlet that everything for the aquarium was plugged into. So nothing was working and I had to clean up my mess. I was in a rush for work so I plugged in the filter some…

Making water softer?

A quick tank update. All my fish are doing great after I got rid of the worms. My jungle val is growing out of control so I had to cut a lot of it back. I stopped using DIY CO2 and going to switch to Seachem Excel.

Now for my real question. I've had some Blue Rams for a few weeks now. They're eating great and swimming up to the front of the tank often. I can usually find them with my red phantom tetras or the keyhole cichlids. However, their colours aren't as bright as when we bought…

Update after camallanus worms

There have been no sign of the worms. I lost quite a few fish and I have started restocking my aquarium. Last weekend I got 4 German Rams and lost one. The 3 left are looking great and I think will do fine. Today I went to my LFS and got some angels to replace the ones that I lost. I haven't lost a fish since my initial treatment. I'm pretty sure the first treatment killed all the worms. 

I still have one more treatment to do tomorrow, but I'm not doing that large of a water change…

camallanus worms update and started treatment

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.

camallanus worms

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…
