    The spring water from our grocery store apparently has high pH too, because when we tried WCing with it, it was still high.

    Hi! I have a 20-long with six fish each about an inch long - platy, swordtail, danio (lost the other five to fish TB), two angelfish, and a female guppy. The pH has been high, like 7.8, and the alkalinity is off the test strip scale. Our water softener is terrible, it has zero hardness and...

    Tuberculosis?

    Okay. I didn't know double posting was allowed. Cool. I was going to euthanize it, but it died shortly after the video was taken.

    Tuberculosis?

    How can I "safely" pet my fish?

    Okay, thanks. Whirlaway and Somethingroyal come right up and bump rub against my fingers in the tank, and I worried they were stripping their slime coat. Thanks!

    How can I "safely" pet my fish?

    Plants that are common enough and will like horribly soft water?

    Water softener was my parent's choice. 6 platies died from the change, and the remaining one isn't perfectly finned now either. Should i just go for hard water from outside (gradually, of course!). Now this is bad for angelfish, isn't it? They're spawning, but will they stop if they are in hard...

    Plants that are common enough and will like horribly soft water?

    I use my Tetra test strips 60 second kind, and double-check with the petstore's kind. I only have 20 watts. No fertilizer. No Co2 and the bio-wheel does such a strong current it probably drives out any co2 anyhoo. Soft means like 3 or below. The petstore kinda looked at me and went, "dH is...

    What babies might I get with a red cambodian female betta and a red male?

    LOL, okay. I might breed the just to laugh at what i get. I know usually offspring are like one of the parents, not a combo, like my dog, right?

    What babies might I get with a red cambodian female betta and a red male?

    I didn't choose them! I would've had a pair of blues, but my Mom's red betta was getting bored so i bought the best female- red cambodian- to look at, and now they're interested.
