I had 13 neons and am down to 4. Platy's were up to 9, down to 5. Female betta died last month. Any ideas as to why? All the tests results are very good, FW tank is almost 1 year old. They get fed everyday, and eat everything before it hits the bottom. Could they be starving to death? The...

I got about 15 neons about 8 months ago, and I'm down to 7. I found 2 dead, or what was left of them before the other fish and the snails got to them, but no signs of the others over the last few months. I had about 9 platys, am down to 4, but never found any of them. Momma platy got dropsy and...

I have a Penguin Biowheel 200 on my 8 month old 45g FW tank. I changed the carbon filter media about 6 months ago, and the biowheel I have never changed. I also use Marineland filter padding that I cut to fit and put in the filter box every other time I clean the tank so about once every two...

My nitrites are at 2.0, ammonia is reading between .25 & 0, nitrate is reading 10, pH is 6.8 i thought maybe the high nitrite is making him ill, but all the other fish seem fine. I am going to do a pwc to see what happens...could he be ill from something else? there's no visible signs like...

Okay, I got a API freshwater test kit. For months I have been having trouble with my ammonia levels, I cannot get it to go down. So, my LFS told me what to do, which was do a 80% pwc (I have been doing 50% twice a week to lower it), add some of this stuff they suggested called "TLC", alkaline...

What process do you use? I am thinking of buying a Python no spill and clean. Anybody use these? I am tired of hauling pails! Thanks!

This past weekend we had an unfortunate situation; I did a 50% pwc and added some more gravel substrate in hopes of adding some real plants, and I had almost all of my fish die in 48 hours. To save what fish we had left, I moved the beta to a fishbowl, left the remaining 4 fish in the tank and...

Hi to Everyone, I started my new 40g freshwater tank 6 weeks ago and it has never cleared up. I knew it would be cloudy at first, but it has yet to become a crystal clear tank. I have 2 goldfish, 5 neon, 2 platos, and just added a algae eater this past weekend. I got the goldfish first to...
