I don’t think it’s the water chemistry because one of my ottos came from the same place and they are fine. I also have some cherry shrimp and ghost shrimp in another tank from the same place. I don’t alter my water parameters and I keep up with water changes. I just find it odd that it all...

Dying fish I couldn’t see anything physically wrong with the first few fish but the ram that died last night had Popeye and one pencilfish was bloated. The only things in the tank that don’t seem to be affected are the ottos and dwarf gourami. Someone commented that blue rams need a temp of...

I’ve had my 29 gallon going for a little while now and it was doing great. It’s stocked with 3 blue rams, 9 pencilfish, 3 ottos and 2 dwarf gourami and a black mystery snail. Ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 5. Ph 8. Everything was doing good until I added 6 rummynose tetras 4 days ago. One of them...

Dying fish My 29 gallon has been cycled and doing great until I added 6 rummynose tetras a few days ago. One of them died that evening and the rest died one at a time the next day. Now the other fish that have been in the tank for a month are also dying . There is nothing visibly wrong with...

Great tank Great looking tank. Is that seiryu rock or dragon stone? I’m just about to set up my 29 high and thinking about putting Seiryu rock and driftwood in it. I have a piece of Malaysian driftwood but not sure if I like the looks of it with the Seiryu.

Yes, exp. 3/2022. The two tests came together in a box. I tested my tanks and my tap water. Someone told me I needed to boost the gh but I don’t really know how. I saw somewhere to use seachem equilibrium to raise it.:confused::confused:

Seiryu Can I raise my gh with equilibrium? My tap water and both my other tanks all read the same gh.

How do I raise the gh?

I’ve been getting ready to set up my old 29 gallon for a South American cichlid tank. I have the substrate and have plants coming in today. I bought some Sieryu rocks for it that I thought would be ok but now I saw somewhere online that they will raise the ph . My tap water has a ph of 8, gh is...

29 gallon I’ve got my two little tanks going good, now I want to set back up my 29 gallon. I want a planted South American cichlid tank . I ordered some Sieryu rocks that I thought I could use . Now I’m seeing that it will raise my ph. My water has a ph of 8 straight out of the tap. The gh is...

Dropsey I’m using Kanaplex but since I couldn’t find it anywhere but online it took awhile before I could treat him. I’m not sure if he’s going to make it. I’ll be giving him his third dose today. They say ,no more than three doses. Look it up and it will tell you how to use it.

My 5 gallon I started cycling this tank on 5/3/19 and it was fully cycled on 5/16/19. It looks so much better with fish in it.

Cycled 5 gallon My 5 gallon is finally cycled. It’s not a very good picture but at least there’s fish in it now. I decided to put a female betta in it and three white clouds. There’s also 2 nerites in it.

I am cycling a 5 gallon fish less tank and need to know how to top it off after evaporation. Can I add prime to the water or just let the water sit out overnight? I don’t want the water to get too low for my heater.

Betta tank Thank you, I hate that he’s in such a small tank but he doesn’t seem to mind. I’m cycling a 5.5 right now and he’ll go in it if I can just get through this cycle. It was my daughters tank, she told me it was a 10 but it’s not.
