[AquaticLife] I really messed up this time!

The best thing to use for shims would be pieces of hardwood shaped in wedges. Some roofing shingles could also be used if the gap needing to be filled was large enough. If you go to a hardware or big box home improvement store, they actually sell packages of shims in the windows […]

[AquaticLife] I really messed up this time!

How unlevel is it? Can you take pics from front and side to show it? Do you have hardwood floors, tile, carpeting, other?
If it’s only a little unlevel, it won’t cause any danger but might not be as aesthetically pleasing. Usually, filling the water until the water line is hidden by the […]

[UniQuaria] glofish!???

These are genetically modified Zebra danios that have a bit of fluorescence in them. One of the monsters created by mankind though they are not disabled like the Blood parrots or are not tortured by colouring them or injecting them with ink.

Lenny,
They also have salt grinders, which may be more appropriate. Or, you could always use a mortar and pestle. Frankly, though, I’ve never done either when using kosher salt at the table or for cooking.

[AquaticLife] ICH

Once the cysts have disappeared, and no new ones have developed within 3-4 days, you can start doing water changes to remove the salt from the tank, and gradually lower the tank’s temperature to the level it was before treatment was started–I’m guessing room temperature.

[AquaticLife] ICH

You can use regular table salt if you wish. The added iodine should be of no concern. The problems that were associated with iodine were really caused by the anti-caking agent that was used to keep the salt relatively free flowing. What is being used today does not seem to affect the fish.
Kosher salt, without […]

[AquaticLife] ICH

The substance the store sold you probably contains methyline blue, which is not only a medication, but a dye. If the store had told you that the best way to treat ich, they would not have made any money from you that day.
The ideal temperature for an ich cure is 84 degrees F. Your goldfish […]

Newbie with a fungus problem?)

Yes, PetsMart will do a water test for you but they typically use the dip sticks which would be less reliable than your kit but nothing wrong with having it done for comparative purposes. Either have them write down the results in numbers or you do it yourself. DO NOT accept “It’s OK” […]
