Is it worth the effort trying to hatch them in a seperate tank?

Are these Nerite eggs?

I've just done another water test and got these results... Ammonia NH4 was still showing 0 Ammonium NH3 was showing 2ppm Nitrite was showing 0 Nirtrate was showing 0 I have since changed 90% of the water in two goes. I've also done a mega clean of the substrate and filter. I will continue to...

I'm using the Eco-Complete substrate, and it appears pretty clean. The black slime has now completely gone but I suspect all the bacteria has died off. Either way I have added AmmoLock into the tank which should ionize the ammonia and added SeaChem Stability. Tthe strange thing is there is no...

My API NH3/NH4 test kit is showing a reading of 2ppm. My JBL NH4 test kit is showing a reading of 0ppm. When changing my water I have been adding AmmoLock and Prime. I am guessing the ammonia present in the tank has been ionized into a non-toxic form? If so, shall I leave it alone or continue...

My water had little or no oxygen in so I'l stuck a massive airstone in there and left it blasting away overnight. How long does it take to oxygenate the water? I have also rearranged the filter output to make more water movement so to avoid this problem again. The substrate was spointless so I...

I've just had a thought..... If the water lacks oxygen, would that in theory kill the bacteria?

Nope, nothing comes to mind.

18 months or so.

Last week I woke up to find most of my fish dead, while the rest of them swimming along the water surface gasping for air. I immediately did a water test to identify the problem. While my ammonia and nitrate levels were around normal, the nitrite was 1-2ppm. I removed the dead fish, give the...
