Happy 4th everyone. I bought an Elephantnose mormyrid earlier today, and placed him in my 30 gal. The tank is occupied by four dalmatian mollies and a large snail, decent enough tankmates. The tank is artificially planted (hoping to change that soon), but I'm going to rearrange things so he...

Hey everyone, I have a properly cycled 30 gallon freshwater tank that I stocked yesterday. I purchased two bala catfish, three pink skirts and three serpaes. I'm going to purchase at least one or two more of both of the aforementioned tetras soon for schooling purposes. The tetras have...

Hey everybody, please try to offer help if you can. I have a 29 gallon, cycled freshwater tank that has been established for over a year. It currently has five dalmatian mollies and a single dwarf gourami. I lost one molly a few days ago, it was growing continually skinnier and I think a prior...

Hey everybody, I'm having trouble with phantom chemical levels. While normally the solution would be my bacteria eating everything up, my tank has been cycled for god knows how long. I've noticed one of my six mollies gradually becoming skinnier, and he seems to have some permanent damage on his...

Hey everyone, Can I first grab your attention and please ask you to help me? The past few times I've posted threads (various sections), I never got any replies, but I kinda need it this time. I didn't get any sleep last night, I was still in bed as of ten minutes ago, somebody else turned my...

Hey all. So I have six lyretail mollies in a 29 gallon aquarium. It's a quarantine right now before they go into another, cycled 29 gallon with the rest of my mollies. Big for a QT, but I'm turning it into a saltwater later. Anyway, I had a problem with unknown tank cloudiness before. Tried...

Hey all. I'm having a big issue with cloudiness in my quarantine tank. Currently, I have two tanks, both 29 gallon freshwaters. One tank is established and cycled, six dalmatian mollies. The other day I picked up the additions to that tank, six lyretail mollies, and I am holding them in the...

Hey everybody, I bought some more fish today. Six yellow lyretail mollies. I'm holding them in a 29 gallon tank before I put them in my other cycled 29 gallon tank with the other six of my mollies. I know, pretty big for a quarantine tank, but I'm just using it for that until I make it a...

Hey everybody, good news! I'm adding to my 29 gallon (six dalmatian mollies) very soon, now that summer is here. I can't make my mind up on what I want, so I'm just going to choose when I get to the LFS. I know for sure that I want a single neon blue dwarf gourami, and a school of 5-6...

Hey all, Normally I would want to keep everything contained in my cycling journal, but I just need fast answers because I have very little time this morning. I tested my tank and here are my readings: Ammonia: Between 0.25 and 0.50 ppm Nitrites: 0.00 ppm Nitrates: Around 5.0 ppm I'm doing...

I am doing a water change as a part of my cycling. I picked up some Prime today, and as you may know the formula is 5 ml for every 50 gallons. My tank is 29 gallons and I am doing a 50% water change. Obviously, I cannot dechlorinate the water before putting it into the tank, because the amount...

Hey all, I was curious about what kind of pop-eye meds I should get. A few days ago, I noticed a few of my mollies were developing pop eye from bad water conditions. I also discovered that I have unknowingly been cycling my tank and the disease is a result of it. Firstly, I want to know if...

Hey everyone. So some of you have maybe caught me whoring the chat room for help, but I will explain for those that haven't had to endure that. I have a twenty-nine gallon freshwater tank with six dalmatian mollies. The current situation is stressing me out beyond belief. Several of my mollies...

Hey everybody, I just noticed a problem with my mollies a few minutes ago while feeding them. I have a 29 gallon freshwater aquarium with six dalmatian mollies. I need to do a PWC soon. Usually they all rush to the designated feeding area when I approach the tank, but this time one of them...

Hey everyone, I have some questions pertaining to some fish I'm considering adding to my tank. I have a 29 gallon freshwater-sort of brackish tank, with six dalmatian mollies. I figure I can handle adding a school of 3-5 more schooling fish, and one or two slightly larger fish. At first I...

Hey everyone, I had some questions about what I can add to my first tank in the future once my fish are fully grown. I have a thirty gallon brackish tank with six dalmatian mollies, they are still young and maybe about an inch and a half long average. I do not know the sexes. There are no plants...

Hey everybody, I'm running my starter tank right now, it's a 30 gallon freshwater tank with six dalmatian mollies. They are each about an inch and a half and not yet fully grown. It's going to be a while before I add any more company in there because they will get bigger, but I wanted some...

Hey everyone. Not necessarily new to the site in terms of accounts, but nonetheless new in terms of time spent here. Had a previous account but I lost the log in. Came to you guys before begging for enlightenment on the ammonia cycle, and the community put up with how long it took to get into...

Hey all, I just made this account, but I had previously come to these forums with lots of questions before I even started my tank. I didn't save my log in information so the account is pretty much lost. Anyway, I've had my first freshwater tank for a few months so far and everything is going...

AND I WANT TO SCREAM One of them screwed their hours so they were closed. Another one had a decent selection but all the fish had filthy tanks, mismatched names and rot. The other one pulled a Walmart. In none of these did I find ammonia, but I found those API test kits you guys love so much...

I found a box of sea shells, types and sizes varying from tiny to bigger than your hand, in a box in my garage today. These were most like gathered from the ocean off Pensacola, Florida many years ago. I don't have a tank yet, but I thought it would be cool to put some in there, along with...

Posted this at a different site but never got any replies. I would really like some help with this. Doing a copy and paste because I refuse to write all of that again. Out of the two plans it talks about, I've decided to start with a single school of guppies. I've been researching a few...
