I was going to ask a similar question, but I've got my answer now. Thanks OP!

So this is a Diamond tetra that I have had for about 4 weeks. He has a white compact yet fluffy...

Rats. Still too soon, eh? How much longer should I wait do you think?

I have a 77g tank with the following:

Fluval G6 filter
Fluval 405 filter
real driftwood
16 diamond tetras
16 bloodfin tetras
8 (soon hopefully to be 18+) glowlight tetras

My next fish that...

He's gorgeous! Enjoy him!

I am so sorry for your loss :scry:

Since you have tetras I will also recommend the no salt route.

From what I have read, SA tetras come from areas where there is so little salt as to be none in their water (less than is measurable...

We added the Parasite Guard last night, and it seemed today that Les the Diamond was turning around today. However, I think he just had too much damage, he wasn't eating well, and his illness took...

Thanks Lady Hobbs. I don't know how I missed it on Big Al's site. I will definitely put in an order for later use, and use the Tetra brand to get things under control right now. Actually, it was...

I am up in Northern Canada. I have tried looking for a Canadian distributor but they all ship from the States. Getting stuff over the border can take a while (3 weeks is not uncommon), and I want...

We've been keeping very clean tanks. Amm<0.25, trites = 0, and trates between 5 and 20 before water changes, in all our tanks; large PWC>%50 weekly with matured and chemically filtered water (if you...

Thanks homemadepopcorn. I was planning on de-worming the whole tank when we finally had all our fish acclimatized, but I'll move that up.

I'm so sorry about your swordtail, Omega3s. It's so hard when you know what the problem is, and still can't treat it.

I talked today to someone who has experience in fish illness. I had been...

Here is a video of Les. I know it is crappy, but at least you can see how fast he is breathing.

Les is a diamond tetra who survived an excess of dissolved gases about 4 weeks ago. He was doing great, and then last Monday, the temp in his 10g went from 25.5 to 26.9. He got very active, and...

Is mutant ammonia any more odd than continually having positive ammonia in all my water, including RO?:rofl: :wink:

Your idea about ammonia-locking compounds is a great theory, but won't work in...

FOR HOMEMADEPOPCORN, YOU ARE THE GREATEST:19:

So false positives are...

Hey everyone. I know it's been a while since I posted to this thread, but since I am still having issues, I figured I would just revive it instead of creating a new thread.

The past week-ish has...

I agree. But I have a question that I will ask later on in my post here. The QT amm is coming down: this evening was <0.25, so we are getting there. I did add some extra Prime to the tank today to...

Shoot. Scott just tested the water from the tap. The tap water is measuring between .25 and .5. I know I had tested the water with the other kit and it came back 0. Now what? We have not had rain...

Thanks homemadepopcorn. I thought that was correct, but then I got confused and thought the higher the pH, the higher the ammonium.

The QT has no rotting anything anywhere. Before we moved the...

What is the relationship between pH and the ratio of ammonia/ium? We have very basic water (just around 8.4). I had been using the Nutrafin mini master kit, and never had ammonia test 0, always at...

Until we can get our water tested and figure out the exact problem, we are going to have to mature our water before WC's. But how? And where? Bottled water is just not practical: the space...

Very neat plans. I can't hardly wait to see the end results.

That green field is part of a Provincial Grazing Reserve, and is directly across from our house. There were cows on the field earlier this summer, and then they plowed it and planted a mix of grains...
