Pretty much having the same problem. Got some fish from Petsmart and now they are all dying. Not going to be buying fish from them anymore. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

Thanks! Got them today. Can't wait to get them home and their new home.

UGH! Well, my tap water still reads at having between 1 and 2 ppm of Ammonia. I even let it sit out for 24 hours and tested it and it still tested that high. My poor fish. Anyway, tank is definitely cycled. Fish are all still alive and doing well. Only have a couple that I'm watching to see if...

Think I figured out why I'm not completely getting rid of the ammonia. I forgot it was time to clean the filters. They were definitely mucky. We'll see if that helps any before I try anything else. The pleco and catfish are out of the tank. Currently there are: 4 Dwarf (male) Gouramis 8 Zebra...

They were the same I believe. Doesn't matter to me all that much. I'll just make sure to get the same ones when I go to get the rest.

Better picture of the white specs.... And the best pic I could get of my very active little corys. After looking at the link above, they look more like the bronze than the emerald green to me.

Tank as it currently is. I plan on getting something for the back. Just haven't made up my mind on what I'm going to do. Thinking I'll just go for simple and put a black background. I am also thinking about getting some driftwood as well to put in there.

So on further inspection... I'm pretty sure both living platys are female. I think the skinnier one probably had the babies recently. The other hasn't had hers yet. Sorry for the poor picture quality. They didn't want to stay still for a photo and I made the mistake of feeding the tank (and...

At Petsmart they were just labeled Green Cory but the tag stated they were splendens. I remember that because I was trying to decide between them and the albino corys and was trying to figure out the specifics and had to see what their Latin name was to get that information. I will get more of...

That's what I've been seeing on the barbs. I've just been waiting for the tank to be stable before adding to it. I didn't realize the gouramis would get violent with each other. I've noticed they haven't been sociable. They usually hang out in different sections of the tank but I just assumed...

I'll take some updated pics once I get all the plants in. I have finally rehomed the pleco and the pictus catfish. Currently the tank holds: 4 dwarf gouramis 8 zebra danios 2 platys 1 molly 4 green corys 3 tiger barbs 1 horned nerite snail Tank appears to be cycled. Have had consistent...

I did add my friends old filter media to the tank but she has a much smaller tank so it probably only helped a little. I did discover what was causing the ammonia spikes. My city water has apparently been treated with something because it was showing high ammonia in it. It has started to come...

Honestly, I think it's my eyesight. I can't actually tell the difference between some of the levels on this card. It's kind of driving me batty trying to figure them out. Could also be the lighting. Depending on which light I'm using to look at them (and time of day because daylight also changes...

Well hopefully seeing me take care of my tank will encourage her to do the same. Again.... I'm sure no one cares at this point but I thought I would again post my test results in case.... No water change again today. I only dosed with Prime and left it at that. Ammonia alert looks yellow. In...

Just because I've gotten into the habit of posting my test results and because it may be useful... I thought I would go ahead and update with what my levels are today. I did not do a water change today. I only added a dose of Prime and that was it. Here are my test results. Nitrites are back...

I know... now I feel guilty for the all the water changes. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong since I couldn't get the ammonia down. I think this is something new on the ammonia levels because when I first started testing my tank I didn't have ammonia that high. I will test my tap...

I have an old 55 gallon tank I got for free. I've already ordered a strip light and will get a filtration system once that gets here but the dimensions of the tank don't match any of the hoods or glass tops I've so far seen online. I even tested the tops I have for my new 55 gallon kit thinking...

With the last test results... does it look like my tank has cycled? Ammonia was about .25ppm (but I was in the middle of a water change and had added water so could explain that reading) and the nitrites are nearly zero (a darker blue than the test sheet but no visible purple) and Nitrates are...

The water from the faucet was literally straight from the faucet while it was running. No conditioners or chemicals (other than the test kit drops) were added and tests were performed straight away so water had not been sitting for more than a minute. From the tap, Nitrites are straight 0. In...

Uhhhhh.... this is what the water tests at right out of the faucet.... is this why my ammonia is so high? This is the test results in the middle of a water change. Water is being siphoned out and I'm adding 5 gallon buckets of water as it goes down.

I did do a partial water change but I didn't want to mess the cycle up if I wasn't supposed to at that point. I have not missed a daily water change yet. The Nitrites look like they are some weird color in between the blue and purple. It doesn't match any of the colors on the sheet no matter...

Here's the latest test results. Good / bad? Getting there? Do I need to do a major water change, small one, or none at all? Thanks

The ammonia alert is actually almost completely yellow right now. It has a slight greenish tint to it but it more yellow than green. I did OD Prime the other day. I'll do it again in another day or two. I just wanted to let it clear out some before I did it again. All but two of the fish seem...

I have visible levels of Nitrite and Nitrate!!! Yayy! Okay, so I'm probably more excited over this than is warranted but I was really beginning to worry about not getting any at all. The ammonia alert only shows the first level alert. I started these tests and then did a 40% water change...
