I have been cycling a 30g that I seeded with filter media from another tank. For quite a while I had 4+ppm ammonia, and 5 nitrite with no nitrates. Today I tested, and have 4ppm ammonia, 5ppm nitrite, and at least 80ppm nitrate. Should I leave it be until the ammonia and nitrite are 0, or can I...

A 95g 5 green coydras 5 neon tetras 1 otto 1 LARGE pleco 2 hd size angels 2 quarter size angels Water parameters are 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 5 nitrate, Ph between 7.8 and 8 (always has been high). I noticed my angels first. No weird behavior really, and no loss of appetight, but white spots on...

Starting with one angelfish I thought my fish had ich. I have been using heat and salt, but it hasn't gone away. As of yesterday I started seeing "ich" on my other fish. This morning I saw that my black angel has a white powdery film over his entire body. Is this velvet? All fish are eating...

I have a guppy tank for the purpose of providing guppy fry for my angels. There is also an ADF in the tank. One of the females I recently brought home was showing signs of ich, and I wasn't sure how well the ADF would handle the treatment so I transferred him to my 1 1/2 gallon "nursery" while I...

Hey all you breeders/sellers. How difficult is it to ship live fish? I have a few fish that have not turned out to be what the lfs said they were. I have put a LOT of effort into creating the exact tank I want, and a few of the fish are simply not it. BUT they are healthy, beautiful, happy fish...

My kid's tank is a 5g with a dalmatian molly and an ADF. The molly eats flakes, and I drop frog and tadpole bites in for the frog, but I have never seen him eat. He hides 100% of the time. I only see him when I do PWC b/c I disturb his house. Today I moved his house on purpose, and he looks...

I keep going round and round about what to do with my tank situation. I need suggestions! Currently I have: -a 95 gallon nearly empty, and ready for my angels. -a 40 gallon currently housing 4 angels, and six green coydras. -a 10 gallon with guppies. There were only 4 males, but I added 6...

I am moving my 4 angels over to a 95 gallon this weekend or next! What else should I add to the tank as a complement?

Well it has been a while, but I noticed white spots on one of my angels today (the last little guy in the pecking order). No question that it is ich, so I decided to go with high temp and salt treatment. They are NOT happy with the salt. I added it with a PWC, and the minute it hit the tank they...

Ok, so I used my python for the first time tonight, and I have a stupid question. Do you refill the tank with the python too? I know it CAN, but it is water straight form the tap.... I thought that water was supposed to be de-chlorinated before you put it into the tank. So I drained the tank...

Or you can just have them for free. I am trying to re-home a huge Jack Dempsey, a Jewel, and a common pleco. Lots of local interest... no follow through. Pick up only in central Louisiana. They were super shy when they came to me (no attention... on auto feeder), but have warmed up quickly!

Let me know what you have, and how much. The only LFS is Petsmart here in my part of Louisiana! :|

I need help in identifying whether this is a m or f jack dempsey. Thanks all!

I just came into the living room to let the fishtank put me to sleep, and I half of a minnow floating in my new cichlid tank! 95 gallon with a huge jack dempsey and a full grown jewel as well. My hubby must have got them some live fish food, but went to bed with a headache before I got home...

So I inherited a full grown jewel cichlid and a HUGE jack dempsy with my 95 gallon craigslist purchase. I intended for the 95 to be an upgrade for my angels, and to use their 40 gallon as a qt or space for a mating pair. I may have found a home for the jewel cichlid, but not yet for the jd...

How many juvenile angelfish do you think would fit comfortably in a 95 gallon? Considering, of course, you plan on all of them reaching maturity. Oh and you have a 40g qt set up as well in case of pairing, etc.

So I ran across what I felt to be an AMAZING deal that I couldn't pass up. -95 gallon tank with solid wood stand, and hood with two 40w fluorescent tubes. -Fluval 405 canister filter -heater -gravel substrate -more plants, slates, rocks, driftwood, and other decorations that the tank can hold...

So I picked out my angels from the lfs assortment, and one of them was a black lace. When I first got him he was a matte black, but the older he gets the more noticeable these iridescent blue areas on him become. He looks like he's blushing iridescent blue on both cheeks, and the ends of his...

Ok. I have four angels in a 40 gallon. There are five green coydra at the bottom too, but with the way they act, they may as well be in another tank! The angels are half dollar to dollar sized, and they spent some time establishing their pecking order after I first got them. The top dog (black...

I decided to give away my serpea's and go with guppy in my 10g. We purchased them today, and they are doing fine, except for one. I noticed he was very still in the bag when we got home, and during acclimation he hovered vertical a couple of times. Now that they are all in the tank, and at first...

Would love to give away six serpea tetras. I don't know the first thing about shipping fish, so they are pick up only. I live in Central/South Louisiana.

I have what I thought was a juvenile dwarf gourami at work. Very small, and way less brilliant colors that the adult male in the tank. Well the adult picked on the "baby" relentlessly, so as soon as I was sure my 10g at home was completely cycled (yesterday) I brought the little one home. My...

Nitrites!! So I started up my 40g the wrong way, and I have been doing daily PWC's, and testing the water daily with my API kit. For the longest time I was reading 0's across the board, but finally after a few weeks I started seeing ammonia. I am still doing my PWC to keep that reading under the...

I am currently doing a fishless cycle in a planted 10g at home. I have a 40g with 4 angels, 6 serpae tetras, and 5 green coydras. I also have a 5g in my son's room that is cycling as a future home for two fry that a new addition to a tank at work surprised us with. My intention is to move the...

I freaked out about cycling when I read it on here after setting up and stocking my tank within 2 1/2 weeks, and started doing water changes immediately. I had those test strip things that did not test for ammonia, so I figured it couldn't hurt to do pwc till I knew where I stood. Since...
