Any chance this could actually be a kuhli loach? They often look pink and have dk.brown to black bands running down the whole body, as well as having whickers...
Hi Everyone, I did some tank maintenance yesterday (vacuumed gravel and did some planting). This morning I noticed the fins on one of my albino cories are...
Nancy, I'm tossing this out here...just to see if I'm right. I suspect that the smaller one is a male; the females are much larger than male cories. Good...
Nancy, I would quarantine the little guy and add a little melafix. The problem right now is they are fresh wounds, and prone to infection. The barbels MIGHT...
Hi Nancy, It is possible you injured him. Or it could be something else altogether. Removing him to a small seperate tank will make it easier to try meds on...
I'm considering buying a shovelnose cat. Can anyone tell me how rapidly they grow and if my 55g is to small? Another thing is tankmates? Thanks, Nate...
Your shovelnose will get to the 10 inch - 12 inch length in about 1 year. So your 55 gallon tank should be adequate until then. I'd upgrade to at least an 18...
I was going to put my injured cory in my quarantine tank but I can't do that now because the dwarf gourami that's already in there (for a few days) is showing...

Hello Fellow Hobbyists, It is that time of year again. The Champaign Area Fish Exchange is holding its Summer Auction on July 16th at the Urbana Civic center....
dropsy is not contagious. you can put the cory in the new tank with no problems, just watch the water quality and change as needed, just like cycling a new...
Thanks, Rob. Do you mean about 25% water change daily or more? Ahhh... ... mid 60's sounds wonderful to me. It's hot and humid here in PA. All my tanks are...
Oh, I didn't know dropsy isn't contagious. In that case I'll move the gourami and put the Cory in the filtered Q tank. I'm going to try antibiotics for the...
nancy, I give my cories 10%-20% waterchanges every day when i am trying to get them to breed. Everyday for 3 days then nothing for 4 days.. then everyday for ...
If I were back home (St. Louis, MO) I'd make a point of going, but it's just a little too far from Seattle, WA. LOL Have a great show! Growing old is...
I would agree with what the others have said. Gotta have a big tank for the long-haul. Also make sure that a shovelnose is what you want. As earlier...

Well like folks have already said, it all depends on which shovelnose you want. Now I know tiger shovelnoses are cool fish I'll admit, but they really do top 3...
Thanks everyone for the quick responses. Much appreciated. I'm still a rookie and I need to learn alot more. As I can see, the members of this forum are great....
Hello Everyone- I got 3 Oto Cats last weekend and I've read that they are sensitive to nitrate levels. However, I can't find anything stating exactly what a...
If your NO^3 is raising that quickly it would seem that your tanks is overcrowded, or overfed. I keep my nitrates at <10ppm usually untestable. If you keep...
Thanks, Andre'. I'm not overstocked but maybe I'm overfeeding. I'm going to cut down (again) and see if it helps with the nitrates. Since my tap water has...
Sounds like you need to do larger water changes, to cut the levels. Not sure what would be considered safe. Nitrate is not as toxic as the other contaminants,...
Thanks, Les. The temp in the tank is 80F with the A/C and Ceiling fan going. I can't take the lid off of the tank because the other fish are jumpers, but I...
That was supposed to be 30ppm. sorry. I do water changes often as i am dealing with wild fish that have yet to venture in to an ammonia saturated stream....
