ok. now, since my main tank is only at 1.022 would it be ok to get my QT only to at 1.022 then add my fish back to my MT and have it increase in my MT??

i just measures my 60g display tank and my salinity levels are only at 1.022. ive been raising my QT salinty from hypo and im now at 1.016. are water changes the only way to increase salinty. I was originally taking display tank water to increase my salinity in my QT but it seems like its too...

THANKS for asking, my puffer is actually still in my QT. I believe he still has those spots but ive been improving my water quality daily. My goal is to get him back into my main tank since the water quality is very good in the main tank. Ive started raising the salt levels in my QT to get...

would a porcupine puffer and a humu humu trigger be ok for my 75 gal FOWLR setup? i havemy puffer in the tank now. he is about 3-4 inches. i will be adding a trigger about 2-3 inches. is this ok? will they get along ok?

i think you are right on track. the water levels havent been the greatest in my QT. the tank is 20gal and he is around 5 inches. he was in my main tank first 75 gal. he swims around a lot and still has a great appetite, does run into the glass a lot. if it's not ich, do you recommend i treat...

ok ive had my puffer in my QT under hypo for almots 4 weeks now. I thought he had ich so i treated him. Now im thinking its somnething else. 3 spots still remain on his fin, not necessarily white inb color. What could it be??? should i use antibiotics now and if so which ones???

hey beth, also elfdoctor mentioned i might have a secondary disease maybe something like tail rot. I have to admit the water quality hasnt been that great in my QT but im sure ive been at 1.009. If i still have some sort of infectiuon on my porcupine puffer what kinda antibiotics should i use...

IT'S HARD TO SAY. THE 3 DOTS ON THE FINS SEEM A LIL BIGGER THAN ICH THEY ARE KINDA CLUTTERED NEXT TO EACH OTHER. I CANT TELL BUT IT KINDA SEEMS LIKE THE DOTS ARE YELLOW. WHAT SHOULD I DO BETH? THIS WED WILL BE 4 WEEKS IN HYPO.

ok ive had my puffer in hypo for almost 4 weeks now. i still notice anout 2-3 spots on his side fin that are clearly visible and maybe a couple more less visible on his back fin. should all the ich die off by now? why does my fish still show slight signs of ich after almost 4 weeks of hypo. is...

if i did what are your comments? if i didnt what are your comments?

some people suggest not to feed, what about if it's in my QT, should i add a small piece of LR or does that not to anything??? any other suggestions?

thats a long time you sure? ;) I mean toxic levels of nitrite. not just from low levels to high levels, only the toxic levels of nitrite??? still 1-2 weeks?

just wondering how long does it typically take for nitrites to stay at peak levels before dropping and becoming nitrates during a cycle??? we talking days or weeks??

ok if i have a fish and he has ich, do I do hypo for 3 weeks from the day i saw it with ich, or do i have the fish under hypo for an unknown amount of days or weeks until no more signs of ich then keep track of the fish that is ichless from that point for 3 weeks under hypo???

i know i wouldnt do that i was just curious

i know i wouldnt do that i was just curious

can some fish live through a high nitrite spike while the tank is trying to cycle?

when my ammonia have reached 0 and my nitrites go from high levels back to 0 does this mean my tank has cycled?

so elf, are you saying if my fish was already sick with ich and i put him in my qt and it took me 3 weeks to get rid of the ich in hypo, i have to have him ichless in my QT for another 3 weeks? did i understand you when you say" Hypo needs to be treated for 3 weeks AFTER the fish seems better."...
