Thanks, I'm gonna find some mature media. I have tested the tap. No ammonia before or after dechlorination. I have a carbon filter. It's for a top fin filter. The tank is densely planted with 7 batches of anacharis. I guess I better just wait it out and continue with my water changes.

Omg I have been moving water like dealers move crack. I'm sorry if that was a bad analogy, but something has got to give. I'm doing a fish in cycle. 20 gal. Live plants. 4 danios and a couple of pearl gouramis. I change the water twice a day. Morning and night. I'd say it's about a 50 % change...

I'm doing a fish in cycle and all my plants are dying(turning brown)??? I've been fertilizing. Is it because of ammonia. I thought they used ammonia?? Help anyone.

Are plants good or bad to have during a fish -in cycle 20 gal tank? If yes, suggestions?

Will vacuuming a tank remove beneficial bacteria? What will it do to the plants? Anything else I should know before vacuuming my tank?

Im pretty set on gravel. I cycled the tank and it's ready to roll. Which bottom dweller do you like on gravel? I love the panda corys.

Which Bottomdwellers are best for a gravel substrate. I mean I know corys like sand but can't they thrive on gravel also??

See if reduced feeding helps. Continue with frequent water changes.

Snails + problem = Epalzeorhynchus bicolor aka red tailed black "shark" Eats them snails

20 gal. I know for sure it's a male it has an orange throat and belly with a pointy dorsal. The two females have very little orange and rounded dorsals.

Is a male pearl going to be aggressive to 2 female pearls a female blue Guorami

It's not a fish substrate. It's from world market. It's made by club earth.. Its just some glowing rocks made in china??

Are glow in the dark moonstones an acceptable substrate?

Thank you for all the replies. I'm gonna take the paradise and shark and give them a new home.

Hello, 6 danios, 6 panda cats, 2 pearl gouramis, 1 marble angel, 1 black red tail shark, and 1 blue paradise in 20 gallon tank. To much?

Are blue paradise compatible with dwarf cichlids?

Man, your dwarfs are beautiful. I need to get some of those. That's probably what I'm gonna go with. Did you find those at a LFS or did you order online?

Ok I see. Well once I return the fish I can cycle it. I got a filter from another tank so it may be better. Once I've cycled, do you like the dwarf cichlid tank. Pair or herem? I was thinking a couple of females and a male.

My tank cycled for a week. Then I've had these fish for two weeks now. The pet store offered to take them back for store credit.

Anyone out there what to help me get set up with some dwarf cichlids? Again 20 gal, veggies, and caves. Now the fish! Two or three cichlids? One male and two females or just a pair?

Ok so I'm new at this. Let me just give you the run down. I have 8 fish(6 gourami and 2 paradise fish)in a 20 gal tank. I know, I know! Well lets just say its not working out. So I'm probably going to have to change the stock. I'm thinking about going with 3 dwarf cichlids. 1 male 2 female. Here...

If I were to start over with my 20 gal tank what would be you alls optimal tropical freshwater community in said size.

Ok sounds good. I guess I will have to separate them. Yeah I cycled the tank so everything should be stable. I've also been watching ammonia and ph levels. Water changes etc... I guess I should look into getting another tank.

I just got my tank. 20 gal. Plenty vegetation and caves. Before knowing anything about gouramis, I purchased 6(2 gold, 2 Opaline, a pearl, a three spotted), and 2 paradise fish. I have 8 in the aruarium and they seem to be doing fine. Its been about a week. Should I be worried? Or just go with...
