Ok so my lvls are all messed up, im gonna do a few water changes and make sure there's nothing left on the floor. Then im gonna wash out the filters like you guys suggested. I have friend who has an 80 gal take with a TON of barbs in it, he said he would take my barbs if they were all good after...

barbs*

SHarkbait, my barks are 1in or so

WOW, i had NO idea, i had one in my tank for almost 8 months b4 he died, i had NO idea that i was confining him so badly

yea, it seems every bit of trouble i have ever had with my tank has been odd levels. no worries, i will have it taken care of tomorrow. could my filters be holding anything bad in them? i have a good build up on them and i'd hate to waste it

not sure, ill do a test tomorrow with all the levels, if it is way too high, would taking the barbs out and reestablishing the tank to a proper cycle be too much for the barbs to handle?

ill try to find it again, but i SWEAR i looked it up

yea, water lvls are fine, i change the water every month and do an evaporation refill every 2 weeks. if it was the water then why have the barbs outlasted over 12 other animals? i mean the barbs were the first ones in

sry guys, my stuff on here isn't updated, i got 4 barbs in a 20 gal, and i did have a red tailed shark in there, i read up on the tank size limits before i buy fish, all the fish u buy usually say 20 gal or less is needed

So i have 4 Tiger Barbs (2 are albino) and they kill EVERYTHING i try to put into my tank. They have killed 2 red tailed sharks, 2 mystery snails, 5 guppies and even 2 tetras.....i love Tiger Barbs because they are very active and they seem to use the whole tank (bottom to top) to play in, all...

it was cycled, it's been running for like 2 months or more. I'll do a 75% PWC in the AM when my kids are away.

my pH is 7.2, NitrIte is 0ppm, NitrAte is 20pp....but my Ammonia is like 4ppm.....the tank was fine a week ago....what would make the ammonia spike? No new fish have been added and non of the other levels have changed. I cleaned the tank today and i didn't even find more then like 4 flakes of...

Cecil (the snail) is now making his way across the tank, after 3 days he's finally moving more then an inch

i plan on it....right now i have 4 female guppies, 2 males...one potbelly, 2 catfish, a ghost shrimp and the snail. i want more shrimp (bc they don't really effect the tank too much) and another snail, i keep a 10g tank for babies and what not, my god son has a turtle who feeds on the babies. He...

good, he's my favorite one in the tank, all the other fish bow to my snail lol

he moves slightly out, then back in...but not 100% in....he's not closed up, he has rocks stuck to his body, he sticks a tube out and then brings it back in...

He's been in the tank for about 2 months

Now Pepe the Ghost shrimp is chilling with him and the guppies are bumping his shell....ugh, they have never acted like this

pics here r some cell phone pics

i threw an algae tab in there beside him and he's going for it....i got pics im trying to put up, he keeps picking up rocks and balling them up on the bottom of his body

right now he's trying to come out....part of his body is our and his toobs are waving about....it's like he's stuck in there or something....if i put him on his escape hatch (propery "up") he just tips himself over.....i'm so confused....it seems like he can no longer get his whole body out or...

I thought my Mystery Snail was dead, so i took it out and put it in a plastic box to get rid of it. I felt bad about it so i waited an hour or so to do it and when i came back he was on the side....alive, so i put hm back in the tank and he came out for a lil bit but kept his body kinda small...

all my fish are full grown adults, besides the catfish, the snail was also full grown

you know what....i let my girl watch my tank for a week while i was away....she added the potbelly and 2 more guppies, i didn't think it'd hurt but i guess she didn't change th water either.....this was a needless death, i shoulda just double checked and googled some crap....Cecil died for no...
