    Concerned about my new Apistogrammas

    80% all at once. The moment you changing the water, try to keep the water temperature at the same level. When that is done, just increase it a little over a longer period of time. If the temperature jumps more than 3-4 degrees, from one minute to the next, the fish's immune system stops...

    Concerned about my new Apistogrammas

    Feel free and ask away. Just make sure I don't get any problems with the translation. My English is a bit rusty...hehehe

    Sick Cory Sterbai

    In that case, please excuse me. Then I misunderstood you.

    Sick Cory Sterbai

    So if you used salt and Ick and your Corydoras showed problems, it was not due to the salt, but to the malachite green oxalate contained in the medication. It also contains nitrofurazone. It is highly toxic to humans and, in my humble opinion, does not belong at all in possible medications...

    Sick Cory Sterbai

    This is an absolute myth and does not correspond to the facts. It should be clear that you do not put Corydoras in a brackish water broth for treatment. When I talk about salt treatment, we are talking about a heaping teaspoon per 20-25 litres. And that is only dosed once!

    Concerned about my new Apistogrammas

    I have no idea about the fish so far. Without any pictures, or better a video, i can't tell you what it could be, or not. Methylene blue, or methylthioninium chloride you can usually find here in Germany in some medical treatments, such as Bactopur from SERA brand and its already resolved. So...

    Concerned about my new Apistogrammas

    Hello Mazan, Use methylene blue, or methylthioninium chloride, which is pretty much the same thing, along with salt, and do not use glutaraldehyde in conjunction with malachite green oxalate (like it's used in Paraguard). Glutaraldehyde is basically nothing more than formaldehyde and causes...

    Sick Cory Sterbai

    The problem with kanamycin is that we are talking about an antibiotic for the treatment of eye infections within human medicine. It is used locally and is readily used in fish diseases completely unreflectively. The radius of action is rather limited, due to the low effect against gram-negative...

    Fin “blister” growths on cacatuoides

    Hi Andrew, to be precise, yes. Assuming a possible cure over a period of at least 6 weeks, 2 weeks delivery time still seems feasible to me.

    The effect of sea almond leaves in aquaristics

    Some time ago I had collected some information in a German aquaristic forum about the use of Catappa leaves in the aquarium and the associated effects. You can keep spelling mistakes as a gift ;-) The sea almond tree, Terminalia catappa Linn, also known as the catappa tree, Indian almond, or...

    Fin “blister” growths on cacatuoides

    Hello Andrew, i would highly recommend you treat the fish in a hospital tank. Have you already tried Amazon as a delivery option, about Cyprinopur? With the propolis tincture I mean propolis dissolved in ethanol, in case you dare to remove the spots yourself with a scalpel and then disinfect...

    Hello from Germany

    Thanks. Good so far. ;-)

    Fin “blister” growths on cacatuoides

    This clearly looks like a veritable infection with Lymphocystis. I know the report of Roy P. E. Yanong, which Andrew has linked above, but according to my information these viruses can spread quite horizontally in the water and not only by direct contact from fish to fish, or contact with...

    ID confirmation please

    In my humble opinion, the comparison is misleading. If it is only a slight swelling, and as long as the fish still eats, I don't really see a sign of a disease problem, more of an adaptation problem? And if the fish does not accept food, then the problem is not due to adaptation, but probably...

    Hey from California

    ID confirmation please

    Without offending anyone, I would be interested to know how flatulence manifests itself in Apistogramma? Do you see bubbles rising? ;-)

    Hello from Germany

    Just arrived here and looking forward to sharing some information. My focus in aquaristics are fish diseases. ;)
