I would agree but it never felt warm.

I do have a power filter; I got the air pump for surface agitation. It definitely turned itself off. It's brand new, sucks to hear it's probably faulty.

I don't want it on 24/7 as it creates quite a lot of noise. I wrapped a towel around it to make it quieter, but the noise is noticeable. Every few minutes it turns itself off for a few seconds before coming back on.

All the articles I've read only mentioned doing drip acclimation for shrimp.

So, with a nonbreathing bag does that mean shrimp don't have to be drip acclimated?

So, I was looking into why people do drip acclimation for shrimp rather than floating the bag, I came across the term breathing bag. I looked it up and it looks the same as any fish bag. But I read that nonbreathing bags are the standard. How would you tell the difference? I would get shrimp...

I don't have the betta together, I used to because I wanted to try a community tank. What I'm asking is how I'm supposed to maintain two separate tanks when I only have one type of water.

They're not guppies. It was platies and mollies. But yes, unfortunately your scenario happened and now they are separated.

I could be reading it wrong; I think I got KH and Gh mixed up, the gh is dark blue. But my test only goes up to 180. So, it could be higher. The damage is already done, I already have these fish so I might as well learn to care for them. I used to have my betta with them, are bettas and...

With the filter, it's been buzzing after I forgot to unplug it in a water change. I cleaned the filter to help it, it stopped being as loud for a while but went back to buzzing. My GH is 120, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do when I have hard water fish in one tank and soft water in...

I just did a water change, but I can do another if it helps.

Water quality checks out as I recently did a water change, low oxygen could be an issue, and if it is I can't fix it until next time I go to the store. I hope it's not disease but there's not any other symptoms. My ph is a little low at 6.5.

I want something that'll occupy the bottom. I'm interested in shrimp since they barely have any bio load, but I've also heard they're sensitive. I have livebearers, so if they would eat them, I'd have to get Amano shrimp, which I'm not really interested in since they're not as colorful as other...

Water quality shouldn't be an issue, I just did water change yesterday. I have a filter, but I've recently been having some issues with it. Unless putting the filter up higher would work. I'll look into getting an air stone. If there's anything else, I can do before going to the store let me know.

It almost looks like she's drinking the water. She's not doing it constantly; she'll take a break then go right back to it. I hope she's okay.

Idk why it looks like this. The only thing I could think of is maybe if I used too much Prime. The tank is about two months old. It didn't look like this before. I haven't done anything recently besides water changes.

This is my boy Juno. I got him early on this year. He is pretty timid (normal for guinea pigs) unless you're feeding him. Then he will climb on you. While bribing with food, he also sometimes lets you pet him until he pancakes. Somedays he's quiet, other times he squeaks like there's no...

Since the breeder net didn't work and nothing else appealed to me, I decided to just let it be survival of the fittest and see how they do. I have several fry but I'm not sure if they're big enough to make it to adulthood, but I have a few I know for sure. No idea if more are due because when...

As in, it has to be cleaned with water that was dosed with Prime?

I only feed them a pinch of flakes every day, from what I've seen this is just common for livebearers as I've never seen it in any other fish I've owned.

And now the usually quiet filter buzzes. Idk what I should do now. Should I get a new one? If I do it might upset the cycle. I think it still works but I'm not sure.

If I did that it would mean having to cycle and keep up with water changes for another tank. No thanks. I wouldn't do that unless I was a serious breeder. In my case I just want a couple fry to survive.

My additives: Prime Aqueon water conditioner Seachem root tabs

Java ferns, anubias, moss, whatever's in stock.

I wanted live plants for my new tank, but I don't have a fish tank light yet. Would adding the plants before having light hurt them? They can survive in the store without fish tank lighting. I've had to have my other planted tank light off for going on vacation as I didn't want an algae bloom...

The suction cup attached to it no longer suctions onto the glass no matter how much I tried to clean it. I need a way for it to stick that's aquarium safe.

If you tell a molly's gender the same way you do platies, I think it's a girl but I'm not certain.

It kind of sucks to keep buying stationary plants that don't grow out to make a tank look more planted. I'm new to live plants, but I want more than stacking up on plants like java fern, amazon sword, and anubias. I want plants that you don't have to buy a lot of to make a tank look adequately...

I did watch that video, in fact I was busy watching that video when people were asking me to watch it the first time. But that was to start the siphon. At least the part I watched was. The sand is a different matter.

Well unfortunately I can't afford any right now.

I did have ammonia at first for a couple days, then it went away and never converted to nitrite or came back. The Prime smells like strong algae seawater. This tank is only for one fish. I don't remember my water chemistry; I'd have to test again. I'm not waiting any longer as at this point it...

I know, it detoxifies it which gives the tank time to cycle as the fish can stay safe. I can't really answer the other questions as I don't really remember.

My new tank doesn't have any plants, just the essentials.

I recently have sand substrate. When I try to clean it like I did with gravel, a portion of the sand gets sucked up into the hose. I have to scoop it back into the tank with a net. I don't want to lose substrate every water change.

My tank has failed to cycle after adding an ammonia source daily, nitrates, nitrites, and ammonia all stayed at 0. I've done it for two months now with no results, so I decided I'm going to do a fish in cycle. I did a water change. My fish should be fine as long as I add Prime in every day. But...

I was just told they should be fed several times a day.
