I'm doing the salt right now before the medication shows up. Siphoning the bottom daily. I've read good reviews about ich-x, so I think if this is still persisting by the time it shows up, I'm going to go ahead and treat.

Okay, I agree that the liquid test kits are likely going to be of use in the future. Definitely going to look into getting some. Sorry if this is a rather silly question, but can you clarify what mini-cycling means? You seem to be using it in a negative way. Sure, I'll see about the nerites...

One more question, what should I use for filtration? Currently I have a tetra Whisper 4i, I'm concerned that will remove the Ich-x.

Thank you for your reply. After this is over, I may consider giving the oto a larger tank, though the reason I got him was because my small tank had a lot of algae. The person at the fish store said he would be okay in a small aquarium. By the way, I read that otos shouldn't be kept by...

Hello! About a week ago, I bought a pair of Blue Moscow guppies and an Otocinclus catifsh, and added them to my established 3 gallon tank. The tank already had 3 healthy guppies. Because one of my old guppies was pregnant, and I wasn't sure when the blue Moscow was going to give birth, I...

Okay! Thanks for your advice.

Okay, took out the other females and the male is still showing zero interest in her. I guess I'll have to buy more, but then I need to figure out what to do with the extra males since they only sell them in pairs...

Okay! I'll definitely try that (I have mosquito larvae, so that should work). Yeah, I know that if it's 1:1 that's a bad thing. I'll only do it for a day though, just to see if that'll get her pregnant. Thanks!

The fry don't stay in the 3 gallon, that's just for breeding. Also, do you have any tips on how to grow them out faster?

Yes, I have a 45 gallon and a 20 up right now, plus others that can be set up if necessary. I'll look into it, Aquatic Warehouse was selling them as a special and only in pairs. Can I remove the other two females and then bring them back within a couple days? I don't have to sell these, they're...

So should I remove the other females? I'm interested in breeding these to sell.

Hi! I bought a breeding pair of Red Deltas from Aquatic Warehouse and I put them in a 3 gallon tank along with two other mixed females. From the very beginning, the male was super interested in the mixed females and didn't pay much attention to the Red Delta female. Well, anyway, she did give...

The pack was a little too large for my small tank, but that's okay I can transfer to some others. My tank suddenly turned a yellowish green tint, and there is hair algae on the anacharis now. What are the ways to clean that off without damaging the plant? I'll post a pic maybe later.

Thanks Autumnsky, very useful information. My heater is the cheap non-adjustable kind, so unfortunately I can't lower the temp. I added half the dose of API leaf zone, is this okay? So far it doesn't appear to be dying. I took a bit out and put it in a jar, maybe it'll do better there. The only...

Thank you everyone for the replies! I am going to remove the ones I still have planted and let them float.

Thanks for the reply. There are roots growing out of the parts with dead leaves, should I cut those off too? Anything with brown on it? What do you recommend I do with the pellia? Thanks!

Hello! I'm new here, and last weekend I got some pellia moss(which I am now thinking is subwassertang, though not entirely sure) and a bundle of anacharis for my roughly 3 gallon tank. Initially I was going to get some Java moss, which according to what I've read is super easy to grow and good...
