Add enough med (half dose) for the entire tank after a water change. Leave the water level a bit lower to add aeration from the filter return &/or add an airstone. There is no need to get tank water in your mouth (especially medicated--beyond yuck!). There are several ways to start the syphon mouth-...

Incredible tank chefkeith. Great job!
Last night we had a Black Sabbath retrospective with dinner inspired by your other video, tonight maybe a surf medley of Beach Boys, Link Wray & Dick Dale.

I'm not long experienced with sand but I had what I think was black beard algae in the top layer of mine. Short dark fibers I picked out in small clumps of sand. Baby saes seemed to get rid of it, or at least control it so I don't notice. Is it cyano? Sheets of blue green (or other color) slime that...

Wow, helen, they are beautiful! Which one is which?

Figuring out a dosage could be tricky, percent solutions give me nightmares. I did find a prazi dosage for fish of 2.5mg/Liter of water. (milligrams/ I can relate to). I remember people trying bird treatments with levamisole & there was something about sugars in it to make it palatable possibly caus...

What country are you in Squid? We are a very international bunch & can help more with what might be available to you.

I have 6 striatas & 9 sids together. In the 2 main hiding spots the largest 3 fish of both species share 1 & the smallest another. But when it's dancing time the striatas are all out sometimes with a sid or 2. The sids school with the rasboras. When the bigger SAE cleans the front glass most of the ...

Now that it's warm outside, I use a garden hose & big plastic tub. The sand comes up less than halfway in the 20? gal. Tilt an end up on a brick to help lift & the lighter stuff runs off. Run your hand through the sand to stir. Then, because it was heavy, I scooped out some to carry. Put the lid on ...

Daphnia is also good for constipation if he will eat tiny foods.

Tinman--I was thinking the xp3 came with the ceramic stars (as in filstars) I must have remembered wrong, I think about buying 1 every time there's a good sale. MTS-- It's tglassburner that uses them, I don't think there's anything on them. Here's the thread with a pic http://forums.loaches.com/view...

I think it's this forum where someone uses plastic pot scrubbers as bio-filter. The loopy,cheap ones, lots of surfaces. I'm disappointed about the lesser filter package, Tinman.

Sorry LO got the code wrong it's XP3XP4 (it works I just tried it)

My striatas were that size a year ago but while taller now they have only grown about 1/2 inch. Mine still dance after bloodworms or other frozen food treat.

Wow MD you HAVE more sids than I've ever SEEN total. They look great. I have my 9 in a 75g & they only occaisionally dance if the striatas get it going. They like to race with the red tailed rasboras once in a while. They all grew about 1/4 inch or so when they moved to the bigger tank but still the...

FYI petsmart has a real deal on rena xp3's $75 & free shipping too. just thru May I think. Type in XP3/XP4 in the coupon spot. I'm thinking of getting 1 even though I don't really need 1 right now I'd like to try a cannister.
