I don't remember to be honest with you, it's been awhile since I've tested for hardness.

Here's some pictures

I noticed about 2 weeks ago I have this darkish blue/purple algae growing on the glass of my 25 gallon. My algae eaters don't seem to have attacked any of it, and it doesn't really scrape off with my glass scraper magnet. I tried to use a aquarium sponge to try something different, no luck. I...

It's currently in my 30 gallon, and yes, I change the water atleast every Sunday, occasionally sooner if there is leftover food on the floor or debris.

****, that seems awfully quick. Everyone I've seen post say they grow quite slowly if feeding everyday to every other day.

What was his diet if you remember when you're was mine size? How fast did yours grow to the 6-8"?

Hey guys, I usually feed my BGK a pretty decent amount of frozen blood worms. I drop maybe 15-20 Max in the tank and watch for a few minutes suck them up and I assume whatever he doesn't eat, my lemon Pleco finishes. The problem is that I can't really see a belly on him due to his fin. I can't...

I've had my BGK for over a month now and don't notice a big change in size, anyone keep them before know just how fast they grow? Mine is just a baby at about 2-3 inches maybe. I feed it primarily blood works but I've seen him pick up on flakes that I feed to the tetras in the tank. I feed it a...

Infections cause from the wounds from the ich? Ive never had an infection occur after treating ich, but I'm assuming some common signs would be like pink area, or like a hair like bacteria growing on spots of the fish? Any advise or things to look for?

Well, my guppies have pink poop depending on what I feed them. Never seen it not breakoff though. Epsom salt can be a solution if it is truly constipated. That being said though, internal parasites can also be located within the anus of the fish and what're you're looking at could actually be a...

The tank is currently going between 86-87 and the ghost is seeming to do fine. All white spots on all fish so far have disappeared and all of them are eating and swimming around normally. I always run sponge filters in my tanks with decent aeration, I've since turned it up as well to use with...

I'm assuming the regular two week heat treatment is recommended as well for scaleless fish? Is changing water every other day okay or would you have a different approach?

In treating fish nor keeping fish, been doing it and researching it for many years. However, it is first time keeping a sensitive fish like this. Not looking for criticism or anything like that, that's why I left fishlore.com in the first place lol. Any advise or suggestions is welcome. Some...

Hey guys, I have a black ghost fish with what appears to be a spot of ich. I have 6 ember Tetras and a lemon blue eye pleco. Pleco seems uneffected, but there is a tetra with 3 spots and another with 1. Salt seems highly dangerous with the BGK as well as most medication. I've began to raise the...
