Thank you both. I've started testing kh and gh for and am currently in a middle ground of ideal ranges for all 3 species. As for the one shrimp that I could identify a deformity on: he's dead. I took him out and did a salt dip as its kinda hard to find information on shrimp diseases and the...

Hello, I have a 5g tank that has been up and fully cycled for a couple of years now. Just recently, I switched it from a betta tank to a shrimp tank. (picture below). A few months ago, I bought 9 shrinp 3 blood reds, 3 blue ones (forgot real name), and 3 gold backs. Since then, they have been...

So I wanted some taller plants for the shrimp to hide in in my betta tank and I remembered a local lake was having problems with what I assumed was hornwort so I decided to go over there and grab some instead of going to my LFS and buying it, I got it, got back, and cleaned them with a mix of...

Hi guys I have this betta who has been in a clean and cycled comunity tank for around 6 months without issue and without any other fish getting sick. But recently she started sitting at the bottom of the tank and breathing heavy. I tried to feed her and she ate like she normally did then went...

Almost a Week late still no smell. The cat couldnt have gotten to him either so ur probably right that he jumped and I never smelt him. There is a little space between the lid and edges of tank (though it must have been a very tight fit). from the sounds of it I need to move the 6 dollar rock...

I was thinking that at first but I have a glass lid on the top and if it had jumped out I would have smelt it by now.

Hi guys below I posted a picture of my 5g tank. It's completely cycled and I recently bought a betta, nerite, and an assain snail. One the first day everything went fine and then on the second day I got the betta to eat. He was looking good and healthy then the next morning I wake up and hes no...

Hi guys I have a 20g cycled tank that been up for a couple years now with adequate stocking and recently my corydora stopped moving alot and got a huge bump in its stomach. Its fins are currently clamped and its nose Brussels are broken (have been for a while, probable because of the gravel...

78 is on the higher side but should be fine for the fish mentioned. they will get used to it and be fine in it though. changing the heater isnt nessicary

Cartridge change = bad, period stop. Water clarity will come after cycle is over and has nothing to do with clean filters if your extremely worried about water clarity you can put some filter floss (100% polyester filling) right in front of the intake on your filter. This will clean your water...

Your tanks gonna be cloudy for a while it's not a bad thing it's just the bacteria growing, just gotta deal with it until it works itself out. The only parameters that matter are amonia, nitrite, and nitrate. Dont worry about ph and phosphates unless your trying to do something advanced like...

Prime is soposte to smell like sulfur you shouldnt be using enough that you smell it after its added to the tank though

Same have tried it multiple times only to get the same results. Too fragile imo

Chemicals should not make that smell. If you have a basic HOB filter you should be able to pretty easily get into the motor. If you can, make sure theres no substrate, skeletons, or hair in it. if your motor is being blocked it will make a louder noise and the flow would be slightly slower but...

5 mollies will give you 20 mollies in a couple months if your tank has alot of decorations/plants so be careful on that and I also agree with the previous post that corydoras should be in larger schools, but at the same time when I got my corydoras I got 6 and 5 died within a couple months, 2...
