Hello everyone, a few days ago I bought a 55 gal. poorly care for African Cichlid tank that already had a few fish in it. I was told they where all Malawi Mbuna African cichlids as well as convicts, the convicts where all about 1 1/2 inches long and I have sense rehomed all of them. My question...

Hello everyone, I have a community tank 55 gal. With 16 neon tetras, 8 guppies (all but 3 guppies are fry) and a Boesemani rainbow fish. I ordered 7 more B. rainbows but they died on the way here to Alaska) the Boesemani rainbow has been schooling with the neon tetra’s for the last month with...

Thank you Tank girl/ Roz... Yes there was a great improvement when I had him in the sick tank, ( no plants, ect) just fresh water daily and the Mardel quick cure... all the red splotches on his body/fins disappeared within a day or two and most of the white spots disappeared as well. I did find...

Hi Roz :) I am at a loss again, I put our goldfish back in with his buddy last night, they where very happy to see each other and acting like normal.... this morning I looked at them and the red streaks are now coming back on the tail of the Gold one that had been in the sick tank, I have no...

Thanks Roz, :) I bought the API Melafix, Pimafix and Aquarium salt just in case but I think you are right, I hate medicating when not needed. I will just wait and keep doing water changes :) his buddy for the last 4-5 years is getting lonely and depressed in the 45 gal. without him , hope he...

Hi Roz, I was wondering if you have any experience using API Melafix or Pimafix? Our goldfish is doing so much better but his tail/ fins still have the off white splotches, I was thinking of using one or both of these to see if it helps but the reviews are very mixed on how goldfish react to...

Goldfish getting better :) Hi Roz, just thought you would want to see a few pictures of our little one getting better, he is in a 20 gal. sick tank right now but is looking a million times better. He still has a little bit of the off white fuzzy stuff on his tail but all the red is gone and the...

He is doing great! :) the red is completely gone today. He still has a bit of the white patches but they are fading and he is much more active, his fins are also no longer clamped. I fed him some peas and a little bit of spinach yesterday and he loved them.... I think our little guy is going to...

Roz, Thank you for the food advice :) there are just two fish in the tank, the other one is still healthy so far. I set up a 20 gal. sick tank with "Mardel Quick cure" last night and some of the white and red spots are already fading... I use to feed them Blood worms 1-2 per week but they would...

Hello, One of my 4 yr. old Goldfishes has developed what I think to be a bacterial infection as well as Ick??? He has Bright red patches/ spots and soft white patches all over his body, some of the red ones look like they are internal (under the skin) and the white ones look to be soft and...

Spread sheet of my daily log- cycling Attached is a spreadsheet of my cycling numbers....

It has been 5/6 days now and the KH/GH/PH and Nitrates have all stayed the same, my ammonia went up to 4-6 ppm the next morning ( I then removed the chunks of fish and did a 10% water change so the ammonia would not rise anymore) but the Nitrites dropped the next day back to 0 ppm, is this...

Hello everyone, :) I am in the process of a 30 gal. fishless cycle, I added Cabomba, Water sprite, Anubias and Dwarf baby tears four days ago. Today I checked on the plants and they all look very healthy and some have grown about 1-2 inches already. I did notice that several branches of my...

Has the cycle restarted? Thank you guys for the help, info and links :) Yes this is a fishless cycle ( first one) and I started with 2 filters from another established tank we have, I think the problem was I only had a nylon bag with 1/4 cup of fish food floating in the tank, (starving the...

Is my tank still cycling or stalled? OK, I know I am being obsessive with my tank...lol :lol:but It has been a few more days and I have been testing my levels daily, my KH, GH, and PH are stable and have not changed in several days. KH=7, PH=7, PH=8 I am wondering if my tank is still...

I should also add that when this light is on the full spectrum setting there is no shaded/ dark spots in the tank.....

Tank size: The tank is a 30 gal. (30 in. long, 19 in. high, 12 in. wide.) With the substrate on the bottom ( gravel, slate ect) I would say about 16-17 in. from the light to the substrate.

Help, I am not new to fish tanks, but new to planted tanks. I was wondering if this light I have will be good for a med. to heavily planted tank? "Current USA Satellite Freshwater LED Plus Light for Aquarium" it does have a full spectrum setting...

Thank you BBradbury, you answered my next question, I have had several fish tanks but have never tried live plants, I was wondering if I needed to wait to for the tank to cycle to add them :) If I have a heavily planted tank will I also need to get a CO2 diffuser to keep them healthy, if so do...

Thank you Threnjen, Good to know about stability over exact levels, Yes it took 7 drops.....:)

Hi, I have a 30 gal. new tank that I have been cycling for about a week and a half now. I have added a filter from a established fish tank and it seems to be cycling pretty well. right now my numbers are as following: KH=7, GH=125.3, PH= 8.0, Ammonia=0.25, Nitrite=0 ppm, Nitrate= 0 ppm Things...
