One day I will have mastered this. So much fun to learn it all!!

About 12 hours a day 😢. Learning on this forum that I am not supposed to have on that long.

Thanks. Algae is on the only live plant and decorations. Looks brown to me.

Thank you!!! What a learning process. I just want to do what needs to be done to make sure they are healthy and happy. Is the algae causing the water to be cloudy. Only one week after change? I read that water changes make water cloudy. If I do water change each week then it seems water will...

Ohhhhh noooo. I will get a test kit today. They seem to be happy. All 6 tetras school together. The 3 danios are so fast and energetic. They stay moving mostly in the top. My one glo shark stays at the bottom. Oh question on the bottom dweller shark. He is the cutest and is growing. I got him...

Why would ammonia need to be tested? How does it hurt or benefit my fish or tank? I will go today to buy testing for it.

I think it is too. I’ve only had fish for a month in a half now. 3 weeks in 10 gallon tank then switched to 36 gallons. Also, since I never knew anything about the water cycle in a fish tank, I went online to do some research before bringing the fish over to the 36 gallon tank. Much of what I...

Should I not use the strips I have now? I can text now and post a picture of the strip.

So much to learn. Thank you!

Here are some pics. Also showing cloudy water and algae. Thank you!!

Thank you. That makes perfect sense. I also have one of those cleaners attached to a hose looking thing. Which will help get in the gravel.

I do not have it anymore since I was able to return the tank to petsmart. It was a strip that ran across the entire back of the 10 gallon tank.

Thank you. You say to do one everyday. Is that how often I need to clean my tank? I’ll never be able to do that. 😢 I was thinking once a week would be good but what do I know.

Hello all! When I got my first 10 gallon tank, it came with the LED kit and also included a water bubbles strip. 3 weeks later when I upgraded to my 36 gallon tank, I DID NOT add the water bubbler strip. Should I have one? If so, how do they help the fish and or tank? Thanks!

Thank you. 75%?? This soon? I’ve only had the new tank for about 3 weeks. Don’t want to hurt my fish 😢. Will that be a good amount to change out? Again, I am new to this and want to make sure I am doing it correctly.

Thank you. Going to do a water change today. Will reduce the lighting as everyone is suggesting I should do. Will also stop over feeding them.

Thank you.

I forgot to mention and admit that I may be over feeding them. I also keep their light on at least 12 hours a day. Here is a photo after just water changing and cleaning, last week. Oh and the filter is so dirty after only one week. Doing another water change tomorrow. Can I take gravel out to...

I will post pictures tomorrow since they should all be sleeping now. I am about 1.5 month new to all this. Started with 4 glo tetras in a 10 gallon tank. 3 died. No one told me about the cycle of the tank. I upgraded 3 weeks ago to a 36 gallon. I basically bright everything from old tank, to...

Why is there algae after one week of doing a water change?? 😢

I am new at this hobby and to this forum. Hoping to get some help with my new fish and aquarium. So much to learn!!
