There are no more cory in the tank and the survivor is happily living in the 55 and has been since Sept 28. All other fish in that tank (36 gallon)) are doing fine.

Bottom powerhead is working. I have had another powerhead at top for a while to aggitate the water surface for gas exchange.

Update!!!!! Lone panda cory that was taken from 36 gallon tank and put into 55.......still alive!!!!! Pleco's still okay in 36. Notice that fish are also okay even when they stay at or close to bottom. Such!!!!!! a mystery!!!!! Did 50% water change yesterday and moved plants and ornaments...

Thanks for the info. I dont think that. Is happening since I have plecos in both tanks and the corys in the other tank are all alive and well

Sorry, meant SeaChem stability has beneficial bacteria in it which I use to help boost the beneficial bacteria that may have been removed. Stress Coat is used for the reason it states - to help the fish maintian their stress coat. Water changes & substrate vacuuming can cause stress.

Hello, I need to pick your brains. I have a 36 gallon bowfront and 55 gallon. Both are set up with the same substrate ( pea gravel), cannister filters and 2 power head - one at water line and one low along the back wall as well as artificial and live plants. My 55 gallon as 12 quarter to...

I also struggle with the color comparison especially between the 10ppm and 20ppm. The colors look the same on my chart and the 10 looks ever so slightly darker than the 20ppm. What I do is I lay the vial over the edge of color square so about half is covered by the liquid in the vial. Then I...

Hello - Curious minds would like to know if there is an accurate test strip out there for quick checks versus doing the API drops every day. I have bought 2 different strip tests - Adaptec 9 in 1 and something else 7 in 1 off amazon as well as a separate Adaptec ammonia test strip which, when...

Okay, ammonia & nitrites are zero/zero. Nitrates this am was more than 20 but less than 40 so 30? Yeah, 10 angels is a little much, they were bought as a lot of 10, couldn't get 5 and it is more cost effective to it that way. I really do not want to breed them but you cannot sex dime size...

I also plan on doing another water change today, probably like 1/3 this time and see if that simmers down the Nitrate some. Also, once I decide to add the angels, the goldfish are coming out and finding a new home, so their bioload will be gone. And my other Hillstream decided to wake up so I...

Hello and thanks again. Found one of my Hillstream belly up on he bottom, haven't found the other one yet - probably behind a rock, will have to locate in a bit. I bought them after watching a video about them and thinking they were hardy. Either the one I know is off in fishy heaven didn't...

Hello thanks for responding. Yes, I have had 7 feeder goldfish in the aquarium during the cycling. They are so small (4 one inch and 3-2 inch) they were not getting the tank cycled. Had a friend give me a filter cartridge from her established aquarium last week and that kick things into gear...

Hello, I tried searching for this but nothing would come up so posting this now. I have a 55 gallon tank that just completed cycling. I did a 25% water change because the narites were between 20 and 40 ppm. I have been testing the water daily, before feeding in the morning using API testing...
