Maybe that is why my Dalmation Molly died for no apparent reason the other day. He was the only Molly I had in a 10 gal tank with Tetras and Cats. They are all doing fine, and the water quality is perfect. How much salt should I have been using for the Molly?

Who uses aquairum alt in their FW tank, and why, and how much? Thanks in advance.

Found this in a post from 2005. Pretty neat. Thought I would bring it back here for newbies like me to see.

I did have a partial sunlight problem as the tank is next to a small window with shades. But I have since put window tint film on the window, and I do not think that is a problem now. Feeding is fine, not too much, and I have a very voracious Cat fish keeping the bottom wast down. How long...

Alright, my 45 gal is finally cycled. Now I need to get rid of the green water. It is not real bad, since I have been doing PWCs consatntly during the cycle period. Should I buy one of those extended feeding deals you put in the tank before I cover the tank with blankets? How long is the...

Easy fish to care for? How big do they get? Are they aggressive to other fish? Thanks

My flurescennt bulb is not burned out yet, but a salesperson at the LFS says it should be changed anyways every 10 months because the light spectrum changes in the bulb and can cause Algae to grow. Any truth to this. Also my second bulb in my hood is a blue flurescent. Why? Would my tank show...

I am really getting impatient with the time it is taking to cycle the tank. Anyone tried Bio Spira? Thanks

Exactly where I am at and what I am doing. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks

Wow, That sounds great. Anybody else ever think of this? Thanks

What is the ideal tempurature to keep my heater while my 45 gallon tank is cycling? Thanks in Advance

Could you expand on this, please, as I am a newbie. What is it and is it fatal? Thanks

Yes it is a neon. Wonder why my post got moved to unhealthy fish? Other than bobbing or hopping up and down, he seems healthy. Been doing it for about 3 weeks and has not died yet.

Went thru almost a whole bottle of Stress Zyme! Guess I just have to be patient.

Water parameters are darn perfect. This is my 10 gallon tank that has been established for a while. All the other fishies are happy as can be.

At least it seems that way.My 45 gallon tank has been going 3 weeks and I still am not getting any Nitrite readings, and Ammonia is still around 1 ppm. I am doing 25% water changes every other day to keep the fish safe. How much longer of this hell do I have to endure? Thanks in advance

I just got a Dalmation Moly? Are these fish top swimmers? he always seems to swim at the surface of the water? Thanks in advance

I have a small Tetra that I have had for over a month in my 10 Gallon tank. After I had him for about a week, I noticed that he does not really swim anymore. He jus kind of bobs straight up and down. Actually just looks like he is just hopping. Anyone know what this is? He does seem healthy and...

Not sure. I bought them a long time ago for my 10 gallon tank. They were about 1'' long back then. Now they are over 2 inches. They attach themselves sometimes to the glass of the aquarium or the decorations.

You have all been great. One more question: Should I vac my gravel while I am in the cycle process, or will this disturb the bacteria growth?? Thanks again

Brings me to another question. I am feeding flake food, how do I know how much to feed them? And how often? If and when my tank finishes cycling, how often and how much water should I change? Y'all are great. Thanks

I have been lurking on your site for a couple of days and decided to join, since y'all seem to be experts, I am far from it. I have set up a 45 gallon tank, with a dual filtering Whisper filter. I have about 2-3 inches of gravel and some fake plants and a epoxy coated cave. Nothing real fancy...
