Re: Please Help Featherfin with a cloudy eye
Would it be possible to keep more than one Synodontis in a 55 gallon tank?

Re: Please Help Featherfin with a cloudy eye
The eye is looking better, the iris is still a bit cloudy but improving. He has a couple superficial scratches on his side(I'm assuming from the new piece of driftwood in the tank, I had to put the smaller piece in the smaller tank for the clown pleco and a new piece in the top 10 gallon for the alb...

Re: Please Help Featherfin with a cloudy eye
The new tank now has gravel, the cave, a plant and an old filter cartridge from the established tanks. I have also been crumbling a bit of fishfood into powder and putting that in the tank. As I was arranging the gravel, cave, plants etc. I noticed there was a slickness/film on the rocks, nothing ma...

Re: Please Help Featherfin with a cloudy eye
Question, if the cave, which is "natural rock"-looking with all kinds of nooks and crannies, same with the floating log, will putting those decorations into the new tank also add a lot of BB to the it, since there is a lot of surface area on them that should have BB colonized? BEST THING: ...

Re: Please Help Featherfin with a cloudy eye
I would say the new tank is 2/3 full with water from the other tanks. The rest was well water. The gravel was from a 40 gallon I had when I was a teenager (half a lifetime ago)not new but not seasoned per say. I didn't put carbon in the filter, I had bought this huge pad of filter material that I ca...

Re: advice needed on keeping baby bristlenose.
Our local fish store has been getting a lot of baby albino bristlenose (1/4 to 1/2 long, barely)in lately and one thing they have been doing is keeping them in tanks with no gravel. That way the food is easier for them to find (and also for you to remove if it's uneaten). My albino is probably the a...

Re: Please Help Featherfin with a cloudy eye
Thanks guys! I ran out today and bought Leo his own 10 gallon tank. I got the el cheapo Tetra Aquarium kit on sale, but it's got a filter and a hood and a heater and it's fine for one fish. YES I know it's a temporary fix. But he's going in there ALONE with just his cave, a small plant, a bubblewand...

Please Help Featherfin with a cloudy eye
I have a six inch Synodontis Eupterus in a 10 gallon tank. Yes, I realize it's too small a tank, and yes, it gets worse. "Leo" is in there with 1 spotted loach, 1 clown pleco, an albino bristlenose pleco, 2 corys, 3 rosy tetras, 5 zebra danios, 1 pearl danio, 1 betta and 1 Sunset gourami. ...
