10 Gal tank. 8 fish (2 mollies, pleco, 5 tetras). Paramaters good after 50% water change on Monday May 8th. (vaccuum gravel also at that time) Fish is a Dalmation Molly we've had for 1 year. She's had 2 broods with us. Only one wasn't eaten. Symptoms: She began getting larger (fatter) over...

It appears that my 7 year old over-fed the fish while I was away on business. My Nitrite levels are off the charts! I've done a 50% water change and the levels are down but still way too high (i.e.2.8 Nitrite and 37 Nitrate) Lost a small fry that was 6 months old and have seven 2 week old...

how often do I vaccuum gravel? My tap water is very hard also. I took a chance and introduced some new fish and extra plants. 3 diamond fancy tetras. 3 balloon mollies ( 1male, 2 female) I know it was alot at one time but they seem to be doing okay. I just missed seeing thing swimming...

Water change worked Still using test strips but the water change worked. Nitrate=30 Nitrite = 0.0 Hardness= 300 (how do I change this?) Alkalinity= 80 pH = 7.0 Still very hard water. Will this hurt if I add new fish? I was thinking of getting another male Sailfin Dalmation Molly to mate...

How do you affect changes to the tank parameters? Bought test strips. Here are the parameters: Nitrate=80 Nitrite = 0.3 Hardness= 300 (how do I change this?) Alkalinity= 0 pH = 6.5 I just added my 2tsp. of TetraAqua Easy Balance to lower the Nitrate. Here are my questions: How do I...

What does cycled mean? I'm a newbie, don't know what that means. The tank has been set up for about 2 years now. I do a 20% water change every 2 weeks. I ran out of test strips so don't know the parameters but there haven't been any major changes lately.

The tetras are black skirt tetras, the pleco is ?? a big one?? He's about 4 inches long beige with black spots.

10 gal. , 2 tetras, 2 dalmation mollies (now 1), 1 small fry mollie, 1 placo, snails.

Okay. My dalmation molly has been preg two times. Each time she gets close to birthing, I put her in a floating birthing chamber in the same tank. Each time now she has gone in looking huge then in the morning the bottom of the tank is filled with reddish 'poop' (aborted babies I think) and...

Where do I get these antibiotics for my tank? Thanks for the input. I'm going to try to pick up the test stuff Sat. (after payday!) The I'll post the numbers.

I don't see my reply post to you about other symptoms. Yes, there are few that I guess my inexperienced eye didn't catch. The tetras seems to be hinding in the back/bottom area of the aquarium, they are breathing rather hard considering they aren't swimming around much, and they used to be the...

Did a 70% water change Tuesday. The Mollies didn't like it much but seem fine today. Euthanized the largest fish, it was starting to be attacked by the smaller healthier fish and was beginning to act funny. Symptoms: hiding in back of aquarium, listless, lack of eating - used to be the...

My pics are under the View My Gallery to the left of my first post.

My mollies are fine. My fry molly is fine. My placo is fine and so is my tiny catfish. Spoke with someone by phone and they said maybe overfeeding and overcrowding. So, here's my question? How many fish in a 10 gallon tank? How much food for 4 tetra, 2 mollies, (I assume the cat and...

Did you see my posted photos? Does it look like Tetra disease to you? :cry:

I'm like most of the public, no education on fish but wanted a tank. I've done research since and think my tank isn't too bad off considering my ignorance. I need to buy testing supplies for amonia, nitrate, nitrite, etc though since I have none. If you could tell me what disease this might...
