I have a 10G with 3 pairs of various types of Danio. I've been thinking of getting a male Dwarf Gourami, would the Danios bother him too much? Or should I even try it at all?

Alright, so I added them too early or too late. So will regular water changes help balance everything out? I only have 4 inches of fish in there, not even half of a full bio-load. I read earlier tonight that nitrites are the waste product of the good bacteria eating ammonia. Now do I just have...

*bump* Any ideas at all anyone?

What in the world is my water doing? :huh: I'm cycling a planted 10 gallon tank and my nitrites haven't been going down the way I'd like them to. The plants were the first things to go in. Crystal Val, Duckweed and Amazon Swords. I've added small amounts of bacteria starter to the water with...

Hey guys! I'm Velvet AciD, I ran across this forum while surfing my home fish forum. Hmm.. *looks about* I like this layout alot better! Anyway, my specialties in the hobby are Dwarf Gouramis, Bettas and plants (algae, lol). I have a small obsession with cichlid shell-dwellers too. I have a...

OR! You could have a small planted tank with an Oto and a few male guppies.. Keeping a planted tank really isn't all that hard, as long as you don't over do it with the fertilizers. :thumbs: It's much more relaxing to see *real* plants move about and how the fish interact towards them.

Hi, I've been cycling for about 3 weeks. I just added a few Danios a week ago. I've read/heard that as soon as nitrites start to peak do a water change and all of the water parameters would strighten themselves out. At the moment, my tank is at 3ppm nitrites, 20ppm nitrates. How far do I let...

Well, after asking at a few LFS I found out that the little 'worm' was actually a type of planaria. And that I must have had an excess of nutrients and left-over food (where? lol). The majority of them suggested a good siphoning and daily water changes. Just an update if any others were wondering.

Last night while I was doing water tests/rearranging all of a sudden this little worm (parasite?) looking thing was swimming about! It was a .5" long, white, and it looked like it's oval head was a little bit thicker than the rest of it's body, about a hair-width. The body however was moving...

Thanks guys! Water changes it is.. I just hope I don't get a spike. :crazy:

I've been cycling a 10 gallon tank for about 2 weeks with a Japanese Trapdoor Snail and a Betta Splendens. Recently, my Nitrate went up to 20 ppm and my Nitrite went up to 1.0 ppm. Is now the time to do a large water change? Or should I let it get up to a certain point? I have already moved...

I recently bought a few Rangeri swords completely forgetting Flourite and I was wondering if they would last with just a healthy dose of liquid fertilizer once a week until I can get some proper substrate. Yes, no? And why? I'm in a bit of a pickle. I have a black sand/gravel mix substrate...
