So I flipped on the light on in my 20gal GBR tank and noticed the infamous white specs on my rams. I have only had ich one other time in the past two years of my fish keeping experience and it didn't turn out good. Ended with a blue staind tank and a dead goldfish. I really want to beat this...

Yeah I agree. 2ppm should be good. The bacteria should take about 10 days before you start seeing traces of nitrites. Best thing is to kick back and let things brew. Just an fyi that when you do see nitrites cut back your dosing to half or 1ppm ammonia. The op of this thread has noted on...

I thought the CAE were the same as otto cats...any how correction, forget the chineese and go with ottos is what I meant. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

If you have extra stocking room and good filtration I'd recommend adding 1-2 ottos or Chinese alge eaters. They stay to 1-2 inches and clean pretty good. I have 6 in my 55gal. They clean my plants, substrate and walls. I love those little boogers. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Aquarium...

I would still take 2 samples to the lfs just for confirmation that its not your test kit. If your nitrates are that high from your tap I might consider contacting the city where you live. Not only is it hard on the fish but it not good for YOU! Sent from my SCH-I535 using Aquarium Advice...

One thing to check while buying ammonia is to shake the bottle real good and make sure it doesn't foam. Even though it is clear and says pure ammonia it may still contain other detergents that cause it to foam up. As far as your tank if it has been running this whole time then bacteria may...

I got a blue gourmi on friday to add in ram tank. I acclimated it for 45mins before adding to my tank. All he seems to do when the lights are on is swim up and down in the same corner of the tank. If I add food he will eat and then back to up and down in the corner. Why is he doing this...

Gourami's are pretty cool. Check out this little guy I picked up at the lfs last night. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Check out the dwarf ram cichlids. I have two German blue rams. They are cool but may be a bit more advanced. Not difficult to keep but needs the right environment. Here is my pair... Sent from my SCH-I535 using Aquarium Advice mobile app
