Hi all, I got a new Pearl gourami about 5 weeks ago. He spent two weeks in QT and then moved over to my display tank. When he first came home he always his against the fact rock structure I had but by the end of the two weeks he would swim over to me when I would sit by the tank. He is now in...

Hi All, two nights ago I was doing a water change and one of my cories swam into the vacuum. I freaked out and shook it, causing him to fall out and hit the gravel. Yesterday he seemed fine but today is laying down on the gravel on his side. I can't be sure if it's the same one, but my gut is...

Hi There, I have my main display tank going and everyone seems happy and healthy! I've already had ich once and I've only been in the hobby for like three months. To avoid that (or any other disease) from demolishing my tank (Again) hopefully, I want to set up a QT tank. I was able to secure a...

Hi all, Just looking for further advice, commiseration, and tips for the future. I had picked up ten cardinal tetras from a LFS a few weeks ago. Three were killed by a filter, so I removed that one, but still have an AC 30 running in the tank. I believe that they have developed Ich after the...

Hi all, I'm getting nitrites during my fish less cycle and am starting to thing about what I what I want to stock. I am currently running the filter that came in the tank kit (top fin brand assume appropriately sized for the 25g tank) and will be adding an aqua clear 30 tonight. The plan is to...

Hi all, I am presently attempting to do a fishless cycle in my 25 gallon tank. I am using the filter that came with the kit that I bough and was just hoping that it would be sufficient (Even after doing some reading). Now I am reconsidering that choice, but I am already a month into this and...

Hi all, I apologize if this has been posted before, I tried to find something similar by searching but couldn't find anything super similar. I think this might be because to me there are several weird things going on, but they could be totally normal? I started a fishless cycle in my 25 gallon...
