Hello all, happy holidays and happy new year!! I have just gotten a 12gal Gankpike tank for Christmas. Apparently it coming with everything you need expect decor. I am looking for some suggestions on what to do with the tank and also set up. I definitely want to do a small amount of coral in...

Minimum of 1 discus for 50 gallon ? I was told it’s about 10 gallons per adult discus. Also, my discus are in an age range of adolescent and juvenile.

Right now I have two Madagascar lace plants, two anubias , and one amazon sword that isn’t doing to good. I did have an amazing banana plant but it almost died . I have an led light that is on a 24 hour timer and I used seachem root tabs along with seachem flourish. I mean I would love to...

I have 4 right now and I do plan on getting a larger tank, prolly 75-85 gallon, so I would want a set up that I can also use for when I size up.

Okay so I have a 45 gallon planted tank with some discus. I am about to try and create a moss carpet. I want to add some CO2 to the water for the plants. My plants are growing fine now but I really want them to flourish. So I am wondering what’s the best way to add CO2 and how much do I add...

Thank you so much. I will definitely look into these

Hmmm I didn’t know that the seeds were not legit. I would be open to other carpet plants and I do use root tables the flourish ones by seachem. So can I sandwich the seeds between the mesh and wait for them to sprout ? Also what’s a legit place to buy the seeds from?

Yes the water softener pillow. I have that too. I have that and the peat media in my filter.

It’s funny because I came home today and look what I saw

Yeah, it’s frustrating when things like this happen because hind sight is always 20 20. I would say moving forward maybe do not go back to that fish store or quarantine anything you buy from there before putting it in your tank. As of right now the only thing I know to recommend is a heavy water...

Hmm seems like something came from those neons. Did you pour the water from the fish store in the tank ?

Looks great !!! You are making me want re-aquascape my whole tank!!

Yeah I read that too. Maybe ill try a super low dose and see if anything happens.

Yeah I know I have been looking all over the internet for it. Is is mandatory that I use the dewormer ? And how often should I use it ?

Trust me I feed these fish to damn much. I have a variety of food too. They get anything from blood works to beef hearts to some flakes and some pellets. the only thing is gonna I was on another thread that the need to be dewormed. I have a black ghost knife fish in the tank and I know what you...

Honestly, it becomes like an obsession after a while. First you are worried about your water levels, then you’ll want to breed or aquascape and the next thing you know you have 5 different tanks and more knowledge than someone working at sea world. Lmao

If you can I would recommend isolating them, adding some salt and keeping the water really clean in the quarantine tank. It’s funny bc I just wrote the to another thread about fin rot. But really you want to make sure the fish cannot open the wound once it starts to heal and you want to make...

Don’t feel too bad about it. I did the same thing when I got my first tank. It’s just soo hard to be patient to add fish but you must like it is mandatory. Since you already have some fish in there I would recommend doing water changes often, like every 2 days but not too much water because you...

Everyone it’s going to recommend aquarium salt. I mean I am going to as well lol. Especially if you aren’t certain that it’s fin rot. You could also raise the heat in your tank to kill off any type of infection in the tank. I would also recommend isolating that betta just in case it is fin rot...

Yeah if the betta is active definitely don’t get the shrimp. I actually did this and I ended up getting another tank for the shrimp because I felt so bad that they were being chased around so much. On the plus side, I have a nice shrimp tank now ! Anyway, if you could get a picture of the algae...

I didnt even know there were water dealers. I knew you could buy like a gallon from petco but i did not know there were water dealers.

Yeah maybe like 30% ? Fancy goldfish are usually really hardy fish so they should be able to handle it. If you still have a smell after the 30% water change, i would do a 50% water change a week after that.

Yes nerite snails are great, I have one in my betta tank ! But the eggs, the damn eggs lol Those things will be all over your tank and they are difficult to get off. I mean you need like a razor edge to get them off and can risk scratching your tank.

At first i was like why quarantine? But then you said you just got over ich which is a nuance to get rid of! Mystery snails cannot get ich, I mean there is an small chance they can get in there shell but it is not common, or at least to what i know. I mean if you wanted to quarantine the snail...

Hmmm I would recommend giving you filter media a good rinse in some water from the aquarium mixed with alittle bit of fresh water then actually rinsing the filter itself in some water. You do not want to rinse the filter under hot or cold tap water because then it would kill all the beneficial...

Yeah that is what i meant too. Its like brown dirt. I didnt mean to call it peat moss lol

He is a beautiful betta! However, I would be careful with putting the shrimp in with the betta. It depends on his temperament to be honest. Since you have some algae in the tank i would recommend getting a mystery snail, but only one because they reproduce quickly. If the betta does bother with...

Alright so i will put some more peat moss in the media bag. Also, how often should i replace the peat moss in the media ?

I really want to get a moss carpet in my tank. I tried to buy one online but they are only sold in like 5"-10" pieces. I have a 45 gallon so i would definitely need more than that. I know that I can buy some moss and sandwich it between two pieces of mesh, but can i do the same with moss seeds...

Honestly, i would get a mystery snail. Just one though or else they will reproduce. Those guys are the hardest work snails. I also have a nerite snail in one of my nano tanks that does a great job at cleaning algae but it lays eggs like crazy. Nerite eggs are reaaallly hard to get off so i would...

It honestly looks like snail eggs. Ramshorn can asexually reproduce. If you see them in other spots on the tank then its definitely snail eggs. Just a warning if it is, they can get out of control really quickly so keep an eye on it.

They are not wild caught discus. I mean they are laying eggs they just wont stop eating them. I also do not know if they are even fertilizing them. its their first time so i dont know if they dont know what they are doing or the eggs are not hatching because of my water levels. I feel like i...

No, I meant is the storage tank for the RO system required. I know that there is an option to buy a tank for the RO system.

I have had it there for about a month. I mean I did not put to much in because i read the reviews on it and it said that is drops the PH drastically if you put to much. I put about a tablespoon and a half in the media bag.

Yeah, that is what i thought. I just have to save up and get one. It will not only be beneficial for my fish but for me as well. Another question though, do you have a tank with you RO set up ? Like are they needed?

I have a filter for tap water under my sink, but it is not RO. I honestly do not know what it does, i think its like a brita filter type of thing. I use it for my water changes, but do you think i can put RO type filters in it ? I know im not speceific enough but any ideas?

I have a 50 gallon tank with 4 discus in the tank. My levels are almost perfect. I have no ammonia or nitrite, low levels of nitrate (b/c there are plants in the tank), 0 KH, and 6.8 ph. However, my general hardness is super high. I have tried everything. I have peat moss media in my filter...
