I really appreciate this repy!
Let me reply in kind and hope you (or others will do the same!)

I'm running a cycle here, as you know. Since the ammonia dived and the nitrites prevailed, I have done 15% water changes every other day.

My books say the "high-ammonia" stage of the cycle is more toxic ...

Will do! Hoping to find some folks with catfish in Switzerland and neighbouring France!

This helps most wondrously!!

Thanks, jb

Yeah, that's what ich has always looked like on other fish. But i wondered if this was an early appearance. It has not grown in the last couple of days. But it's still there. Nitrites remain real high in the tank as it cycles.

Gecko, despite his size, spends a lot of time under cover. Even if I had ...

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried there and don't find it. Oh, well. Guess I don't need to "chat", anyway!
Maybe if Dell ever figures out how to build my new computer ...

Who can tell an old man how to do this?

I've got lots of photos, but none so small.

I even see "video-type" avatars. All in 16 kb???

How do I do this?

I really need some help here!

I've tried several times to join the chatroom.

I repeatedly get a message of "MS Runtime Error" and "Debugging Required"

Then I get the MS De-Bugger and closing it closes the Website access.
So, does this happen often? Do I have a particular problem ( I am located in France; the temperature here ...

I'd be surprised if you could tell with that! I don't know what people use to make these nifty aquarium fish photos I delight in finding on the Web, but my camera sure won't do it!

This may seem a dumb question to those more experienced, but I am dismayed. "Gecko", our common pleco (L021/L023), is our favorite fish. We didn't know when we bought him that he would get so big and we just bought a 190 litre tank 2 weeks ago to give him a "better" home. It may have been a mistake ...
