I do have a scientific way of testing, it includes putting in enough water to submerge the rock in, then try to test for chemicals around a week or so every day. if there are bad results then you could choose not to use it or to repurpose it but I am also assuming you have access to that type of...

Indian almond might help too possibly. If you use driftwood and peat moss and a few of those leaves that might work. I can calculate how many you'd need based on the info I got from the links I sent, but like Aiken said it will not do much but will help a bit. The article from building your...

yeah like you said it might be the substrate if you like it take it out for a few days and if it still does not lower put it back in that being said here is what you wanted on bacteria it is a bit of a long read tho https://www.osti.gov/pages/servlets/purl/1307331 these are for lowering ph...

this should help a little :)

wrong image lmao that's my cat (well one of them)

are the green cory new to the aquarium or long-time dwellers? if they aren't brand new Id need to do some more research but if they are I found a link that could help. :)

this link should help, it shows six different methods too so there should be something there to help, if not id be pretty surprised! https://urbanfishkeeping.com/how-to-lower-gh-in-your-aquarium/

that's good that everything else survived I wish you good with those evil little things!

your writing really hits me close to my heart too, I feel you with all the planning!

2.5 is my first set up, and I just got a 10 gallon from my grandma. (it's my birthday today) I am a minor so my father bought me the fish I listed, he ordered online so I do not think I can send the shrimp back, do you have any tips for making sure they are going to be safe while it cycles? I...

okay, thank you so much! I am new to having aquariums and am still getting used to it but a lot has cleared but and I did end up running the filter and it helped a bit mainly because I am going to be upgrading the media anyways will probably change most of the water because I have no fish yet...

This video is a little long but should help here is another place to check tho Fenbendazole dosing

that was a very very good read kudos!!

if the egg-laying female cory isn't sick with anything I'd probably put them in a tank together that is away from the ones in quarantine or at least not sick with any thing transmitable

Aquaclear is a good hob filter. The wire cutter recommends it and it's upgradeable. I'm wondering if you know any good filter sponges because of how long you have been in the trade? I will be able to review Nolan's aquarium on Tuesday (possibly Wednesday) for fish quality and you're welcome to...

There are not very many sites I can go off of sorry, but if they are washed and not terribly large then it might be fine because of the small amounts of chemicals. I hope this helps in some way!

I know it said on the instructions that that is normal, but are there any other stipulations like should I be running the filter while it's settling? If anyone can tell me the dos and do not that would be amazing! Any other advice for beginners would also be appreciated. I just do not want to...

So I got a freshwater aquarium! And the fish I really want to get down the line (well technically a stomapod but it's still a water creature lmao) is a mantis shrimp because one they can punch up to 50 miles an hour (which is dope) and they are such a beautiful green. Right now I am ordering...

good night everyone ! :)

I am getting a new tank it is late right now for me so I will be updating more in the morning but here is the basic stuff I'm getting azoo mignon 60 (I am going to update media inside anyone who knows some really good sponges would be amazing because I do not know much about that yet), either...

So this is my tank right now. I had it cycling before but sadly since I have siblings there was catnip and paint put into the tank. But nothing I couldn't fix. Cleaned that out and now I have a nice tank. Here are the supplies I'm considering.

I can only vouch based on my memories and recent experience but my location has always had the fish in good shape. Sure they're a big retailer but they're way better than some. The live plants I'll get from large chain stores. I do know they are very different, but for my location the general...

I mainly buy cat stuff from there, but the people in my particular location have always known a little more than the absolute requirement. I do not buy fish from there but most of the time their bettas are looking good in their little cup things, except for occasional sad one. But otherwise...

I can also say I do enjoy my local Petco, but there was the one fish that just looked so depressed and his colors were dull. I thought he was dead for a second because he was not moving. Staff were friendly and I can verify that the small animals looked very happy including the birds and snakes...

thank you :)
