Ya know now that you mention it, I don't think that they like the flakes. Of course the Dojos will eat anything, but the Tetras not so much. I'm getting ready to test the water here in a few, I'll post the results. Right now I have some brine shrimp defrosting for them. :fish: As stressful as...

I ordered the Mr Tim's, it should be here tomorrow.

I did the large wc like 75% on the 18th due to the amon being at 1ppm the day before. I live in an apartment complex where the water is brought in from local resources. I feed them once a day in the evening and usually have them fast 1 day a week. Here's what they have been fed: 10/14...

I've attached my parameters for the last week. I also attached a few screenshots of the water report for my zip code. I have no idea what I'm looking at or if it does any good showing it. LOL

I will re-test the tap water again tomorrow in the daylight. I may be reading it wrong.

Here are my parameters for the last week. As for the lighting, It's just been my living room lamp. I will do them again tomorrow in the daylight. I just put in Anacharis in a few days ago. I know nothing about keeping plants. I've been concentrating and trying to learn how to keep my fish...

Thank you for the advice!! Will definitely do that. I'm having a little trouble finding the right kind of ammonia. I haven't set up any new tanks yet but want to very soon.

It reads 2.0ppm and yeah it does say shake the bottles and I've been following the instructions. Guess I need to "bang it against the wall" :rofl: Seriously, still cracking up!!

Thanks everyone for the info! That's the only time that I've rinsed the filters and thought I had to since they were overflowing. I've tested my tap water and it always reads 2ppm. I use the API test kit, and honestly, sometimes it's difficult for me to match the colors up. So I'm sure there are...

On Sept 24th I had these parameters Amon 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 5. So of course I thought my tank was cycled. I test the water every day, sometimes twice a day. I have yet to get another reading of 0 for Amon, it's either been .25 or .50. I have been doing frequent wc and have vacuumed the gravel...

Thank you so much for the encouragement!! I love those cup things. Definitely gonna check into those!

Thanks for the response! I actually did shake the bottle and it did suds up. Back to the store I go...

Hey y'all 👋 So I will be setting up 5 & 10gal tanks soon (within about a month or so) and was wondering if it would be okay to run a couple of small sponge filters in my 75gal tank to be transferred to help with cycling. I was also thinking about the same with some decor as well. Thoughts? I...

Great idea thank you!

Thanks for your response! I know it probably looks kinda tacky just stuck to the glass like that!! 😆 For one, I have zero aquascape skills, (or any type of interior design skills for that matter) and secondly, I purchased them to help out with the water quality. Honestly, I'm stressed out...

Hey y'all! I have never had plants before so this is brand new to me. I purchased a couple bunches of Anacharis and I didn't want them just floating around so I attached a few sprigs to the wall with suction cups. Is this going to be okay? Any suggestions/feedback will be greatly appreciated...

Thank you! I will definitely try that!

I only drink bottled water cyz the tap water taste nasty to me. I live in an apartment complex and from what I've read it is imported thru treatment facilities. As for the PH difference, I have no idea. The updated test results were from my aquarium.

Hello my fish peeps! Hope y'all are having a smooth weekend 😎 So I just tested my tap water using the API test kit and the results are Nitrite 0, Nitrate 0. PH 8.2, Ammonia 2.0 The Ammonia in my 75gal non-planted tank which houses 3 Dojo Loaches and 9 Neon Tetras, has been consistently...

Hopefully I will never need it. There's only one LFS that I shop at and he's been in business for years and has a huge following and rating. I've done alot of research and it seems like it's the thing to do. I have also learned that there are a kazillion different opinions that often contradict...

I currently have a 75gal community tank that's been running since August 8th with 3 Golden Dojos and 9 Neon Tetras. I've had tanks on and off over the years but this one is the first one that I'm learning to do it right as far as cycling and researching different types of fish. And maaannnn the...

Hey there my fellow Fish People and happy Friday!! So I just purchased 2 10gal tanks and I also have a 5gal. I want to make one of them a hospital/quarantine tank and am wondering which would be best for that. Also I would love some suggestions on what to do with the other two. TIA!!!

I translated the print and I found this through Google.

Hello my fellow fish people! Hope y'all having a smooth fishkeeping day!! I bought 2 huge HOB filters that I found on Offer Up. They actually came from Japan (translating the directions was a trip). I am currently running the Aqueon Quietflow in my 75g. I hooked up one of them on the other...

Hey y'all!! So I keep seeing these feeder rings and just wanted to get some feedback as to how to use them and are they worth it. In my 75gal tank, I am swapping out my black gravel for Black Diamond Sand. I have done alot of research on it and have decided to make the switch (not to mention...

No worries 😁 oh yeah that's just one idea, definitely would put others in as well. That's just what I'm thinking off the top of my head... I appreciate you!!😎

I'm actually in San Diego, CA. And yes I did notice lolol. Not quite sure what I want to stock it with. Cichlids are cool but I'm thinking I want some schooling fish. With my size tank it would look really cool to have like 20 schoolers swimming around in unison. Back to the drawing board we...

Well, I thought my tank was cycled, however 2 days later my ammonia was at 1. Did several large wc and it's been at .5 nitrite 0 nitrate 0. I also just rehomed my 3 Dojo Loaches 😭 because they need sand and I have gravel (thank you pet store guy!!). The thought of switching out the substrate is...
