I originally added four, then waited a few weeks and added four more. Lost one about a week after the last addition but everything looked good with the water tests, so I chalked it up to poor stick from my lfs. How do you guys increase the size of your shoal? Do you add then all at once or...

A quick video if some of my green corys.

Do you have a liquid test kit to test for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate?

I have used silicone to glue it together.

Was the tank ever cycled?

I have a 90. I run the fluval 406, a hob aqueon filter and two whisper 10-30i internal filters. I am not familiar enough with your stock to comment on it though. I have 10 African Cichilids and a large Featherfin catfish in mine.

I have a fluval 406 and absolutely love it. Super quiet and you can customize the media baskets to suit your needs.

I would chalk it up to poor quality fish. If your water tests are correct I would say try a different species of fish and give it another shot. I used that same filter for years on a tank overstocked with platies with no troubles and I still use that filter on my 10 gallon betta tank. Don't get...

Great suggestion

Awesome. How many corys did you have and how long till they began to breed?

Very nice.

Was at a lfs last night and a couple was looking at the various fish. They called an associate over and said they wanted three angels to take home. The store employee asked them what else was in the tank. They explained that it was an empty one gallon tank. The store employee explained that the...

Thanks Fresh. I never would've thought of that.

What about the need for biological media. Will the bb exist in the substrate in big enough numbers? If that is the case will a thorough gravel vacuuming take out the bb and cause a mini cycle?

I recently was given a whisper 60 HOB filter. Unfortunately there was no filter media included. I know from having other tetra filters that you can easily replace the poly bag that stores the carbon inside along with the frame that holds it in place, but what is the best way to replicate the...

A 20-25% pwc weekly should be fine. Don't be surprised if very shortly you are browsing Craigslist classifieds looking for your next tank. Lol. This hobby can be very addictive.

Is your tank cycled? Do you have a liquid test kit? The most common mistake with new tanks is someone setting it up and just throwing fish in the water.

If you are using a python or other water changer that attaches to your faucet, you need to dose enough dechlorinator for the entire volume of your tank. If you are simply vacuuming out a portion of your water by using a bucket, you only need to treat the water that you have in the bucket. Just...
