Yeah my cousin has had his fishes for over a year now, and he has a seperate tank where he can heal the cory, and he said he will most likely be using a combo of melafix and pimafix

Yeah thats what I was thinking, thanks for the replies. Gonna give them to my cousin who has a cycled 55 gal tank and do the fishless cycle

Sorry for not clarifying, I am doing about 20% water changes every day, should i do more % per day or do multiple changes each day? Given the tank is 20 gal high.

Tank Size - 20 Gal High Filter - Tetra Whisper 40 Heater - I forgot the name but it is a pretty good one for the tank Thermometer - 77 degrees Air Stone - 1 Sand Substrate Using API Master Tet Kit for water testing   Hey guys, I'm currently doing a fishy cycle (2 and a half weeks in) with 10...

Yeah you were right, I returned them ( lucky they even took them back ), Gonna get 1-2 gourami ( hope i spelled t right ) instead :D   I do wonder, the petco also has the same water as me ( since we both are in ny ), how come they still insist on selling these fishes knowing the water isnt very...

for the molly, my neon tetras should be fine with him right?? got 10 neon tetras ans 2 silver ones (mollies as stated) and 2 of the orange ones ( not sure if swordtail sine I see no sword shaped on their tails.

Got them from Petco, was disappointed that they didnt have my corys :( So my son decided on getting these, the worker said they will fit nicely in the tank and so far they have been peaceful but I totally forgot to get their names.... can someone give me a name for them??   1st fish...     2nd...

awesome, thanks guys, going with the gourami :D really hope just have 1 gourami doesn't stress him/her out because of being lonely

Awesome, thanks alot for that hardness levels :D, great for the cory and tetra, but sucks for the guppy; really liked that one xD. Any other fish recommended thats like the Guppy (fancy, like a center piece for the tank, doesnt get too big and dont need more than 2 in a tank) and will fit fine...

How is this for example?   6 peppered corys 2 Guppies 10 Neon Tetras (Research shows they are more peaceful than other species of tetra)   Not sure how accurate Advert for another forum removed can be but here it is.... Also it says that the ratio for than 1 guppy is Male to Female 1:2. any...

That was VERY informative Byron, thank you. I went to the website (New York) http://www.nyc.gov/html/dep/html/drinking_water/wsstate.shtmlbut I couldn't find anything on water hardness. I skimmed through it but no luck, and yeah thanks for the water advice, I didnt put any old water into the new...

Thanks a lot guys, definately helpful insights. I will be taking a water sample to petco and see what they say.      Can you expand on "hard to keep fully schools". Do they die off or something? or you just cant have them fully schooled because you cant fit that many in a tank?   I plan on...

I tried the method stated here http://www.wikihow.com/Determine-if-You-Have-Hard-Waterand looks like the hardness is around 3 out of 10. I plan to do a fishless cycle, going to have a 20 gallon tall tank, 150 watt heater, tetra whisper 40 filter, sand substrate, fake plants, ornaments, wallpaper...

Planing to get a 20 gallon for my nephew's room, was wondering what is the max number of fishes I can put in it. What I mean by that is, which kind of fishes I can put in there without overcrowding it. Already plan on putting 4 corys in there, no angelfish since I know they need their space, any...

  Is the sand some sort of plant enriched substrate?  These contain organics and obviously release CO2.  As I mentioned before, I've never had continuous bubbles on the substrate with play sand or gravel.  Air will be trapped within the substrate, and bubbles can rise from that.  But another...

  Well I really hope the bubbles wont be toxic to the fish, I will try to break them up as much as I can, but even if I try to break them up, new ones form instantly...

So, I just changed to sand from gravel and I must say, my corys seem to love it..   *I just added the sand 1 day ago* *I rinsed out the sand twice before adding it in the tank*   - The sand seem to have two layers in it.... the bottom one seems dark black with no air pockets while top one is...

Water Clarifiers do work as to clear up the water, but it will not resolve the cause of the cloudyness and the cloudyness will return in a day or two depending on the cause. I say just wait it out, check water levels to see any irregularities, check the bio bag in your filter and clean any...

  awesome thanks a lot, especially with the sand comment since I was just about to head out to replace my gravel with sand for my corys :D

 Thanks a lot, will give this a try tomorrow. Do I need to use any type of chemical to clean the glass or just use the plain scrubber?

Hey guys, I have a fully cycled 30g freshwater tank which has 4 baby angelfishes (about 1 inch to 1.25 inch) (I plan on moving the angelfishes to a bigger tank once they get bigger since I know they need space) and 4 spotted cory catfish (about 1 inch as well). The water levels are normal...

  Thanks a lot :D I will add 2-3 more corys then for the time being, then add more once I get a bigger tank for my angels.

  Thanks a lot for the info, I just fed them and saw 1 angelfish eat 2 flakes and another going to the bottom of the tank and "eating". the 3rd however went to the flakes, and turned around.   As for the Corys, I will look for the veggie omega ones like you suggested. When I got them, I only...

I know this is a cory but which one? albino? spotted? etc.   Reason im asking is that I have 3 and need 1 more since 4 seems better.   The cories seem to be super active all the time, which I researched upon is normal for the beginning 1-2 months and then they just settle down at the bottom most...

Thanks a lot, no wonder my angels were so scared and not eating

Hey guys, can someone tell me the name of this fish and if it is safe to keep it with my angelfish?? Thanks :D

The water levels are now stable after a lot of gravel cleaning and using those dissolving ph control tablets.... phew Fishes seem to be more comfortable and added an airstone to help with the nitrate levels. Thanks a lot. And i guess I rather not take a chance so i might leave them with my friend

Good reminder, im actually going on vacation for 5 days, i wondering can my fishes go without food for that long? Since I read in a lot of places that they can for 2 weeks or should I leave them with my friend to take care of them?

Well i got the test, only nitrate level was really tiny bit high but now they are good, all 3 fishes are doing great, the angelfishes are now swimming more around the tank instead of being in their corner,however they are not eating the tropical fish flakes, the regular and the colored ones... i...

Thanks a alot, but cant do a return since the store only takes returns up to 48 hours but the fishes are doing fine as of now, I'm going to get the api master kit and check the water, thanks a lot once again

Thanks alot, so then am I to assume that the 3 remaining fishes in my tank are gonna die regardless due to an incomplete cycle? Or they have a chance? If yeah what should i do at this point? When can it be safe to add more fish?

Well The one I used is API Quick Start, not sure how it s in comparison with the ones you mentioned. And I ordered the test strips so once they come in, I can let you know the results. other than those things, anything else I should invest for my tank? Here is a picture of the tank.  

Hi all, my name is Sammy, I'm from New York. This is my first post there so I really hope that I'm in the right place, if not can I request a moderator to move this thread to the right section? Thanks   Anyways, I just started my hobby of having fishes as pets. So before getting them I did a...
