I have been doing a fishless cycle since Jan. 11. It seems like it has stalled or something strange is happening with it. Ammonia has been at 4ppm since day one and is still the same. Nitrite has stalled at 1ppm since Feb. 4. I checked nitrates today and they are 10ppm. My main concern...

I went to my LFS yesterday and they had what they were calling "Pink Danios." Has anyone ever seen these fish? They are a bright pink and look like a zebra danio. I'm wondering if they are Glofish. Thing is, I live in Canada where Glofish can't be imported. Is there such a thing as a "Pink...

I am currently in the middle of my fishless cycle and think i need a different heater. I have a tetra submersable auto temperature which I thought sounded like a great idea at the time. Problem is that it keeps the temp around 73. I read another post saying that Visitherm was good. What...

OOPS! Sorry for the double post. I picked up a 3 pack of starter chemicals and one is called "Nutrafin Cycle" that apparently creates benaficial bacteria in 3 days rather than waiting for the tank to cycle for weeks. Meaning you can add fish after only 3 days. NUTRAFIN Has anybody used...

I am just starting up a 20G community tank. I want to get either a Bristlenose Pleco or a Cory Catfish? What is your prefrence? Also, do cory cats eat algae or are they strictly scavengers?

I am fairly new to having an aquarium. I had fish growing up but this will be my first tank in about 10 years. I am getting a 20g tank and am trying to decide what to stock it with. Here is what I am thinking: 1 Bristlenose pleco 1 Blue ram possibly one angelfish 3-5 tiger barbs or neon...
