    Otocinclus catfish?

    Okay guys so here is My plan. I am not going to buy and algae eating fish or snails because I would need to buy another automatic fish feeder for their food because we are always leaving home for weeks at a time. So I am going to get a phosphate remover and clean my tank twice as much I hope...

    Otocinclus catfish?

    I do clean my tank very thoroughly every week and do a 20%-25% water change and I do clean my filter media. No the blue lights are not on at night and sunlight never touches the tank. However when the white lights are on the blue one are also on. So I have 3 options off, blue, or blue and white.

    Otocinclus catfish?

    Well if they are not a good idea how about mystery snails? Do they also eat brown algae? They be a better idea that the Otocinclus.

    Otocinclus catfish?

    I have a brown algae problem in my tank and someone suggested this fish. They do sell them at my local pet store but I was wondering what they would eat. I know the algae in the tank isn't enough for 's of them to survive so would any algae crisp work? Also would just one do good in a 10...

    Guppies or Mollies

    Thanks for all of your suggestions, I really like mollies but I think they would do better in a larger tank and I would like to try something new so I will probably go with guppies in this tank and hopefully I will be getting a 55 gallon in about 4 months I will put plenty of mollies in their.

    Guppies or Mollies

    Yes Mollies are dirty fish and I have a penguin bio wheel 100 which seems to be more than enough power for my tank.

    Guppies or Mollies

    I am looking to stock a 10 gallon tank with plants rocks and a log along with an airstone. But which fish should I get Mollies or guppies. I know that guppies would probably do better in this tank and they are better for smaller tanks. But could I have about 3-4 mollies in a 10 gallon? I have...

    Is ammonia the same as pH.

    My tank is cycling and I have only had one fish death so far in this hobby and that was because I used a algae killed in my tank that got one of my mollies sick. Well I am going to try to get a ammonia test kit tomorrow and see what it reads.

    Is ammonia the same as pH.

    About 11 months. I started looking through all my fish tank chemicals and food and found a bottle of safe start that I used when I started my tank. It says reduces ammonia. Should I use this in my tank?

    Is ammonia the same as pH.

    I am buying an ammonia test kit this week sometime and I am also going to get a new 5-in-1 kit to. I'll take your suggestion into consideration I just have to do my research. But can high ammonia cause aggression because some of my normally peaceful fish are becoming aggressive to the others.

    Is ammonia the same as pH.

    My test kit measures all of these: chlorine nitrite nitrate alkalinity hardness and pH. But no ammonia. And how do u know if I have high ammonia? I have some brown algae in my tank but is that from ammonia or just leaving my tank light on to long?

    Is ammonia the same as pH.

    I have a test kit that tests 5 levels in my freshwater tank. But one of them is not ammonia. But one of them is pH. I have a pH level of 7.0 but does my pH level the same as ammonia. I have never tested ammonia in my tank but do I need to get ammonia test kit or is my pH test strip testing ammonia?

    Tank stand

    I got a new 10 gallon fish tank stand from petco today!dde00 I put it all together and the final step says to put the 4 soft stick on pads on the 4 corners of the stand. But I wondered how it would be a good thing. Wouldn't it put high and low points on the tank? Should I use them or not?

    How to move a tank.

    I am probably be getting a fish tank stand this weekend for my 10 gallon. I am only moving it about 4 feet. I was thinking to empty about 7 gallons into a 2 gallon bucket and a 5 gallon bucket. Keep three gallons in the tank with the fish and move it. I would have my dad help me move it so I did...

    Aggreaive zebra danios.

    Very interesting info. Thanks for that. I almost never use my blue lights but I am going to use it more because I left them for an hour with the blue light on and I turned the bright one on thinking it would get ugly between the two fish again but it didn't. Maybe this light will cure my angry fish.
