I have more fish in the original tank, the betta is by herself in the quarantine tank. I'm going to wait a few to see if the fish moves, if not then it's officially dead.

I meant to type tank water, I cleaned it with tank water but I mistyped. Yes, this is the same tank. Nitrate 20, nitrite 0, ph 6.5, didn't test for ammonia. I shouldn't have to tell you though, the card it comes with literally tells me what water parameters are safe.

Never mind I think it might be dead. It didn't move at all when I poked it with the net, I don't see any movement in the mouth or gills either. I can't get a pic right now, you'll just have to go off of the description. Of course it's dead. I can never save any fish.

This is extremely stressful. Now out of my three survivors, one is on the ground not moving again. I went on vacation so I couldn't monitor the water everyday. During the vacation, there was no food given, and lights off. Water parameters turned out fine according to the card that came with it...

I came back home from vacation to find that my betta attacked and injured one of my other fish. There were no signs of aggression before this. The victim is missing an eye, and I think a few scales. It was swimming around, occasionally stopping to rest on the bottom. Before I could remove the...

I don't have a test for ammonia, but nitrite is 0. I have water conditioner that takes care of chloramine and chlorine. I won't be able to monitor it all the time because I'm going on vacation soon for a week.

I did treat the tank with dechlorinator. Hopefully you're right and the beneficial bacteria is unharmed.

Either way you have to take the filter out, and for me the bathroom is right next to the room with the fish tank.

Idk what my tap water has, but I do have live plants. According to a fish tank stocking calculator, it's not overstocked, and the tank is like two years old. So maybe these factors will make it okay.

If I used tap water with conditioner instead, would that have been safe?

I'm already doing daily water changes to save my fish from dying.

I already cleaned out my filter with tap water, but afterwards was told not to do that because it rids beneficial bacteria. But there's other items in the tank that can have good bacteria too right? Like the decor, plants, and gravel hasn't been messed with. What effect will this have on my...

I did finally get the image to work. Oh no I did clean it with tap water, what do I do now?

The betta I have is a female in a community tank. She doesn't usually show any aggression. She only flares at the bag when I get new fish. Other than that she stays out of everyone's way.

I realized that I haven't been cleaning the tank properly, but was only concerned when my corydoras started dying off. I was doing water changes with cups (but I did add water conditioner). I would set a reminder to do it every two weeks. I want to get a siphon but I'm afraid I could...

I took it apart, rinsed off all the gunk, then put it back together. For the photos, it says the file type isn't supported.

So amano shrimp are too big? I thought I read somewhere that shrimp and bettas can be a problem, but if not, I'd love to get some. Not sure what the snail is, was wild caught.

I already have a snail, but I might look into getting more. I'm unsure if I should get shrimp because I also have a betta that could eat them.

Never mind, it might be the filter because I didn't know how to clean it before. I just cleaned it today so hopefully that'll stop them from dying. Nitrate 20, nitrite 0, ph 6.5, the test doesn't test for ammonia. I do run the filter continuously, is that bad? The filter is an Aqueon. I've had...

It won't let me submit a picture for some reason, otherwise I would. I don't remember the names of all the plants, but I have mostly java fern because that's the only plant I've had success with so far. Currently I have seven plants.

I have algae on the walls, decorations, and live plants. I've already tried wiping off the algae, but it wouldn't come off. I have the light on for 7 hours a day. I do regular water changes. I have a snail and some fish that like to pick at the algae. I have a 20 gallon so I can't get any big...

I suspect my corydoras have internal parasites. The medicine I was recommended can only get here by delivery, by then it might be too late. Is there anything I can do without having the medication? The suspected parasites kill my corydoras quickly after they show symptoms. They seem to be the...
