Even 24 hours is pushing it... It takes over 4 days to truly "starve" your BB so I would dose ammonia ever other day or 48 hours. 4ppm of ammonia is too much for a single dose as well. The good bacteria actually reproduce faster in trace amounts of ammonia. try dosing 2-3 mg/L of ammonia every...

They have been in there for 6 weeks and the tank is 3 months old. She started this behavior about 3 weeks ago. she does it once a day sometimes twice a day on and off for about 20 minutes at a time but over a span of like 5 hours... she'll stop if I start feeding while shes busy swimming laps...

It's a 45 gallon tank. All 8 of the Aulonocara and 2 labs were added at the same time as juveniles. The oscar that you see at the end of the video is just there because his tank sprung a leak, but she would do this before the oscar was in there so i don't think he is making her nervous or anything.

So I have this Aulonocara you see, and she likes to swim laps around my amazon sword, and she will do it for probably 5 hours at a time. She is eating and she seems to be under control... maybe she was a race car driver in a previous life because she only knows how to turn left...shes since been...

RE: Thanks for all the replies. So I have relocated my 10 rummies into an established 15g tank and I now have 6 Kenyi cichlids about 2-2.5 inches in length along with one 8 inch BN Pleco. They really did not take long to acclimate and are very mildly territorial so far. I have added more...

RE: Thanks for the advice. I was thinking because of the size of my tank I might go with 1 or 2 african cichlids, that way territory depth is not as much of a problem. I probably wouldn't get any more than 2 with only a couple fish in the tank, they had better have a good personality. I...

Hey guys I'm new to the forum I posted an introduction earlier but my names Jonathan and here is my dilemma... To give you an idea of what I'm working with here is my setup: 45g tall tank (36"x24"x12") WavePoint T5HO 78 Watt Lighting Fluval 306 Canister Planted: Anacharis and Amazon Sword's...

I'm a new hobbyist looking for some help along the way. I do a lot of reading on this forum and I plan on hanging out here for a while. I started with a 15 gallon freshwater with goldfish which didn't work out very well but it was my 'mistank' (mistake tank) I have found that managing my 45...
