okay

yea the room was in totally darkness when i got home.

please help someone. i came home from the gym and turned my light on and all my cichlids were at the bottom of the tank sitting like “normally” if that makes sense and they were breathing very slowly. it almost looked like they were sleeping. i got very worried because i’ve never seen them do...

finally moved the cichlids back to the 55 and they are doing great. i’m convinced they never even had ich in the first place and i just assumed they did so when i used the meds 3 of them died because i was so worried about it but i never once saw white spots on them. u live and u learn i guess.

ok thank u

thanks

and synodotis. if u were to know. ik this isn’t a forum for that.

okay. i think i’ll get that substrate. can i keep african clawed frogs with that hardness?

okay. what can i do to raise the hardness? i have well water

what can i do to raise it then? the lady there said i needed to LOWER the gh lol i’m not listening to store employees

No worries i didn’t buy that garbage.

online it says 7.8 to 8.5 for ph

this

she said i should get this ph down stuff.

so yea she said it was very alkaline

okay i got it tested and on this picture the gh was 150 and the ph was 8.4. i live in wisconsin so the water is hard here.

okay

unfortunately wasn’t able to test the ph today. got very busy with exams and work. hoping for tomorrow. cichlids seem to be doing good still. aren’t breathing fast anymore and are swimming around. still think they got ich tho cuz only like 2 days ago they were rubbing their side against the...

ok good lol

ok i will do that tomorrow then. it’s closed now.

should i get both a gh and ph test then?

oh yea that’s right. how do i check that???

ok and they aren’t breathing fast anymore so that is good.

why did my water become to cloudy overnight?

woke up this morning and for the first time they are all still alive lol. they look more active and aren’t at the surface anymore. they chase eachother in circles sometimes which is weird.

i believe you are correct. i didn’t add the ich x and just let it be with temp at 82 and salt and they seem to be doing better except they are trying to scratch them self against the ground so they definitely have ich. should i continue to increase heat? they do seem to be breathing a little...

just got the water tested and everything was perfect. no ammonia and got everything else tested. nitrate, nitrate, and everything else. it’s all good. and no chlorine. so why are they like this????? i’m completely out of ideas of what to do.

it’s a private well

i went the the fish store and showed the guy the videos and he recommended ich x so i got that but i don’t know if i should use it? should i? my fish don’t show any signs of ich but they are at the surface breathing fast. he thinks it’s in the early stage.

there is none

ok i just changed 90% of the water, vacuumed the sand, and added the correct amount of salt. and i have the bubbler going and the filter acting like a waterfall but 2 of them are at the surface trying to get oxygen it looks like and the other is sitting at the bottom. they are also breathing fast

yea thank u.
