Can a blue ram be ok in pH 7.5 and gh 4, Kh 71

Scarlet badis, I thought I had a male and female and bought them as a pair but a post from January led me to think it was two males. Now they have matured some more and I want to see what you think. The larger one is significantly paler but still has the blue on the fins. They are always...

So one of my guppy/endler hybrids is acting strange. He was swimming very slow and hanging out on the gravel. He is now swimming at top but still slow and kinda hanging his tail lower, so not horizontal. His gills look a little flared and he I really red around the mouth. Water params are all 0...

so I had added 5 red cherries to the tank and I know 3 died, I saw bodies. at least one died after molting and I think the second did as well. so I decided to try again. I added 2 red cherry and 2 fire. they started to go missing and I figured they too had died. only had 2 cherry and 1 fire left...

This can't be normal

In my 9 gallon I have 4 endlers hybrids. One looks like a guppy while 3 actually look like endlers. The guppy looking one is constantly being chased by the others. No females, all males. The endler looking ones display and dance for each other but they def. focus negatively on the guppy one...

My planted 9 gallon eheim aquastyle has 2 scarlet badis, 4 endlers and 10 shrimp now. I had wanted celestial pearl danios but the LFS hasn't had them so I stocked without. Went to buy more shrimp today and they have the CPDs. :( I'm too stocked now to add them. The above stock is good though right?

Is this a female? In waiting for another shrimp to move so I can get pic of that one too.

woke up this morning to a saddled Orange bee female shrimp lying on her back. I thought she was dead so I went to scoop her out. as soon as I touched her she started flailing her legs. I set her up right on the moss ball but she is just sitting there :( Do shrimp lay on their back to shed like...

Here is my shrimp, endler, scarlet badis tank. I have it in my kitchen and I looove it. I can't wait for my plants to fill in. I started a moss wall for the back and have micro sword for the front. Then I have crypt undulata, mossimo moss ball and wisteria. The driftwood has lots of little holes...

For feeding my scarlet badis I bought frozen daphnia. The one came out and eagerly grabbed one and then promptly spit it out. So I bought live black worms. I've tried several times to feed them the worms but the fish are still shy and hide as soon as I reach for the lid. So when I dump the...

I put these dwarf amazon swords in my tank yesterday. Today they look like they have mold on several of the leaves. It's a white fuzz like you sometimes see on bread. What is it? Do I have to yank the plants? Everything I read about mold in aquariums said black mold.

So for some reason I thought when doing my shrimp reading that bee shrimp were ok in harder water. So I bought 4 orange bee shrimp at my LFD today along with a few fish. Now while reading about breeding/sexing I'm seein they don't like hard water. Is that true? My pH is also 7.6.

Not the best pics I know, but did I manage a pair of scarlet badis? I hope the male gets more color.

9 gallon eheim for plants, few shrimp, few fish. Plants are most important. Is flourite with fluval stratum on top good choice?? I wanted Eco complete but can't get it unless I order it online (which I'll do if that's better)

So I have an Eheim Aquastyle 9gal to be set up on Wed. The plan is to plant it nicely and add 5 endlers, maybe a few snails. Only problem is my LFS never gets endlers. Today I saw them at Petsmart. I'm not thrilled with petsmart, but at least I wouldn't have to order the endlers. I will be...

I have room in the kitchen to add a tank that will be planted low-medium light plants. Couple fish, snails and shrimp. I'm debating the tank Fluval edge 12 Fluval nano flora form plants Aqueon 16 bow front (but this might actually be too big) Opinions please??

The moneywort was doing poor so I put a searches root tab in and added excell yesterday and literally overnight it went from not so good to completely dead.

So I'm not sure if my Raphael spotted cat is getting enough to eat. The loaches are pretty good at cleaning up the tank and he comes out very very late at night. I was considering getting him ghost shrimp but if he doesn't eat them do they add a lot of bio load?

My platy just had this long white and clear stringy poop comin out. What is this?

After reading some other threads I am thinking I should have used organic miracle grow on the bottom of my tank and then capped it with the gravel. Will it completely screw up my tank and fish if I emptied the tank water into buckets, scooped out the gravel and laid the dirt?

My tank keeps reading at 0.25 ammonia. I have been doing water changes, 30% everyday. Two days ago I did a 50%. I did not do any PWC yesterday to see if the ammonia would go up but it still says 0.25. The booklet says the color chart for ammonia is appropriate for freshwater aquarium I which...

Is there a website or place to check the average cost to run an aquarium of X size for a year?

Just installed my new eheim 2215. Do I have to keep running the whisper 40i or should there be enough bacteria in the tank already to help establish a colony in the Eheim? If I must run both, how long?

Wanted to compare your input with aqadvisor. I actually have a 44gal pentagon but only 35gal is water, (top part belongs to the toads and newts). I don't have the rasboras yet, waiting for LFS to get them in. The raph cat is small right now, only 2" and will be moving up to bigger tank next...
