I haven’t I do not have the test yet. I usually go every weekend and get it tested at the store , which I did Saturday and it was fine

I have a 36 gallon sitting at >10 ppm nitrate .5-1 ppm nitrite 7.8 ph I tested this morning all was normal except for the nitrite is sitting around 1 ppm I did a 20% wc just tested again and it didn’t seem to change. I did add salt last week to help with an infection and I don’t want to do a...

Thank you , i have salt in my tank right now due to an infection. Hopefully it won’t get to bad till I’ve diluted the salt out enough to do bigger changes again

Haven’t had algae before , from what I’ve read it isn’t an emergency. I’d still like to get rid of it. Thanks in advance

Ansorgii

My bichir have been with me for probably about a month I have a Senegal and a Delhezi , then a ansorgi who has been here for almost 2 weeks. Only problem I’ve had has been the Senegal biting the others tails , worried me for a sec cause the delhezi got an infection from the open wound. But...

Thank you! Should I put her in a qt? For salt and all that?

New update on her tail. Looking worse. It looks more like blood than ammonia burn right ?

But I’ve never seen any aggression

The Senegal is the queen about 4” she is little thicker then the delhezi who is about 3.5” . But the ansorgii is 2” and looks like a little noodle in there so I would figure she would try to eat her.

Tanks had fish in it for about a week after it cycled of course. I have a Senegal , delhezi , and just had a surprise shipped ansorgii. I’m waiting to upgrade too a 120gal till they are all a little bigger , also gives me time to save to do it exactly how I want it. Everything’s been fine with...

It said the order never went through 3 times , their site was having an error. I’ve ordered from them before and they have been good always. So something must of happened weird on their end cause I never got an email or anything. Kinda hoping the other 2 orders that errored show up 🙄

One of my brothers has been trying to buy me an ansorgii bichir but everywhere has been out or the sites have been erroring he tried 3 times last week. Walking into my house this morning i see a box behind my trash can. This poor baby girl has been sitting outside for 2 nights , she seems to...

Ok , thank you for the replies , ya my buddy and I had my 36 gallon at 50 with full substrate and had to move that across my place. It was not fun one bit. So maybe I’ll take out the hardscape and leave a few inches and just gently man handle it. I’ll be posting before and afters. Hopefully the...

My father is giving me his (I think) 30 gallon tank. He has a bala , an African cichlid, and a pleco. He hasn’t had time to maintain it how it should be so he’s letting me take it over. It’s about a 25 minute car ride. I was thinking just bring it down to like %30 water and gently driving them...

Took a while but finally got my baby cycled and looking good again. Oli (the Senegal) and Eli (the delhezi) are loving it. I wanted to wait till my plants were grown more but they were in my 10 gal swordtail tank so they were getting stressed. Love the look of sand compared to the gravel I had...

I’m buying a aquaclear 50 here next week , I’m currently using a silent stream 40 which came my set my up a while back. And ya I’ve been doing minimal feeding and the bichir are super happy less stressed and eating it all up right away which is better then last time. Got my water tested a few...

Yup that’s exactly what I did , it’s been cycling 2 days now , and the filters are a big size difference sadly.

Got a new sand substrate (cleaned it of course) I added all the quick start stuff added a plant and was gonna let it cycle for a week or 2 adding the quick start in the middle again to help that bacteria. Any suggestions (obviously I have more decors for them (live plants , caves)
