    3 arius seemani need a new home

    I have 3 columbian sharks about 2.5 inches long that I'm not able to upgrade my tank soon enough for. Willing to trade or give away. Located in Nelson BC. I am willing to meet someone partway to deliver them to a good home. Nadine

    columbian shark having problem?

    I have been using a liquid nitrate test and pH test and strips for the rest as recommended by my lfs. The fish seemed to be eating like is usually does and the others are avoiding it completely. I have always used the correct aquarium salt depending on the type of tank I've run over the last...

    columbian shark having problem?

    I redid my test just in case I had a faulty strip or mistimed. Everything is showing the same as before except the nitrates are now listing as 3 ppm. I have been keeping my salt levels higher than I used to, but I don't know why only one out of three would be having a problem.

    toxic ammonia/pH

    Well, I feel like a bit of an idiot... it's been so long since I set up a tank that I completely forgot to add my Cycle bacteria :oops: I've now done that and I will continue to monitor my various levels. So far my Nitrate and Nitrite have been nil but I will keep an eye on them as my toxic...

    toxic ammonia/pH

    It's a 5 gal tank that I set up 2 weeks ago. 3 white clouds, 1 pepper cory, good filter system. I added a bit of gravel from my stable 10 gal upon set up to encourage beneficial bacteria etc. There are 2 small live plants (what type I don't know, just broad leaf rooting well in my gravel)

    toxic ammonia/pH

    I've been running a 10 gal for years and recently set up a second tank for tetras as I have aggressive/carnivorous fish in the old tank. My new tank seems to refuse to stabilize pH and ammonia. The nitrite and nitrate levels are fine, but the toxic ammonia and pH are high. I've done several...
