I would add a large almond leaf they will slowly release tannins lowering your ph safely!

I had that before to neon teras are delicate. I would do a 30 percent water change and treat it with aquarium salt and let time do its thing. This guys are fast and will catch other tetras poop and spit it back out which is probably why they get sick easily. These guys thrive in lower ph like...

1.How big is your tank, how many fish do you have? 2.Is your tank cycled? 3.Are you using tap water with conditioner that removes chlorine or filtered drinking water? 4.Did you acclimated them 1st for about 10 to 20 minutes before adding them to the tank and how many fish are you adding?

I could be that they were raised in poor condition or different water parameters. Ph level temperature were they acclimated?

It could be that the substrate wasn't rinsed correctly or you have to much movement in the water with filters and air bubbles. Lower the movement of water so the cloudiness can settle and with time it will go away. You can try products to remove cloudy water. If I were you I would have atleast 3...

Walstad method does not use airstones nor power filters, what you have here is a common method. Once your tank has a month and already cycled then you add the shrimps so not only your tank be some what stable but you have enough bio film to increase the survival of your shrimps. When I waited...

Yes for a 1 to 3 gallons. Blanched veggies twice a week would be fine I do it very rarely. I would pick up any left overs.

Was the tank already cycled? If so are you doing weekly water changes. Your tank is outside or inside and what are the tank temperature.

Ludwigia mini red repens. Yes it would be fine if you follow the depth of substrate, fast growing plants and weekly water changes for the 1st 3 months then if you wish you could just add water without water change.

Yes you can if your going to put plants that float I would make a hole or 2 since to much humidity can kill the floating plants.

An air stone will provide enough oxygen but you may want to control it with a valve. It may produce to much algae if you over feed them. Its one inch per gallon on fish so 2 would be on the safe side. Plants, adding water and water changes provide oxygen especially if your water is from the...

Your tank should be fine by now I would just pay close attention to the fish you buy next time and insure that you get healthier ones and at least medium size fish not to young and delicate and not to old where it will die on you of old age in a few months..Good luck

That does help but when you have ammonia you need to detoxify it so the fish won't stress or die once your tank has no ammonia but you still have nitrates stability can now be used since they also help break down nitrates just not the ammonia.

Depends on the betta itself they may eat your shrimp if they do you want have any left to multiply or they will be hiding all the time. You can keep as many shrimps as you want there can be only so much food to allow them to multiply the rest will die off and the shrimps will have extra to eat...

Vigoro 0.5 cu. ft. Red Lava Rock-100032404 - The Home Depot this is the smallest bag and its only 5 bucks I use some of these as a top soil for outdoor plants instead of mulch.

Let me get this right you have 3 Serpae tetra a one common pleco and the only ones dying are the tiger barbs. Tank is already been cycled and you acclimated them. I could of been stress maybe they were raised in poor condition and were already sick or had a week immune system. While and after...

You may have not completed your cycle or was going through a mini cycle. Let it do its thing dose prime accordingly to your tank size every 2 days if you still have ammonia to detoxify ammonia to ammonium. Add seachem stability every weekly water change I do 10 percent. Add aquarium salt per...

I would add Fritz turbo for bacteria a small bottle that has to be in refrigerator. Let the tank cycle 1st make sure to do at least 10 percent water change every week and once tank has 30 days and already cycled then add shrimps why 30 days so you have enough biofilm for shrimps to survive...

I have 10 Amber tetras, 1 endler fish, 1 assassin snail, pest snails and 15 Cherry shrimps. It's also well planted when I added a airstone even had it controlled to low I had major issues with algae not recommended unless you have way to much fish which you shouldn't.

I have a couple of reasons why I use my hang back filter one is to imitate a slow stream river and the other is a cleaner environment for my aquatic species. My deep gravel, lava rocks, plants and stability by seachem is what controls nitrates for me. I also trim my plants and do weekly water...
