Well could I catch the tiger barb and put him in a mesh bag? Or catch the Mollie in the the bag to so the babies dont get eaten?

I have a 56 gallon tank with 5 tiger barbs 3 green tiger barbs, 2 bala sharks, and 2 mollies (one male and one female). First I will start with the Mollie. My golddust Mollie has grown a huge belly over the past few days and I am almost sure she is pregnant. I dont have any live plants just...

Okay so toady the fish that looked like it had ich is much more active than he was yesterday. He is swimming alot more and I still do not see any signs of the spots on any other fish. But something else has happened. This morning I woke up and all fish looked good except for the one with the...

Yes it does sort of look like little pieces of salt and my heater is turned up as high as it can go now which is like 86. Should I get medicine though? I really dont won't the rest of the fish to get infected? I have an airstone currently working at all times now.

I tried to take a picture of it but all you can see is him floating sort of downwards and you cant even see the spots in the picture so it would be kind of useless. But it is just tiny little white spots. Plus he is not really schooling with the rest of the fish.

Okay thanks I have still seen no sign of the angel fish yet but something knew has shown and since I already have this discussion going I'll just ask it here. Today I was feeding my fish and noticed one tiger barbs had a few tiny little spots on its fins. Is this ick im not sure and what should...

I have a glass top on the tank so there is no way he could have jumped out and I have moved everything and vacummed the gravel. There is not trace. lol

I have a 59 gallon tank with 5 small tiger barbs and 4 very small green tiger barbs a rainbow shark, 2 bala sharks very small(plan on moving them to bigger tank once they grow) and what was 2 angel fish. I have had one angel fish for about 2 weeks and was fine so I added another one. The next...

Okay nitrites have not budged at all. Ammonia is going from 4ppm to 0ppm every 24 hours. Is there anyway to speed up this nitrite stage? It just seems like the test is getting darker and darker every day.

If your ph goes down do u just do a water change?

So today I checked everything in the tank. The ammonia levels had dropped from 4ppm to. 5ppm. Hittites are still through the roof and nitrates have went up. I have read around and saw that people have had problems with this stage of the cycle. Such as Hittites get so high they want come down...

Well today I tested for ammonia and it is now in between .5 and 1ppm. Its been a little over 24 hours since I last dosed it so that seems pretty good to me and I am very happy :D. Should I go ahead and put a little more in it or wait probably until tomorrow to dose it on back up? Nitrates seem...

The ammonia or nitrites?

How long should it take for ammonia to go back down to 0ppm this time?

So during the cycle is okay for nitrates to go pretty high?
