Im not too worried about the ammonia. I was having a hard time reading the color vs the chart because it was slightly darker but not near enough to be the .25. It could be .05 or 0 even and i just couldnt tell. Ive done a water change since then and changed out the old folter cartridge, both of...

Maybe 2 - 3 inches. I rarely see, him out from under a spefic log in the aquarium. Ive had him at least 3 years Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I didnt know the scales could flake. Unfortunatly, i have no way to get a bigger tank or remove fish so i suppose ill just have to not replace them when they eventually die off. The closest fish store to me is over an hour away and i dont think they will take the angel now with the issues and i...

Regardless of the intensity, i was not in the mood to be shocked that day and did not put my hand in the water. I just saw it turn on and the fish act up, cut off and them settle down so i assumed it was the cause and have since cut it off. I do not know if it was or not for fact. Sent from my...

No i did not. I have unplugged the heater since though. I thought about it at the time, but was unsure about putting my hand in the tank if it was by chance charged Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

UPDATE: Did a water test, the parameters are as follows pH: 7.6 Ammonia: .15 ppm Nitrite: 0 ppm Nitrate:40 ppm While the pH is high for angelfish, it is stable given our tap water quality but I will try to bring it down a bit because I know angels like a lower pH and more acidic conditions. As...

Definatly not the cherry barbs. They are very peaceful and do not bother the angels at all, even at feeding time. Cherry barbs are not as aggressive as other barbs are, they are mild comparatively. As far as over stocking goes, i do know i am over. I used aq advisor and it told me i was slightly...

Hello, I am back to discuss angelfish again. My angel (whom i have assumed is female), has several raw redish scales along the top of her back. I was wondering what could be the cause of this. She is not scratching against objects, but from what i have researched, she has been trying to "pair...

No and no, everythings normal. Ill watch closer to be sure, but i havent noticed anything Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Yep, still normal activites. None of the other fish show any signs of anything so im thinking this one just has a tumor, shes always looked a bit malformed in the back. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hello, i purchased five cherry barbs about 3-4 months ago for my 30 gallon tank. One of them has always appeared "rounder" than the others i guess you could say, but here recently i noticed she seemed noticibly larger on one side in particular. The lump also has a small gray dot towards the...

Haha, yep, ive got a tank of all females. Mine look exactly like the girls Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hmmm, thats something to consider. I feed flakes every night and frozen brine shrimp about once a week or once every two weeks. Are the Nls flakes different somehow? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

The substrate is the creamish white sand. I never thought about possibly having all female barbs... ive always seen then at petstores bright red, but mine have always been the same color. I have never seen them trying to spawn or anytging either... should i perhaps try to buy one that is bright...

Hello, i know cherry barbs are supposed to turn bright red when they are looking for a mate, but mine have yet to do so and i was wondering what could be the cause of that. I have two angelfish that have been lip-locking for quite some time (they appear to be fighting often but i believe they...

Thank you! I am having a very hard time determining the gender but in guessing I have a pair. I knew the small one was male but I couldn't tell the other. Ill have to seriously think about what I'm going to do then. I really don't want to get rid of them because I would feel like an in...

That actually helps a lot. I think they look closer to the mating behavior because they stay close together typically, although one sometimes trys to flee. I honestly never wanted a breeding pair, I was trying to get 2 males but of course at the size I got it was nearly impossible to be sure. I...

I got a video!

Got it, next time I see them doing it I'll record and post. I don't know if they are the same gender or not, I know it's hard to tell with angels but that may say something. Here are some pics of them Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hello, I am having some problems with two of my angelfish "lip locking" and chasing each other around the tank. I cannot determine if they are fighting, or expressing a mating ritual. They are a little smaller than my palm in size, and I have had them both since they where the size of a...

I've tried that and still had no luck. I never had the problem until I starter using sand. I may see if I can find another type of sand and see if that works better, but until then any other suggestions? I was also wondering if overcrowding the tank a bit would help with the angels aggression...

I'm sorry, miscommunication, I meant that I was trying to change from the sand substrate to a rock or smooth glass pebble substrate. I am looking for one that will not damage the cories with rough edges, ect. I know they prefer sand, that was my initial reason for using it. I am just having a...
