hmm. sux i really like thier looks and how they school.

really after more than 2 months you think my tank is still considered being in cycling process? i thought cycling was when the ammonia and nitrites drop to 0 and stay at 0 which have already happened. im new to this but i do alot of reading to try my best at keeping a tank.

tank has been up for 2 and half months now. twice a week i do 30-40% water changes, by the time im done getting all the debris vacuumed out it ends up being about 30 or 40 percent.

ok so i should buy frozen instead of the freeze dried? how do you know if your tank is getting enough oxygen?

i keep the water up to black rim of tank and the filter just flows into the water without making any bubbles but it definitely causes ripples throughout the tank.

do pet stores sell frozen fish food? ive never noticed a freezer in my lfs? is there something i can just buy at grocery store? like maybe frozen shrimp and grind it up?

newly cycled 10g tank and it came with a crappy aquatech 5-15 that i want to replace with a aqua clear 40g power filter since they are so cheap. i also plan on getting a bigger tank one day. My question is how do i go about swapping filters without screwing with the bio bacteria and not making...

maybe i didnt introduce them properly. its my understanding ( i read somewhere) that you put the bag of fish into your tank and let them float for 15mins while adding some of your tank water every 5 mins. Then transfer the fish without adding the stores water. Question is How much of my water...

my 10g tank just finished cycling 2-3 days ago the ammonia and nitrites fell to zero after about 2 months of waiting. I had 3 small guppys in there about 2 weeks ago and they are happy and fine especially since the cycling has been finished. After my cycling finished i did a 30% water change and...

thank you for the quick and informed response.

i read somewhere that adding salt has a long term lasting effect and it cannot ever be removed completely. What if i up the water changes to 2-3 times a day to get the nitrites down? do you think that would be just as good? Trust me if i did more research i would have done a fishless cycle but...
