Theres some type of thing on my glass. It seems like it may be alive, but I never added anything to my tank, like a tiny slug snail type thing? is this possible? it's a guppy tank and I've had it running since June. I just realized this. Yesterday saw it and tried getting it off with a scrub bad...

no under ground filter. just a regular bio wheel filter outside.... I also feel not syphoning the gravel each time did me in. I'm hoping I can get water good before Sunday and then I'm going to a fish show to get some new stock maybe. Cause this stock is most likely done for. :( goin to store...

OH boy. Guppies. And I already flushed him. When doign water changes I didn't always vacum the gravel. That was a huge mistake I made, and I think that's why my cycle never finished. Due to poor water quality my fish started getting dropsy. I have babies now, but I have no idea what I should do...

no this guy worked at a strictly fish store for years, I know him from the other place. He usually knows his stuff. Would adding salt affect anything? I have the drop tests.... I don't get the not having Nitrite thing, but after a month he said the bacteria are there.. It's just the ammonia...

The pet store guy says my tank is cycled, it's just being funny with the tests. My tank has been running for 4 weeks now. first week had 4 danios, now it's got 3 the last 3 weeks. after the first week the one danio jumped out of the tank and died. anyway in a week he said I should be good to go...

I have no idea, I'm going to go to pet store and ask the one main guy I've been talking too. Damn it, I knew this cycling would be a hassle again, before i never got it done right and all my fish winded up dying. I have a 10 gallon hex, with a bio wheel filter.

My tank is a month old on friday, i have 3 danios cycling it. I was going to do fishless, but got too nervous and did the old route. My ammonia is at .25- . 50 and my nitrites are at 0 while my nitrates are at 5.0 is this normal? i did a 10 % water change at week 3 cause pet store guy said too...
