I always go to same fish store and i got 1 cory a month ago, then 2 more corries 3 weeks ago ( one large with spots and another with spots and darker spots around eyes) and yesterday i got one panda cory ( first one is similar but does not have a spot around tail - only on his back) so first...

Today its Ammonia 0 Nitrite almost 2.0!!! ( very bright magenta) Nitrate 10.0 PH is a clear 7.8 - it was always 8.0-8.2 in this tank and the other one i have... what is the reason for it to drop? Anything else besides water change ( or i would say in addition to water change) - that can be...

Oh i also have a bubbler, and filter is aqueon set on high - so it agitates water well to keep it more oxygenated...

45 Gal pentagon Corner tank - set it up with silica sand substrate, mopani driftwood and some live plants. Let it run for 24 hrs and then added filter media from existing established tank and adult molly with 4 molly fry ( 4 months old or so) For some reason i thought this would be enough and a...

Thank you!!1 Or we spend like 2 -3 days getting this stand to look like it does :)) sanded old black paint off of it, stained it ( 2 coats) and clear coated. All the knobs and hinges were spray painted. Rim of the aquarium was spray painted, front seals - resealed with silicone. So it took a...

Sooo i got it up and runing 1.5 weeks ago and now it went into cycle.. for some reason i thought if i add more than half of media from my cycled tank - i can avoid that... What i did was run it for 24 hrs empty, then added filter media and adult molly with 4 molly fry ( 4 months old or so) week...

Shrimp i can keep in a 10 gal, and maybe move my betta there if he gets better. and keep my 5 neons there as well. For now when i move all fish to the bigger tank - i want to use a 10 gal as a quarantine for any new fish i will be getting. But since the tank will be planted with driftwood - i'm...

Would this be overstocked? 1 Angelfish ( or two? but i heard they do better if its either one or more than 3) 9 hatchetfish or other school? 5 mollies 4 corries 2 ottos 1 rubber lip pleco

I decided on sand substrate - bought a bag of pool sand at the local store. Washed most of it. DO you think i need to put whole 50 lbs of sand? I'm also planing a piece of driftwood ( its soaking in a bucket for almost a week now) The filter i got with tank is aquaclear 50 - took out all old...

Oh i also got a package of plants from craigslist - will these require lots of light? Tank currently has one halogen bulb ( 18 ") i'm sure it wont be enough so i would need to get another one ( there is a space on the cover for the same one) Plants: 4x Bacopa Caroliana 3x Bacopa Monnieri 5x...

SOO i got the tank on sunday and have few questions... One is i noticed tiny cracks in two of the corners of the top rim - they are hair thin and seem to be holding tank fine... do i need to worry? Two is upon ariving home it turned out that the tank is half inch larger than the stand... so in...

I am purchasing a used corner tank : corner 2 sides are 22 each, front 3 sides are 13 inches each. Height is 25" Thanks to craigslist - affordable price for tight space living room! So i would love to explore what would be good options for tankmates for: 4-5 mollies ( i'm thinking same sex to...

I have about 6 molly fry available for adoption. Pick up only! Very pretty - gold dust with some white. I'm Located in West Hollywood.

Well the fish survived my water change so far :)) so i'll try to help some more if she lets me :) and maybe convince her to get an airpump. What makes it harder to do the change is that the tank is sitting 4 inches off the floor inside the stand and there is bunch of stuff on the shelf. SO...
