This is my baby Coco. Not sure of his breed. He came up as a stray when he was a tiny baby, less than 1/2 a lb.

It took 3 water changes, 75% each, but levels are back to acceptable parameters. Thankfully, I did not lose any fish. I have have added the bio cylinders to my filtration system. I also have upgraded my system for making water changes. I'm too old to be carrying 5 gallon buckets of water anyway...

Will do, thanks again.

First pic is my male, second is my female.

I am not an expert but I believe you have two males. The females do not have the little indentation near their mouth.

Conditioner is API Water Conditioner. Okay, should I go ahead and save some old tank water to re-prime the pump so as not to soak it with the new?? It has been only about 16 hours since the last water change. Happy about the other numbers but discouraged by the ammonia. Another water change it...

Good morning, I have just tested my aquarium water this morning. Ph - 6.6, was 6.0; Nitites - 0; Nitates - 20ppm; Ammonia is still up at between .50 and 1.0!!! I have done 75% water changes and still cannot seem to get it below .50.ppm. HELP! Another water change??Is there anything else I can...

Thank you! FYI - the clown loach is doing fine after his misadventure onto the carpet night before last.

Good morning, Just wanted to let y'all know that I did a 75% percent water change last night and this morning the ammonia level is .50 ppm. I know that is still not 0 but a huge difference from the original 2.00 ppm. I plan on doing another water change this evening after work. Still 75%??? I...

Okay, will do. And, yes, I do use more of the declor than just the amount of water I am replacing. I was questioned about that also but I don't believe that will hurt the fish or the tank???? Thanks for the responses. Okay, I watched the link you had posted above. What do you think about the...

The filter padding was literally limp and falling apart. My boyfriend seems to think I should be changing all the filtration medium more often but I have been trying to follow the advice of the fish store employees, not talking PetSmart but a dedicated fish store; mostly saltwater but they do...

Yes, I realize the ammonia level is way too high and toxic. I am using the API Freshwater Master Test Kit & API Tap Water Conditioner. Naughts - I don't know how to post it from my phone to Youtube. :( Also, nitrites are 0. It is the nitrates that are off the chart.

Took a video but can’t figure out how to upload. I can be tech challenged. 😕

Thanks for the replies. I did test the water yesterday evening. PH - 6.0, Ammonia - 2.0, Nitrate - seems off the chart to me - red not orange looking, nitrite - 0 The aquarium is a 55 gallon with natural pebble rock, a couple of pieces of wood, artificial plants and some hiding type of rock...

I have a community tank with plates, mollies, a clown loach and angelfish. I did a water change last night and all seemed fine. Tonight the fish are all congregating in the corners of the tank. I mean literally laying on top of each other. Any ideas???
