Ok. I can definitely do that. Thank you for all of the help! It is really useful.:cool:

Yeah.. the pleco is about 1 to 2 inches right now, and I am pretty sure it is a common pleco. The yellow labs are tiny though right now, so couldn't they live in the 29 for a while?

Okay. I think that I will take the goldfish back to the LFS or re-home them. I really don't have the money, let alone the space to get two 55 gallon tanks. I will be returning the goldfish tonight, and I read the cycling thread you sent earlier, and I will cycle it for a month or two. I knew it...

Sorry :( I will answer every question to the best of my abilities. 1: The afflicted fish are goldfish. They look just fine, but they keep hovering at the bottom of the tank about a millimeter away from the surface, or even touching it. I don't have the exact values for all of these, but...

All right. Sorry about that. So two of my three seem to do that this, and none of my other fish do it either. In total I have 3 common goldfish, 3 TINY baby yellow lab cichlids, 3 mystery snails, 1 catfish and 2 angels. Trust me. I know it is overstocked, but I am trying to get the money to set...

For the past few days my goldfish has been hovering over the gravel, maybe just touching the bottom. It started after a bad infection of ick showed up, and I used an ick clear tablet by Tetra. He doesn’t act as if he is sick, just more of a change in attitude. He also will sometime hover at the...

That one was a common pleco I am pretty sure. I am aware of how big they can get, and I am not planning on adding ANY new fish. Both of my tanks are stocked like crazy, so I am trying to get my 29 gallon setup and ready as soon as possible. I have used AqAdvisor, and it is really cool. Thank you...

Alrighty. Thank you so much for the help. I REALLY appreciate it. I will definitely make sure to introduce the aquarium water into the bag they come in. Also I make sure I don't let the water in the bag that they come in get into the tank. I will scoop them out of the bag, or put them into a...

Also, reading posts on this site, I have grown to learn that.

My personal LFS is a Petco.

No, I haven't, but with my next fish I will definitely try it. The freaking bags that the fish come in are impossible to open. I always have to cut them open. Thanks for the advice

And when I last tested on Wednesday at the LFS they said that all of my levels were perfect. As in ammonia at 0. But I don't have ammonia test to see. The tests that I bought for the soul purpose of testing ammonia, don't test ammonia. I am pretty observant, aren't I? :blink:

I usually acclimate them for around 15 minutes, or in today's special case around 30-40. They usually die either next day withing 24 hours, or no more than 3 days. I am assuming that unless there is something SUPER bad in the tank, they wouldn't have died from me. They were sick when I bought...

Cycle The tank has been with me for about a month but no more than 2 for sure. About two weeks ago, when the ammonia had messed with me enough, I put all of the fish into one tank for about a day or two (I swear, I didn't over stock or put them with bad tank mates) and gave almost everything a...

I didn't notice anything wrong with him or other fish when he was in the tank at the store. In the bag he just kinda sat in the corner and stared, but I did acclimate him for around 15-20 minutes. I have put water conditioner in the tank, and when I bought him from the LFS they tested my water...
