Update! Everything is working smoothly. And my tank is cycled now. So I am relaxed more so. I started a 8g as well and used tetra safestart. That cycled in 2 days. So it worked for me. Figured it wouldnt hurt to try. Anyways, I have some cories now in the 10g (pygmy of course) and I am thinking...

So many complications.....will have to chew him out again....he just dont understand....ugh! Thanks. Will keep an eye on them. They are pretty. Just wish my bf understood what I meant when I said no fish yet.....yeesh...

Okay, My intention is that I did not want to do a FISH IN CYCLING! My boyfriend bought more guppies for my sons last guppy to have buddies then put them in my 10 gallon even though it wasnt done cycling. None of this is my intention. I was asking if I need to do a water change so I dont lose...

Still at the beginning. Just now got nitrite readings.....I will be doing daily readings and water changes. He threw away the 1g tank..

The original tank was a 1 gallon tank(my ignorance beforehand) That is far to small for any fish! So I will just go ahead and do daily water changes.....trust me he had a few earfuls. I wasnt to happy about it.

To everyone, My question has to do with a mistake my boyfriend made. I was doing a fishless cycle. But when I came home from work the other day, he had put my son's final guppy in the tank with 3 others. My tank is not cycled. Now my question would be can I do a water change. I am finally...

Goldfish are not good for 10 gallons.  I have read that they need very large tanks (20gs I think) cause of the high bio-load.  Now I have been cycling for a few days and finally got a Master Kit today.  I tested my tank (I started stability today out of curiousity to see if it would work.  I am...

ABSOLUTELY! THANKS SO MUCH! And I do have water thats been sitting around. Go figure. :D

I have never fishless cycled, let alone heard of it, HOWEVER, I have been researching and I plan on buying ammonia hear in the next day or two.  (Need more money, -.-')   I am also going to invest in a API Master Kit (is that the name) so I have accurate readings.  And to the_lock_man, I...

OKAY EVERYONE! I got my 10 gallonn tank today and its all set up with conditioner amd the bacteria stuff. I am letting it run (will add plants later) so I am still thinking about stocking. Its a, if I remember right, 20L x 10D x 12H. So its a classic glass rectangle marine land aquarium with LED...

Sorry everyone, got busy with a lot of stuff.  I have been in the market for a bigger aquarium.  I am hopefully gonna get some dwarf puffers (pea puffers, min. gallon tank of 15 for 3 or 4) and a few otos.  I haven't exactly figured out if that is my final decision and have been looking on...

I haven't gotten my 10g yet but I am wanting to have a set idea of what to stock it with.  I want something unique but at the same time, I know a 10g is too small for many fish.  I was thinking a dwarf gourami but I am concerned that it would be too small.  May stick with Bettas.    Another...

Thanks so much.  I plan too enjoy it for a long time.

I have definitely considered sand, because I would like some corys, and I was just wondering about the swords because it was a weird little thing that made me go "What?"   I have actually gotten the little guys to swim to the top of the tank and move some, they seem to have perked a little but I...

I have males only because I did research and discovered that they can breed like mad and having a 10g isn't big enough for breeding.  I have looked into the Betta idea (didn't know it was tropical until I did research! Go me!).  I've been closely monitoring the guppies and they are not looking...

Hello All,   It is so good to find somewhere that I can post my questions to and actually get honest answers from people who know what they are doing.  Makes me absolutely happy.   Well, anyways, I say restarting because I grew up with really big tanks and helped with cleaning and feeding. ...
