Sorry I miss read the top, it's still a good thing to keep in mind when buying cichlids tho, sorry for the misconfusion

Hi I think I know what happened to your fish,Ram cichlids Will generally work in peaceful community tanks with fast-moving fish or with other semi-aggressive South American Cichlids such as Angelfish, however, they should be observed carefully as some individuals can be more feisty than others...

Ok thanks

I haven't run the lights for more than 2hrs since the algae appeared

I do water changes every Wednesday, I have 4 panda corycats, 2neon tetras, 1 ruby danio, 5white clouded minnows and a platy. I have a 10gl tank and have had it for 2months.

I also have 4 panda Cory cats do they help reduce it at all ??

I don't have any plants :(, my internet was down my last few days so I am replying now and after a water change it still looks the same would you suggest a snail ?

Ok thanks. It started out small then bloomed and was very unsightly starting today

Hello everyone I have had my tank for 2months now and it just finished cycling, I have a lot of what I have come to know is brown algae so I am wondering what I should do ??

Alright thanks !

Yea that was a typo ;), also yea I believe so and I do a 30% water change every other week, I have never tested the ph I should test that today then

Thanks :-)

Yay yay ! I didn't know how good it would feel but 2 months later and it's complete.

Sweet thanks !! I hoping I'm almost done with the cycle :P

Here is the upgraded nitrate test

That's probably where I went wrong

It had a slight tint of green

No I did fish in so I didn't dose with ammonia but I recently went on reading week and went home and left a feeder rock in the bottom, so food and that could have a slight spike in the ammonia. I'll re do the nitrate and show you in a few mins.

I was told not replace them as you get rid of good bacteria so I just rinse it off in old tank water when I do water changes , it said add 10drops and 10drops I use the API test kit

Also I recently started seeing a bloom of diatoms

Ok so here is a picture of my newb tank :D I have 4 panda Cory cats, 1 platy, 2neons, 1 ruby danio, and 5 white clouded minnows. It's a 10gallon tank and is only 2 months old. I bought the test kit at my fish store and it doesn't expire till 2016, I shook the chemicals with the water in the...

3rd test2nd test1st test The picture in my last post was my 4th test. I don't know because I have tested from the first week and I've gone thru the ammonia spike and the nitrite spike then last week I didn't post but I had red nitrates so I did a 50% water change, I don't know what happened...

Hi everyone just a quick question, I have had my tank for two years and I am wondering if my tank is cycled ?? Here's a picture of my test.

Ok will that get rid of the algae I heard it's caused my high nitrate is this true ?

Hi everyone, I have had my aquarium for about 5 weeks and just last week I started seeing brown spots on my substrate and on my rocks and on some plants I have heard about brown algae but I was just wondering if it's harmful and if there is anyways I can get rid of it ? Thanks for the feedback...
