Well called a different fish store that I have frequented and found out the root of my problem.....so I think I'll be alright, he gave me some suggestions to follow and some things not to do(like keep adding cycle live bacteria) No wonder I was having trouble......well we'll see how it...

Hmmm thanks for the suggestion......I think I might try that and try again

-_- I think I might give up fishkeeping....I have had problems with the tank I have almost from the beginning.......It's a 29gal and have not been able to keep the ammonia down and fish fatality has been high as well. I have one fish left (a parrot<yes I know, bought him without knowing about...

Hmmm well had I known that I prolly wouldnt have bought the guy.........oh well......that is sad that people will do pretty much anything to fish to sell them to unknowing people like myself. I agree with those who dont like the idea of dyeing a fish, why tamper with what God created as...

Well after some failure with livebearers and having started over somewhat on my tank I now have two new members to my tank.....well only members right now......a parrot fish and a silver dollar. Hopefully in my 29gal tank I'll be able to add a couple more fish later, maybe another parrot...

Thanks for the advice everyone.....me and my LFS think we have it narrowed down to some sort of fungus, and since treating with meds and doing a light water change, the fish left seem to be doing alright....We'll see though......thanks again!

No, no plants, well plastic ones, but they dont need much =) and maybe it could be a bacteria of some sort.......cant hurt to try that route

Well the PH is more alkaline........and yes I heat the water and it's maintained a comfy level at about 78 degrees.....I use cycle bacteria in my tank and I do change the water regularly.....as far as keeping any of the fry it doesnt really matter too much at this point.....

Okay, here's the tank background...It's a newer tank started in Dec.....I currently have 1pair of guppies, 1 sword, and 3 platties......I've checked the ammonia in the tank frequently and it's fine, my ph is a little high, but other than that the tank seems to be okay.......well, except my fish...

Thanks for the welcome =) I'm still working on the plants end of the tank.......I've been thinking of using a large sheet of some kind of colored paper, but not sure yet. I had an old tank once that was given to me that had this really neat plastic sheet that had a texture on it that when the...

Hey everyone, I have a 29 gal. tank and I was just wondering what other people have done for a background on their tanks. I would love to hear some suggestions or some creative, unique ideas. I know that a lot of lfs have those static cling backgrounds, but I think they aren't very exciting...

We set it up a couple days before christmas, so I know it's still cycling.......and I've used plenty of ammo-lock already. We were told by our LFS that we could start our tank out with some goldfish for a few days to get it started, but now I'm wondering if that did more harm than good...we dont...

Hello Everyone, It's been a while since I've had a tank and since setting up the one I have now I'm having some issues with it. First I have a 29gal tank, one little plastic plant and my fish include 2 guppies, 2 platties, and 3 swords. Over the past week and a half the ammonia keeps...
