For the last few days I have seen more of my bristlenose than ever before. Every few minutes he zooms up to the top of the tank and then back down. Hes also been hanging out on the front glass more. I got him as an adult so I'm not sure of his age. Also, it is possible that parts of him are...

Just got back into town, so I thought I would let you know what I did and what happened. First off, the 3rd tetra that I thought was gone turned up a while later during a feeding not looking very good at all. He must have been hiding from being bullied becuase he was all sorts of beat up and...

Definitely thinking about 5-6 Khuli loaches and replacing the yoyos. But not for a while, because the yoyos gave the tank ick. They were scratching their bodies on the sand before they were eaten, and I didn't know what was going on at the time, but now I've got ick. So it'll be a few weeks...

I think I'll run my plan by you guys and see what you think. Last night, the last tetra that had visible spots must have died and been eaten because he is definitely not in the tank anymore. None of the other fish seem to have any spots. I am planning on adding the second day of the ick...

I got ich in the tank about 3 days ago and started with the heat treatment as most of the people on this forum suggest. After 3 days, I had lost 2 Tetras, and more were showing signs of infection, so I stopped by the LFS that I trust. The owner got me all freaked out that it would not be a good...

This morning I took the ropefish back to the store. The other little yoyo was gone, and he had a noticeable lump about midway down his body. I guess it wasn't meant to be. Any oddball type suggestions for a replacement? Thanks for the help everybody

The serpae tetras got kind of aggressive like that when I added the ropefish. They kind of harassed him everytime he went up for air. But they never bothered with the loaches. (thought is was weird that the tetras would try to bug an intimidating looking fish)

I've been hoping that he is hiding, but he was so active before. I was thinking about moving the big piece of driftwood around, but scared that if he was under there I might crush him or the BN Pleco

I haven't seen the angels even mildly harass anyone yet and they pretty much hang out side by side in the mid to upper half while the yoyos are in constant search of food at the bottom. I don't think it could have been the angels. Still no sign of him.

I can only seem to find one of my 2 yoyo loaches. I added them on saturday with a ropefish. The tank is a 55 gallon with: 1 Black Ghost Knife (3 inch) 1 BN Pleco (4 inch) 6 Serpae Tetras (1.5 inch) 2 Angels (2 inch) 1 Ropefish (8 inch) 2? Yoyo Loaches (1 inch) I don't know where it...

I decided to go with the BGK. Picked it up with a BN Pleco. The guy from my fish store said that he would help me pick compatible fish for them and help me add a couple a week until it is stocked. Sadly I got impatient and added an angel from petco that already had fin rot that I didnt...

Oh yeah, will this mess with the biofilter if I use it in the tank?

Just started a new tank and I got a BGK and a BN Pleco from a reputable LFS. Yesterday I got impatient and went to Petco and got an angel and today it looks like it has fin rot. The petco guy gave me enough of some antifungal stuff from Jungle to treat the whole tank. I have heard that BGK...

Thanks for the replies. I sure wish the BGK would be ok.

I figured that the bgk might be a problem, but i was hoping that it would be ok since it is mainly nocturnal. So without the bgk and the frog it looks ok?
