I forgot to mention that I added ammolock which send to look oily but not sure of that is where the oily film is coming from. How do I help my fish!! I will do water changes again, tomorrow but want to make sure they do not die overnight. I feel so bad for them 😢

I have done 2 water changes today. 50% and 25% about 30 minutes ago. All the fish are at the top gasping for air. after the first water change, the ammonia was still reading almost 8. The water has an oily film in it. I removed all 4 live plants. What has caused this overnight ammonia spike...

No kids. Just my husband and I. No dead fish. Did find a dead leaf on one of the plants. Which I removed this morning. Correct, ammonia at .50 is not a good number. I just meant that it was all I’ve been working towards getting at 0, being that all else was going in the right direction. Water...

I added bottled beneficial bacteria. The only reason I did in fish cycle is because that’s how I started in thing 10 gallon tank I purchased, with fish, from petsmart. No one ever told me about cycling and I lost a few fish which then brought me to researching and learning what I now know. Too...

I’ve been doing upto 50% like 3 times a week. The water has been fine other than still .50 ammonia. I stopped by a local owned aquarium shop yesterday, and explained all I’ve done so far. He stated the .50 will eventually go to 0 as I’m doing what is correct. He said it could take another month...

Help please!! I am aware that I am still going through the cycle process. 36 gallon tank is at a little over a month. All levels ( tested with API liquid test) have been reading great except for ammonia which has been steady at .50 and I have done a few partial water changes. There are a few...

Thank you. How big is your tank? You’re probably an expert at this. I am still new at all this and learning 😢

Thank you. How much of a water change should I do? 50% everyday? Until reading 0 ammonia? The water conditioner I use does exactly what you mentioned. I do have a few live plants. I started feeding less and keeping light on, as long as I used to. This has definitely kept algae away...

Thank you. The ammo lock I added after the partial water change. I am still trying to understand this. I only did 30% water change on Thursday. Last Wednesday I did 50%. If I keep doing water changes, how will the tank keep BB in it? I use water conditioner in the new water and let it sit...

I did another water change, and have been doing one every 5 days. I’ve had the new 36 gallon tank now for about a month , after upgrading from 10 Gallons. All the tests are reading where they should be but ammonia is still at 1.0. I am using API liquid kit. Last night I started the Ammo lock...

Thank you!! I will work on the plants today. As o watched them for the one day they were in the tank, I didn’t see any issues among them. What happened after I went to bed, I’ll never know. I checked to see if they ( barbs and shark) we compatible mates, and read that they were. Again, this is...

Oh wow lol What kind is he? How big? When I did water changes, I kept all fish in the water. He never acted weird.

No, didn’t check for marks but also didn’t notice anything unusual on it. Sorry 😢

That’s crazy omg. I keep my lid on. Never stays off the tank. 😩

All were good when I tested them. Even after he died.

Hmm interesting 🤔. I had never seen the shark jumping. He stayed at the bottom of tank about 90% of the day.

What kind of poisoning? 😢

No he/she was perfectly fine until I added the 3 new barbs. Day after I added them, was when I found him dead. That’s why I wondered if one of them may have attacked it.

I’ll post it tomorrow. He’s not stressed. He’s dead 😢😢😢😢😢

I do have a lid on my tank. The shark stayed at the bottom for the most part. He would come up and eat with the tetras as he wasn’t a shy shark. Being a bottom feeder, we also fed him his pellets. He likes to go inside the house but also came out throughout the day. He, the 6 tetras and 3...

I am still new to all this. I started with a 10 gallon about a little over a month and a half. 2 tetras and barbs died. Never knew anything about cycling the tank. I then was left with 2 tetras. Cleaned the tank , got 3 more tetras and the shark. After 2 weeks later I upgraded to a 36 gallon...

A few days after my water change, I added 3 tiger barbs glo fish. That made my count go to, 6 glo tetras, 3 glo danios, 1 glo shark, and the new 3 barbs. Before adding the barbs, all others were great together for the 3 weeks they all lived together. Where did I go wrong???? After the water...

Thank you Based off the pictures I posted, would you recommend I put those tabs in? I added the plants after reading that it helps with algae and helps keep water a bit cleaner.

Hello all. Will I need to put anything down before putting live plants in? I have a few live plants in my new tank but not sure if anything is needed under the gravel. Please help!

❤️It!

I agree!! 🙃

Wow!!! They really are enjoying it. Is it a lettuce wrap?
