I have a gravel vac and I clean the gravel every week. The window is pretty far away too. I mean, I could up the frequency of the gravel cleanings? Would they help?

Hello everyone! I have a 36 gallon tank that I currently can’t see through because of pea soup green algae. I have tried everything; I got a new more powerful filter, used polishing pads, done regular and drastic water changes, and the problem still persists. I’ve had the tank running for a year...

My cories like to school with my silver tip tetras. I’m not sure about the pygmies but if you like the look of the tetras than it’s something to consider.

I’m not sure about German blue rams, but my bolivian rams are doing great with pretty hard Water. I’ve also hear gbr are super sensitive, so I’m not sure how they would do in your tank.

Have you considered honey Gourami’s? They are very peaceful and you could probably have one or two in that size tank. Very colorful and vibrant.

Ok thanks everyone! They seem to be ignoring each other as of now and the new smaller one is a bit more at home. I’ll continue to watch them but thanks for your help.

I agree, maybe just fast her for a few days. I love your tank by the way!

Hello everyone! I have a 40 gallon tank that has been running for about 6 months. I have one bolivian ram I got about 4-5 months ago that I believe is male. (He lifts his black part of his top fin a lot and chases other fish away occasionally) Anyway, a few days ago I went to the store and got...

Hello! After 6 weeks my tank is finally cycled so I’m including some pictures. I went to the store yesterday and I have 12 silver tip tetras and 6 corydoras. Everybody is doing great and getting along. I wanted to get a pair of Bolivian rams but am also considering getting another small school...

Thank you so much! I love it!

Alright thank you!

So should I just keep adding ammonia so it stays at 1 ppm? Also do I need to keep doing lots of eater changes because my nitrates or so high? Sorry for all the questions

Hello everyone! I have been cycling my 36 gal tank since the 9th and I’m pretty sure I’m almost done. I have a few questions of what I should do because I’ve been looking everywhere but can’t seem to find any answers. So my ammonia is at 1 ppm and I keep adding a little bit to keep it there (it...

Thank you so much this was very helpful. The only problem is my Ammonia is super high, like very high. Is this a problem since I started the cycle yesterday and the bacteria haven’t had a chance to grow yet? Will the plants be okay? It’s at 6 ppm.

No, am I supposed to? That would make so much sense! Sorry I just got the API test kit I usually use another one. Thank you so much!
