My problem is I have only one stand that will hold the 55g. The 55g tank is sitting on the floor right now empty. The 20g established is on the stand. It's rather heavy, so not sure if I can even lift the 55g with the water from the 20g. Also, should I wait to keep adding water to the tank? Does...

  What do you mean you added fish too soon? Do you mean you need to wait a little bit for everything to settle in the new tank before moving the fish from the bucket to the new tank? How much time, if so?

I recently picked up a 55 gallon tank and have very little idea on how to make the transition as smooth as possible.   I have the following fish established and cycled 20g tank with two filters running:   3 botia loaches (yo yo loach) 1 guppy 2 guppy fry separated in its own little container 2...

It swims exactly like tadpoles do and has the same color as a guppy fry is. The way they look like is the head appears black / dark, and the rest is the color of the guppy fry (grayish?). Sorry if this may seem offensive, but basically if you've ever seen how sperm move in grade school during...

Hey guys,   Over the past month or so, every now and then I keep seeing tadpole like fish, very very small randomly appearing in my tank and then eaten by my platy. Is there anyone who can tell me what the heck they may be? I know my endler guppy had two babies recently and I've placed them in a...

Hey guys & gals,   Long story short, my first time running into ich and I lost my clown loaches from it. I'm down to 4 of my original fish and they seem to be recovering from my persistent treatment.   While applying Kordon Ich attack herbal formula morning and night, I noticed this morning...

Hey guys, I just wanted to know what everyone's thoughts are with using different medication if one medication of ich doesn't seem like it's working. Or how long I should wait before I try something else. Thanks.

  I am using the liquid test strip, supposedly the only one recommended to use the API test water kit.   Anyways guys, I've definitely suffered some mass casualties here and I've learned my lesson. Next time, I'll be so much prepared. I am about 95% sure the ich orignated from the local pet shop...

  What size do you buy as I only have a 20 gallon right now. I read some reviews and it looks like the product works with the reviews so far, but need to use small dosage as it's very strong. I looked up some prices, but kind of expensive for what little you get. Where do you usually buy it for...

Yeah, the kordon ich treatment does not seem to be helping. I may need to resort to a real non-herbal solution as the kordon version is 100% natural herbal version. It's saddening just how bad one of the guppy and pleco is filled with ich.  I feel horrible and will get something for them as soon...

  I'd say it has been a good 2 months. A week and half ago it was reading ammonia 0.25, nitrite around 0.25ppm and nitrate pretty close to 3.5 PPM. Now all 0 it appears. That's OK right?   I've got a cobra endler guppy, a baby cobra endler guppy, two platys and the pleco.   Here are pics...

Hey guys,   My fish recently got hit with ich and I've been using kordon's 100% herbal ich treatment morning and night everyday for the past week. It seems that one of my guppy has it and my rubblerlip pleco has a bad case of it. I did a 75% water change the day I found out about it and another...

Hello everyone,   I started my fish hobby about 2-3 months ago and have learned a lot since then. Long story short, I moved fish from an old tank my co-worker had from my office to my home about a month ago. I really like seeing my fish thrive and it's a hobby I plan on learning more and more...
