Hi Miss Jessica. My name is James. I recommend that you use stress zyme in your tank to speed up the eco system in your filtration unit, this is the need bacteria for converting nastys in the water to fresh livable water. Creates healthy bacteria in the filter. I also suggest aquarium salt for...

Adding a pleco to a goldfish aquarium That is why I do not advise pleco's for a goldfish tank. Goldfish need their slime to protect themselves from infection and a pleco with adhere himself to a host rendering your pet near death. A store will not prohibit you from buying a fish of any species...

That is why I do not advise pleco's for a goldfish tank. Goldfish need their slime to protect themselves from infection and a pleco with adhere himself to a host rendering your pet near death. A store will not prohibit you from buying a fish of any species, or they lose revenue. Take out the...

Ok, there are methods that take care of your problem. First off you need to start out with a fully functional filtration unit so you can use healthy bacteria to remove not only the ammonia, but balnce your eco system, we do this with chemicals. First off, you should have in stock, ph down...

ok, that is indeed "ick". To ward this off will take up to two weeks, maybe before. You need to remove the charcoal from any filter, and use it for circulation of the water and medicene. You need to add aquarium salt according to instruction. I use 1 tablespoon for every 5 gallons of water. And...

Your filter has not set up yet. Hazardes to fish environment. I would pre-check your home water supply, It may be pre ammoniated.

Are you cleaning the inside glass with a scrubber ? It could look cloudy but it may be coming from slime on the inside. Is your tank cycled before adding fish ? I suggest aquarium salt-one table spoon to every 5 gallons, add stress zyme, if all fails, I use Aqueon brand water clairifier. Thanks...

Depending on your aquatic friends, ph 8.0 is really high unless you have Goldfish. However a high ph will make it hard to establish healthy bacteria in the filtration device. It needs to be in the 7.0 area, 6.8 is better for baterial growth. Bacteria needs to thrive in soft water. A 36 gallon...

I will honor your question regarding your interest. 1 The smallest tank I really suggest is a 3 - 10 gallon max size. A filtration device would be required to keep the water clean, this will not keep the water fresh, this is why all pro's and experts recommend water changes. The smaller the...

What is the size of your tank is first and foremost. This would be to powerful for a ten gallon tank as the water flow from the outlet would overflow the edge of the tank with water all over the floor at a constant rate.

Lack of oxygen, too much sunlight

Nice setup, however if you add more plants and non synthetic, your betta could potentially break off a scale and subject him to infection. Too many plants and you ruin the effect of natural environment.

Im here to help First off, you did not cycle the tank first, you could expidite cycling by adding stress zyme to a new tank, its not really for stress, its bacteria that helps establish a healthy aqurium with the healthy bacteria a new tank needs to be safe for fish keeping. We all must...
