Hey everyone I have just done my weekly waterchange. Straight after, i notice millions of little particles clouding the water. On further inspection. I noticed limescale on the back of the filter and on the airline. It seems to be millions of particles of dislodged limescale. When i did...

Could have 10 gallon either quaratine to breed or could get total different fish for it for a different style. Could even have a tank for invertebrates Only Sent from my HUAWEI Y360-U31 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Yeah adding that bacterial starter should be before adding fish.. I read you got your water tested by petshop and they said it was fine.... I would get them to check it again and give you the readings.. I am Guessing they didnt really know what to look out for... Ammonia may have been fine...

Hey.. Yeah petstore knowledge is poor but with the one i go into. If you ask questions then they answer them well... They just dont tell you anything without asking.. Because that person knows things they expect customers to know them.... Get a rundown of your readings on here if you can. 3...

Hey alysegonz. What was your readings. How long did it take for them to die. Also might be worth making your own thread as it may be a big thread Sent from my HUAWEI Y360-U31 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Ah ok well i would not bother putting the fish in for just cycling reasons... You will just stress the fish. .. Read up on fishless cycling. Sent from my HUAWEI Y360-U31 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hey sounds fine way to acclimatize... when you say 10 gallon is it a tall 10 gallon or a long one. Tall one will need an airline as the bottom will become stagnant. I know you say its for breeding but goldfish should be in a bigger tank than a 10 gallon really. ... The smaller size must be...

I know when i added my albino cories they flew all over the place. I fed them and they started playing in bubble bar and been fine since... I wouldnt panic and leave them overnight to see how they react Sent from my HUAWEI Y360-U31 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

If ammonia nitrites and NITRATES are all at nothing then there has been no cycle. My guess is that the syringe didnt work... I read fish food is best for nonfish cycling. Also when you put fish in the tank. How did you acclimatize them. .. Could be a sharp change in temperature... When first...

Hey kel1971 Here is a link you may find useful... http://www.fishlore.com/NitrogenCycle.htm It would indicate that as your 3 weeks in. Your nitrites being at 5 is because the cycle hasnt yet developed enough bacteria to turn to nitrates. I would stop doing water changes daily and let the...

Thanks for the info! Its very much appreciated. As for the snails i think the corys have eaten the one i left in there cos i saw them banging it with there helmet and now no sight of it... As you say though if i see any i will remove. As for plants i use plantamin (tetra) each waterchange...

Thanks for that.. I had presumed the white spong was ok to get rid of as it just collects debris. Thanks for that. I wont change again Sent from my HUAWEI Y360-U31 using Aquarium Advice mobile app
