    Cory with maybe fungus?

    So I was browsing the forums and it seems I've been testing wrong. So I tested all my tanks and this is what I got... In order of appearance - 10g 20g 40g 40g the 3rd one w/ the higher n3 is where the Cory is. So I guess all my tanks are cycled and probably have been for some time. I'm just...

    Cory with maybe fungus?

    Looks similar to this but not as advanced and brown instead of white. I did a water change and added pimafix last night. I have both liquid and strip tests but I generally only use the liquid because the strips don't test for ammonia. I got the tank second hand back in February and it was filthy...

    Sorry I should've included more info. The tank is a 40g tall. It has a penguin 200 hob filter and 2 diy filters that my husband made with my airstones in plastic bottles w/ sponges and bio balls. The pH is 7.5 am, n2, & n3 are all at 0. 30% weekly water changes w/ gravel vac. Tank mates are 4...

    Vegetables

    +1 peas! My fish love 'em. My male ram gets very territorial over his pea lol. I had an algea eater that loved broccoli and zucchini. Keep in mind they're like babies and you have to try a few times before they decide to like it. They may not recognize it as food yet. Sent from my Nexus 7 using...

    Lethrinops sp. Red cap compatibility

    Those are some great suggestions! I looked them up and they're all beautiful! Another question, do they need dither fish and if so could you suggest a school that enjoys the same water/environment? I'm not looking to breed so im thinking of going all male. Should I do single males or could I...

    Lethrinops sp. Red cap compatibility

    I'm looking at stocking ideas and I know I really want a Red cap but I've read they're very docile and I'm not sure what would be good tank mates for them. Obviously nothing aggressive and something that enjoys the same environment. Any opinions? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice...

    Cycling dilemma

    So I have a 20g that had been setup for a couple months. Had a couple guppies in it, 1 bee shrimp, a mystery snail, marimo ball, driftwood, bubbler and a potted lucky bamboo. I wanted to make a home for my pair of rams, so I moved everyone to an established 10g, broke down my tank, added play...

    are these levels bad/how do I change them?

    I vacuumed half the gravel today and did a 50% WC. Prior to changing it I tested the ammonia in the tank and out of my tap and the colors matched, no ammonia. So either the good bacteria worked overtime last night or I misread the test yesterday. The pH was still low though. Could that be...

    are these levels bad/how do I change them?

    Won't changing that much that often stress the fish? It's my sons tank. He got it as a b-day gift from his grandparents last August. I feel like I have to make it work or risk disappointing him and my mother in law :-\

    Electric blue ram w/ spot

    I got a pair of rams last week and a couple days ago I noticed a spot on his fin. Is it ick? Can I use petcos herbal ick treatment with the water conditioner in my tank? It says not to use w/ sulfinate, I didn't see that in the ingredients on my other stuff. My temp is usually 83f but I started...
