I have 8 fancy goldfish and 8 zebra danios, how often and how much should I feed them? Should I put in extra for them to forage or will that just cause bacteria blooms? The goldfish are all 1.5-3 years old and are very sensitive. Any advice appreciated [emoji846]

Yes. I know that’s it’s a lot but I do a full clean once a week and everything is fine, I’ve never had any issues eg fish aggression or filter issues before

I woke up this morning and my tank is quite murky, there’s a lot of particles floating around. I tested the water and it’s normal considering I haven’t changed the water in a week (ammonia is 0.25, nitrites are 0 and nitrates are 0). I put some water clarifier in a couple hours ago, but it’s...

Thanks :)

I bought a small ryukin goldfish just over a year ago. She was about 8cm with tail, and now is still only just 10cm. She has gotten slightly fatter but nothing like pictures I’ve seen for ryukins her age. She’s in a fully cycled 170L tank with a good quality canister filter, perfect water...

Thanks [emoji106]

I have a 170L goldfish tank and an Aqua One aquis 1200 canister filter. How often should I replace the cartridges, which ones should I replace and how often should I just clean them? TIA

I currently have 10-15 guppy fry in a 20gal. I have just finished a routine water change, 25% as it’s cycling. I added api stress zyme, api algae killer, ph down and a plant food. Nearly all of them are now lying on the bottom and barely moving and they are usually quite active. I put some...

We bought some guppies about 5 weeks ago. About 10 days later we noticed she was pregnant. Fast forward to three days ago, she is massive and her gravid spot was extremely dark. The current tank is too small to put the breeding tank in, and we didn’t want her fry to be eaten by the other fish...

Wondering if I could put 3 female swordtails, 3 female balloon mollies, 3 female platies, 1 Bristlenose catfish and one angelfish in a 20 gallon? TIA

Yes, they will be. Just went through that with a bunch of female guppies [emoji51]

I’m about to purchase a 75L tank, and was wondering if I could put x4 male guppies, x4 platys, x4 balloon mollies, x6 neon tetras, x1 dwarf Gourami and x1 Bristlenose catfish/. The filter has bio noodles, bio balls, sponge and carbon media. Would they get along and would that be fine or too many...

Ok, thanks [emoji4]

I don’t know I ran out of nitrate tester, should I get some?

Hi!! Yes, I’ve been doing that, just wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing [emoji4] How long do you reckon it’ll take for the nitrites to show up?

I have a 55gal tank with 6 small goldies. 2 weeks ago, I had to completely drain my tank as I had an ammonia problem. I filled it back up and added the fish, assuming the cycle had started. I’m now on day 15 and no nitrites have shown up (0ppm) . My ammonia is 0.5ppm - 1ppm (usually closer to...

What can I do to fix the ammonia situation?

[emoji106]

Also if I leave the ph it’ll be around 8-8.2, isn’t that bad for goldies?

Ok. I’m using the API freshwater master test kit. What do you mean by mini cycle? I’m guessing bc I cleaned it so much the nitrogen cycle has probably started again to something

I have a 55 gal goldy tank. About 4 days ago, I tested the water after my standard weekly 40% water change. After this water test the ammonia is usually 0 and the pH is usually 7.8. When I did the change 4 days ago, the ammonia was 0.5-1 and the pH was 8.2. After some further research, I found...

I just came home to my ranchu who has a red patch on her, but it doesn’t look like red pest disease. Is this a bruise or scratch? Please help, I’m very worried!!

Thx, he’s never been pure black but just wanted to make sure he’s ok [emoji846]

Awesome!! Thx so much, wanted to check it was normal [emoji846]
