No more questions need to be answered. I lost the fish this morn. A sad day.

It would seem I spoke to soon. I cam home to my one kamaka rainbow with the following look. I have no clue what this could be. I am in need of help.

Well figured I would update my thread. All three fish are eating and swimming. I am starting to feel confident that they will be ok. Thanks for the advice.

Oh sorry. Its a liquid test kit. Spec tetra laborett test kit.

I am right with u on the 3 1 inch fish putting out that much. I tested the tap and ammo was nonexistent. Same for display that has been running for over 5 years straight. Also on the feeding part. I tried 24 hrs after I got them. They didnt eat so I vacced up the food after an hour or so of...

I did a 50% change before I put in the ammo lock. I knew the ammo lock would give a false positive because I basically makes nh3 into nh4+.

The fish are about an inch a piece. Two are kamaka rainbows and one is a bosemani. The ammonia I would assume was from the display tank. I know I screwed up I just dont want to kill these guys.

And u think the fish will be ok and start eating soon?

Thats a great idea! However I am concerned that I have used ammo lock already.

This might be a silly question but will any bag do? Also do u think the fish will liven up and eat in the display? The two kamaka rainbows look skiny as all get up.

U could also get an african butterfly. I have one and he is great.

I dont think I have the ability to get media out of my display. It is a tetra wisper ex 70. Also how do u "drip acclimate" fish. This is a new concept to me. I know how to acclimate if they are in a bag from the pet store.

Hello, It has been a long time since i posted to this forum. I recently setup a 10 gallon quarantine tank to house some 3 new rainbows I bought. I however think I may have messed up. I used water from the display tank to fill the tank for the quarantine but I did not realize that I needed to...

I use simple aquarium salt. The reason I used it was for the dragon goby. I dont see why I cant stop. The dragon goby i was told could be acclimated to freshwater but unfortunately this opinion was on the minority. Whether he got a parasite or could not survive in freshwater at his age is...

I have a couple of questions about the tiretrack eel. It seems that he would be what i am looking for in an eel. They say he likes to burrow in sandy substrate which is what i have. A couple of questions come to mind. 1. Is he (or she sorry ladies) going to be completely freshwater? I have...

Hello all. I have an issue one of my bosemani rainbows lost an eye today (sad) and there appears to be some possible damage on the side where the eye was lost. My stock for the tank includes 2 parkonsoni rainbows, 2 bosemani rainbows, 1 red paradise fish, 1 common pleco, 1 south african...

In the future i would like to convert my tank to a brackish water tank. My question is what of my fish are able to make it in this environment. It is a 55 gal tank. Fish are: 1 South African Rasbora 1 White Skirt Tetra 2 parkinsoni Rainbows 2 bosemani rainbows 1 common pleco 1 paradise...

Thank you thank you thank you all. You have all provided a great help and I hope you will keep providing it.

This would be a temporary fix to just keep everything in check for a short amount of time. Thank you all.

Thank you for the advice on the puffers the articles that we read say that they are fine with slow moving fish ones that dont peak their curiosity. One more question once the tank is cycled, how long can we keep it cycled without fish. I am guessing if we just keep adding ammonia it will...

I think she has decided on a Dwarf puffer and a zebra Otto. She seems to like the personality of the Dwarf Puffer and she likes the looks of the zebra Otto.

Thank you very much. Now my girlfriend is looking at fish for her tank. She origanally wanted a betta but she is finding that the bettas are not very active. Oh well we have time and this is for another thread thank you all for the answers to the questions. You all are a wonderful help.

This tank is a 10 gallon tank it looks bigger in the picture? Just curious. Thanks

Thank you all my girlfriend and i are a little new at this whole thing. We appreciate the help with all this thank you very much. After the ammonia and nitrites get to zero with in 24 hours we do a pwc right. How much 10% or so or more?

Thank you very much for the quick reply keep adding ammonia until when is now the question?
