Welcome back to the fish keeping and to this forum. Please list all of your parameters and as fish wonder stated how long was the aquarium cycled. The information is very critical because if aquarium has not completed it's cycle that will cause fish to refuse food and other issues. :)

I've personally had to use shims under the stands of. a few aquariums myself do to floor not being level. I totally agree with charliebankston.

Tbh I never read or heard of a fish staying near of the heater due to illness. My concern was heater burn.

Welcome back!!!!

Oh ok I would just keep on doing what your doing and hopefully that area clears up.

Oh sorry misread your post I assumed it was more than 1 Flame Gourami. Do you ever notice the Gourami near the heater?

Great to hear that and hope things go well.

Just read a interesting article on Fishlab.com I googled how to treat Planaria. They explain in detail why your shrimp are dying and ways to treat.

Also prior to adding the Parrot Cichlid did you quarantine the Cichlid? If you didn't then the Parrot fish could have been carrying parasites.

You are probably correct. If the aquarium was not completely dark when you put in the food the Cichlid will definitely locate the food.

That may be from them fighting. Looks like missing scales. keep the water in pristine conditions.

Your Welcome!

How long did you have the Pleco and what were you feeding it?

Your welcome! I learn something new everyday as well lol.:)

The only way I can think of is from plants introduced to the aquarium. I know for sure they are found in ponds.

Those are Hydra. The aquarium,substrate,ornaments and filter would need to be sterilized. Bleach and part water should get rid of them.

I've seen 10 gallons but for me personally it's about dimension's more than anything if the aquarium was a 20 long then I would say doable because if the Rummynose got spooked they would have the length not to swim into the glass side.

Yes if possible post a pic. Also test and list your water parameters.

Welcome aboard I suggest not adding the Rummynose tetra because of size and their shoaling behavior.

I personally sealed 2 aquariums with GE 100% Silicone and one of the aquariums has been up and running going on 4 yrs with no issues. Just make sure it has no anti mold inhibitors in it.

Welcome aboard What's going on with the Corydora's?

With the great advice already given would like to add keep the filter free of gunk buildup because that will definitely contribute to high Nitrate.

I also had to learn this but never add fish to a aquarium you are treating and the fish being treated is infected. The new fish will get infected quickly if the aquarium is not eradicated. Do you gravel vac during water changes?

Tbh I don't know how to sex Ghost Shrimp. If the female is already carrying eggs a male is not needed.

Oh ok it won't be a instant cycle but more like a jump start because you won't have the total amount of bacteria to start with so there will be a mini cycle. The bacteria should populate pretty quickly.
