I wonder if part of it is due to over feeding? and I use prime when doing water changes.

If the tap water is at .50 will that keep the ammonia high? And could it be the fish that died that raised the ammonia? Its tested like that for 6 months with no problem. Wonder if I change the water evry two weeks or just do a 1/4 change if that would be better?

Ive been doing a 50 % once a week.

Filter takes two and I change them every two months but not the bio wheels. melafix is a natural antibacterial remedy for red sores, fin rot, eye mouth body slim body wounds. It looked like the dollars mougills were getting red but dont looked infected and pet store said it wouldnt hurt putting...

75 gal and tank has been going for 6 months now. I did like 75 % Fiday on water change.

Wow, Tank has been good for 6 months with no fish loss and Silver dollars are about 3 inches around now and Tiger Barbs are about 1 1/2 to two inches and look like I could fa lay one lol. BUT I had a pocaustamus- (spelling) die and didnt know for about a week and Silver Dollars haven't eaten in...

We haven't tested the water since, We just do a 75% change every Saturday and all is good. We bought some Malaysian big chunks of wood and after about 4 days or like about Thursday the water changes a little to yellow and our fish store said its from the wood and will get better and seems like...

Just wanted to let you all know our fish have been fine since we got rid of the ich. They have really grown fast also. Thanks for all the help.

The python saved us a lot of work cycling our 75 with fish. For a week Into the 5Th and 6Th week we did two 75 to 80 % changes a day. Set it up got it going and watched TV while it did it thing LOL. We let a trickle come out in the sink with thermometer in it to keep a check on water temp when...

The next day ammonia was at 0 and Nitrites were at 0 but today the NitrAtes were high so did a half tank water change and added some more ich meds. Silver dollar is looking like the white spots are disappearing and is the only fish with ich. Also added some ammonia to 30 gallon tank as it was...

My son did a water change this morning and we just checked it this late afternoon and Nitrites are still 0. Before today by this time the Nitrites would be up. Ammonia .50 but I get that from tap Nitrite 0 NitrAte In between 20 to 30 At its worst for people that are new we did like 2 80% water...

Only did one water change today. 2 days and it will start the 6Th week. before water change Nitrites were 2.0 and I didnt check anything else. After water change about 75 % Ammonia was .25 but its coming from my tap Nitrites 0 NitrAtes 20 I think I will be ok with 1 water change a day now. I...

Thanks again Fort. Yesterday and today had to do 2 water changes again, Think I should clean the gravel tomorrow. I did about 3 piles in the front and the gravel does have a little bit of stuff in it. Not much tho.

Thanks again. It tested .50 out of the tap. I didnt see how far my son took the water down but he said this second time today he took it down over 75% so I bet that's why. Tank was almost empty. I told my son not to take it down that far next time. I'm usually helping but had to leave for a bit...

This is some weird stuff. Did another 75% change then waited an hour to tast and this is what we got. Ammomia .50 Nitrites .25 NitrAtes 20 to maybe 40 Why would the Ammonia go up. I will test it again as maybe I put 1 drop to much out of a bottle.
