I feel like Daria from "Finding Nemo"   Since I last checked in, all but one guppy, the loach and three shrimp have died.  The death tally stands at 7 guppies and two shrimp.   I keep testing the water and everything is coming up zero.  Now that I already have fish, I guess I have to continue...

I just checked the water using the API Master Test Kit and for Ammonia it was yellow, 0 ppm.  Currently I have four guppies, four ghost shrimp, a snail and a loach of some kind.  The latter two were attached to the driftwood I purchased the other day, I didnt know either was there.  Everything...

The shop didn't tell me the parameters but I have a liquid test at home. The last couple of times, my ammonia was zero, nitrite was zero and nitrate was very low, like 10ppm. I can check again tonight to see the latest reading. Rippey

It looks like I figured out what killed my fish........   SUFFOCATION......   I took my water to the Petco where they tested it and said everything tested ok.  I then purchased 5 Ghost shrimp and another two guppies.  I got another plant as well.   Acclimated the fish and just to make sure, I...

Cycled the tank for a little more than two weeks. I made sure that the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and ph were all ok before I added fish. I waited a few days and checked water (added ammonia, checked consumption, etc). Water seems aok Guppies are all male (fancy guppies). Catfish I don't...

Hey all, I finished my cycling of my 12 gallon Edge and started small with three guppies. There are two plants and a moss ball in there too. About a week later I added two more guppies and a catfish (from another place) About a week into having all six fish, one of my original guppies died...

I'd have to say however, the one that I used, the dosage is very watered down. I have to add 2-3x as much as is requested to get to 2ppm. I don't know about the One and Only version however. Rippey

I have DrTim's Aquatics Ammonium chloride for Aquarium. I use this to get to 2 ppm and that gets to zero in 24 hours. The nitrite last night was the first time it was low. When I checked on Saturday it was 5ppm. I was surprised at the nitrate being zero though. It was high before as I said...

So I've been cycling my Fluval edge 12 gallon for about 10 days. For the last I'd say 2-3 days, I get the ammonia ppm (using MrTim's) up to about 2ppm. When I do that the nitrites are high, well over 5ppm and nitrate was somewhere around 60ppm. 24 hours later, I noticed that my ammonia was...

Still available?

Would be okay to have just one Molly / platie as the signature fish in my tank and have say 6-7 guppies (males) and a couple of shrimp to clean up? I know I do not have a lot of room but I would like to have some color and have a fish that stands out. Not sure if either of these are schooling...

Hello all!!! First of hopefully many posts. I am new to fish and just in the process of doing a fishless cycle. As I am looking for fish to stock, I know my choices are limited (both in the types and number of fish). I have been reading a lot and getting many different answers so I rather...
