I'll be gone for 6 days

Ok thank you for the info. Here's another question.. In a few days I have to fly across the country for a week. My roommate is going to feed my fish for me but will not be able to do the water changes. Any suggestions? I'll change the water the day I go and of course use some prime...

Also: yes that's a Betta and yes I researched what kind of fish it can live with. Everyone gets along. :)

I have a 20 gallon tank and have been doing a fish-in cycle for approximately 6 or so weeks. I have an API master test kit and the results have mostly been the same since I started (ammonia .25, nitrites 0, nitrates 0).... I do daily 40% water changes and use prime. Today I tested the water...

Hard to describe the smell. Just smells 'dirty'. Nitrates 0 Nitrites 0 Ammonia .25 Ph 7.6 I know prime stinks but it doesn't smell like prime. Is the 50% daily water change too much?

Have a 20 gallon tank and am doing a fish-in cycle. I'm about 2 weeks into it. I have 4 red-eye tetra, 4 Cory, a Betta, and a common pleco. I have a large in the tank filter, an air pump, heater, gravel, etc. Doing a daily water change (due to the cycle) of approximately 40-50% and using...

Ok here are the results from the API master kit: Ph 7.6 Ammonia 0.25 Nitrate 0 Nitrite 0 Also I bought some prime.

Thanks everyone for all your help. Much appreciated. I got a new 20 gallon today and followed your instructions on transferring everything. The fish seem really happy with it. Here are the test results: Nitrate- 20ppm Nitrite- 1.0 ppm Hardness- 75 Alkalinity- 80 Ph- 8.4

Ok I will certainly go out and buy a test kit today and post results. The more I read, I am finding that maybe a 20 gallon tank would be much more appropriate and even possibly easier to keep clean? Should I get a 20 gallon tank? If so, how should I transfer everything? Thanks for your help...

I just want to start off by mentioning that I am completely new to the hobby. I admit that I was ignorant and made a mistake but I would never purposefully harm or mis-care for any animal. I just never knew how much went into having an aquarium. Again, I feel very ignorant and feel awful. I just...
