Estimated value of 300, willing to scrap fish by fish if necessary. Also willing to negotiate price. The 29 g is a planted community tank with a nice piece of drift wood with anubis, double filtration, and media. Stocked with 2 male dwarf gouramis, 3 black skirt tetra, 1 glo tetra, 2 Mickey...

...hello everyone

They seem to be a mild mannered species with little genetic variance. Behaviorally, they should be fine... However ive found that community mixtures can be hit or miss, they may not get along for some reason, but it's not likely. Just keep out large species that can fit them in their mouths.

I fashioned a grate out of plastic grid (cm sized holes) from the crafts section at a chain store nearby to prevent debris from getting in my filter. You can zip tie it around an intake or secure it in the gravel depending on the type of filter you have. Crafts and diy work have been a big part...

Have had an algae problem in all of my tanks, 3 to be exact, all about the same age. The algae started off brown, now turning green, blue in some tanks. Need help identifying them, with possible fixes. These are here because I was generally told to let it run its course, but I didn't expect Blue...

Also, what kind of filtration?

Curious, how old is the tank? I have a 6 mo old tank that just finished its cycle. Did you do 100% filter floss change?

Got a picture of it?

What's you experience level? Tank prep (did you allow the tank to go through a nitrogen cycle/did you start of in the 1gal?), current h2o parameters, planted or plastic? What kind of goldfish is it? A couple of hours looking through the web will edify you greatly. Google and read like a beast.

Won't the chlorinated water swishing through everything kill the bacteria (if you dose before adding)? I keep my water in a bucket for 30min-1hr before adding.

I went hard last night and dosed the tank with baking soda. In about 18 hours it brought the ph up to 7.6...yikes. I know this is horrible for the fish but it seemed like they were dying either way.

It seems like the bacteria is fighting to catch up, the nh3 levels read between .25 and 1 ppm

Sorry that is the low on reg ph, had trouble with settings on camera. I've looked into coral, and have used baking soda before. Been doing partial water changes 3 or 4 times a week until nh3 levels hit 0, then I added 2 extra gourami on a whim. I have another 29g im about to cycle for a school...

A better shot

This is a 29g high stocked with 3 platys (original stock), 6 neon tetras, 3 black skirt hi fin tetras, and what I assume are 4 male dwarf gourami. I'm running a top fin filter that came with the tank along with a marineland 20g biowheel (new, with old media). a diy power head filter and an...

Luckily I have a lot of used media at this point. I'm worried about stirring up the substrate and plants in the 20g with the barbs in it bc I will have to keep them in there until the larger tank cycles. Just started setting up the new tank...

What is your lighting/ light schedule?

Thanks for the advice, I hate to muck up the substrate but will do anything to avoid waiting for my new tank to cycle.

Excellent, thanks alot!

Thanks, should I be concerned about a loss of bacteria if I drain most of the water in order to drop the weight? I don't trust the pressure from the inside on the bottom of the tank...

I think the bar is pretty solidly built, could be mistaken however.

Welcome, fellow fish-aholic.

A pic of my buddies

I'm about to set up and cycle a 29g for a school of tiger barbs I overstocked (didn't consider space taken by filters, substrate, plants and driftwood). I'm trying to imagine how to move the established 20g tank and set up a 29g in it's place and moving 10 tiger barbs, all without the bottoms...

Recently bought aquarium seed shipped from China and planted it. It is the carpet plant you see. Anyone know how to maintain?
