Did any of them have ich, if you treated them for ich even though none had ich that is extremely unhealthy. And you also THINK it is fin rot and if you are wrong, that is also extremely unhealthy for the fish. Are you 100% sure you tank is fully cycled? What are you Parameters?

Probably because she might be ready to give birth

If you are able to read 0ppm Ammonia and Nitrite and have 10-20ppm Nitrate, You should be cycled and when I say spiked, I mean a whole 5ppm

There is nothing wrong with buying a fish online but first check there return policy. Make sure if your fish is dead or has a disease or has something about it that you don't like, that you have the ability to return it.

Yeah the gouramis I worry about but we will see how they do. I don't think it should be too bad because there is no female to fight over

I have: x2 Sunfire Platy: x1 Male x1 Female x1 Red Wag Platy: x1 Female x1 Lyre-Tail Dalmation Molly: x1 Female x2 Creamcicle Molly: x1 Male x1 Female x1 Powder Blue Dwarf Gourami: x1 Male x1 Fire Red Dwarf Gourami: x1 Male

I know right. 30 seconds for the second bottle and then 1 minute for the test tube.

Well Ive done Nitrite and Ammonia tests everyday since Sunday when I did the water changed and Ammonia and Nitrite have been at 0ppm

Well I had my Ammonia spike and I had my Nitrite spike and before I did my water change Sunday (when Nitrites hit 0ppm) my Nitrate was around 10-20ppm

Well I hate the Nitrate test because it is just a pain in the rear but from when I have done Nitrate test, there were Nitrates in the tank which means there a probably Nitrates right now

So yeah my question is pretty much the topic. Is CO2 injection required for planted tanks...will they live without?

Have you seen a Nitrite spike yet? If you haven't seen one you might want to suspect one because a cycle is never finished until you have had high ammonia and high nitrites

Too funny

So Sunday I did a water change after seeing my Nitrite level went down to 0ppm. I checked it yesterday and just right now today and the Nitrite and Ammonia level are still at 0ppm. I know I have Nitrates in it because I have performed 2 Nitrate tests awhile back. Seeing that I did my water...
