I don't mind the time, it's just I'm unable to move too much water on my own due to recent surgery, but thankfully the frog is pretty cute so everyone wants to help out XD Are there any other things to avoid or keep in mind? Haven't really had an amphibian before. It is a lot of fun though...

Still having ammonia issues, doing Water changes every day, did a major one yesterday and another one today, ammonia is reading lower but is still at 0.5 ( before it was nearly off the API test kit color chart) I've been using about 1.5 ml of Prime and have been using Stability. I've also...

I mentioned the bugger a few weeks back when talking about my guppy tank, and am now happy to say the tadpole has fully morphed into a frog! Not entirely sure on species yet. My brother-in-law knows a professor that specializes in frogs, so we should be able to get a more enducated guess in the...

You guys have any good and reliable resources (books, websites, ect), brands, or the like dealing with making plaudariums? I'm still a decent time away from needing one, but I would like to make sure I have something ready to go for the tadpole I have. I believe they are a northern leopard frog...

Pretty happy with my wee little horned nerites, they are fun to watch zoom around. I was more concerned about the Malaysian live bearers, as I know they reproduce like crazy, but it was the only thing I can think of that would not only clean the crawdads tank but also feed him and was easier...

Thank you for your reply. I'll keep an eye on my levels. Sent from my VS880 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have recently lost my favorite jerk of a snail nerite (loved to hang out right above the waterline so it was sometimes a bigger to find him to do a head count) and got a few horned nerites to replace them in my ten gallon brackish. These are significantly smaller than the previous one. So I'm...

Haven't they been introduced into places in Papua New Guinea where they have proceeded to multiply like crazy, over grazing some plants native species use for breeding/shelter, and have began eating just about everything when they are out of plants? Only time I've actually seen pacu in person is...

Yeah, that's what I thought about the corys... The main reason I brought up the breeding because I do have a brackish tank as well XD. I did get some trumpet/love bearing snails for the crawdad, should I set up a breeding tank for them so I can have a constant supply for him? I know they breed...

If I'm not mistaken, can't Pacu get to be quite sizeable, like bigger than yours sizable? From what I do know about them is they (IIRC) are Amazonian fish that are vegetarian relatives of the piranha that feeds mostly on nuts. I don't know how exactly big yours is but to my relatively novice...

Would one nerite and one mystery snail work? I'll be putting one nerite back into the brackish tank after I switch over to just one filter. The main reason I want a different snail is to reduce the chance of eggs. Though I suppose I could get two and let them chill in the tadpole tank and see...

I say possible because of tank size being the limiting factor. (which is the main reason I ask, tank size) I have a (as far as I know) northern leopard frog tadpole I adopted from work. I clean out any uneaten greens at least 2 times a day but I know I cannot get everything. I was wondering if...

It needs to be marine salt, AFAIK. And if memory serves you'll add about 1 tablespoon per gallon. From what I hear it's recommended to let the salt disolve into the water over 24 hours, but if it is well mixed I believe the minimum sit time is a hour. This is just stuff I've based my own...

Apologies for double post, it seems I cannot edit my previous post. Or I am possibly very blind and didn't see the button staring me in the face. Updates though! Post water change the API master test kit says nitrItes are 0-.25 ppm and nitrAtes are 5 ppm. Ammonia is still 0. Put some filter...

I usually put in about 1 ml or a tad more, as I don't feel the slight raise from post water change last night I would consider an emergency :P I have the test kit, I'll not be home till tonight late, but I'll probably do another water change like last night, probably do only about a %30 change...
