I have just treated my entire tank for parasites after just getting ich from a new fish we introduced to the tank. It cleared up, but I noticed the main Tetra I was treating wound up dying. He was super skinny and eventually died. Now the same kind of skinny body is happening to this platy! All...

My balloon molly is 1 of 2 that have been perfectly fine up until today. I’ve had them both for about 2 months and all of a sudden 1 is just laying on the floor.. he sometimes moves if another fish goes by him and that’s about it. I’m scared he might be dying. I changed the water yesterday (50%)...

I appreciate all the info you gave me. As a beginner there’s a lot I’m learning each day with these fish. I’ll definitely keep an eye on them everyday, and do you recommend treating them even if I don’t notice any parasites?

I woke up today and he unfortunately died.. I do not notice any fish scratching against anything. I change my water once a week usually 50%. I’m very upset because I want to do this right, but I’ve been having a few different fish not make it. I’m really hoping this isn’t a parasite because I...

My glofish tetra is one of 4 tetras in my aquarium. It is the only one who is constantly opening and closing its mouth at a fast rate. I will admit I have some platys in here and balloon mollies.. I am new to fish and learned my water needs different fish. They have been surviving just fine...

Ok cool thanks again. Very helpful. I’m new to fish keeping and the forum, so any information helps a ton.

Thanks bud. That really helps. Didn’t want to wait 24 hours like the good ol’ “Google” stated at first LOL.

I will definitely look into more real plants. Only have one at the moment. Thank you

I’ve been using imagitarium water conditioner for my fresh water tank. I’m just curious on how long I should leave the water in my bucket sitting with conditioner, before I add it back to my tank?

What would you recommend I use to increase the hardness? I’m new to this and would like to do this right. Also, thanks for the videos I will watch them all.

Thanks I’ll check that video out. When you say 10 GH, you mean 10 ppm? Because I have about 70-80 Ppm on general hardness as of now

Honestly both would be helpful.

I’ve been curious about some apps for the phone that might help with some general information and such. The few I saw on google were just apps for certain products (which I do not own any of them). Others I have to pay more than I’d like for an app. If anyone knows any good ones LMK. Thanks.

Yes I just got them a few days ago. I did not know they didn’t belong. Will there be major issues? I also have this guy in here, but the 4 I own have been healthy and happy for 6 months now since I got the tank going..

I would like to know what hardness, alkalinity, nitrate and ph levels should be for most livebearer fish? Also what is the avg temperature to keep them comfortable?

I’m not sure what the 444 tests means.. I’m pretty new to all of this.

This is the link to the water supply for my house. http://s1091480.instanturl.net/2020waterreport/pdfs/Distribution%20Area%2012.pdf#zoom=125 I can see the Ph level avg is 7.1 and as for hardness there is only 1 reading unless I’m not seeing it correctly?

Wow thanks that’s a lot of good information that I never knew. I will have to get the water checked then, because I have no idea what the levels are! I’ll come back to this post as soon as I figure out the levels. Appreciate all the tips. Especially how to wake up/put to sleep your fish.

Hi I would just like to know what temperature, times to feed and maybe some things to watch out for. Also can someone explain to me what levels I should aim for? Nitrate, total hardness, total alkalinity and pH levels? I have had my first freshwater tank for 7 months now. It’s a 30 gallon tank...

My names James. This is my first time ever on a fish forum. I was told by my cousin to check one out and post some things to get to know some of y’all. I just got a freshwater tank of my own. I’ve had it for about 7 months now. It’s a 30 gallon tank with a few different tropical fish. I’ve had a...
