When you REALLY get into tanks it is a lot. Some of the people on this are really smart about tanks. I though I was doing good with my fish (because they are alive) but when you really get into it it's a lot of knowledge to soak in and it can make you feel like you don't know jack. Well I know...
Nope still don't know. I had so much going on in the tank at the same time. Oh goodness! One fish had red lines on his Gil's and fins. Then the picture I posted of the white spot. The one who got the salt looked like he had fin rot. I had another one that looked like his gills was gone on part...
I'm not telling you what to do. I'm just letting you know what worked for me. I did it that way because it worked when my fish got ick and that's the treatment i did and like you is was willing to do anything to save my fish. You can get kinda lost in what to do and what is it you are trying to...
Okay when my fish got sick about a month ago I did a lot if reading on what it was and how to treat it. I did what it told me to do on the box and it didn't help. It seem to make things worse. So I cranked the temp up and did 60 to 75% water changes every night with in a week my fish were...
First I'm new to plants and kinda new to tanks. I'm going to be changing my substrate to a sand substrate. I want to do plants in it. What type of low light plants would do best in sand and should I get something that will dig in the sand like a loach to stir up the sand so I don't end up with...
So if I have angels that are acclimated to the ph in my tank do they need it to be at the ph that fish requires before they spawn or will they spawn because they are acclimated to the water?
Only asking because that's when you know your fish are in the best quality water for them right?
Well I was thinking of changing out the water that's why I though it might cycle again. I need to get a test kit before I change the gravel out so I know if I'm having spikes.
I can see the poop in the tank anyways so it's not like it's going to hurt. I know if you put dirt in your tank you can't clean it as well and I like the clear look of a tank with out the color that the dirt is going to put into it. I've got drift wood that's been leached already. All I need are...
I've got one big Pleco that likes to move stuff around the tank. I have live plants also and I'm worried about it not feeding the plants. I got some diamond sand that is kinda bigger grains the most sand. I liked the way it looked and it was really cheep. I don't like the look of dirt but I've...
Alright thanks guys. That's what I had running through my head on how I was going to do it. Im worried about stressing the fish out too. I'm not going to do it right away Cus we just had something going on in the tank. Everyone looks fine not but I'm waiting for it to strike again. I just know...
If I change the substrate in my tank is it going to cycle again? I know the water is going to get really dirty with everything being kicked up so I don't think keeping it in the tank would be a good idea. I'm not sure how to do it but I want to go with sand now and not gravel. Should I just...
I've got a few gold fish in my tank and I know how fast they will eat ANYTHING. What I do to make sure all my fish eat is I went to walgreens and ask the pharmacist for a syringe for Tylenol or medicine for kids. (I don't use it for that tho) I'll take some Brain shrimp and put them in a...
