So I added another handful of crushed coral to the tank and did a 50% water change, and then tested the water the next day and it was 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 5 nitrates, 7.0 pH. I added ammonia to 3.0ppm and then left it overnight, i tested it again this morning and it was 2.0 ammonia, 0.25...
So I know that this is how java ferns create new plants, but my question was do the new plants detach and fall to the ground or do they just continue to grow upwards from the main plants? Thanks!
The tank has been running for 3 months now, this problem has been happening for 1 month
I added a handful of the coral in the filter, i have not tried adding more yet
Im using Dr Tims Aquatics Ammonium Chloride Solution
The pH of the water source is 7.2
I have done one water change after the...
So I have a cycling 5 gal tank and im kinda at a loss as to what to do now, everything was going fine in the cycle for a while and when it got to the point where it was 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 5 nitrates then the pH dropped to 6.0 and now it just wont process any ammonia and if it does it is very...
In case anyone was curious the vets said they havent completed her necropsy yet but they said it looks like she died of something natural (such as cancer, an organ deformity, etc.), a genetic disease/problem, a virus, or a combination of them. So i know it wasnt my fault, but I still miss her...
I got her from a pet store near my house, but im not getting another tortoise. Maybe another reptile someday (i doubt it) but 100% not a tortoise. Thank you though
If i somehow change my mind, i know for a fact that im never getting another russian tortoise. They look too similar it would feel...
Again thank you all, even though she died you convinced me to go to the vet, and that was the best I could’ve done for her. I loved her and gave her a good life-not the best she could’ve had for sure, but the best life I could-and i will love her into the afterlife. If you guys want i can tell...
She’s dead
Thank you all, you did all you could to help me. And i know the doctors did all they could too.
But shes dead my baby is dead she was my best friend and always will be but shes dead theres now way she cant be she was alive just a few hours ago but shes dead
Also does your water have tannins in it? I would recommend buying some Indian Almond Leaves online and throwing them in your tank for your betta. Your pH is also a little too high, the tannins should help bring it down too. (Your pH is ok, its just that bettas prefer a pH of 6.5-7.0)
Okay good morning (or evening or afternoon depending where you are) everyone! Good news, the vet didn’t call overnight and they said no news is good news, so hopefully everything is going okay!
I still have no idea what fungus she would have i feel bad did i do something wrong what did i do wrong
By the description of it I’m thinking he has a open wound with a fungus growing on it since you mentioned the cottony white area. You said his behavior hadn't changed at all, so what about his color? Is he paler? Is the white cottony fungus just on the wound or in other places? What size is his...
Okay, and once again thank you all, I probably would’ve been freaking out too much to even bring her to the vet without you! Thank you so much! (And i know they’re not here but thank you to the vets that are staying late to treat her!)
Also btw guys just an update, she is officially staying the night and they said they will call if anything bad happens
I think if theres any chance of her living its the best with them since tufts is the best veterinary university like ever
That makes more sense lol
And thanks
Okay update: SHE STILL HAS A HEART RATE OMG but apparently shes very pale and she has to get x rays shes certainly not in a great place right now they said and that it could go either way and that she may pull through or die overnight but that tortoises at...
Thank you all for everything you’ve done and all the advice. I’m outside the emergency vet waiting for them to give an update on her. I’m hoping she doesn’t die while waiting for the doctor, they just brought her inside just now and said they’re pretty busy. I know even if she dies i did all i...
It wont let me set up an account it said the account resembles spam
I feel like im gonna throw up my baby is gonna die i love her
Ok i found an emergency vet near me im about to head there
Please pray for her i need my baby to live i dont even know if shes still alive
Theres only emergency vets in rhode island and i cant even go there because coronavirus. Im like 99% sure she wont make it through the night. If this is an overdose of vitamin d3 i dont even know how im gonna handle it, because its my fault.
