Still no signs of the 2 Neons that have disappeared. My best guess is they died then got eaten. Just would have thought I would have seen some part of it still laying around. Thanks for all the imput :)

There is defiantly no full fish in the tank. I have looked under the rocks, around the plants. It's not in the filter. I have looked around the outside of the tank, on the floor. Just no sign of them. If there are pieces left of the fish still in the tank, they are hidden really well.

I am really puzzled on this ... I am looking for any ideas on what could be happening. I have a 14 gal tank. I had a little Emerald Corey in it, and got 5 Neon’s. All was going well, the water was staying stable, so I got 2 more neon’s for a total of 7, after a day or two I noticed only 6...

We were in at Skeeters today and picked up a 29 gal and a stand. We also picked up some gravel and a pump for our 14 gal tank. I don't think this was just for us cause we were getting a lot of things but we were told they were having a sale the rest of this week. Everything in the store 25% off...

Skeeters has a lot of different plants for sale. You may want to check them out if you are planning on getting some plants. We were in talking to the owner of Skeeters today. He seems to be very knowledgeable. He said he has been working with fish for 40 years or so. He showed us the room they...

Well, I wouldn't ask the people in the pet shop in the mall any questions about fish. The woman I was talking to in there was very rude and wouldn't even let us explain the cycle. We had bought a Java fern from the shop in the mall. When I tested the water the ph was very low and the Nitrate was...

Very small world .... Me too :blink:

Oh wow ... So am I. Guess the world isn't so big B) What town are you in?

It didn't really surprise me that pet stores in my area don't know about the fishless cycle. We are in a small town in Nova Scotia, Canada. Our area seems to take a few years to catch up on what the rest of the world is doing. But what really surprised me was the fact she wouldn't even let us...

I went hunting for some good ammonia today. I was starting to wonder if I would find any. Most places I checked no longer carried it. I finally found some at a hardware store. On the bottle is says contains no phosphates or fragrances. If I put some in a glass and shake it really good. There...

Well ... I got it from Wal-Mart. It doesn't list any ingredients, It just says Household Ammonia. If I put some in a glass and shake it really good I will get about a 1/4 of an inch, maybe a little less of foam. I am guessing there is a little of something else in it.

I am currently doing the "Fishless Cycle" on a small 5.5 gal tank. The cycle seems to be going pretty good. I had the ammonia spike to 6ppm or higher and now the Nitrite and Nitrate are spiking and the ammonia is 0ppm now. So it seems to be going good. But my question is.... I believe the...
