Thank you very much for the help.

And also what do you recommend for a species to clean the tank. I had a ghost shrimp but it was eaten. I was thinking a pleco?

They both seemingly swim close to the bottom as well.

I showed nitrates on the the first test that I took 7 days after introducing the fish. I was told to get live plants to nullify that. So I did and the nitrates dropped dramatically. I put 3 live plants two floaters and a potted one. I do read the instructions on the testing kits. I am trying...

Read both links, thank you for the insight. That is what I came here for is help to make sure I will be able to keep them for 7-10 years. Now the problem I just noticed after reading that is I think I have a male and a female. So most likely I'll be getting more acaras soon. So I have to get...

My only mistake was literally too many fish in one tank at a time. But the testing and cycles I did very thoroughly. My questions were literally about salt content for freshwater fish and live plants can you answer those questions for me. I like my fish better alive than dead also.

I clearly stated that it was cycled for 7 days before I even put fish in the tank. And again I only bought those tanks because I am purchasing a bigger 75 gallon tank this week. Which I will cycle for a bit longer than 7 days. Probably up to 30. And I've asked pet store associates and googled...

Where did I ask if you were selling your goldfish? Haha And yes my water is good, the cloudiness is from the initial bacteria bloom and the fish have been doing fine for 30 days after letting the tank cycle for 7days prior. So are you going to try and answer my 2 questions or are you just going...

I test my water once a week the ammonia levels are good. And I put them in a 6 gallon tank knowing I'm getting a bigger tank later on. And the max size for the fish I got are 2.5 inches and I feed once a day. And I've had the same fish for the same amount of time I had the acaras.

I started a tank about 30 days ago and haven't been completely successful. I have just a small 10 gallon starter tank and another 6 gallon tank also a 1.5 gallon tank. Yes I started them all the same week haha. I started the bigger tank with an electric blue acara and a regular blue acara all...
