I pick up anything that isn't glued down and vacuum under and around it. I steer clear of the live plants, they use the mulm for food. The driftwood...

Yes, leave the shrimp until the numbers are 0 for ammonia and nitrite and there are some nitrates. Don't change out the shrimp or you have to wait...

The API ammonia test does not distinguish between ammonia and ammonium. But the tests are still good enough for hobby level needs.

That depends on the betta, some will accept tank mates and others not. Your tank does have room to add a betta if he is willing. However, I would...

I agree with Scotty on the diagnosis but would up the water changes to two or three a week. Clean water is your fishes best friend.

Are you sure you are doing the test correctly. If there is 0 nitrates in the tap and you change water the nitrates would be diluted and it would show...

Again this is only my opinion but I would go with a larger school of harlies over two smaller schools. It's your tank and there is nothing wrong with...

Once you get rid of the buenos aires you should increase the numbers of the kuhli loaches. A nice group of black phantom tetra would work in place of...

In my opinion, a 29g is not big enough for a proper sized group of buenos aires tetra. They get almost 3 inches long and are extremely active fish. I...

Don't pull up the plants, just vacuum around them carefully. You shouldn't need to vacuum where the plants are because they will use the mulm, just...
