I don't know why I have amonia and nitrates.
I have 3 Diamond tetras, 2 guppies, 2 glowfish, a red wag platy, a raphael catfish, a pleco, and a shrimp.
I think I need to get rid of the pleco right? Is it possible he is sucking the sllime coat off the fish? The problems seem to have started...

I currently have a 29 gallon freshwater tank that is set up with artificial plants. I would like to make it live plants. Is there a method to doing this without having to remove all the fish for a long period of time? I would like to maybe slowly convert it while leaving the fish in if possible...
When treating ICH with heat and salt, is the proper method raising the tank temp. to 86 degrees and adding salt everyday? How much salt per gallon and how often?
