    The tank has been set up for about 5 weeks, I used the filter from my established tank and some of the water as well as some decor. I used the fungus clear tablets that dye the water blue, this med also works for bacterial infections. We got the tablets at Walmart because it's the only place...

    Measurable Ammonia In Freshwater Tank

    My fish had ick and I treated the tank, now the ammonia is measurable. I did a 25% water change last night and I'll do another tonight. Is there any product that will reduce ammonia, or should I do a larger water change tonight?

    Feeding Fish

    I think feeding fish twice a day is too much. They say the fish's eye is the size of it's stomach and to feed less rather than more. Fish don't stuff themselves in the wild and they don't eat large amounts of food all at once either. They would eat and eat and eat if you let them, so I don't...
