My tank has finally cycled so yesterday I purchased 3 Serpae Tetra's on the recommendation of my LFS (Jack's Aquarium) to add to my 28 gallon tank. I have had three Zebra Danio's in the tank for the last 5 weeks. Here's my question: Why are my three Tetra's always hiding? I think I've only seem...

My 2 month old freshwater non planted 28 gallon is beginning to show signs of completing the cycle but I am now beginning to see algae growth on the plants. As I posted in another thread I've been keeping up with water changes and checking water parameters. Someone at PetsMart tried to sell me...

Hello, My 28 gallon, non planted, freshwater aquarium has been setup since mid November 2011. My problem is that is doesn't seem to be cycling. My readings are: Ammonia: 8.0+, pH:7.6, Nitrites: about 0.05 and the Nitrates at about zero or a little above. I currently have only 3 Zebra...
