The tank is fairly new but cycled. Ammonia - 0 NO3 - 10 and NO2 - 0. ph 7.8 temp 78 I have 2 danios and 2 panda corys. The were fine for about 2.5 - 3 months then suddenly I saw the smaller cory swim to the top and float back down on his back. It scared me so much, but he wasn't dead. I had...

Having the same kind of problem with a panda cory. Although today his tail is gone and he seems to be swimming more?!?! Oh and he goes upside down and doesn't move :/ he's lasting so long though that I feel bad about it. No physical signs of illness apart from the swimming?

I'm not sure if the link will work but is this okay for panda cory's? Swell Limpopo Black Sand | Swell UK Thanks :)

Sorry. I'm just fed up of going on threads about something and all people do is moan about what fish one has in a tank. Not even helping with what was asked.

I know all this and it has nothing to do with my question. People need to stop jumping on about what can and can't go in a certain tank and try and help out with the problem in hand. Plus it was cycled. The cory's are a lot happier in this tank than where I bought them from. I do a big weekly...

The shop lady told me to get a zebra danio to cycle my 6g tank, so I did. The next fish I got was a leopard danio so my first one didnt feel so scared to come out. They were okay for a day or so then the bullying and chasing started, the new danio chases my old one all the time. No nipping by...

Actually mollies and platys are both fairly messy.

I have had my little tank for 2 months now so I'm still a newbie. I don't know for sure but I know mollies are messy fish and along with all the other fish maybe you're just overstocked for a newish tank. Did you notice any bullying when you put the new fish in?

Because I want some small cory cats and I think the gravel right now is too big and rough for their barbels.

Or how long usually until ammonia disappears?

Okay, I'll clean the filter media next time I do a water change. Ill also change the gravel sooner rather than later, I think it will be best. Also I just did a test and it is also now showing about 1mg/l of nitrite and a very small amount of nitrate. I have test strips for these and liquid for...

Hello, I have a 6 gallon tank that I am cycling with a danio. Yeah I know now its better fish less but I didn't know at the time. Anyway my ammonia has just started to drop after just over 3 weeks which I'm hoping is the cycle getting on its way. My question is how can I change the gravel...

Its an Aquael Pearl 6 gallon, and the filter is an Aquael fan-mini plus 4.2w It seems to oxygenate the water well.

Is it possible for the current in a tank to be too high for the fish? I know for fish like bettas they dont like current but at the moment I'm cycling with a zebra Danio. I know they like strong currents anyway and playing near the pump flow but he seems to hide a lot. Mostly where the current...

Yay, that would be a lovely outcome. I hope the store will take poor old danio. Would the small cory be okay in my size tank?

I know bettas can be aggressive but tetra are quite fast compared. That's my thinking anyway :S

As its a 6g which it's plenty big enough for 1 betta could I have something else like 4 neon tetra? Or some small bottom dweller of any sort?

Oh my goodness no I don't mean the toilet! Haha. IF the shop will take him back I may do that, or find someone with a suitable aquarium that will take him. I want to try fish first but if it doesn't work I wouldn't mind shrimp. How about a single awesome betta fish. It's what I originally wanted...

Is this okay? Okay, I am prepared to keep up with water changes. So, if I had good filtration and oxygenation and multi levelled my tank by putting maybe guppies and cory catfish in? 2 of each? Would that work? Would I have to rehome the zebra danio then as-well, or would he get along with...

Confused. Okay thank you for your reply. It is actually a 6g but okay they need a 20g. What would you suggest in this tank for future reference? The trouble is i'm getting different advice from everywhere. I was specific with my tank at the store and I knew danios were hardy fish used to cycle...

Hiya, I set up my 6 Gallon aquarium with t5 light, internal filter and pump, thermometer and artificial plants, arch and gravel. After a few days I bought 1 Zebra Danio which seemed in good health, and one apparently easy to grow live plant. The first day I introduced the Danio aka "Spike" to...
