I'm using a liquid test kit. I only remembered the possibility of neon tetra disease last night, and did not move the fish. If it's a disease, my other tank is full of tetras, so that'll just put the disease in there if that's it. The tank that is having issues is running an Aquino quiet flow...

Bumping, any ideas here?

Hi, I can't quite figure out what's wrong with one of my tanks. It's a 10 gallon tank, only neon tetras (well, only one now). I had 6 in there. A few weeks back, I moved the tank from my basement, which is usually a bit on the colder side in the summer, to the upstairs floor, usually hotter. I...

It never occurred to me to pour it down the toilet to be honest. I suppose I could if I had to. The bathtub or shower would require dragging it up an extra flight of stairs. Honestly, I just usually watch the weather. It doesn't usually stay below freezing for too many days in a row for it to...

I have to dump my tank water outside, into the garden. If I'm not careful, it'll run onto the side walk. If it's below freezing, this obviously can cause a problem. Had there been any signs of issues with the fish, I would have done it right away. I just waited a few hours so I wouldn't make...

The only other thing my betta had lived with prior to the cories were ADFs. I never saw him harass anyone, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. I still have to check the water and do my water change. I'm waiting till it gets above freezing.

It didn't look like fin rot on the one that died most recently. The betta and the first one to die I couldn't tell as much. Between when I left for work and then went on my trip, I essentially didn't see the them for 4 days, and they had obviously been dead a bit when I did get home. For all I...

I have a few questions about cory cats. About 2 and a half weeks ago, I bought 3 green cory cats. I put them in my 10 gallon tank, that I thought contained just a betta (I had thought all my ADFs had died, but I apparently had one left) to quarantine before moving to a 20 gallon with skirt...

I did check the nitrates sometimes, and they were high, which meant at some point I had to have nitrites. I got 8 neon tetras and 4 of the glow fish ones. So far so good. Of course, I'm in the path of the hurricane. I'm going to hope I can get a backup air pump somewhere tomorrow before things...

I ended up draining it down to near nothing, refilling, getting a handful of gravel from another tank, and putting fish in. So far so good, I got them Wednesday I believe. I got one of the stickup things for ammo so I could see it right away of I walked by if I had any and change the water right...

There apparently is ammo in my tap water. Weird, there was none last year, and I was able to get drops to 0. It tested between .25-.5. I'm checking to see if anyone has a cycled tank now.

I'm waiting till it goes to 1, sometimes it goes a little below depending on where I catch it, and dosing it back to 4, just like the guide says to do. There is no ammo in my tap water, or at least there was not last time I cycled this tank a little over a year ago, so there shouldn't be now. I...

Today- ammo looks .5 or 1, depending on how it's held, nitrite is 0. Added ammo to get it back to 4. What's up with this?

Current readings. This is getting annoying.

Water change last night. Dosed to what should have been about 2. I don't get how I am never catching any nitrite. I'm getting some neon and skirt tetras, possibly the glofish ones, and a few small Cory cats. Maybe a Dwarf Gourami, but I don't know about that.
