    Maximum pH delta with drip acclimation

    I'm finding conflicting reports of how much of a pH swing freshwater fish should be able to withstand, or at least the rate of acclimation they can stand. Say going from 7.5 to a different tank that's at 6.5, what would be a reasonable amount of time for drip acclimation to avoid any shock or...

    yeah I think the first circle on the left is probably the ovary, the second circle is the heart. She was just so small that I had trouble not scrambling everything when I tried to open her carefully

    So I euthanized her and did the dissection. I found a bunch of yellow nodules, but I'm thinking those might have been eggs? I took pictures but they weren't fantastic.

    I found an old microscope at my parents house, so once I figure it out, I'll put her down and take a look.

    Looking for White Gold Apistogramma Cacatuoides

    Are those leucistic albinos? Or are they a different color morph or cf cross? I'm sorry, I'm just curious.

    These are from a pretty well known breeder, they probably caught whatever it is through a hitchhiker on a plant.. Not going to try anything, if she gets better, she gets better. If not, I put her down and... cut her open?

    This is fun. So she was with him and has been fine, but now the left half of her head has 3 swollen sensory pits.

    Geez. I couldn't handle seeing him like that for very long. So how likely is it that I need to euthanize the tankmates? What if the tankmates have come into contact with other fish?

    That is a nice looking corydora. I especially like the the substrate with it, looks great.

    Thanks for this. I always worry when I have a fish go with a bent spine, but now I can at least do a spot check on them. Hasn't happened in any of my apisto tanks, usually only platys, white cloud minnows or sparkling gouramis

    He didn't respond to any medication, but he never got better or worse. Was active and hungry the whole time. Then his head started to deteriorate on the 18th and I euthanized him. It was no good, I walked in and he swam up like he usually did, begging for food, yet half his face was gone. Did...

    So I've been treating with metro and 75% water changes, it doesn't seem better. I couldn't get a good shot, but I took video - http://flic.kr/p/fjCaSg As you can see, he has a large bump on the middle top of his head and 2-3 bumps to each side of the head. Other fish are still unaffected...

    Thanks. I don't think it's HITH either. How would I go about treating this? Maracyn I & II combo?
