Thanks for the help so far. Unfortunately my angel started clamping her fins again and now it's been 7 days since my last water change and has been about 4-5 days of constant ph levels - 7.2. I'm not sure why she's doing this. She also has new behavior. After she ate, she clamped her anal fin...

I had my water tested and they got the same results 0 KH. The fish (angel and rasyboras) look happier and I haven't noticed my angel clamping her fin lately. Maybe it's because the PH has been more stable for a few days after the water change. As for the Ammo-lock, I've read from multiple...

So I use the test strips just like they use at the store. They test water using test strips. My strip said 0 KH and 0 nitrite and nitrate. I have the API kit and used that and it doesn't test KH levels. I think the water changes make it worse. My tap water is 8 and that's way too high for...

Hi there, There is something irritating my fish. I had 5 rasyboras (now have 4) and 1 angelfish in a 29gallon tank. The fish that died, actually died from jumping out of the tank. We found it on the floor. My Angelfish is also very small her body being a little bigger than a Canadian dollar -...

I think I'm going to try the aquarium salt and hopefully that will kill whatever is ailing my neon tetra and angelfish. I believe the shiny spot as well as the patch on the neon and angel fish are missing scales. My angel also lost part of both ventral fins and the long tail end of her anal fin...

Hi again! So things were starting to get better. Maybe my tank started cycling. I also used the buffer stuff and it worked well. I noticed too the ammo lock drops my PH. Unfortunately my KH still stays at 0. I also noticed my angel likes the lower ph - in the high 6's. Current parameters 28c...

If you have a link of what you'd recommend, I'll try a different kind. Kind of at a loss with my ph and KH

This is what I ordered. There was no ingredient list on the box and it says natural cuttlebone https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B09LS8FSM4?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I also have 2 cuttlebone in there to raise the PH but have seen no change after 3 days. I broke one of them into pieces too.

Here's just an update of my water in my tank. I don't know why the parameters just keep getting worse. I did a water change Thursday - 5 days ago PH is 5.4 or less KH 0 GH180 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 Ammonia 1.0 Any thoughts?

What about a salt dip? Just taking the tetra out into a bucket with the salt for 30.mins? I just am hesitant to add anything to the aquarium that could make the water quality worse right now.

Thank you! I stopped using ammo lock and removed the filter media as well. I've been using seachem stability daily - says to use for about a week which will end on Monday. I believe that may be what's decreasing the ammonia since nothing else has changed my ammonia readings. I have a suspicion...

On a bit of a different topic. I've attached photos of some concerns I have. One is a pic of the tetra. It's still alive. His fin is growing back but looks like he's gotten a cotton growth and the discoloration is spreading. I don't know if my angel has always had this and I never noticed until...

No I haven't. My husband is getting annoyed with all the fuss I'm making with the fish. We live in a small condo so doing all of this takes up a lot of space in our condo and I have clients over for my work so I can't haven't buckets in my living room(which is also my kitchen and dining room...

Thanks! I bought 2. I put 1 in 2 days ago but no change in PH It's still 5.4 or lower. Ammonia is 0.5. I did a water change too on Thursday and it didn't change my PH either, just raised the ammonia from 0 to 0.5. I have a 29 gallon tank. Should I add the second cuttlebone in? My angel is...
