Hey guys, so i went to the store turns out because of the corona situation and where i live we are in a lockdown, they arent selling anything live right so no live animals, no live plants, just curbside pickup for products only like food, toys stuff like that, so bummer :/. I will keep on adding...

Yes thanks for the reply, i will be looking today in a couple hours at the store and see what happens and ill update it here!

I dont know, i might go to the store and just look at the prices of some plants and ask the people that work there and like search it up a little, i might buy them, i might not, ill let you guys know though. Thanks, il keep you guys updated on whats going on, also in terms of ammonia, should i...

I was just searching it up and it said that a java fern did not need fertilizer, as well as hornwort but it said minimum tank size for hornwort was 15-20 gallon so i cant get that.

Do you know any plants that do not need fertilizer? thanks

well i mean if i do get plants i would want to keep them, so theres no plants out there that can live without fertilizer?

potted plant, anubias, moneywort, hornwort, green cabomba, amazon sword, java fern, corkscrew vallisneria, water wisteria, green mondo grass, scarlet templet, red ludwigia, acorus, bamboo, curly bamboo. Those are all the live plants that i can get, but i dont want one where its high maintenance...

as much as i could, around 80%

Alright well I officially give up i don't know what to do, here are the test results for ammonia and nitrite

Thanks for the reply, oh ok so bascially a tank that crashed is just a worse stalled cycle? pretty much ok so then yea i dont have that lol. im gonna post the test updates in a hour or so just so it can get settled and stuff but ok thank you i was just wondering lol, talk to you soon!

Hey guys, so i jus did a wc which ill update it in an hour or so, but after i was done i was just researching like whats wrong with my tank and then i heard that you can get a tank crash, ive heard it before, but i dont rlly know what it is and im guessing you guys do, so i was just wondering if...

no :/ ill be on the lookout and researching different types of low maintenance plants though! i will be doing a WC soon after i get off work so i'll update the test results here in a couple hours. Thanks!

Yea i just searched it up, and where im from they dont have frogbit which sucks :/

Yea ik to test it 30 mins to let all of them mix, alright so i'm gonna try removing the old fish food in the tank that i can see, then continue adding food? idk i guess thats what im gonna do, as for the plants, are there any plants that do not require much care, like plants that i don't need to...

Hey, just tested it right now, not even gonna bother showing you the pics, its exactly like the last test, I will now do as a big of a water change as I can while removing some of the rotten food I see in the substrate today, after I do the water change what do you guys suggest I do? Test it 30...

Hey thanks so much for the reply, i will test it tomorrow after putting some fish food in couple days earlier too see what happens and ill update it here like @mcordelia said to try this out. If nothing happens, i will do a 100% water change while removing some rotten fish food that i can see...

Thank you so much youve helped me alot throughout this whole mess. I'll do what you said, add some fish food, then wait until Tuesday to test it. I have added alot of ammonia in before thats the thing but it stayed the same, i guess we'll see tuesday, thank you so much once again appreiciate it

Idon rlly know much about plants like if they die rot or something is wrong with them i wouldnt know. yes ik i can research them, but im just not comfortable as of rn since im kinda still a beginner lol! but if my cycle is nearly complete why is there still ammonia? and why did it get higher...

hey thanks for the reply. I am still doing fish food as my source of ammonia. I will try and put more ammonia but ive tried this before and it didnt work. But i will try it again cuz i trust u lol. Also for the plants, i wouldnt know which ones to get or how to take care of them. Wouldn't i also...

Hey I'm back with bad news, interesting and confusing results with the test, ammonia is now at 1 ppm and nitrite is lower with like a 0.12.5 ppm? In the middle between 0 and 0.25. Nitrates still the same roughly, I've attached a picture if the test results, this is what I'm saying, ammonia never...

Ok sounds good! thank you so much again!

So i dont need to feed anything right? cuz idon want any more ammonia in there as of rn right?

Honestly that works out perfect for me lol, ill be sumwhere else for the next couple days anyway probably sunday so it works out perfect.

Thank you!!! I rlly appreciate ur help! here are the test results, I will attach a pic, sadly.. still the same results :/

I will do the water change tmrw since i will test it tmrw (cuz i stopped feeding for couple days) cuz the first person said to maybe try this out, ill update my results tmrw and if its the same ill do what u said and do a 100% water change and only vaccum a little amount cuz idon wanna risk the...

Hey so surpisingly all my tests came back 0, i thought it would contain chloramime but i guess not lol. So now i should do a 100% water change? then test it 30mins later right? but im scared to do this because wouldnt it jus take most bb away and then restart the cycle?

Ok i will post my tap water results here so dont go anywhere lol, itll take maybe 5 mins, and yes ill do those things if it comes back good

so should i test for all 3 from the tap water, nitrite, ammonia, and nitrate. Also as of rn im in love with the dwarf gourami so one of those and then a couple of cory catfish, probably peppered ones cuz i like those lol. and oh wow that is so good to hear lol, so should i stop adding food?

Thanks again for the reply. I might go to the LFS soon if i dont figure it out within the next month because i don think i can hang on any more after that lol. As for plants i do not, only silk artificial plants. I do see some rotten food, my tank is 10 gallons by the way, not big but just to...

what did u feed the fish? pellets, flakes e.t.c

There may be alot of rotting food in the tank and it is continuous as when i stopped for a dumb reason i starting putting it everyday, u think this is the reason? if it is i was kinda on the right track on a few replies earlier from mine today. Im not too sure though. And i use tap water as my...

Thanks i really appreciate the reply, first, my tap water does have a source of chlorine and clhoramime and i have a dechlorinator to get rid of that, as of rn i am using Tetra aqua safe.Secondly I did have a bacteria starter kindve thing, its called Nutrafin Cycle as it was the most easiest way...
