I feel bad that I only come here to get advice, but...everyone is so good at the advice. I had ich a few months ago, finally got that cleared up, added new stock, and now my male gourami has something wrong. I've had him pre-ich, so several months. I bought him as a dwarf cinnamon, but he's...

I'm looking for a pair of clown killies, and I'm willing to pay a pretty steep price for them. I am having an extremely hard time finding them ANYWHERE. Thanks! ETA: I live in Indianapolis, IN. Forgot to add that part :P

He gets fed once every three days. I was originally feeding him daily, but then he wouldn't eat so I'd make him wait and he gobbles on the third day. Will the brine shrimp + frozen blood worms + a pea be a good meal?

I tried feeding my betta those floating betta pellets and freeze-dried bloodworms, and he wouldn't take them. I switched to frozen bloodworms and he eats those fine, but from what I understand, they shouldn't be the only thing he's eating. I tried putting in small bits of lettuce and he totally...

I think I'm cycled- haven't changed the water in a week; I tested it and read 8.2 pH, .25 ammonia, 0 nitrites, and 20 nitrates :D

Back again...these are the numbers after the water hadn't been changed for 3 days (my own experiment, LOL, it's since been changed): pH: 8.2 Ammonia: <.25 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: > 20 The ammonia wasn't quite zero, but wasn't quite .25. The nitrate wasn't exactly 20, but wasn't 40.

@jlk: Awesome! I use Prime and do have the tank live planted because the plastic plants I had tore my betta's tail fin. I've got a java fern, anubias, a moss ball, and anacharis in there. I've been doing either one or two water changes daily for the past few weeks (depending on the amount of...

OKAY, just ran a test on the tap and the aquariun water. I'll do a water change after I get this typed out. TAP: High pH: 7.4 (possibly slightly higher) Ammonia: .25 Nitrite: Weird number...not quite 0, but definitely not .25 Nitrate: 20 AQUARIUM: High pH: 8.0 Ammonia: In between 0 and...

Sorry for the break in replying. Simply haven't had the time...): I did another water test just a few minutes ago, which was right after a 70% water change. I typically take out about 2 gallons now (it's a 3.5g tank). Levels are better IMO. High pH: 7.4 Ammonia: .25 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 20...

Yep, I know it's not :( I didn't take the time to cycle the tank- I had him in a bowl, so the night I got it, I set it up and put him in. I've been doing nightly water changes for at least a week and a half now (probably longer, I've been doing it every night since I was told to by members on...

High pH: 8.2 (I think) Ammonia: .25 ppm Nitrite: Between 2 and 5 ppm Nitrate: Between 20 and 40 ppm I haven't done my nightly 50% water change, but I usually do. Should I run the tests again a few minutes after I change the water? What do these levels mean? I take it most of them are bad. /:

Which would go comfortably in a 20g?

I want a Fluval Edge, but if I'm going to spend the money on it, I want to make sure I can actually keep fish that actually interest me...which, for the Edge, would either be a single dwarf gourami (I've only seen the powder blue, red fire, and regular "dwarf"), or a pair of rummy nose tetras...

This morning the water is cloudy- never has been before- and I think the temperature dropped to 77. Maybe 76.

That's what I read! (: I'm getting a bunch of anacharis tomorrow and I might just let it float. I can't find hornwort in stores though. Can there be too many plants? I kind of want to get a second, smaller moss ball, on top of the anacharis and possibly a second Anubias that's taller. If I can...
