This is waaaaaaaay too much. Are you also aware of the clown loach's full grown size? The bala is not a "potential" size. It will either grow to full size or die before it can get there. Remember when stocking by the 1" of fish per gallon rule you need to count the full grown size not...

Sorry folks. These are gallons.

Sorry folks. These are gallons.

In my 125 I currently have: 1 rainbow shark 1 blue three spot gourami 2 angels 10-15 neon/cardinal tetra 5 zebra danio 6 mollies 4 otos I recently moved the danios from my 30 and they couldn't be happier with all the swimming space. In my 30 I currently have 19 tiger barbs. I don't want them...

I had a whole homemade system ready to go and them my local petsmart put the aqueon water changer on sale for 22.50. It was at best a few dollars more and works like a charm. It still works for vacuuming too. The only thing is that it goes much faster if I keep the water on to power the suction...

Yeah that looks nice. Of course that would def be cosmetic only no structural help. But I'm gonna look into that

Are they balloon mollies? Well if they're female then theyre pretty much constantly pregnant

10 gallon is too small for zebra danio. Even though they're small they like lots of swimming room

Sorry I meant NOT that cloudy

I don't guess it's THAT cloudy for there to even be anything to scrape off. It's just not as clear as my other tank.

Maybe I'll try vinegar to see if it's that. I'm honestly not sure. It's not that that bad

I'm leery too. But like at the top it doesn't seem to be just one piece anyone so it doesn't seem to be keeping it together. The floor under it is laminate and would be totally ruined if it burst. A slow leak discovered quickly enough on the other hand could bevrecoverable. Is there any way...

Anyone?

Is there anything I can do polish? Or something the glass. It's real glass. Pretty thick. 125 gallons. There are some chips in the glass at the ends etc that do not leak that I would Aldo like to know if there's something I can fill them with for cosmetic improvement. Also the plastic trim is...

Are You going tO train the fish to swim in synch? BC that would be cool

If u don't have the money for the test kit petsmart will test ur water free. Just a matter of how far it is from you. When u say 5 is a good size for an ultra newbie the problem is that water conditions are harder not easier to control in a big tank just BC anything that happens in a bigger...

What size is the tank?

i was going to the store anyway, so i just brought water along. some things the api kit doesn't have like chlorine etc... and why not calibrate... she wasn't the worst... i guess that's what worries me. if the one's who aren't that bad are giving out such bad advice, what are the others giving...

Wait the faulty test strips were not her fault. That's not the complaint. The comPlaint is that when she thought it was .5 ppm she thought it was no big deal

Dwarf gourami are really cool fish. I'm partial to angels but that doesn't make them a good choice for you.

Forever. Ive checked the FDA guidelines for frozen people food and they are very clear that foods can be frozen indefinitely and still be safe to eat. The guidelines they issue for individual foods are for taste/quality purposes not safety purposes. So since fish taste buds are I'm sure...

That seems good to me. Don't get a pleco. They get huge. Angels potentially feed on neon tetra so I wouldn't get an angel just to "liven things up" U may also want to consider cardinal tetra. Almost identical to neon but I've heard hardier and don't get neon tetra disease. U can get them for $1...

So I went into petsmart today with some water for a test. I have API master kit nut just wanted to check another way. First she told me my ammonia was a little high at .5. But not too bad. I asked her if she knew that was enough to kill fish. Her response was that yes since I have a higher ph...

Ok did this and dosed with rid ich plus by kordon. I saw fungus on one fish last week so I figured there was a better chance with a Protozoa / fungus med than an antibiotic type at this point. I took out the newer carbon filter. Left the really old one in. And added the foam to help create a...

Well the carbon insert has the rough spongy part too but it's attached. I do need some of the soft spongy stuff. Just need to find some that fits

I want to medicate my tank but the filter I have only has an insert with active carbon. I got it secondhand and the other more wooly or spongy part isnt there. If I remove the cartridge I'll lose all my bio. If I keep it I'll lose my meds. Now one cartridge is pretty old, so would that...

So I'm in the US where do I get real meds?

Don't worry. I know I'm not experienced enough for discus.

Just 1000?

Btw, I now know it is a red zebra b/c I saw a full grown red zebra at someone's house today who happens to breed and that's exactly what I have. I am open to getting more? How many would be appropriate? And what tank size? And can I mix them with any other African cichlids?

Yes, and if I told you what I paid you would be more jealous... but... I mean what fish would you put in it. :-)

I'm excited I picked up a 125 us gallon tank with a good price today. I'm open to ideas on what to put in it :-) So, if you had an empty 125 what would you do?

The cremecicle molly died. Everyone else appears fine. I hope it's over.

Fluttermoth, I understand that it can be an issue...but really don't think it's the issue here. The angels, I'm willing to take blame for anyway, b/c i know they are not as hardy, and the 6 hours in the bag would be stressful even though they can be shipped... which means if anything was less...

So, basically when I put these 2 together, I'm reading I know you haven't seen any ammonia spikes, but the cause is ammonia spikes. That doesn't make sense. I test ammonia almost every day. And definitely so since the fish have died. I don't have ammonia spikes--unless it's possible for an...

Well I'm actually up to the total of what I want now so don't really need to add any more. What specifically does adding too many fish in too short a period affect? Can't blame it on a batch of bad fish since I've had the Molly for a while.

But the only media I have in the filter has carbon in it. As of now he died. None of the others seem to have it.

Oh forgot to say the missing angel is nowhere to be found. Unfortunately has to be dead.

Just finished the 80 percent approx water change. With the other air pump that Molly is about 50 percent better. I'm leaning toward low o2 being our cause here. Does this seem reasonable?

The tank in question is a 55. I also have a 30 which now has the tiger barbs and danios. I know it still takes time to cycle new tank with old media but actually the tank isn't new. I just removed all the goldfish and took it to my house and stocked ig tropical. As I say my ammonia has not gone...
