no driftwood... no new plants.. the bulb is really old.. like old as in like 10 years old .. its my moms old tank but it was in storage for most the years.. but it was clear water when i chaged water.. with the light off you can still tell its not clear water

my water turned like a yellowish dirty color? i just cleaned it a week ago or so.. what causes this? over feeding? my Ammonia and everything is fine.

Mine is about 10 inchs and bout a inch wide.. ive been feeding him night crawlers and than im sure he eats some one the blood worms that make it down to him that the other fish dont eat. what else can i feed him or is that the best thing to fed him? The ABF im feeding crickets... anything else...

thanks everyone!!

my tank is a 55... when i moved i put half the water in a new trash can... it was like 22 gallons.. so i got almost half the water saved.... my ammonia test is liquid..so ill have to invest in the other ones as well.. and yes silent night i have been..

i have all kinds... 2 angels, 4 tiger barbs, a tetra, 2 bella sharks, a frog, a cat fish, 2 skelton catfish, a britcher, loach... its been up for over a year now, but i have recently moved twice back to back about 3 months ago..

the test strips were about the same as before... nitrate and nirites are 0-low its between soft and hard on the hardiness... ph is still real low...

so i've had problems with my tank not cycling. the ammonia was BAD. i've been doing 50% water changes daily for about a week now and finally the ammonia is very very low if any(yayyyyy!). but now the water is getting foggy. is this a bacteria bloom? does that mean the cycling is almost over?

yes i have fish in there including the butterfly n they are all acting fine besides the butterfly.

So i put a forum up the other day for help with my tank, my test strips came up : nitrate - was high nitrite- was 0 hardness- is very hard alkalinity- very low pH- is very very low my my test lowest one is 6.4 but i think its lower than that ammonia- VERY high everybody told me to do 50%...

im using a bio wheel 350. wont doing 50% water changes slow down cycling tho? my pet store always told me just to leave it alone that it wont cycle if i keep changing the water.

Do real plates do anything? Or is it just for looks? Also Does any one know where to get cheap fake plants?

its been that way for like a month now... maybe longer.. i cannot get it to cycle... in my other forum they told me to do a 50% change to help with ammonia bcc 10% doesnt do anything...

nitrate - was high nitrite- was 0 hardness- is very hard alkalinity- very low pH- is very very low my my test lowest one is 6.4 but i think its lower than that ammonia- VERY high

yes unfortunately when i moved it messed it up and it still has yet to cycle and go back to normal...
