Hello AA members! I learned the hard way that you lovely folks are the ones to ask advice from :-) I am restarting my tank. I have a 10g with 3 Zebra Danios so far. I'd like to fill out the school and then add 1 (maybe 2) centerpiece fish. A dwarf Gourami? An Angelfish? Something else? I know...

So put in the old filter and do the whole cycle again? Like the month long version?

Also, should I get new filter media?

So all of my fish died. I had an ammonia problem that I just couldn't kick. I guess I should cycle my tank before getting new fish? I dumped out the water, but do I want to do more than just add new water and put in Prime ammonia and water conditioner? What would be a proper stocking plan for...

Also, my filter has a removable, replaceable piece that looks like a big tea bag. I don't know what to call it. I do half water changes every two weeks.

I use a liquid kit, but it only indicates ammonia. I set up the tank maybe 2 months ago. I let it run without fish for a week. Is that enough of a cycle? How can I do fishless cycling I'd not everyone is dead yet?

Had a 10g with 1 dwarf gourami, 1blk skirt tetra, 3 cardinal tetras, and 2 ottos. About a week ago I found 2 cardinals dead. The people of AA said it was ammonia, because mine was at 0.5. I switched from using Amquel to Prime for ammonia treatment. I then lost both ottos. Today I went to the...

Thanks everyone. I know that I have a lot of fish in the tank, nut they are ok since they are all still very small and young. I willbe upgrading in a year or so when the fish get larger. What is BB?

Also, how quickly do they need to be replaced? Since they are schooling fish and all, and there is only one left...?

The ottos are new. I've had them since Wednesday the 28th. The gourami has been there for a month. The others 2 months or maybe 10 weeks. Yes I cycled the tank. I put in the anti-ammonia stuff, and that always seems to do the truck. But even if it is the ammonia, then why were their tails missing?

I have a 10 gallon with a small dwarf guormi, a black skirt, 2 ottos, and 1 Cardinal tetra. There used to be 3 Cardinal Tetras but today I found 2 dead in a plant. Their tails were gone and some of the skin as well. The 2 ottos are the newest additions. I checked my levels, I have an ammonia...

What do you guys think if I add a few more black skirts and then a ghost shrimp?

Thanks for the advice. I had more black skirts but they died. I will fill out the schools before I get anything else. Thanks!

I'd prefer fish. But I'm open to other suggestions. What do u have in mind?

What type of algae eater is appropriate for a 10 gallon. I have 3 cardinal tetras, 1 ack skirt tetra And 1 blue dwarf gourami. I don't really have an algae problem; I just think they're cool :-)
