Okay. Do I need to do a 100% water change?

There are still fish in the aquarium

I am doing large water changes on other tank now but if it was in there it was in my filter and everything but I need my filter. I'm so lost. Do I just need to keep doing water changes?

I don't know what happened honestly but all my male fish died after moving them into their own aquarium! I cleaned a filter with a rag that was clean and put it on the tank to use as an extra filter with the filter I already had. Then the next day I turn my light on my tank in the morning and...

Yeah my pH from my tap water reads a 6.8-7 it is hard to tell the color though. I think I was misreading it when I gave you the original readings

Post #10 has no links and the ones you sent me with links have so much. What section are you referring to?

I really am still so clueless to how my fish are not dying with my ammonia that high. I might take two of my rules to my pet store and get them to test the ammonia in both my tanks and see if my test is just out. It isn't expired though. It expires 06/19

Thanks for the help from all of you! I will keep you posted on what is going on. I still need some advice on how I can raise the pH if my tap pH is low.

Oh and I'll look into some floating plants. Do Moss balls also help anything?

I usually do like 25-30% water changes weekly. I just did a 50% water change on both my tanks yesterday. And then technically my 10 gal got almost a full water change because I changed the water and put the filter back to work and it decided to leak out of it. So I had to clean up about 5...

I have removed a filter but it isn't a large filter. My dad used it for a large tank too though. I think it might have just been the filter. I went out yesterday and bought two new filters and have them both running on both of my tanks with the old filters for a few months. My water temperature...

Okay let me rephrase that, one fish had white spots. I treated the tank with all in one remedy. Fish with spots died. Second platy started hiding and sitting at bottom. It too, is now dead. All other fish are acting fine and no spots or anything.

Should I just change the water and not syphon the gravel?

I flush the filter with old tank water. I never run it under the tap. I don't understand why none of the fish seem poisoned. I clean the tank like once a week or if I have to once ever two weeks. It's a 50 gallon and I probably change about 25% of the water or more depending on how much I feel...

Yeah. I removed the filter that was on the tank for the least amount of time but it has enough to keep my small 10 gallon healthy. It has been off my tank for well over a month now so the filter I have should be building up more bacteria but it hasn't I guess. No fish are dying right now and...
