I would just like to say thankyou to all. My tank is almost done cycling. It has been a succesful first tank so far because of all the post I've read and all the replies that I've received. Today the Amonia was at 0 and NitrTRItes were at .8 and NitrTRAtes were at 10. So thanks again.

I recently read an article that said not to ad salt to a tank with catfish. Well my tank is still cycling but eventually I want to get a Bristlenose but I am wondering if I can. I added salt to the tank when I originally set it up. That was over a month ago. Will it be ok to introduce a...

Just tested the water. NitrAtes went up to 20 so I will do another water change Nitrites are at 0.3 Amonia is 0.4 I am hoping that since amonia is going down that the cycle is almost done YEAH! MORE FISH!!! Alot more brown algea has appeared though, hoping it will go away

LOL. Well i guess they could have decayed :) . I will check behind the tank but I always have it covered so I doubt it. They have been missing for a few weeks now. A friend of mine came over not too long ago and he looked for them. He couldn't find them either. I don't know maybe he ate...

Thanks for the advice. I did the water change and alittle area of vacuuming. I added the dechlorinater. I will test the water tomorrow to let it stabilize and post the results. As for the fish I moved gravel,plants,rocks, and plants. I opened the filter up and there are still no fish to be...

Sorry I gave the wrong adivice Panda. Thanks for te corrections Cheese.

From what I have read in this forum you should only use medicine on fish if you know exactly what they have since you knew swordtail had ick it was ok but i am thinking maybe he should've been put in another tank to get treated. As for the cause of death for the panda sorry I could't tell you...

As for test kits you can order them online from pet stores and probably get a better price for them than in the stores.

Hi all. I have only set up my tank a few days ago. I am curious how long does it take for the ammonia levels to rise and also what type of fish to get after the cycle. I know I have about a month and a half to go but I just can't stop thinking about what to get next. Would bottom feeders be...

Welcome to the forum. I am new too. Just got my first fish yesterday. Good luck with your tank.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Patrick333 I know it looks kinda plane without a backing. I am going to get Black paper to put as back so it brings out the colors of the fish and scenery. And Bikegirl I will try my best to get a pic for you of mine. My digital camera isn't the best but...
