Fishfreak218 Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 thank you very much tiny....i never liked reading about fish diseases for two reasons..one because it discouraged/worried me and two because it was/is just plain boring....anyway..ill go read up on Marine ich....lol Link to comment
Tony Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I've heard 4 weeks ( just what I've heard) , and too my knowledge Mollies are not typically SW fish meaning you cant just go down to petco and dump a couple in your reef tank. Good luck Fishfreek I hope they live. Some might say they are boring but your the only one I see putting something different in your tank ( livestock speaking ). Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 ^^^ yeah i know..i have been acclimating them for a while...i know i cant just go get more and dump 'em in the tank..i'll acclimate..but anyway these guys are looking pretty good (so no need for more)...and i think i know why that one was swimming weird and it looked like he had a broken tail...its b.c. he had ich on one of his fins and he wasnt using that fin....so he was unbalnced and he was bending his tail the other way to help balance him.....anyway in quarentine..for now.... josh Link to comment

Ann Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 If there is an issue with WQ why don't you just do a few water changes on your 30g? Your Pico is coming along great, how are the little fishies doing today? Best regards Ann Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 i am going to do a water change sunday....i have been having trouble with Alqalintiy and PH (i need to add a reverse fuge to help w/ the PH swings...thats not a terribly HUGE issue....im shure it happens to alot of people b.c. not everyone has reverse fuges..) anyway the fish are fine... Ich is gone...just waiting for it to be gone in the pico....anyway i have a question..i might be placing an order with Liveaquaria...anyway inverts (like shrimp) cant get ich can they..i am also going to get some snails...

Fishfreak218 Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 ok...well i put the Bubble in...now acclimating is the Frogspawn.....and then the Shroom and Ric.. Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 Frogspwan in...and the ric. is acclimating...also the mushrooms i mentioned was on a small peice of rock and he attached himself like 2/3 of his body on another rock and the rest of him on the small peice..impossible to get him off....anyway....the tank looks really crowded..if i had more of a rock structure this would be easier...you know...
