Ah, okay. Thanks for explaining that guys. Amazingly, she is still alive! And she isn't doing the vertical float of death anymore either. She seems to be on the road to recovery, but you never can tell really. I have been doing everything I can for her. Changing out 10% of her water each day to...

She is still alive as of now. And I can tell she's slightly less stressed, she swims around in her solo tank for periods of time. But she will go back to staying in one spot and I'm starting to worry for her. I don't see how ammonia is the problem here. I have checked the ammonia levels of both...

Alright, here's an update. I went out immediately and bought a small 1.5 gallon cube tank just for her. I came back, and she's moving around still (to get away from the males xD) I have a her in a holding dish with the water from the 20gallon tank I have. I assembled the 1.5g tank and the filter...

Okay, she's now in the corner of the tank, and starting to float more vertical if she stays there for a while. I will try to find one of these nets, but I was wondering if putting some stress coat in there would work if I can't find the net at the moment.

Also, here are the levels of everything. Ammonia: About .25 Nitrate : Between 0 and 20 Nitrite: 0 Hardness: About 75 Alkalinity: Between 80 and 120 pH: 7.2

Hey everyone, I have a question concerning my female platy that just gave birth about 3 weeks ago. I have a 20 gallon tank with 5 platies (1 female hifin platy, 4 different male platies), 4 neon tetras, 1 Julie Catfish, and 3 happy baby platies that just got big enough to swim around freely in...

Hey this is just a quick question. I have a Japanese Algae Eating Shrimp and I was looking through the tank just to do a quick check today and noticed something. It looked like the molt from the shrimp was floating around in the tank. So, after taking it out, I looked to see if I could find him...

okay thank you so much for the help. i will do this for a couple days or weeks and keep you posted on the results.

okay so what is the best way to solve the problem now? i have the shrimp still and he seems to be doing fine. how often should i treat the water for everything? should i put the ph and ammonia corrector in and how often? should i just let the water keep cycling or change it? how long should...

Once I change the water, what's gonna be different though? If I take all the water out and put new water in, that's still just a bunch of new water that has the potential to do the same things. I put Correct pH and Ammonia Clear tablets in the tank just now. It seems that the alkaline and the...

Since all of this happened very late at night, I couldn't do anything about it and most of my fish died overnight. I only have the shrimp, I think the snail (can't tell if he's dead), and the catfish which looks like he's going to die too. I'm going to go buy some test kits for the tank today to...

I can't answer some of these because I don't have the testing kits. But here's what I can answer Tank size: 20 gallon tank temp: 80 degrees F Symptoms: Laying on Bottom of tank before dying. Not eating. Not much movement around the tank. I usually change out around 2/3 of the tank water...

No I didn't use any soap while cleaning out the tank on anything. I completely wiped out all the old gravel and put all new fresh gravel in after I wiped the sides down with a wet cloth. Another fish has died since I've posted this. I now have a shrimp, a snail, a platy, a testra, a catfish...

I have a 20 gallon freshwater tropical fish aquarium in my room. It's been there for about 10 months and I've not had any problems that are as bad as this one. I have had the same gravel, blue and green, in the tank for the entire time I've had it. But today, I decided I wanted a change in color...
