I like your advice with the chemicals, so there out. Twice a week is the limit on the times to clean the glass, vacum the gravel, and add the dechloranized water? I should get myself a nitrite and nitrate test kit then, any ideas?

Ammonia is normal. I was told by lfs that nitrites and nitrates aren’t important! ARRR! Yes I use a gravel vac to remove gravel waste to the portions stated earlier. The waste control is a waste eliminator for rapid reduction of organic waste in aquariums. It cleans gravel, power filters, and...

The tank has been running for 6 months, so I'd say its cycled. My dechlorinator is called Aquaplus, I would add that every water change regardless. The tank is more dirty then I realised, not being able to clean certain areas because of rocks I entered into the habitat. The other chemicals I use...

I cleaned out 10% of my water yesterday at 12:00est, cleaned the glass, and added 20% back, treated with Aquaplus, cycle, and waste control. Now I have one question, can I keep doing the same ammount of water change every day (to better clean my aquarium) without adding chemicals daily (adding...

Its got to be Fish Tuberculosis/TB Systemic Infection. I fed my fish live shrimp brine and the palty actually came out to eat (for the first time in a long time). His back was all out of line and he couldn't swim straight only up and down and diagonal. He quickly went back under the rock. So...

Yeah they let me down there. :/ He or she is the oldest and biggest (as big as a red wag platy gets) of my platy, if that helps..

The LFS said nitrates and nitrite arn't important. >: Bastards! The ph and ammonia were tested on Tuesday. The only fish thatare effected are the palty, this making me believe its not disease. I'm no expert though. Its sad to see him they way he is, and he has been like this for over 10 days...

Okay the platty is still so sick. I've seen him lay on the gravel for hours just breathing and bent out of shape. I believe it must be the ammount of fish I have in my tank so I was told to buy a fish that would eat all the platty and or guppy babies, but not the parents. Anyone know of such a...

Yeah I should really do that.. However, my water was tested for ph and ammonia and they both came out normal.

Alright great thanks for the reply, I will get my water tested tomorow (Monday) I just did a water change today. I do it every sunday. The charts are great, thanks for that! ;)

It started out with the two platy that were fighting, well, one being picked on all the time. So about 6 weeks ago, I added two more red wagtail platy to even the first two out. They started to breed out of no where! I was excited! So far two different times. First time 8, second time 5, all...
