I have a bunch of live plants. I've seen two fry thus far (one hiding by the suction cup of the thermometer & one hiding in one of the black corners of the fish tank). Perhaps there are more in the plants that I can't see.

I've had my tank up & running for ten days now. Have been cycling with five Zebra Danios, while doing my 25% PWC today, I spot a microscopic fish, which could only be a Zebra Danio. Is this common? How many do they usually have? I only spot one, where could the rest be hiding? I have a lot of...

Hey all, back with an update. Tell me how I'm looking... Day 9 of my fish in cycle (5 Zebra Danios). Did a 25% (5 gallon) water change Sunday, was going to do one again tonight after my testings. (API Test Kit). My testings show the following: 0.25 ppm - Ammonia +/- 2.0 ppm NitrIte 5.0 -...

Hey guys, back with an update. I changed 25% of the water as instructed. I retested yesterday morning & the Ammonia was up around 1.5 ppm according to API Test Kit, so I did another 25% water change yesterday morning around 10 am. I tested the water this morning 11:30 am, I have the following...

Hey there, just did my tests for the day using API Test kit. My ammonia is at 1 - 2 ppm. I should now do a 25% water change? I should treat the 5 gallons I change with the water treatment liquid & then put it in correct?

Great thanks. Also when I add the water conditioner, let's say I change 5 gallons of water, do I add conditioner equivalent to 5 gallons (in to the bucket of new water). Or do I put the new water in & add the conditioner for the 5 gallons or for the whole 20 gallons?

Hey there, I'm back in the hobby after about ten years. Got a tank for my son & I to enjoy. Currently doing fish in cycling with 5 zebra danios in a 20 gallon tank. Have had the tank cycling for three days now, tests all look good, fish look like they're having fun & the water is clear. How...
