I believe the cyano killed off my cories.

PH: 7.4
Amm: 0
Nitrites: 0
Nitrates: 10

I noticed my cories would not swim towards the front of the tank where most of the cyano was. A week...

Awesome. I'll check this out. I do tend to feed too much so I will cut back. I try to clean the gravel half one week and the other half the next.

Oh no. Is it a threat to fish. I'm now wondering how my cories will handle being around it all the time.

Ok. I've been removing decor once per month and soaking it in bleach. The gravel around the decor is usually what is green. What ever was under the decor is still new looking. I guess I'll just...

Should I remove the greenish gravel and bleach it? It doesn't seem to bother the fish, it just looks unsightly.

Now that my tank has been established for about 5 months now I'm noticing that alot of my gravel is turning a greenish algae color. It was brown but now about 25% of it is brownish green. I vacuum...

I purchased a balloon ram 2 months ago. He's my fav fish in my tank. Very personal. The other fish always swim around him like he's the leader. He's always the first to take a bit out of a new...

Well after 48 hours it seems I may have added the dechlorinator anyway. I checked the water again and I have 0 Ammonia and 0 NitrItes so I think I'm safe. He's still as crazy as ever hunting snails...

No, I have city water. Also a guy...haha.

Well today my puffer seemed his normal self. I may have added the stress coat, it's just I didn't remember. It becomes such habit that sometimes I forget that I end up double dosing. Wouldn't the...

Yesterday I was doing a partial water change in my 15 gallon brackish tank. I took out 5 gallons and replaced 5. Before I went to bed (about 10 hours after the PWC I couldn't remember if I added the...

+1 to the pool filter sand. I got mine from Namco. $5 for a 50lb bag. Pretty clean too. Only rinsed it for about 10 mins.

Figure 8 Puffer.

Unfortunately this is a cube tank and only 20 inches long. That is why I only have 4 cories. I did pick up two more red eyes just now. I'll hold that stock for a few days and pick up 2 more. I...

Can anybody recommend some fish I can stock in my 27 gallon?

As of now I have:

4 cories
8 Red Eye Tetras
1 Balloon Ram
1 Bolivian Ram
3 neons

I have a figure 8 puffer. I feed him a snail every other day and he gets thawed bloodworms every day. It's good to soak the bloodworms in Vitachem. Also get a 5 gallon bucket and throw a sponge...

Being a new puffer owner, I would also like this!

Just an update on this tank. It was fully cycled. I was just adding too much ammonia. That and the filter taking a weekend off because of a power outage cause this to take longer than usual. It's...

I did my weekly water change today and the Red Eyes came out a bit more. They still jet toward the back as soon as they see the slightest bit of movement. I turned the Aqua Clear filter down a bit...

Any recommendation? I've created so many hiding spots in the tank I don't see how they can be stressed? Water parameters are 0 Amm 0 NitrItes 20 NitrAtes. They do come out at feeding time with a...

Hi all,

My stock is currently 4 cories, 4 neon tetras, 2 rams, & 8 Red Eye Tetras. For some reason all my red eye's always hide. I see them come out but they go right back into hiding if someone...

OK LH. I just added .5ppm. Thanks again. Its been 4 weeks and getting annoying. Wish I didnt have that power outage.

OK LH. I just did a 90% change before I read your post. Should I still add .5ppm ammonia even though I did the change?

I've been adding .5ppm ammonia. After 12 hours I'm at 0 Ammonia but .5ppm NitrItes. This has happened the last two days. After 24 hours I'm at 0/0. I'm going to do another 90% and just add the...

Well I added .5ppm ammonia last night and I'm at 0 Ammonia and 0 NitrItes. I'm at 40ppm on NitrAtes. I"m going to do a large change right now and add .5 again. If I'm clear tonight I'm guessing...
