Aug 2, 2021 · I’ve noticed all of my fish (1 Bolivian, 3 Platies, 5 Cory’s) flash at some point or another. None have any visible signs of parasites, infections or injuries and are swimming and eating fine. They’ve been through rounds of Ich-X, Paracleanse and PraziPro. I haven’t done the other med on the Trio because they exhibit no signs for it.

Oct 7, 2021 · The tank has been around for a little over a year. Most of the fish came from Petco within the first month I had the tank cycled. All the fish flash, often multiple times in a row. I didn’t have a quarantine tank at the time. Actually, I forgot my common pleco, that’s the only one I never saw flash. I do 25% change at least weekly.

Sep 16, 2024 · 4 years in, catching fish is still one of my least favorite parts of the hobby. That being said, catching fish now is much less of a hassle than the first few times I did it. 2 nets, 1 net and your hand to guide the fish into the net, etc. and …

Dec 18, 2024 · Fish get tired, they don't like bright lights or flashes. The longer you go, the harder it gets. Start with slow fish/shrimp. Things like plecos, otocinclus, shrimp, corydoras. This can help you dial in your light, settings on the camera. Learn to wait for the fish to be where it'll look good. I watch people chase a fish around the tank.

Nov 27, 2023 · Thanks for sharing your experience. These guys are already on my list of one day fish. I can imagine their aggression as parents bcoz when I was searching for their care back in the days, I came across a video where they try to clean the glass and the fish bite the owner so hard she asks her partner to keep doing the cleaning.

Feb 19, 2021 · I have a tank with ember tetras and cherry shrimp. I wanted to see if there are any suggestions to get the fish fed better.
