Hello
Please see the video of the fish on youtube to see the strange behavior it has :
My male guppy is reeling and barely able to swim - a very strange behavior ! - YouTube
I know that the guppies I bought are low quality and used to live
in a sewer-like water in the LFS . So living in a...
Hi Everyone

temporary untill they are old enough for the main 20G tank .

Hi Everyone
I have a 28 inches ( L ) x 11 inches ( W) x 16 inches ( H) . It has water capcity of 16 gallons . The aquarium is 6mm ( 1/4 inch or 0.23 inch ) thick and has two side braces which I think are not necessary because there should be one brace in the center not two braces at the end...
what I mean by making this thread is the following :
how to clean the sponge while maintaining benficial bacteria ? because
the sponge is both mechanical and biological media.
Thanks for the information , but I think you're talking about a different type
of internal filters . Mine has only on cartridge with one sponge in it . i've added a picture of my filter type please check it out. :)
Hi , you should know that Activated Carbon is very useful because it absorbs odors, discoloration and impurities. So your tank will look clear and smell fresh . It said that it also absorbs chlorine from water . Activated Carbon only works
for 4 weeks maximum then it won't absorb anything and...
Hello Everyone
Cleaning filters is very obvious and needs no explanations, but when it comes to internal filters it's 2 in 1 filter because it has only one cartidge and one sponge for both mechanical and biologiocal filteration . That means cleaning it
more often might kill the benfecial...
Thank you very much . I'll try to do that as often as possible.
I have small white pebbles as substrate . they are quite thick like half inch or so . Please see the pictures in my other thread : Click here
The substrate might be the source of the problem as you suggested because it smells...
I know a trick to make flaoting food sink which is very easy and extremely effective on all types of floating food . It's done by taking air out using
a syringe just check it out on youtube.
you're right , but there are different types of sand with different grains size. Usually sand with...
Hi Everyone
The question is obvious so let's hear your answers :
How does Ammonia smell ? and do Nitrite and Nitrate have smell too ?
The reason why I'm asking this is because I have an overstocked 4 Fantail Goldfish in a 20 gallons tank and I usullay smell a strange rotten smell coming out...
sand is not really recommend because it will cloud the water no matter what you do . I suggest pea-size unpainted pebbles because my goldies alwas suck them in and then throw them out in their ever-going journey looking for food that's why using painted pebbles or gravel with sharp edges will...
Hi Adadkins1
You'll need a 20 gallons long tank for one Fantail goldfish but you have to know it is a social fish so it's better to get another Fantail goldfish and get a 30 or 40 gallons long tank . The bigger and longer the tank the better , because it needs a large area to swim. You'll...
Thank you very much for your concern. Unfortunately shipping to Libya isn't
a good idea because it will probably get lost or even stolen in the main post office or even before arriving there . Mailing system is horrible here in Libya. We don't have ZIP codes or anything relating to mailing...
I first wanted to get Seacehm Prime water conditioner but it's liquid so I tried to get seacehm Safe which is chemical and both chemicals and liquids are prophibted for international shipping . :nono::nono: Thanks for your suggestion ;)
I agreee that the conditioner is a must and top priority and I will try
harder to find it as soon as possible . As for test stripes they are as you said
inaccurate and sometimes completely wrong plus they are more expensive
but I might be obligied to get them as a final solution. As for the...
