Thanks! It was shot with an HD cam, on youtube you can click the high quality link. I love that you can hear the clicking in the video. I wasn't sure if the camera would pick it up.

Thanks, someday I hope my little buddies get that big.

My last school of 5 were about 2 years old when they died from ich. I'm still upset with myself for making such a stupid mistake. I used my python to ...

First off, that's a great video. I too love my clown loaches and am in the process of setting up a new home (150g) to house a bigger family of them. For being new clown loaches they seem rather larger than what I've seen. Great find on them. I have to get all my fish from either Petsmart of Petco ...

Hi all,

Been quite a while since I have posted. I lost my 5 clowns to ich 1 year ago, despite all the great advice I was given by the members of this community.

Well the other day while browsing the LFS I decided to try it again, and I am so glad I did. The clowns were the reason I got into the ...

well so far so good. the tank is at 87 degrees. At every level, every corner. No loss yet. 2 of the 5 clowns have it, the 2 plecos and the gouramis are ich free.

I pulled out the diatom filter that was donated to me. It was a PIA to get going correctly, but I have that running too now. Can't hurt ...

thanks, I'm going to go with the salt. I am really against meds. Would a diatom filter help? I just remembered I have a used one that was given to me a few months ago. I believe everything including a sealed bag of powder is in the box.

well today 1 of the 5 clowns have ich :( Tank is around 87 degrees, increased the airflow to the air stone, and have the water level below the spray bar. I just did a super gravel vac and 50% water change.

Still deciding if I should try some "loach safe" meds, or just ride it out with water ...

well this just showed up yesterday. In the morning I did'nt see any spots on the fish. Last night a few of the danios were covered with them. Now that the temp is up to 87 I'm going to do a 50% water change and then daily vac's.

I really hope my loaches survive.

Thank you all for the info. Well I think my "nice guy" attitude caused my ich.

I used my vac to clean a friends neglected tank 2 weeks ago, never thought to boil my equipment. Can ICH "live" out of water? I would say atleast 3-4 days went by between the time I cleaned his tank then mine.

Last ...

Mark,

How exactly do I sterilize my gravel vac? I do have another tank.

Thanks

I can't get great pictures but if you look at the fins you can see the white dots.

Hi everyone,

I just noticed what looks like a bad outbreak of ich in my tank. My plecos and clowns have no spots(from what I can see), but my danios are covered, my pink gourami is covered, my blue and gold gouramis have a few spots.

Whats the best way to treat this variety of fish? I just spent ...

Anyone have good tips on taking CONSISTANT good aquarium pics with an SLR??

All my shots seem to be hit or miss.

jaytech33

thanks to everyone guiding me on moving my clowns to a bigger tank and getting them to come out of hiding. I completed the move with no issues, and I can actually see my clowns again. Pics of the tank, and the clowns with the L001.

Going to take some months before I have some zebras. First is the unfortunate problem of the rediculous cost. Second is finding a breeder I feel confident in. I have 2 local sources for quality fish, but both are having no luck finding good zebras.
