Well they were mad at first when I did the water change but about 2 hrs later they are no longer clamping or brushing on decor

Not sure if u seen my reply. I’m still getting the hang of this. Just did a 50% water change and it cause my ph to crash. I don’t wanna use a ph up or down. Idk what to do at this point. Unless when u say don’t worry about ph u mean all aspects of it.

My ph is 8.0 coming out the tap. The water mix causes the drop before adding to the tank

50% water change it is. Off to the store I go. Ok well I shouldn’t worry about the ph crashing when I add my water because of the fact that it always stablzes? My temp is always good but I feel they go into ph shock if I change too much water at once cause it drops the ph from 8.0 way down to...

Ok here is the story with this tank. The filter is new. This tank is only started oct 10 and the filter was started the 15th .I messed up and bought fish before learning a dang thing. Originally had 14 thrown in a ten gallon. Yes yell at me. I had to buy the 29 gallon. I’ve been battling ammonia...

Changing color You are all awesome. Thank you for your help and time. Most importantly to me is his happiness. We have only had him 2.5 days and he is already changing color. From blue to like an emerald green. It’s staring at his body and working its way out. He is super active and eats 5-6...

Yea makes complete sense. He already doesn’t like seeing himself in the reflection. I guess I could look it up but I don’t hear about a boy with a girl or two very often. Reason why?

Sorry it’s a ten gallon

Just got this guy yesterday after losing one on Sunday. Will he be happier with or without friends?

In other news my Black Molly in my 29gal just gave birth. I just went on a rescue mission I’ve saved the only three I’ve seen so far

Very sad news. I’m just lost cause the pleco seems perfectly fine. I took him out and plan on cleaning the tank and starting again. Any suggestions on how to clean it and any suggestions on my tap water issue with the high nitrate would be appreciated. Could I go like half tap and half...
