Yeah i am purchasing a 75 gallon the bbl grows large as well

20 gallons 1 barb 50-75% water changes every Monday

I've noticed for the last few days my green tiger barb is spending a lot of time at the top of the tank but my red tail shark and black banded leporinus were still swimming around in their normal patterns. Earlier today I found my tiger barb dead in the tank :( I'm worried about my other fish...

I know it's still higher then normal but I'm just happy to see it go down!

They are between .50 and 1 ppm now

UPDATE: the Ammonia levels have finally dropped!

I haven't tested my tap water, i will do that. I've had my sharks since October and so far they are okay with each other so I will have to watch as they grow.

Oh and the ammonia stays at a constant 3.0 although I have been using a waste control chemical. The package does say that if you use a chemical it might still read high ammonia although it is no longer dangerous.

I've had my tank for about a month now; 25 gallon with two red-tail sharks, one green tiger barb, one black banded leporinus and two plecos (not sure which kind). My first filter broke on me so I bought a new one about two weeks ago. I did my weekly 25% water change today and then checked my...

Oh that's the problem then!! It tells me to change it every 3-4 weeks on the box so that's why i did it. How can I fix this now?

Its a 20 gallon tank with two red tail sharks, one tiger barb, one black banded leporinus. I changed the filter cartridge when I did the 30% water change 3 days ago. I've had the tank for a month and at first the levels were high but after a few water changes they stayed at 0.25. Then last week...
