I read lots of good stuff on this site the cycle procedure makes sense as I did it for my big tank. I'm trying to avoid it or minimize as little as possible so she doesn't stress and self abort the babies or cause her to die. I'm so stuck on the right thing.

Hello, could anyone please help me. I have a 10g with N Aqueon 10 filter, faked hanging plants and some gravel from my cycled 55g. I also set it up with 5g of cycled water and 5g tap water. She is in it and I'm waiting for fry. I need to get that ammonia down. Today's test, ammonia .25, nitrite...

I have her in the 55g sectioned off with divider about quarter of the tank.. I also bought a 10g and set up with half their water and other half treated. I have no gravel or plants in the 10g. Should I move her into the 10g or let her birth where she is? I have a lot of hiding plants in her area...

That pic doesn't show how big she is. She dosent like the camera.

Pregnant platy I would guess 4 wks. I didn't even think of pregnancy until This last time she was swollen. About 2 wks ago I thought I over fed but then I guess I didn't pay that close Attention until a few days ago. I hope I uploaded pics correctly

I will take pics in the morning I want her to remain calm. She was just placed in the divided side this eve. She was scared, poor baby!

Hello, My platy is preg how will I know when she will birth? She is extremely fat. I went out and got a divider for my 55g. She is on 25% of the end. Doesn't seem to be stressed. I feel bad for her, she is lonely. The male was doing nothing but chasing her. I was afraid he would stress her to...

No nothing sticking out. I have not seen their poop. What should I be looking for and I will try and see it. Today the 3 of them seem happy they ate, I'm still Leary because this is how the other two went fine until a straight drop. I did a 75% change. All levels are good. You think this will...

WOW that's great they have lots of company. How big? What kind? How many?

Wow that Angel is beautiful !!!!!

Oh I was told tetra, thank you for clarifying that. They came with the tank. I've been doing fine until this?

This is them I have 3 left. They eat and swim?

I have 19 left.

It's my first serious tank. 55g community.

They are striped tetra. They become humped back then bam in a day or two gone? I don't think the other community fish are effected. Thanks for everyone's help. I know these message boards are a great thing. I use them for my birds as well.

Humpback Jon, Amm-0 Nitrite-0 Nitrate-5 PH- 7.0 Temp 74-76 I do use an API test kit. I have 3 tetras left. They were just fine one min then I notice in eve hump back. Only in them?

Tetra disease????? I came home to find #2 passed?Anybody got any ideas? I was thinking about changing the pea rock for gravel or will it mess up my water to much? I wanted a different color anyway

WHen I got this tank I was so worried about getting the water right. Now with all that behind me, I had 5 tetras. One got humpback and severe trouble with balance. It died. That was 3 wks ago. Now another tetra is the same way. I read something about tetra disease? How long do tetras live? All...

I did the 50% change, vacumed the gravel some and rinsed the filter pads in the fish water. I cleaned the filter and it works great. Best of all the test results are great. Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 20 ph 7.6 I couldn't believe it. Thank you so much. I did get the siphon pump.

Ok I will try this. Hopefully without swallowing fish water?

Should I do a 50% change or all. When will I vacuum the tank. Should I just concentrate on the filter?

Was doing a fish in cycle because I was given a 55g by a coworker fish and all. Through the help of all you wonderful people I got the numbers right on the money for at least two wks now.. I think my filter needs attention it's running slower on one side. So should I put new cartridge in it...

Still same levels as yesterday this is great I'm trying to get pics. There not very photogenic I will get better pic. Can any one tell from these?
