I have this tank I got from a mostly failed Kickstarter. I’ve never housed jellyfish in it because I’m not very confident it wouldn’t kill them because the sprayer bar creates this weird back suction that would likely suck in tentacles. While cycling the tank, I watched brine shrimp get sucked...

I have a Guppy with fin rot and I don't want to treat the whole main tank. Can I treat him in a 1/2 gallon betta bowl? I was just given the small tank (plan to use it for some shrimp or snails or an African dwarf frog -well i dunno if it's big enough for the frog) so I was just wondering if I...

I'm sure this is asked a billion times. 10g 1 guppy 1 platy 3 ghost shrimp 0,0,5, 7.8 Tank has had fish in it for about 2.5 weeks after 5 week fishless cycle. We went out of town for the weekend (fish were only not fed for one day), the light stayed off the whole time. They were...

Just call me the fish killer :-( I've done everything to the letter and all my fish have died in less than 48 hours (1 platy, 1 swordtail, 1 guppy...3 ghost shrimp are thriving, eating, and swimming fine). Took my water in to LFS and had them test it cause I figured I MUST be reading my tests...

10 gal tank. Started my fishless cycle on 1/10, two weeks later the ammonia dropped out to zero on 1/27, Nitrites were high, nitrates climbing for a week. I've done about 4 water changes in the next two weeks to keep nitrites readable; dosing ammonia to 4ppm every other day. Nitrites just...

When reading the main article for fishless cycling, they mentioned it would be nice to have a nitrite source so the ammonia and nitrite bacteria could start developing at the same time. Sodium nitrite is usually used for preservation of food/meats, comes as a powder. Has anyone considered this...

I couldn't find a very adequate answer while searching the forums on the rules for schooling fish. We have a 10g freshwater tank in the process of fishless cycle and we've been researching what we want to put in there. We're probably going to start with a school of 5 tetra or danios. There are...

Yep, it's true, we are new to fish keeping and thankfully (?) I'm completely spastic about taking care of animals properly. So we are in the process of doing a fishless cycle on our new 10 gallon freshwater tank (the marineland kit tank + a small airstone, some gravel and a few fake plants for...
