Hi guys, I have a 29 gallon tank with 4 zebra danios, 3 emerald catfish, a pleco, and one blue gourami. I recently went on vacation in europe for 17 days, and I had one of my roommates, who has kept fish in the past, feed them for me while I was gone. All seems to be well, except that I've...

Hi guys. I recently added 2 blue dwarf gouramis to my 29 gallon. They are real eyecatchers, but I'm not sure when I should feed them. I currently am using Aqueon floating tropical fish flakes which are supposedly supposed to help maintain color,and bloodworms. I also use sinking wafers, but...

Thanks. Yeah these guys gobble up the flakes. I was surprised at how fast they do it. They don't seem to bother with the sinking wafers that the other fish eat.

Hi guys, I got 4 Zebra Danios yesterday to add to my 29 gallon tank. How much should I feed these little guys? The food I have says to only feed them enough that they will finish in 3 minutes. I didn't feed them yesterday since it was their first day in, but when I fed them today they...

Hi. I have a tetra whisper power filter 30 in my 29 gallon tank, which is currently close to being finished with the nitrogen cycle. I've read a lot of different things about when and how to change the filter bag or clean it, but I'm a little scared to do so because I heard you can erase your...

Nitrite readings are zero... I will up the water changes to 50% and continue to test daily. Thanks for your advice.

Yeah I've started to change the water more, since the ammonia is around .5ppm right now. Doing a 5 gallon change daily for the last few days, until the ammonia goes down

Hey guys. I have three emerald green corys in my 29g tank. I am new to the hobby, and was told by my local Petco that I wouldn't need to go through the cycling process, and thus added these fish to my tank a few days after setting it up. I added those fish about three weeks ago. I have since...

Update: I picked up the API test kit today and tested the water. Ammonia was a little over .25ppm, so I conducted about a 40% water change today. Fish seem to be doing well still. I will test again sometime tomorrow. Thanks again

Hi guys. I have a 29g tank in which I am currently going through the nitrogen cycle with with a few fish in there. I am curious about plants, because I have heard they are very good for your aquarium as long as you clear out dead ones quickly, but I have also heard that they can be more...

Thanks a lot waterdrop. I actually will have time tomorrow to pick up a liquid test kit. Is there a brand you would recommend? Should I get the master kit? In the meantime I'm going to get some water ready to change out tomorrow. My fish appear to be doing ok... Still pretty active, and...

Will do. Thanks for the heads up

Thanks for your reply. I had heard of cycling, but had heard a lot of different things. I set up the tank and filled it three weeks ago, put the corys in two weeks ago, then got the pleco 4 days ago. The people at petco said I wouldn't need to do the entire nitrogen cycle, but because of that...
