So I wound up taking out that gourami, putting him in his own tank, I replaced him in the main tank with another gourami, and the new one gets along with everyone, no problems with him. The first one...

no it's a 29 gallon

I thought Gouramis were supposed to be peaceful. I have a large tank with 1 Betta, 4 Julii Catfish, & I added 1 Dwarf Gourami. The Betta was always a peacefull guy with the catfish. I added the...

Do you have to dechlorinate water if you only have a moss ball in a bowl? Or can it live in just plain water (no fish in bowl).

So there will be no fish in this bowl. Do I even have to change the water?

My mother is getting a marimo moss ball and putting it in a goldfish bowl with rocks, marbles etc. One site says you have to use distilled water. Can we use regular tap water & condition it with...

My Juliis sometimes run up & down the sides of the glass many times. Is this normal?

So I tried to do my first gravel cleaning today of my 5 gallon tank. I took a few tries to get the it to siphon out the water, sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't ( i watched several youtube...

I have a 5 gallon tank. It's been 6 weeks since I started it up (it finished cycling in the 25th day). I've had my betta in it since then and would like to know how often I should change out my...

Is there such a thing as too many plants? I have a 5 gallon tank and I have 8 individual stalks of plants spread around the tank.

Yay! After the 26th day my nitrite level finally broke down to 0. I'm doing a major water change today and my tank is ready! It does work! Wow!

Ok, so when you do a water change & you add water conditioner (in my case it's Stress Coat+) how long should you wait after adding the conditioner to add that water to the tank? Do you have to wait a...

I'm confused as to which I should use. I have the Hikari which has great reviews on Amazon. But other people like Omega One (although it did not get great reviews there, one person even said it...

Just tested my tap water:
Ammonia .25
Nitrites 0
Nitrates 0
PH 7.6

I haven't added any water since last week

Thanks 850R, I reeeeaaaaalllyyy appreciate all the help. So with these nitrates still in my tank, will it make any difference to the cycling right now? With the ammonia dropping everyday I was...

Now tell me if this is weird. The second week is when the nitrites were showing. At that time I was testing also for Nitrates and it was reading about 40-80ppm in the second week. I haven't tested it...

Thanks. So should I not dose at all if it shows .25 or .5 and just wait till the next day? I was afraid that if it went down to 0 it wouldn't be feeding the bacteria.

So I'm into the 20th day of fishless cycling of my 5 gallon tank. The last week the ammonia keeps going down, usually down to .5 or .25 everyday (I dose it back up to 2 everyday). The nitirites have...

Can I make my own caves out of clay? I talking about the self hardening clay.
Also could you make a cave out of small rocks and stones and use a silicone glue to glue them together? Just wondering.

can't really afford a bigger tank with filter and heater to use as quarantine tank, so I guess I'll have to take my chances when the tank is ready and they will have to go directly into the main tank.

Okay I onto my 3rd week of fishless cycling. My ammonia keeps dropping to almost 0 everyday and my nitrites are holding at 5. So I expect to see them drop pretty soon. I would like to get a pair of...

It's a gravel substrate. So should I use the tab fertilizer and not use the liquid fertilizer?

It's only a 5 gallon

I have a 15w compact fluorescent in the hood. Does it matter where I cut it off. Should I cut it right at the base of the stem? Thanks for all the help.

I bought these African Swords at Petsmart 2 weeks ago. They looked allright when I bought them. But a few (not all) look like this. i have used some liquid fertilizer, but these one keep looking like...
