What's with the whoa................are they some kind of special fish?

OH man!!! What will they come out with next eh? A tank that can float in the air? lol If only I had $27,000 tp spend. Still waiting to win the lottery.

Hey all, I just got this cichlid today and I'am not sure what kind it is? I think its some kind of hybrid. It kinda had the shape of a jack dempsey. Can anyone help me? tks. http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk45/su...me/100_0755.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk45/su...me/100_0746.jpg

Now this is a thread I can relate too. I have kept blood parrots,bubble gum parrots and I even have a king kong parrot fish. I have had a few die on me and it is sad to see them go because they have such caracter.

:welcome:

Too bad they looked like a good size.

:welcome: TO ALBERTA AQUATICA.

Those are some outstanding pics and fish.

It sounds to me more like over stocking and possibly under filtering. How many fish did/do you have in there? What type of filtration are you using. Everytime I have gotten ich, all I did was a 50% water change, a temp increase to 84, and added salt as per prescribed methods already given. I'm more inclined to think that maybe it's not ich that your fish have, but rather a type of velvet that seems to be becoming more common lately with some of the imports. What was the last fish you added, and how did you do it? It's been a few days and there have been no deaths and the parrot fish that was covered from head to fin is now okay he looks okay and everyone is swimming around. I'am still adding salt. Hmmmmmmmmmm........The last fish I added was two bubble gum parrot fish. Do you think they could have been the problem?

Very funny....lol Well my freinds brothers store hidden reef was closeing down so they had a 50% off everything in the store sale. He had one for $150 I think it was about 8inches or so. I went to go check it out thought it was cool. Went home thought about it but I did not buy him because I just moved into a small condo D/T van city If I got him it would meen I would have to buy another tank. I don't have room for another tank......just the wall tanks I bought which I still have to go pick up. Plus they do grow to fast........maybe oneday :shifty Oh and as for the guy shipping to canada it did not work out. I'am glad that I did not get one............at least not yet maybe in a few years.

:welcome: :welcome: :welcome:

Thanks for all the comments. Well................just had a convict die today. Just wondering one of my small parrot fish is covered from head to fin in ICH. Do you think he has a chance? Then my other convict does not look so good too. The remaining fish have NO visible signs of it so I think they will be okay. Man with all the fish I lost it seems like half the population of the tank was never there.

Hmmmmmmmm................maybe you could keep one in a 80,000g tank.

:welcome: :welcome:

Very nice pic of the snake. A few years ago I had a king snake but then I had to give him away. Nice pic the colours are very nice!

There are tons of fish stores out here. Here is a list of some places most of them have websites so you can just google the store names to get exact direstions and what not. I'll just tell you what area they are in. Petland superstore (langley) fishworld (langley) fishworld (surrey) tims aquatics (surrey) Rogers aquatics (delta/surrey) Big Al's (richmond) Big Al's (burnaby) King Ed's (burnaby)- 50% off f/w fish and 30% off s/w fish. Hidden reef (abbotsford)- Big sale 50% off everything in the store. Pets beutiful (D/T) The Pet Boutique (north vancouver) Rain forest pet spectrum (north burnaby) fraser aquarium (vancouver) These are just some places off the top of my head. There is more but I think these places are the best.

Looking good.

THanks for the comments. I don't think I will use the 20g because like you said there might be even more problems. Okay so this is what's going on right now: I woke up this morning and found my two blackfin sharks dead.................not good I really like those guys. :cry: :cry: So far I have lost three fish. The first fish I lost was a jellybean parrot fish. I might try that jungle parasite gaurd. Gobies said I should treat before it is visable. Well The remaining fish have no visable spots of them so I might be able to start treating and save them. The fish that have already died really did not mean any special value but The remaining ones do so I have to try and save them. Lets hope something works!!!

JUST AN UPDATE: Thanks for the comments. Things are not good. I just lost a fish tonight and it looks like I might loose two more. I have tried everything and it just keeps getting worse. I have an empty 20g I looks like three or four fish have it really bad should I set up this 20g for these guys. What to do what to do. Any more Ideas?

5tbs for every 5gallons and it is a 40g. Raised temp up to 80. Started it wednesday.

So a few days ago I noticed that one of my fish have ich on it. I got some edvice that I should add aquarium salt to the tank and raise the temp. So I did that and IT DID NOT WORK!!!! More fish have it know and I'am in some real trouble now. IS there any treatment for ich,something that can get rid of it fast. I was thinking of doing a water change,should I? But like I was saying is there any treatment for it.!?!?!!!!!

Hey that looks really good. I like your stand and the fish on it. Where did you get that background for your tank?

:welcome:

:welcome: :welcome: :welcome: Nice tanks and fish.

Looks good. :thumbs:
