My male is swimming all around the tank like a wild man. My female has been hiding for the past 5 - 6 days, and finally came out of hiding to chill on leaves as per usual. I was worried about water conditions, but my water looks great. A little google and it sounds like it's a mating ritual...

I have a question about our cycle... Since ammonia keeps dropping pretty much overnight, but nitrites are taking longer, can I stop dosing ammonia? I feel like I'm prolonging my cycle because I keep making nitrites and the nitrates are trying to keep up. Nitrates are totally rising, so they're...

I have little white see through bugs in my tank and tiny white worms on the glass. What the heck, guys??? What do I do and what is it?

The Finnex FugeRay Planted+ Aquarium LED Light Plus Moonlights, Cliplight by Finnex Amazon.com : Finnex FugeRay Planted+ Aquarium LED Light Plus Moonlights, Cliplight : Pet Supplies I have a low-tech tank. It's probably 8 - 10" deep. I don't want to deal with CO2 so I don't want too much...

Our tank is literally within days of completing the fishless cycle and as we add more and more low-tech plants, I'm feeling super guilty that I don't have a richer substrate for the plants to thrive in. I'm leaning towards ecoComplete A couple of questions - is this a stupid move considering...

Well...I just realized that I cycled my 5.5g tank with a filter meant to handle 3 gallons. That's fine and all for my cycle, but once I add fish and a clean up crew, it's going to be tight. *sigh* Needless to say we're upgrading our filter to an Aquaclear 20 so that bioload will not be a...

It was 3.5ppm ammonia, 5.0 nitrite, 40 nitrate yesterday...0.5 ammonia, 5.0 nitrite, 80 nitrate today. Should I do something about the high nitrite? Sent from my SM-G900T using Aquarium Advice mobile app

We're back... We restarted our cycle a few days ago and ordered some seeded filter material from Angel Plus. It came in yesterday, so last night I poured that water all in my (5.5g) tank, all in the filter, cut some of the filter sponge and put it in the filter, and then took the remaining, put...

We have a 5.5 gallon tank that we are fishless cycling. We have 3 small plants. The Java Fern is growing :) We bought ammonia from the dollar store and the only ingredient is ammonia hydroxide. When we tested the tank this morning, these were the levels: ammonia 4.0 nitrite 0 pH 8.2 I...

I just set up a 5.5g in my 2.5yo bedroom. It is on a low, study shelf in his room (see my avatar). This forum suggests a couple different "related" threads to me where parents are concerned about toddlers and their tanks. I just wanted to pass along a product that gives me peace. It's...

Hi everyone! Brandy (mom) and Loxley (son, 2yo) here! We are new to the site and joined because we've decided to follow this site's guide to cycle our tank. We have a 5.5 gallon, heated and filtered tank that is being recycled from a failed adventure with a Betta 2 years ago. We're really...
