Wow that’s incredible. I enjoyed reading through your comment it really seems like you care about the fish a lot that’s amazing :) currently for me I feed my baby guppies flakes and i ordered brine shrimp so I’m going to see if they’ll eat that . My adult guppies get bloodworms and flakes. The...

I managed to switch the guppies into a temporary bowl and I kept it in my friends room (they leave their room heater on all day mine isn’t) however when cleaning I spotted multiple babies so I put them into a different bowl (same friends room) I eventually saved up some money to buy a proper...

I ended up doing a 75% water change today and the water definitely looks much clearer. Still has a bit of yellow hue but not as concentrated as it used to look. I also snipped off some parts of the plant that were dead. I’ll give an update on my fish at the end of the week or sooner depending if...

Alright thanks :) I’ll continue with updates whenever something new happens. I might have the 5g up and running by next week or hopefully this week. I’ll continue on researching better filters. I know the one I mentioned before worked well but your right about it being big I forgot that the...

Quick question should I do a 50% water change or 25%? The container btw is literally half of a Crystal Geyser jugs (just found out the brand name on my search for stuff) Edit- forgot to mention but I’m doing all of this on my phone and turns out it won’t let me send images from my camera roll...

Hey I’m back home now Here’s the update I did the pH, Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate Tests pH is a dark blue so to me it looks definitely like 7.6 or more. Ammonia is yellow still so 0 ppm Nitrite looks to be about 0.25 ppm (slightly blue purple look) Nitrate has an orange reddish color looks...

I’ll keep you updated on how testing goes. When I return home I’ll release more info on how they’re doing. I left the heated blanket on for them and it’ll automatically turn off on its own. By the way the rest of the eco column isn’t with me, I only have the aquatic layer. Another person in my...

Thanks for the deep dive information :) This has been very helpful for me and I’ll post pictures soon.

In class we used the same containers and pills this YouTube video did https://youtu.be/wEJMVR9yIts Pretty sure we didn’t test for the things you listed besides pH. I have a home test called Freshwater Master Test Kit from API. It says it tests pH, High range pH, Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate...

I would say I have beginner’s knowledge on the nitrogen cycle. Also pretty sure there isn’t anything that oxygenates the water unless it’s the one plant we got with the fish but I think that’s for soft algae to grow on and they’d eat off of it (I was sick the week they added the plant so this is...

Hello Colin thanks for the welcome :) For the water does it matter if it’s tap or bottled water? Like drinking water brand? Is that okay for them to be in? Also my house isn’t insulated :( it’s literally a layer of brick and bit of wood pieces and drywall :/ because of that I know how cold my...

Hey Aiken thanks for the quick reply :) An eco column lab is creating a small ecosystem using plastic bottles. We have 3 layers, the first at the very top is our terrestrial plant (we had Bok Choy growing) second layer is our decomposition layer which had sand and some dirt with worms and...

Hey everyone, this is my first time using this but anyway I’ll try to get straight into the context for my dilemma. I recently got 2 guppies from my Environmental Science class since my other lab mates didn’t want them. I named the fish Dante and Fernando :) Currently they’re in a small 1...
