Yep! I want to keep most of my stuff wet.. So I planned on keeping some stuff with them!

Thanks. Yeah, that's what I was going to do. I'm going to try to save as much water as I can with some water jugs and what not. I didn't think I'd need an air stone and the temp shouldn't be a problem. Just hope they're ready to embark! Thanks again!

It's not a far trip.. Only and hour and 15 to an hour and half with traffic.. I have 10 fish and a 29 gallon tank. What should I do to make this safely for my fish!? I have a week before I leave college for the summer.. So what should I do!? Thanks guys! Markk

In high school my teacher had a beautiful tank. It was a 55g with a couple types of cichlids. I sat by it and loved it. She took Care of it during the school year, and a fellow bio teacher did work during summer break. Winter break here is only 5 days, so they were fine during that. I did moat...

Thanks George! I will do a 50% pwc tomorrow anyways.. I figured I should do it anyways. And I am actually going to Chicago as since it is my home town! lol

I am leaving my college dorm tomorrow night till next friday.. One week.. What should I do about my tank? I've been reading online that they should be okay, they're 5 tiger Barbs and a Bolivian Ram Cichlid.. Do you think that should be okay? Or of I got someone to feed them once while I'm gone...

Thanks! My levels have gone wayyy down, and everyone seems active.

That makes sense actually.. Because one does it just when he's hanging out.. But sometimes, he goes way far. Almost completely vertical.. Does yours ever do that?

That is what I am doing! I did one when I woke up, and will be doing on in a couple hours. I've tested the water multiple times throughout today. The level is at a twoish right now. So I will have it down hopefully by tomorrow night. I did notice one of my barbs doing a nose stand.. I think this...

i know they're really sensitive.. and to be honest, I am surprised he's still going good.. he's acting completely fine as well. I've been looking for signs, he doesn't even show stress. I chjecked it when I got home from work, it was at 4ppm. I'm doing a water change in the morning once i'm up.

Just wanted to give an update.. My ammonia was through the roof... I feel horrible for the fish! :( I did a 50% water change and have been reading through some threads on here. Hopefully this helps. I'm prepared for the long but worth it road ahead! I am going to so a water change tonight if my...

Phisfriend.. Thanks! I wasn't sure if it was since it sat around for awhile.. I watched my nitrate and nitrite levels drop and spike and then go away.. Wasn't sure if that meant it was over lol I will get levels when I get back! Thanks

sorry Guys.. was reading about saltwater before I posted.. lol It was 3:30 in the mornig :) hahha i don't even know why I was up!

Well, I've had a tank setup at college since the first week of september.. And my fish died after putting them in about two weeks later after letting the tank cycle and such. Well, I then replaced the fish and they did well this time, Tiger Barbs and Rainbow Shark. After the hurricane and losing...

Hi everyone, and I know there are probably 6546540 post about gill flukes and stuff.. but I had some other questions about it. Well first off, my tank is a new tank. It was setup about two weeks ago. The fish were introduced Friday and Saturday. Well, they all have died. They showed signs of...
