Yeah I figured they could be. My betta comes to the surface every time I come in the room in hopes of getting food...my tetras just havent figured out that im not trying to kill them i guess lol Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Im obsessed with water and I love the creatures that live in it. And I love supporting life in general...be it dog, fish or plant. Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

So I have a 10g setup with 6 ember tetras. And I notice that every time i come in the room, they jet to the corner and stay there until I leave. Any idea on how to train a fish to not hate me? lol. I can train dogs..probably not fish lol. Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Sweet. I put my embers in last night and they LOVE the extra company. I put the 2 extra ghosts in last night too but one died this morning. Thats the only thing that sucks about ghosts...the terrible conditions they are kept in prior to getting them Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice...

Lol awesome! in a way im glad my lfs gave me terrible advice bc it gave me an excuse to upgrade a little bit. The embers are a lot more lively now and its awesome to see them like that...itll be even better once i get the other ones in there. How are the cherries as cleaners? My ghosts pick at...

Yeah i was thinking that maybe the gravel/current got him. Looks a little worse today so ill check out the stress coat. Any negative affect on the water with it? I dont like putting stuff in unless i absolutely have to you know? Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I guess this was just another case of me worrying too much lol. Thanks guys!

Hey guys, Unfortunately I recently followed some bad advice from a LFS employee and am working to correct my mistake. I had a 5 gal with a Betta and 3 ghost shrimp...and the lady told me that ember tetras would work well, which they do. Unfortunately she told me that 3 was plenty for a school...

Hey guys I was just wondering if this looks like fin rot. This is a betta in a 5 gal tank. I do a 20% pwc every Sunday and vacuum the gravel. I rarely overfeed, and if i do so mistakenly, I siphon MOST of it out. Parameters are 0 ppm ammonia/nitrite and 5ppm nitrate. He seems fine, normal amount...

Alright cool. Gonna look into the coral early this week. Checked my numbers early today after yesterday's 50% pwc and still no change. Ugh. I just want a good environment for my future froggies lol.

Hey guys, I'm on the 23rd day of my fishless cycle, and I've been having a little trouble lately. About a week ago, my tank was consuming ammonia pretty rapidly, and I would regularly redose up to 3-4 ppm. Obviously this means that my nitrite levels were pretty dang high, so I did a 50 percent...

Got my liquid kit the other day. Ammonia is dropping pretty fast but nitrites are still off the charts, even after a 50% pwc. Turns out the strips were wrong, and there are no nitrates in the water. I'm gettin' there! Thanks for the help

Awesome. I got home today and the ammonia is now reading 0.25 ppm, with the nitrites and nitrates practically off the charts. I just completed a 50 percent pwc to help get those numbers down to measurable levels. I'm also gonna redose the ammonia to 4 ppm. When I tested the pH after all of...
