The 10G is just a temporary quarantine, but each time I get new fish over the next few weeks I will have it in use for them so moving the filter over won't be an option, the filter media however I will be moving. I'll be moving the heater and all the plants over as well. In the 10G is only a...

Im trying to do a fishes cycle in my 20G tank and currently am using my 10G tank as quarantine for a new gourami. I have a cycled filter in the 10G and have put the ceramic tubes from the 20G filter in the 10G tank to try and seed bacteria, thats been there for a week. I've never had issues...

The nitrite levels are 0, I have ordered an ammonia testing kit but it hasn't yet arrived. That said I did a water change as soon as I removed the dead fish so readings won't reflect the levels at time of death. All the other fish are fine so far so I'm not sure if ammonia is to blame. The...

So today I've come home, looked at my tank and found one of my harlequin rasboras floating at the top. For the past few days his dark patch on his sides have been faded but I didn't think it was any cause for concern. He's been keeping up with the others and eating normally up until now. When...
