Name one Brett and the other Axle Rose:eek:

Boys have a pointy anal fin, the girls have a fanned one.

If you look under them the males look like they have a skinny, solid fin underneath them ;)

The on in the bowl looks female to me, not to sure because the bowl makes it look weird :P

Have fun if you have males and females!

My fish have ick :(

I bought that stuff that turns the water green. I did my first dosage today and it says to repeat in 48 hours. How many times do I need do repeat the process?

Turn your heater up. 85 degrees usually kills the parasite.

Add salt.. Freshwater salt. Salt helps the fish relax and heal faster.

Get a copper based medicine such as Coppersafe by Mardel.

Its not recommended to do a lot of water changes during treatments. Typically, you want to do the treatment, most ask for the medicine to be re added to the same water in 2 days without a water change. In 7 days.. do a partial water change. During this time, take the carbon out. The carbon will deactivate the medication. After the 7 days, if the symptoms haven't gone away, do it all over again until its all gone.

This website has some good info.

Understanding and Treating Ich or White Spot

Just an update, all my fishies survived the ick! I had one casualty, well I think I did, because one of my male sword tales is totally MIA. Not sure if the tetra, the molly, the female sword tale or the pleco ate him, but he is gone :(

I am now a back yard fish breeder! My red eye tetra had a baby! :D

My fish just had a drop the other day! It's okay, were both backyard fish breeders!
