Ok thanks! Will update if his fins get worse!

Okay, i dont have any so good! Just wanted to check, thanks! How can i tell when there’s improvement and when to stop?

Okay, thanks! I assume that his fins wont grow back quickly, and theyre so small its difficult to see if they are or are not getting any smaller, so how will i tell if theres improvement? And will the amount of water changes stress out my other fish?

I change around 50%, how much should i change every other day?

Yes, ive heard its not that good, but i bought it before i knew that and its almost empty anyways so im mostly just waiting for the last bit to run out, but thanks! Okay, thanks, is it ok that his fins have shrunk since though? Did the photo of him right after the fall upload? Thanks again...

So about a month ago my cory jumped out of the tank during a water change, and i still am not sure how but his fins got caught on something on the way to the floor and tore. I put him back in the tank immediately and he was fine, but with much smaller fins. His fins have now gotten even smaller...

Ok thanks for the help with the ivy guys, and here are the photos asked for of the second one: .

Okay, thanks for your help!!!

Hi, I picked up these plants at trader joes the other day and the tags very helpfully were labeled “SPECIES: foliage” Could anyone identify them? Im pretty sure the first one is an ivy, but I dont know what kind. The second one, I know what it is but I cant remember the name so not very helpful...

Sorry, I tried to upload pictures, did they not show up? Let me try again here It is the actual root that is spongy, its spongier than the actual cactus I cant be sure its not rotten, but it doesn’t look rotten to me at all I usually soak the soil and then wait until it’s completely dry to...

Hi, this cactus ive had for a few tears and i was repotting it and i noticed the root was kind of squishy, not like rotten and i can put my finger through it, but sort of like one of those foam squishy things, but a bit more firm. I dont know if this is normal, and i didnt see any clearly rotten...

Okay, thank you!

Before adding a fish, should i do a water change to vacuum the decomposed fish food out of the gravel? Or just leave it?

Im using API Freshwater Master Test Kit. It could just be because i have some live plants, since ive heard they soak up the nitrates, could be wrong though. Also if it seems like an odd number, it isnt one of the listed numbers but the color was in between the 0 and 5, being closer to the 0 but...

Okay, added to 1ppm yesterday, and tested today and it was pH 6.8, ammonia 0, nitrites 0, nitrates1.0. Does that mean its cycled? should i do it again to make sure?

Okay, thanks!

Hi, so i have been adding fish food daily, and starting about a week ago the parameters are pH 7.2, ammonia 0, nitrites 0, nitrates 1.0. Does this mean its cycled? Should i add liquid ammonia to check?

Okay, thanks! Ill update in two weeks :.)

Yes, i have another thank that ive had for about a year and has some fish, i was using it for reference that im adding the fertilizer for plants and the quick start for consistency and that it cant hurt, and the water conditioner for obvious reasons Okay, ill do that! Thank you! You sure I...

Just tap water, with water conditioner obv, i also add leaf zone API fertilizer (im using it up until i can get a better one), and API quick start, both at half of the recommended dose (i do that with most my tanks). That wouldn’t affect it, would it? I also still have the crushed coral in the...
