    Metro + overdose?

    Has anybody have had any experience treating HITH with this medication? I followed the dosage of 1 capful per 10 gallon and it burned my fish. Good thing I checked the QT before I went to bed and it was just drifting with the current. I did a PWC and it's acting normal again but it looks like it...

    Proper pH 6.5

    I know that Unstable pH and/or drastic change in pH level is bad for your fish. My tap's pH is 7.2. GH and KH are also too high for my discus eggs to hatch(I think that is what to blame for that). Proper pH detoxifies heavy metals in the water. My question is, is the change from 7.2 to 6.5(I'm...

    Centerpiece fish that can go with cardinal tetra...

    I have 30 cardinal tetras in my 55g and a few corydoras. I'm looking for a fish that can go with them that won't eat the cardinals. I don't want a gourami though and I have had bad experience with angel fish eating cardinals. Thanks.

    Madagascar lace bulb

    How do you keep the bulb dormant? I'm trading in one of my tank with this plant but I don't have any space for it. I read long time ago that you can keep the bulb with no leaves and will still be alive when you plant it after a while. How do you keep the bulb alive? Where do you store it? Thanks.

    Cardinal tetras in a BB tank

    I know that it is ideal to have a planted tank if you want to keep cardinal tetras. I'm almost done setting up a 55g BB discus tank. I'm thinking of adding 10 cardinals. Are they going to be fine with no plants? Or are they going to be stressed out with the big discus and no place to hide? Thanks.

    Fish going blind?

    One of my discus looks like it's going blind. His eyes are getting cloudier. Like a cataract. Is this a common fish disease? Any way to treat this? Thank you.

    White fuzz on DW

    Is this the white fuzz that normally grow on DW? I have a few DWs and this is the first time that this ever happened. If it is, I read that it will go away by itself and I don't have to worry about it. Is that right? Can I manually rub it off the wood? I'm cycling this tank BTW. Thanks.

    Is this good enough light to grow plants?

    Is this light ok for growing plants? I think it's the kind of light that comes with the tank when you buy a set from the big chain stores. I have 2 of these on a 10g tank. 25W each. Thank you.
