hey, i'll be leaving my fish for 4 weeks and i don't know if they will be alright without a water change for that long. the longest they have gone with the same water is two weeks, and for good reason i have never let them go longer. i have everything else sorted with a timed light and an...

when did you pour your water in there, and did you rinse the gravel first? this might be completely normal, if it's cloudy- it's probably just the gravel. your filter should make the water much clearer overnight. if not, try using a water clearer, or pop a couple water clearing balls in the...

Hi, I added two ricefish to my aquarium today, and realised that one of them has a lump on its underbelly. Not sure of the gender.

first thing first, do a water change of 10-20%, or more of the water. then, check your filter- is there anything there that there shouldn't be? are you feeding your fish coloured food? how big is your tank? how many fish do you have in there, and what species? do you have driftwood in your...

everything is turning orange? is your water cloudy? are you sure your tank is cycled- if not, add in some quick start to add live bacteria into the water. it seems like you already have an ammonia source though. what are your test results?

oh wow ok dw. there are plenty videos on the internet on how to get your new fish used to your aquarium, and usually you are informed about the process when you are buying them. once you have done all the steps, get the fish out of the bag into the aquarium water by using a net/netting them...

oh okay thanks i was told they could...i'll see what i can do

okay thanks

hi! i bought three albino cherry barbs today and followed the instructions on the bag to acclimate them to their new tank. however, i poured in the let shop's water into my tank and watched a video after which told me i shouldn't have poured in that water. i'm a bit worried now, but i'm not...

hello, same result (about an 8.0 for ph) and nitrate but less for nitrite

okay, thanks a lot. i'll send you the results once i am able to test the water.

hello, just read through community guidelines and turns out you may not have received my reply as i added a link to one of my information sources. i prefer the fish in method, so i will probably go with that next weekend. thanks for letting me know about the minnows and other fish, no surprise...

thank you so much! very helpful. i think i will try the fish in method. i should've known that the pet store was not going to be very accurate with the amount of fish i can keep- some of the staff were telling me i could keep a GOLDFISH in my tank, and that 'it will just die a bit earlier, but...

my tank is around 5 1/2 gallons (25 litres) and i do not have any fish in there yet. i am planning on getting a few smaller fish, such as assorted danios and minnows next weekend. i'm not sure how to tell whether or not my tank is cycled, but i did use the required amount of quickstart and i...

Hey:) I set up a new aquarium a week ago and just recently found out that i need to test my water for all sorts of chemicals, so i did my first test today and it only passed for nitrate with a score of 40 :blink: the rest were all too high. how can i lower my GH, KH,PH and nitrite levels? or...
