    Ammonia poisoning with 0PPM ammonia?

    I didn't actually realize that the tests expired, so thanks for the heads up! They're good until 2024. I'll try taking some to my LFS, that's a good idea. The Cory didn't make it sadly :(. I did a 50% water change yesterday and did another test this morning. pH-7.6, Nitrites-0ppm, Nitrates are...

    My Amanos are escape artists

    Hi Everyone, Just wondering if you all have any insight into why my Amonos are crawling out of my tank at night. I'm new to keeping shrimp, and got some to try and combat algae. I've had 2 in 2 weeks escape. The first didn't survive, but the second one was alive when I found it this morning...

    Stocking advice

    I had 3 loaches the last time I was able to use aqadvisor. Maybe it believes 3 is an acceptable number, as it never mentioned anything about requiring more.

    Stocking advice

    I've heard from some people that say it works for them, but everytime I try and go on, be it on my home computer, work computer, or phone, I get a "domain for sale" page. I've been getting it for months now. So I have no idea... ?*♂️

    How long should I expect my GBR to recover from Cotton Wool Disease?

    Thanks! I've got the temp at 83 already, and ill up my water changes. Apparently my province is allowing vets to reopen next week (they just announced this afternoon), so maybe i'll be able to get something prescription strength.

    How long should I expect my GBR to recover from Cotton Wool Disease?

    He does seem to slowly be getting better, the size and surface area covered by fungus has gone down significantly, so I'm not giving up hope yet. How much more aggressively could I treat him? 1.5 tablespoons per gallon of salt? 2? scraping the fungus off with a razor seems too agressive, lol...

    How long should I expect my GBR to recover from Cotton Wool Disease?

    Hi all, As the title says, I have a German Blue Ram with cotton wool disease that has developed on his tail. He is in a hospital tank right now. I live in Canada where getting any proper meds is extremely difficult. Someone gave me their remaining kanaplex, which equaled a total of 4 doses, and...

    Stocking advice

    After my last attempt, I said I was going to stop bringing them home to die. Maybe I'll try one more time if I end up moving my remaining one.

    Stocking advice

    Thanks for the advice. I've tried on more than one occasion to keep multiple Otto, but I seem to have trouble keeping them. Had 6 at one point, but they kept dying.

    Stocking advice

    Hi Everyone! Since AQadvisor went down, I feel completely clueless about stocking levels on my tank, so I'm looking for some advice/ideas. One of my angelfish recently died, and I'm trying to decide what to restock my tank with. I've read a lot of places that suggest just leaving my remaining...

    Looking to add some new fish

    Hello Everyone, I recently set up a second small aquarium for my kids, and moved some fish from my main tank over to it. Now I'm looking at options for replacing them. Below are the details of my main tank: 36 Gal Fluval i206 canister filter & Aquaclear 30 HOB filter 76-77° 16 gal weekly...
