My tank was the TopFin 5.5 gallon starter tank kit. The filter was a TopFin 10. Back when I was dumb, (:facepalm:) I got my water tested at Petsmart and it was super high in nitrates. The lady gave me these pellet things. Should I keep them in? Also I use API stress coat +, API water purifier...

How often do you clean the tank, Mar23? You said that you stocked 3 fancy guppies, 2 glofish danios and 1 false julii cory.

What fish would you recommend? I really don't like just a tank of bettas or snails (they just seem slow and nonmoving and really boring)

No, sorry:(

I cycled it for a day but I got the bacteria supplement. Also, I don't know if temperature is a factor. The room that the fish tank is in doesn't have proper insulation and my heater doesn't really do much. If I had to guess, the tank temp is anywhere between 58-64 degrees.

That's why he's dead! Thanks for your help.

My sister has a one gallon with a betta and a snail, and they seem fine. It has been living for almost 6 months together, and the worst thing that has happened was no cleaning out the tank for a month and forgetting to add dechlorinator. It should be fine.

Hello- I got a 5.5 gallon tank 4 months ago. In it were immediately stocked 1 angelfish, 3 guppies, 2 snails, bamboo, and an algae eater (non-pleco). They all died. I tried 3 guppies and two snails. They died. I tried 4 neon tetras. They died. Now, I have 2 basic female mollies and 2 snails...
