Sorry I meant 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons. No white spots or any other discoloration. The fish has been in the tank for about 8 months. Last time I had the water checked was about a month ago and the guy said there was nothing wrong with it (I am still waiting for the API master test kit to arrive).

This morning I noticed one of my lemon drop cichlids rubbing itself on the gravel for about five minutes. So I turned up the heat to 80F, added five table spoons per gallon of AIP freshwater salt (so a little under 5). The tank is 29 gallon it has a two filters running one tetra whisper 30 and...

untreated slate

Thanks it does. Any plant recommendations and will i be able to add Kuhli loaches

Should I take the fish out of the tank when i do this?

Any!!! one?????

Not sure. There's no marking on it, it came with a Tetra 29 gallon deluxe kit.

This weekend I would like to change from gravel to sand, add lives plants and add some Kuhli loaches. The tank is 29 gallons 3x long-finned rosy barbs between 2 and 2 ½ inches 3x Giant danios between 2 and 2 3/4 4x long-finned danios three of them are around 1 inch and the forth is 2 3x...

Oh thank you.

I assume it means that the don't grow to their full length so their growth is stunted.

The one in the 15 gallon lived for 6 years and died because the heater broke while I was on vacation. I have had current one for almost 2 months. Another thing his(hers) scales get darker when he is on darker objects and gets lighter when he is on lighter colored objects is this normal?

The reason I got it was because we one in 15 gallon years ago and it did fine. Well that's what I get for trusting petsmart. And if he(she) dose out grow this tank there's one more reason to buy a bigger tank:grin:.

The pleco is 2 to 2.5 inches hard to tell when ever time i try to look at him(her) it swims away. As for the cichlids I've seen them swim with the danios (all so 1 inch except one that's 2inch ) for five or so minutes without any bulling:grin:.

Hello I am new to the form but not a complete newbie to fish-keeping. I currently have 29gallon(cycled) tank. With 4 giant danios, 4 long-finned danios, 3 rosy long-fined barbs, 1 common pleco and 3 yellow lab cichlids (their only 1inch at the most). So far no fights or bulling for about a month...
