Yeah, for the blue pads just switch them out after 30 days. I would leave them in for another week but i could be wrong. shouldn't hurt anything to leave it in though.

@despreauxb If you want to replace a filter, don't just take out the filter and put in a new one. Run the new filter alongside your current Penguin for about 6 weeks then remove the Penguin. But tbh, the penguin will work so i wouldn't replace it.

You do not replace the biowheel. Ever. I would replace the blue cartridge with with some sponge cuz it will save you money see vid: =473372&hash=4bfdcf0540861f3f936598d37d58015f']Attach files

What kind of filter do u have? Tank size? What kind of filter media? Like is it sponge? carbon? If u don't know, please send a pic.

Don't replace your filter cartridge. Thats where a bunch of your beneficial bacteria live.

When I got my first fish, my friend told me that Fish are dumb. Ya know, that old "fish have a 5 second memory" myth. I actually believed it for awhile! 😂

Ok, Thanks. I added the whole bottle. Haha, I knew someone would say that. But people are entitled to their opinions so I'm not gonna say anything.

My LFS says tropical fish food can feed every species of fish...

Wow! That's a nice terrarium!

I bought a bottle of Dr. Tim's Freshwater One and Only and am trying to cycle a tank with it. How much should I dose my new 5 gal tank with the 2 oz bottle? Do I add all of it? The instructions say that it "cannot be overdosed." Does "cannot be overdosed" mean that you can add as much of it...

Not cycled. Will do 50% water changes from every day from now on. Is it safe to just transfer him to the main tank in this condition? if ammonia is the issue, I can do that. I feed him 3 or 4 flakes once a day.

He's in an uncycled 15 gal while i treat for his fins... Ammonia: 0.25 Nirites: 0 Nitrates: 0 50% water changes every other day.

It's gonna be a video. It's gonna be like a summer camp type of deal except its online. (Zoom and youtube videos)

Hi, I have been tasked with preparing a few science experiments for kids in Taiwan. Here are the requirements: 1. Must be able to be done across the world (online) 2. Simple enough for kids around 10 yr. 3. Cheap as possible so organizers can easily obtain materials. 4. FISH THEMED! although it...

May I recommend you put them in a plastic tub/bin? Maybe put some plants and rocks in there. Then later when you get a tank you can transfer your shrimp. Kinda like a quarantine/holding tank for the shrimp.

You could get a cheap automatic fish feeder for 20 bucks

Welcome!

Yeah, its a joke.:) Hope I don't get bashed about it. Sorry if I offended anyone.

Hi, How do I install a long/tall heater that isn't submerged if vertical? Even though directions say not to put it horizontal, could I still do it?

Why? Don't they hurt more? And aren't they more expensive?

Sorry for you loss.

I'm keeping him in a 15 gallon storage container for quarantine right now.

Sorry for the confusion, right now, he is in a 15 gallon storage tote.

@CaptainBarnicles How do I do a 100 percent water change? He is doing better today, he got out from under the filter and is swimming around. Is it safe to feed him?

Could you send a picture?

@StevenF Yes I did. I did not cycle the tank tho because I planned on only having him in there for a couple of weeks while my 5 gal cycles. Its a 15 gal container so I thought that would be better than doing a fish-in cycle in my 5 gal. I planned on watching parameters (test kit arrives...

I have played a couple games with rental guns and such. Once, my squad ran into a squad with higher ground and we took cover. Our squad leader told us to retreat (Which to this day I still think is dumb as we were in good cover behind rocks) As we slid down a slope, which in my mind was pretty...

@CaptainBarnicles @EllRog Is there anything I can do without medications first?

Ok, I was able to get a good picture. It looks pretty bad.

@Utar its difficult to even get the camera to focus, these were the best pictures I got. Btw this is my storage bin container so the box isn't 100% opaque. My profile picture is actually the betta when it was healthy.

So I picked up my betta today and put him in my quarantine tank. My LFS owner said its ok to dump the water with fish into storage container and slowly add new water, and that's what I did. (I was super excited and forgot to ask about it here) I ended up adding a little bit of water first and...

Yes, I have faucets outside (for hoses) that aren't run through the water softener. Is it ok to use that or is it dirty or something?

I would like to use something natural to soften the water. Buying RO/DI, distilled, or collecting rainwater (It rarely rains where I live) is impractical for me.
