Well they were mad at first when I did the water change but about 2 hrs later they are no longer clamping or brushing on decor

Not sure if u seen my reply. I’m still getting the hang of this. Just did a 50% water change and it cause my ph to crash. I don’t wanna use a ph up or down. Idk what to do at this point. Unless when u say don’t worry about ph u mean all aspects of it.

My ph is 8.0 coming out the tap. The water mix causes the drop before adding to the tank

50% water change it is. Off to the store I go. Ok well I shouldn’t worry about the ph crashing when I add my water because of the fact that it always stablzes? My temp is always good but I feel they go into ph shock if I change too much water at once cause it drops the ph from 8.0 way down to...

Ok here is the story with this tank. The filter is new. This tank is only started oct 10 and the filter was started the 15th .I messed up and bought fish before learning a dang thing. Originally had 14 thrown in a ten gallon. Yes yell at me. I had to buy the 29 gallon. I’ve been battling ammonia...

Hello everyone. I’m dealing with clamping fish. I tested my water and I’m at 40ppm on nitrates and it’s cause of my tap and 8.0ph. Also cause of my tap. What do you all think is upsetting them more? The nitrates or high ph? Or you guys think it’s something else? Notice the white molly and the platy

With and without flash What color would you call him?

Thank you very much for the info u provided. I will differently check it out after work today

So Andy is the color changing from blue to green something I should worry about?

Changing color You are all awesome. Thank you for your help and time. Most importantly to me is his happiness. We have only had him 2.5 days and he is already changing color. From blue to like an emerald green. It’s staring at his body and working its way out. He is super active and eats 5-6...

Yea makes complete sense. He already doesn’t like seeing himself in the reflection. I guess I could look it up but I don’t hear about a boy with a girl or two very often. Reason why?

Sorry it’s a ten gallon

Just got this guy yesterday after losing one on Sunday. Will he be happier with or without friends?

In other news my Black Molly in my 29gal just gave birth. I just went on a rescue mission I’ve saved the only three I’ve seen so far

Very sad news. I’m just lost cause the pleco seems perfectly fine. I took him out and plan on cleaning the tank and starting again. Any suggestions on how to clean it and any suggestions on my tap water issue with the high nitrate would be appreciated. Could I go like half tap and half...

He died

Thank you and I appreciate you taking your time to reply to me. Sorry if I came off as being rude. Just super worried. He is on day two of much better water conditions. The worst of the water conditions was the 40ppm nitrate. Is that what did this to him? I can give water perimeters a lil later...

Pic added It’s an albino bristlenose pleco. The pleco is only one inch and isn’t my main concern. Although I appreciate the concern about the pleco. I’m in a dire situation with this Betta. The more I research the more contradictions I find. Use salt. Don’t use salt. Use Bettafix don’t use...

Thinking about starting triple sulfa today. Day two of his fins melting and him hiding

I started using Crystal Geyser bottled water. I did not use chemicals as they are frowned upon. The origanal tap and bottle mix has me at a stable and much lower ph than the previous 8.0.

Thank you for your help. It’s a 10 gallon. I’ve posted about my problem in the freshwater unhealthy fish thread. Maybe you can reply to it there and help me out.

Hello. Well first off I’d like to say that this is all my fault for not cycling my tanks properly and not understanding everything needed for fish care. Yes I have a master kit and use it daily to check my tanks. Before I had received my master kit I was unaware of the nitrate issue in my water...
