That is interesting. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Really? Is your well water treated with anything? Yeahhh I’m working on getting the situation figured out. I’m just mostly concerned about finding safe water for my fish. Do you use a water conditioner with your tanks?

My own drinking water will be bottled/ filtered water from the store, which I can buy and use for my tank if I have to. No idea as to the salinity. My water test kit comes in the mail this week and I can test it and see. Thanks for the brand recommendation!

Need some advice. I was using RO drinking water for my tanks until today the land lord decided to get rid of the RO system. What water conditioner is best to make salt and chlorine treated well water safe for my freshwater aquarium?

Okay thanks!

Oh! Really? So it could be normal? Oh wow! That is interesting.

Yes, I rinsed it with tank safe water. The Platties are all fine. No, I had room to have my usual carbon filter and the new ceramic rings. I am eventually going to stop using the carbon and use a sponge though. My friend is sensing me a water test kit so I can test my water. As soon as it...

Does anyone know why my Bristlenose is swimming upside down? Haven’t changed anything except I started to add ceramic rings in my filter canister along with carbon filter. Could the ceramic cause this?

I would really like to add some live plants to my tank. I have heard that some plants require CO2 and I do NOT want to have to mess with that right now. What are some good easy, recommended plants? I have Platties and a Bristlenose Pleco.

❤️ He looks so happy in his new clean home. Glad itis working out for everyone.

Wow I am so thankful you rescued him!!

Hello and welcome to Fishlore!

Probably my plain spotted Plecostamus. He lived for years and never had any issues.

Hmm okay, thanks for the wood tips. I will have to find her some nice wood.

Okay, that makes sense. I will have to find her a piece of wood. My friend told me that I need to boil the wood before putting it in the tank. How long do I need to boil it for? I think mine has tiny nubs. I didn’t realize they were whiskers either.
