Hard to see the red things in the pic. Red gills are a sign of too much ammonia in the water, though.

EDIT:

I prescribe:

and looking at the growth on the aquarium sides, one of these:

RU, those wheels are super sexy! Interesting color on the Orbea. Almost like a boxcar red.

Razor do you have any water test kits? Ammonia and nitrites most importantly... that needs to be ruled out before you start dumping medicine in there.

The LFS will usually test your water for free. And medicine is the last thing I would do. Actually I don't think I would ever treat my display tank. If you could isolate him into his own tank then I would consider treatment.

Nice wheels, Ru!

On another happy note, I got in my first ride on the road in 2 weeks today. The roads were still wet and VERY gritty, but luckily only a few icy/slushy spots.

+1

Test and see where you stand. One wrong move and you could lose the whole tank.

Help?
Sent you a pm. My first question is always what is your water change schedule and what percentage of water do you change?

I had a great ride today. Weather was right around 40 degrees and it felt great. Ended up with 38 miles and had an average wattage of 207 watts for the first two hours. I'm happy with that kind of number this time of the year.

There's a tank at the office which the owner has really been neglecting of late. It bothers me, but I don't know how much to say about it because, you know, he's the owner.

Earlier I stopped by for a weekend feeding and decided to add more water to the tank because the water level has gotten low (again) and the pumps start having issues when that happens.

I propped up the five-gallon bucket by the upstairs sink and started filling it from the tap. Instead of waiting there I went in another room for a minute or two. When I returned I heard the water making a different noise. Uh oh. The bucket shifted after I left and the water stream was now not going in said bucket.

Whoops. Fortunately, quite a bit of it was captured in the trash can below, but still there was a lot on the floor.

Fishkeeping can be messy business.

Good news. Two weeks went by without any inquiries to my bike, and then this weekend I received 3 messages. One guy made a way low offer of $425, and got turned down. Another guy asked me what the lowest I would sell it for , I told him to make an offer. Another guy just asked if I could meet to show it. So, fingers crossed that I'll sell it this week and pick up the new bike

I don't think the fish would care for any of it. Plus, delivery into their tank is a problem.

Have you ever been rebuffed by a BikeForums member? I made a special overture to someone here and thus far have no response to show for it. Perhaps this post will shame said member into action.

I've never seen Sweet Child butchered that bad. Fergie is an absolutely terrible singer.

My opinion is they had to use all those lights and all that crap to combat the suck that the Black Eyed Peas were going to bring to that stage.
