Hello everyone. Thanks for everyone's help for my previous threads. Now I need advice on what to do with my current population of fish. My tank is just over a month old and is nearly cycled. Ammonia and nitrite are nearly 0 and nitrates are going up. I started with 2 molly fish and 2 guppy...

I haven't got my hands on it yet but it is coming with everything included. It is very much dry and looks decommissioned to my eye. I can't imagine it has run for a long time. So I'll make a new thread once I get it and assess what it comes with. Thank you for all your advice I really do...

So the lady with the 20 gallon tank has responded finally and I will be buying it and setting it up. Any advice on how to transfer to the new tank? I don't want to stress the Mollies out. I also want to keep the water cycle that I have started going apposed to starting a brand new cycle. The...

Believe me I'm annoyed with this store. The guy who sold me the fish and the tank said they would be ok together and to do a fish in cycle. I'm pretty sure I just have mean Mollies. I really hope this person I'm talking with about this 20 gallon tank works out and I can transfer them and some...

I forgot to mention that the guy at the LFS said this variety of molly we bought will get to 4-5 inches long. So pretty much the max of this tank. Is that a bunch of nonsense and I can just add more Mollies and be done with my problem? I am in contact with someone selling a 20 gallon tank which...

So over the course of a few days I have gone from 4 fish (2 guppy 2 molly) down to just 2 Mollies. My wife, daughter, and I went away for a couple of days and had my sister in law look after my tank. When she got there on our first night away everything was fine and dandy. Then when she went...

What kind of floating plant would you suggest? I love having live plants in the tank. My LFS is having a big sale on plants and fish soon so it's the perfect opportunity to pick one up

Here is a picture of the tank. Since this picture was taken the castle has moved to the right and a purple cave/mountain decoration has been put in thr middle. I put the bubble stone under the octopus on the left

I have read about the gasping for air behaviour but I'm not sure they are. Sure their mouths open a little here and there but they aren't just staying one spot opening their mouths wide and their gills flaring out. But then again I really don't know what I'm looking for. How high should the...

They both eat like Champs. I unfortunately don't have any other testers besides ammonia. I am saving up for the master test kit. Which is 50 bucks vs the 19 dollars for just the ammonia test, which is very irritating. There are lots of places to hide including the two crypt plants, a little...

Hello everyone. I have a newer tank (approx 1 week old, 10 gallon with a HOB filter and heater). Was sold tank and idea of waiting a day and using conditioner and bio start liquid stuff to add fish on second day. I know now that a fish out cycle would have been better but here we are. I have...

Hello, this whole journey started with my wife and I getting a fish tank for my 2 year old daughter. We have had the tank for about a week now and I am completely hooked on this hobby. My wife is pretty sick of me constantly researching how to best take care of my daughters new best friends. I...
