I dont know if I can ,make them promise. I have a molly that thinks he owns the tank sometimes! Many years ago we had a 75 gallon tank and the wife cleaned it when the water got foggy. We never knew anything about fish keeping except we had some gold fish,Molly's and Guppys. Trying to make a...

GATOR Hose is the hose that retracts into a little ball. But anyhow maybe I will just fill a couple five gallon buckets and and treat them and see how they test after waiting a few hours. I agree on the over thinking on the hobby and I do that a lot no matter what I do! I am always looking for...

I am wondering how everyone fills their tanks at water changes? I have the GATOR hose that I was wondering if it was safe to use? It has only had pottable water through it but would like to make things easier for a guy with a broken back. I carry 2.5 gal per trip to an 36 gallon tank. I could...

Problem solved! Just to follow up after the advice. It was water hardness problem. Purchased pH 7.0, I did a 25% water change and added the pH7.0 and problem began to clear up later in the day and was with in all normal the next day. I took a sample to the fish store and explained what was...

We haven't added any for more than a month and we are at our limit on the tank now. but as I said as the fish get bigger we will be adding a larger tank in the next couple months. No they aren't encouraging me to buy more fish. When we had it tested after about 3 weeks from set up. it was ok to...

I'm a bit over careful also, they call us perfectionist and that is why I seek advice and yours seems sound to me. I thought about doing more 10% water changes in lieu of scheduled 25 or 50% changes. What do you mean an odd mix? Now that the angels are gone, wifes choice, we added a 3 molly...

Thanks for the quick reply. As far as the tap water goes we are on a rural line but we treat the aquarium water with ammonia remover. The wife has a 2.5 gal that she keeps in the kitchen and we had the same problems with it also but it resolved with time and a serious water change. On...

Hello, I have a 36 gal setup for nearly 2 months and have got it to cycle and everything tested excellent except the ammonia levels. I changed out 50% and added ammonia remover. It would go from 8.0 and then I have been as high as 0.25 and since the 50% was done on Saturday, I checked it on...

Thats pretty sound info. We asked about each fish as we considered and looked. The lady seemed to be knowledgeable but she said that our choice of fish was a good mix. The wife still wants to try the Mollies in the bigger tank with the other fish, I think since the plan is for a bigger tank, I...

New to tropical fish. We had a 75 gal many years ago but the wife took care of it. Anyhow =, we jumped back in and have started with a 36 gal. bow front. In order to get it established we settled on tiger barbs and was told of the different fish we could add later. Among those fish were...
