Re: Sick swordtail
They're probably under stress. It may be that that they've come from poor stock, or that the tank is too small (I would only keep them in a tank that was longer than 3'6"), or a combination. I notice you've raised the GH to 12, so that should be ok for them - how are the other fish? Are they sh...

Re: Feeding fry in a community tank
Just powder up some granules or whatever you use until they're about 3/4 inch long.
I have small protein granules for the smaller corys, so that seems to be ok as well.

Re: Hi! New and confused
I would suggest putting the test tubes on a sheet of white paper to cut out the darkness of the surface. 
The only time the ph will drop is when it's soft(ish) water, and then you don't want it to go below 6.2.

Re: Electric Blue RAM with a spot
The hard water won't be helping - blue rams are very fussy about water, it must be soft, and the temp needs to be at least 27C. The cory would also do better in softer water, but really needs it a bit cooler than the ram. I suggested those meds as they aren't harsh for starters. If you had labyrinth...

Re: Electric Blue RAM with a spot
It looks like fungus, normally a secondary infection, on the ram. What's the hardness of the water? I'll suggest a first attack of Melafix and Pimafix together which will lower stress, help regrowth and help clear the fungus. You may need a stronger fungal med afterwards, or a bacterial med to clear...

Re: In The Shallows
That's a shame, may be there'll be some from the fry?
