Yesterday I had .50ppm ammonia and 0.25 ppm nitrite and 20 ppm nitrate I added 6 drops of dr Tim’s ammonia and this is my results today. I’m not sure what cycled looks like but I see zero ammonia and zero nitrite but nitrate looks to be very low also. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I may have messed up. I bought a 3 gallon tank that come with black gravel. I have started my cycle fishless and have began to see nitrites. IF i add a substrate to it now will it mess up my cycle? I have read i should use something like Flourite or something of the sort. I dont want to restart...

a little tip I live in Louisiana so mosquito are very easy to come by. What I do is take bucket (5 gallon or whatever I can find). I dose the water with Prime, I then take a hand full of grass clippings and put that into a empty media bag. You will get mosquito larvae in time, but the way I have...

I did, and maybe I missed it, but what I found there was all Gel type food? I will have another look.

Just curious how many of yall feed home made pellet or flake? I don't want to do frozen or gelatin. I prefer flake or pellet type food. I have watched some videos on youtube, but curious how many here actually do it? I would like to gain some recipes , and procedures! Looking forward to the feedback

Hard to tell by the pictures. Typically I look for the females "Squaring off" meaning their bellies look more squared than round, and you can observe this best if you are looking at the back of them. Once they square off in pregnancy its usually within the week or less that fry will come along...

Bettas are very aggressive. If you were to do this . I would do a few things to minimize the casualties so to say lol. 1. I would not put them in with all of my shrimp because you may have to start entirely over. 2. I would put lots of grass and structure for shrimp to take cover. 3. You're...

Looks great. Is there a female in there with him?

Hey dark. I’ll take some guppy grass and Xmas or java moss if you have any left.

If it aint broke don't fix it ! I agree, and 2-3 guppies in 55 you have a large volume of water to prolong water changes in new tanks

Remember you can dose up to 5 times with prime. This will take some of the stress off of your fish. Dose for ammonia and Nitrite combined up to 5 times although I would recommend 2 times then do a 50 % water change. Remember it buffers 1ppm. This will help the ammonia build up to push along the...

Agreed looks like a yellow cobra to me!

Richie, thanks for all of this info. When I am ready to organize and set up for my shrimp I will definitely be messaging you. Thank you!

No problem. Good Luck I look forward to seeing some pictures soon!

Bettas are a very hardy fish. You can put them in 1 gallon and they will be fine as long as you do more frequent water changes. Betta like more shallow type water because they swim to the top for air. 2-3 gallon is very sufficient for a Betta contrary to what many may say. If you have the space...

Sorry maybe I rambled on a bit which I am known to do. I will try to make this simple of the likeliest probability. You have 2 dark red shrimp that produced a bunch of not so great colored shrimp. The percent is low in reproducing what you are seeking (dark red) which tells me one thing their...

Great looking set ups. And even greater looking black bees! How many shrimp can you keep in a tank of that size? Yes I already do this so not an issue. What do you remineralize with? Also what substrate is the black bee's on?

Do you still have some guppy grass? Java Moss? I know earlier you said moss was gone, but maybe it hit a growth lol

Richie wow that is some great information. I may wait a bit to get some shrimp. I will likely start with Neo's and buy larger shrimp about 2 dozen and introduce to guppy tank. I will start cycling some tanks for Caridina only for a few months. I am definitely interested in the breeding aspect of...
