Aww, so cute! Congratulations:)

I have a couple of questions- You said What kind of ammonia remover did you add that you have to wash off? Did you add established media or a starter(Safe Start/ One and Only etc) to your tank? Are you adding an ammonia source? Are you testing the water for ammonia, nitrites and nitrates...

I work 12 hours 7A- 7:30P and like to see the tank when I get home, so I have my lights come on about 3P and off at 10P. They are in a room with windows so they get ambient light during the day. In my opinion, it is whatever works best for you. They are only lights, you can always change the...

Welcome!

I feed mine like that, on the days I work, without a problem. Forgot to say, I always feed in the same place(across the front of the tank) so they know where to look

I did a 50% water change which brought my ammonia down to almost 0, nitrItes to about 2 and nitrAtes to a little less than 80. I dosed the ammonia back up to 2ppm. I think I'll just monitor and see what it does for the next few days. Thank you so much for your advice, I really do appreciate...

It currently has 7 Tetras, 4 danios and 3 guppies. I lost several fish right after I purchased them and then a few in the last few months from unrelated causes. I wasn't in any huge hurry so, I took the sponges from the smaller "backup" filter and thought I would save the $20+, I would have...

Great, thanks!

Friday they were 60. I worked late Sat and didn't check anything so last night when I got home I had a reading of 80+ . I double checked this morning, with the same results

I work 12 hours too, and have my lights come on later in the day and go off later at night. My fish don't mind

Hi, yet another cycling question - On Jan 1st I started a fishless cycle on a 10 gallon tank, to use as a quarantine tank ( I want to replace some Nerites and a few fish that have been lost over time). I'm using Dr Tim's and added some sponges from a cycled filter to kick start the process...

You can. Sorry, I couldn't remember the name of the apI product. Use the dechlorinator from here on out, with water changes, but I don't think it set you back much in the very beginning; you didn't have any bacteria to kill and the chlorine would have dissipated after a day or two. If you...

If you are already using Dr Tim's ammonium, you do not need the fish food. Just keep dosing with the ammonium when your ammonia level gets to around zero. When the tank is cycling your 4 ppm ( or whatever you choose, depending on the fish load you desire) in 24 hours, you have no nitrITES and...

Not for Christmas. But for New Year I'm going to get some Nerites and try some more plants. Maybe 2020 will be the year I can keep an Anubias alive

HI and welcome!

No problem and thank you. Happy Thanksgiving!

Sorry it took a while to get back, the homework my daughter said was a couple of questions she could answer by herself, turned out to be 4 pages - that she couldn't. Years ago, I had a Betta in a 5.5 gallon tank and did the standard 20-30% weekly water changes. Everything was fine, until I went...

NO I get a string on a stick and catch furry cat fish I'll think about it but, I've been doing large water changes for years without a problem. Parameters stay stable and you only bother the fish once a week

Thanks, that's my thought too. I'm just not familiar with treating sick fish These days its usually sick cats and dog
