Sadly, he died after a week or so. Same exact thing. He just never ate, and was the only one to be skinny. Also, hung out by the heater. He got extremely pale, then passed :(. ALl the others were healthy and happy. I got a lot of people on LoL mentioning a thing called "Skinny". Whatever it IS, not ...

Well my kuhlis are always hidden but my DOJO's do that as well. Mostly, right before a big weather change/drop in pressure lol....I call it the "pre storm workout" because it looks like they're doing laps for excercise

I hope that your fishies all recover. THat sucks to lose one from jumping (

I agree; I've seen the Do Not Use UV filter while using xx medication. But it's always there, in that TEEEEENY Print. If it's not, then it's not a factor and uv through treatment is fine...
I hope the new medication is working for you!!!

I will echo the experienced members' sentiments. Do not stop treating, keep going at least a WEEK after you see the spots are gone. With an outbreak that bad, it would probably be in your best interest to keep going the week after it's all gone. It sounds like you've got a very hardy ich; don't let ...

You so eloquently said what I felt when my fishies died...about not taking away our memories. And mine, I only had for a month or so, and I still had a tough time with the loss!!
You're in the right place, no doubt about it.

Does anyone have a pic of an eggy female golden dojo loach? Especially if it's also showing a male?
I'd like to see how much is eggyness and how much is just plain over feeding....

I will try both; hopefully, I'll catch em eventually....thanks!

Ok so after some great advice from the experts on LoL, I realized that I have to move my kuhlis. Where to move them is NOT a problem. The problem is...catching them! They're so tiny, and it's a 55 gallon tank.....planted (somewhat). Tearing the plants up is NOT an issue: fish happiness is more impor...

I have five longfin danios & 2 praecox rainbows now. They're schooling together, which I find awesome. I wanted some diamond tetras, or blue tetras, but my husband wanted the rainbows; he said next fish purchase would be my tetras. But now that the praecox are happily in tank, I don't think I need t...

I am so sorry for your losses!!! I understand the grief. And how amazing that you had them for SO long.... Please do not give up; it WILL get better, and lets all cross our *everything* in the hopes that this is the only loss, and from here on it will be more positive and healing. Once again, I am s...

Grats if they're baby loaches~! I'm dying to know, since I had two amazingly happy and active dojos' and they did the spawn dance all the time at HIGHER TEMPS. But, it seems that they're a colder water fish. Now that the tank temp is more suitable for them... they never dance. And they don't even la...

the kuhlis are going to get their own tank then . (A good "reason" to buy another tank lol)
And I will still get another dojo for the big tank.
Thanks!

Wow I'm sorry that it didn't work...but try again! I hear a lot of the same thing. So, maybe try again and give them more time together...you know the way it should go, once they're together, so maybe just give em a longer time together, if she has places to hide (which it sounds like she does :), h...

Is that a family? Will they hang together?
