I have 2 questions. I have a community tank. I'd like to put 1 larger peaceful fish into the mix. Any suggestions ? Secondly, how many neon tetras are needed to make a good looking school ?

Nutrafin Plant Gro or the full spectrum of Seachem products ? Besides the obvious, ( PRICE ) what would you recommend ? Using Seachem now & thinking of trying CO2 Booster with the Plant Grow. What do you think ?

Any experience having a blue gouramais & a dwarf gouramais in the same tank ?

In my 30, I have 10 zebras 1 bristlenose, 1 dwarf gouramais & 4 corries. I want to add 1 blue gouramais an angel & a sword. Any comments? Any compatibility problems ? Thanks :)

Neither do I.

Agreed Agreed:)

Oh Come On Cool it. Were all adults here, aren't we ?:confused::)

Doing It I am doing that now. Thanks. :)

Guys, Guys, Guys, Calm yourselves. I have taken all your advice into consideration. I am not ignoring you. I'm just trying to go about it in the safest way for my fish. Water changes have been throwing my PH readings into a tailspin. I don't know why. They just are. My tap water tests @ 6.8...

Beat Ya ! Beat Ya ! 64 years young here !:facepalm:

More Than One Way As they say, " The proof is in the pudding." Perhaps some of you are too young to have heard of that expression.You may choose to believe it or not. Your right. No done water changes for 2 days & my ammonia levels have gone from 1ppm to .5ppm Perhaps my tank has cycled ...

Thanks. :) I did that. My PH still comes out @ 6.8. The PH in my tank this morning was 6.0. Quite a drop from yesterday's 8.8. A couple of fish are showing the effects. I didn't want to do another water change. I figured they didn't need more upset. I tested this morning & it was down to .5...

Not Anymore I am not using the high range anymore. It was way off the chart with the regular one. That is why I checked it with the high range that 1 time.

PH 50% water changes are not working for me. Will have to do smaller ones. Large changes, for some reason, are playing havoc with my PH. Went from 6.2 to 8.8 after my 50%. This is as deadly as ammonia. I'll have to do small water changes, test & get the PH under control. My tap water is 6.8...

RIDDING MY TANK OF AMMONIA !!! THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY !!!!! So many differing opinions & everyone thinks they have the right one. Am I the only one who doesn't think they have all the answers ? Sorry, guys, just frustrated. :( Hope you understand. I know my goal is 0 ammonia. The differing...

No brown slime & the water is crystal clear. :)

I have been using Prime for over a week. My ammonia is coming down. It started @ 0 & climbed to 2. Now it is down to 1. It has been between 1 & 2 for a few days now. No causalities. In fact they appear quite content. ( no gasping for air, no hiding in the corner, no fins clamped, etc. ) I know...

Testing Kit I have the liquid testing kit. That is what I've been using. I have trouble distinguishing between the colours on the chart. It tests for nitrite, nitrate, ammonia, PH & PH high range. It is only ammonia that has been a problem thus far. Nitrites have been consistently 0 & nitrates...

Testing Kit Thanks. What about a 50% change daily ? Would that be ok ? That is that kit I am using.

Difficult to Read The test strips are so difficult to read. The shades are so close. After that 50% water change, I would say I have gone from a 2 to almost a one. Like a 1 1/2. I'm not trying to be funny. I am just trying to report as accurately as I can. I realize I'm going to have to do...

So, in my position, what would you recommend ?

I've heard pro's & con's. I'd like to have a blue gouramais in my 30 gallon as a show fish. There are also neon tetras in this tank & 2 dwarf gouramais. One person said, go for it. Another said no. What do you think ? If no, what would you suggest instead ?

Thanks Thanks for the suggestion. There is not a large inventory where I live. I haven't been able to find the keyhole. Is there something more common that would serve as a focal point in my tank ? I like blue gouramais, but have been told they would have my tetras for lunch. An angel is...

Did a 50% water change & a double dose of Prime. I will test in a few hours.

50% I know I have to get the ammonia levels down ! But, might a 50% water change also be a shock to the system ?
