It want's you to sign into the website. So the pic may be there but we can't get to it.

We can't see that either.

The think I have used for years to put water back into a tank without disturbing things is just a simple bowl. Pour the water into it and it spreads out the force.. works great. I recently did my first sand tank also and just hover the cleaner hose over the top about 1/2 and inch and it seems to wor...

It just amazes me how well these little guys hide.. Just when you think you lost them more appear... so far I have only seen the one.

My hillys seem to prefer it lower.

Yes, I am very happy.. the rest of the family thought I was a raving idiot searching for the camera...

Well since she won't show her's... I'll show you what I found in the tank today. Not a sp....but still a sewellia..

Nice fish. One thing I noticed is a rock you have in there. IME, rainbow slate is not inert. I've tested it with a TDS meter a few times before by letting it soak in a water filled sealed container for a couple weeks. Anyways, I'll no longer keep that stuff in my tanks. it is 'fake' rock it is acut...

Hi all, I have had a new tank brewing for about a month now. I got the fish for it a few days ago. I have 3 cheni's I think I got 2 females and a male.. but want to check with the experts.. The 1st I think is the male.. The second a female.. and the 3rd is camera shy so no pic of it but the head it ...

There is a lot of current at the top and in the water it self. I run power heads and multiple air bars all with 40+ gal air pumps for each bar. I think I have enough movement at the surface to have good 02 exchange.

The temp is and always has been 74. The GH is 8, I don't know the kh or tds.

No, I do not have a water softener.

Thanks for the advice I will go with a 10 day treatment.

They all seem to be doing well still, actually better than before the treatment started. They all also seem to be eating better. If they keep this up I may have some competition for your giants Jim.

I know it is early in the treatment.. but I have noticed that all the rest the 3 Sewellia, 2 kweichowensis and 2 Ocellatus all seem to be much more active.

So I think the treatment might actually be doing some good even thought I really don't know what is wrong.

You better get at it then!

"Sometimes hillstreams just don't thrive." I am really hoping this is the case. My 3 adult Sewellia's seem to be ok.. so far it seems to be affecting the smaller ones. "I am guessing that you've read up on this site the perfect requiremnets of these fish? are you doing 50% WC weekly? any suspect roc...
