I have a 29 gallon tank with one angel fish and 6 long fined leopard danios. I cycled my tank a long time ago using the fishless cycle method. Right now all I have in my filter is that poly fluffy stuff, but what else should I have in there?

I just finished cycling my tank and everyone is in! but now I am wondering how do I know if there is enough oxygen in there for everyone. I have 1 angelfish and 6 leopard danios in a 29 gallon tank. My waterfall from my filter really doesn't create that many bubbles.

My tank is finally cycled! I am adding 5ml of ammonia tonight to bring it back up to 4ppms and hopefully in 24 hours it will be gone. My question is that tomorrow if it is gone I do a 90% water change and then do I have to wait 24 hours to put in fish or can I do the water change and put in fish...

I have a 29 gallon tank with a 30 gallon filter(no carbon). Here is a play-by-play of my cycle. To test I am using the API freshwater master test kit. June 5 Amm. 4.0 ppm Nitrite 0 ppm Nitrate 0 ppm June 6 @ 1:00pm Amm. 4 Nitrite 1.0 Nitrate 4.0 June 7 @11:00 pm Amm 0 Nitrite 2.0- 5.0 Nitrate...

I have been doing my fishless cycle for about 2 weeks now maybe 3. The ammonia finally got down to 1ppm and then I put it back to 4. Then it went back down again and of course I put it back to 4. 24 hours later it was down to 0 so I did a 50% water change so I could read the nitrites and...

My cycle is complete and I am ready to add new fish, but I am wondering your opinion on vacuuming my gravel. Now that I have all that good bacteria in my gravel do I just have to let my gravel be dirty? So therefore when I do partial water changes I just suck the water out and don't get anywhere...

I am trying to cycle my 29 gallon tank but my heater is not working. I have tried several different plugs just to make sure it wasn't the outlet. Its weird though because the power light on the heater says it on and I have it cranked up to like 89 degrees. Mt thermometer says the tank is at 79...

I am going to get leopard danios and one angelfish for my tank once it is done cycling. Last time I set up my tank I did it all wrong and the fish ended up getting ich. I heard aquarium salt is a good thing to add to your tank and I was wondering how I would go about doing that. My tank is a 29...

What would happen if I used a bottle of ammonia that says its clear but bubbles when I shake it in my tank? I cant find ammonia that doesn't bubble anywhere. :C

I was on the site the other day and someone said where you could find pure ammonia and I was wondering if anyone remembered because I can't find the thread. Also can you recommend an actual name I want to make sure I get the right stuff.

My fish had a very small outbreak of ick so before it got out of hand I rushed down to the store and bought Quick Cure Fast Relief For Ick & Protozoan Parasites. It said in the instructions that is might turn plastic plants, rocks, and the glue that seals the tank blue. Of course I thought that...

So I just got a gold viel angel and I was wondering if my light might be too bright for him. I am guessing that is because I have had my light on all day and he hid in the corner I turned my light off maybe a hour ago and he is swimming around the whole tank and seems to be loving life now. So...

I have 6 red eye tetras and 5 black phantom tetras in a 28 gallon high tank. There is a little "forest" for the fish to hide in and I made them a cave. First of all why won't they go in the cave? Its big so I thought that it would be a good hiding place ( when they get scared they all rush to...

I have 6 red eye tetras and 5 black phantom tetras and some how one of my black phantom tetras get his tail fin ripped off.... and I have him in a separate tank now and he is floating at the top like he is about to die. So what am I suppose to do with him when he finally does?

I have a 29 gallon freshwater tank, I have been patient for about three weeks now setting it up and finally I got four red eye tetras and I am planning on getting 2 more. Now I am wondering what else should I put in there? I was never really planning on getting red eye tetras but... they were on...

I am setting up my first tank (29 Gallons) and I am wanting to cycle my tank using the fish-less method with ammonia. I have been searching around I am wondering what is the best testing kit for around 20-30 dollars and it needs to test for ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates. Thanks!

I have been searching and searching online for information on clean up crews for freshwater tanks but I can only get information on saltwater. I am new to keeping fish and have a 29 gallon tank that is being cycled with no fish. Some help please!
