Another dead one. Any help would be appreciated. Looks like I am about to lose my aquarium.

Another dead fish!!!!

My tank is a 30 gallon freshwater. It is cycled. I followed the guide to fishless cycling. It took 2 months to cycle but have only had fish in it for around 3 weeks. Have not done a water change since the three weeks the fish have been in there. I have silk plants, a petsmart stump and sand for...

New to all of this but what could be going wrong? I have 12 platys and 2 have died in two weeks. Just took a close look and looks like I have 2 fry though. What do I need to do????

I am also pretty sure I have two prego ones!

well my first batch was 1M and 4F. My second batch I am not really sure. From what I can tell my ratio is off now. It looks like 5M 6F. The lady at the pet shop didn't pay much attention this time.

I have a 29 gallon freshwater aquarium. I used eco's fishless cycle and it worked great! Cant say enough good things about they guy. I now have fish in it and am worrying I have over stocked. I have 11 platys in it now. I do not plan to add anymore fish beside an algae eater if need be. My tank...

Got back and checked my aquarium and my filter was not running. I have no idea how long it had not been working. I wiggled the intake hose around and it started working again. Looked like about 50 to 60 of my filter media had dried out. Like I have said before I have a lot of bubbles going in my...

OK got my one piece of uncooked shrimp and pantyhose. So I'm just placing it in my tank in some pantyhose and forget about it till I get back right?

Holy cow!!!! He gave me his entire filter. He said he has like 7 layers of filters and he gave me the oldest one! It is huge too. I had to stuff it in my filter canister. How do I need to start testing now? The same as normal???

Heck it should be healthy. The only thing I have done to it is add ammonia.

OK. I have a buddy bringing me filter media from his tank that he has had for a loooong time. Will it still be OK to put it in you think?

No its not getting light that I can tell. I keep my aquarium light off. I am using ACE ammonia janitorial strength formula. I have not been adding fish food. My decor consist of silk plants, stump from petco, a old ornament I had in an old aquarium that was dried out (I cleaned well before...

Hey man. No it looks like its not coming off very easy. I pulled my filter out and it looks like my white filter is kind of a orange/rust color. My aquarium does also have an odor coming from it.
