I just bought an API test strip kit. I don't declorinate my water, I was told it was better to let it stand for 24 hours before putting it in. I have a sponge filter. The shop I went to said to use liquifry and that the strip kit was good. ammonia 0 gh 180! kh 180! ph 7 NO2 0 NO3 20 all...

yeah I just bought an API test strip kit. not so good you say??? I don't declorinate my water because I was told it was better to let it stand for 24 hours before putting it in. I have a sponge filter. The shop I went to said to use liquifry and that the strip kit was good. joy. ammonia 0...

Hi sorry - new to all this. next problem - I am feeding my week and a half old fry with 'liquifry' baby food, but some of them have started swimming at an angle - I know in older fish this can suggest constipation. I am a bit concerned because one of the fry was dead this morning ( i now have...

Hi sorry about the delay in getting back to you - had to go out and buy a testing kit - told you I was new to this. Everything was ok, apart from the two hardness registers - and they were really high - pretty much max at 180 each on the scale that I had. Ammonia, ph, nitrite/rate were all...

yes are the others gonna be ok though?

:| little guy died in the night (sob!) also lost one of the fry last night too. I don't know if it's me - or seeing them by daylight (saturday so not at work) but the fry look a bit paler. All other fish (female guppy [bit of a bully!] and 5 tetras) seem fine... anyone still there to help...

don't think so... no he's alive - it's just that when I went down and turned the lights back on to check the meds, I saw that suddenly he's sticking to the bottom rather than the top of the tank - (where he's hung out for a few days now!) He's still staying pretty still though. He can swim -...

Hi - sorry what's Pimafix? Will any pet shop have it? Does it have another name? (- in case they do't have it) I also only have one tank (a hexagonal one) - with the floating nursery tank thing at the top - where should I put him? interestingly, I just went to see what the fin-rot med was - in...

Thanks so much for your reply - I just don't know what to do, or even how serious it is... I've become quite attached to the little guy!!! Do you really think the neons might be biting him? The black neons seem to keep themslelves to themslelves... that said, one of blue ones does seem to snap...

Help! I'm new to all this and I think my Guppy's sick! 2-3 weeks ago I bought 3 guppies, (2f, 1m) and added them to a tank where I had 5 little tetras (3neon, 2 black). 2 days later, I found (and saved) 18 fry - buying a birthing tank thingie to keep them in. a few days later, the one I...

Hi - I'm very new to the whole tropical fish thing :shifty: - but I am a bit concerned. I bought 3 guppies (1m, 2f) about 2-3 weeks ago. Two days later I found 18 fry in my tank and saved them, but the one I suspected was the mother (she had reduced in size dramatically) died a couple of days...
