Hi all... just joined AA today. I figured it was time that I join a forum so I could have a better understanding about my fish and tank maintenance.
I purchased a fish tank last Father's Day for my husband and 2 year old son to enjoy. For the mostpart, it has been great, but it has been a challenge. I've had a few Ich outbreaks, dangerous Nitrate and Nitrite levels, fish that have come up missing, (or jumping out of the tank), you name it, I've dealt with it. So, in an effort to help my family enjoy our fish more, I'm here to learn.
My setup consists of the following:
55 gallon freshwater w/ community fish, including: (1) Pleco, (1) Red Tail Shark, (1) Clown Loach, (4) Mollies, (4) Tetras, (1) Gourami
And, up until tonight, I had (1) Bala Shark. My little gal was floating vertically when I came from work and before I could do a 25% water change and treat the water to get the Nitrates/Nitrites to a safe level, the poor thing jumped out.
Anyway, thanks in advance for everyone's help! I'm sure I will learn a lot on here and look forward to helping others.
