I really like these fish. I know they are more delicate breeds to take of though. Does anyoe have any good information about them. Like water,tank and food specifications?

Judging from those pictures and the measurements id say its around 26gl.

How would I figure out the exact number of gallons my aquarium holds, its a bowfront.

Oh boy! :D *is excited* I cant wait to get my fisheys in there.

I already did stop the ammonia drops as soon as it reached about 3-4ppms. and the nitrates are over 20ppms

And i just checked my nitrAte levels and they are at 20+ ppms!! ammonia -2ppm nitrite-2ppm. lol what is going on.

Im using the master test kit by api. I add a pinch of fish food everyday, and i was adding drops of ammonia, but i feel nervous adding anymore becuase i dont want my cycle to stall again by having to much.

When i first started cycling the tank it was up around 5 ppm, after two and a half weeks of nothing happening i did a water change to bring the levels down, now id say its around 2-3ppm maybe. Those darn colors are hard to read sometimes. and the nitrite levels have spiked to around 4ppm

Also, when i first started cycling the tank, i planted some seeds for aquarium plants i got, and they have now started growing. Could this be messing with the cycling? The plants are growing healthily, not dying or anything.

I have been cycling my tank for what seems like forever. Its been about three or four weeks now, my question is this...my nitrite levels have finally risen, but my ammonia levels are still the exact same as they have been. Is this normal? Shouldnt the ammonia start to go down when the nitrite...

Yea my cycle is taking forever. almost been three weeks for me as well. still nothing happening. I feel like im never going to get my fisheys. :(

I checked just the other day, it was still zero. Il check again tommorrow. And im using a liquid drop test kit by api.

Ive been putting in drops of ammonia everyday now, but it seems like it wont get past 2ppm, I feel like im adding alot more ammonia than i did the first time, but the test tubes arent turning any greeener! I suppose il just wait some more :) Hopefully those lil bacteria buggers will start...

I have a hob carbon filter by tetra. And Im not ure where i would be able to get any seed material. Possibly the aquarium store?

Its a hob carbon filter by tetra.
