    Trying to reduce nitrite and nitrate.

    Okay I will look into a 20g today! Because i already have the guppies should I look into rehoming or just wait until the pass and not replenish? Also I just bought sand the other week so I will put that in when I get the 20g!

    Trying to reduce nitrite and nitrate.

    Thank you both!! I will work to do all off that:) all I know is they are Cory catfish bc that’s all the label said at the pet store. If I get a ten gallon is it okay to keep all of the fish in the tank then? If I only get a ten should I keep at 2 or get some more Cory’s ?

    Trying to reduce nitrite and nitrate.

    Trying to work on reducing the nitrate/ite in my tank! Recommendations? I got some new filter media to help but I feel like it doesn’t help much. Everything else is testing fine except for the alkalinity which is a bit low. I have live plants (I forget the names but I can see if I can find out...

    What’s this ball on my fishes mouth?

    Yea it disappeared really quick after I noticed it but when I first watched her it looked attached but now it’s gone! I’ll keep an eye out later. They are guppies so I thought they didn’t lay eggs? Wonder if it’s substrate but looked a little off to be that. Anything else it could have been...

    What’s this ball on my fishes mouth?

    Hi! I woke up to this giant ball sticking off my fish (as I’m typing this I look back and it’s gone?? But still wondering) it moves as she opens her mouth etc and is just swimming around like normal. What is it?

    Thank you! I will go look at my local pet store and/or pick up some sponges for this! I really appreciate all of the help and you taking the time to explain! Another issue has come to my concern too. I haven’t introduced any new fish and have fed flakes to them in the meantime, but one of my...

    My 3 guppies died overnight

    Wow, this is extremely helpful. A lot of it contradicts what family had taught me but makes so much more sense ! Thank you so much. I’ll see if I can do a water test at my pet store or purchase a kit to check it. Here is a photo of one of my black mollies- the other one is hiding right now...

    My 3 guppies died overnight

    So I thought they lost colour but when I took them out the colouring is still there. I’m assuming they have been dead for 24 hours as they were fine yesterday morning no signs of anything. I’ve had this tank for 2 years but had a few sick fish that passed so I cleaned out the tank fresh. Put new...

    My 3 guppies died overnight

    Sorry if this is the wrong place. Yesterday morning I fed my fish (3 guppies and two black mollies) brine shrimp like I have been. All fish are new to the tank for about a week. Went to feed them this morning and all three were dead. Two have completely lost colouring (not sure if that’s normal...
