Okay, so took advantage of leaving the kids with the sitter today on my day off.

First thing this morning I moved the two black convict cichlids, both males, to a ten gallon aquarium with old tank...

It's been running for 7 months, inhabited by fish for 5 months.

The guy that lives by me had two tanks with two pairs of white severums and countless fry in the tanks. Only thing is I think they're mislabeled white "severums" because he said the were not true...

Lady - I'd have to look in my binder where I keep notes date to date, but anymore I test my water in the morning before I do a WC and then an hour after I've changed the water, assuming it's been...

Okay, so I've kept the same 21 serpae tetra with some other tank inhabitants alive and well for near five months with no losses. They currently reside in a 27 gallon cube aquarium.

That's...

With my tank's cycle trItes showed up at 0.25 five days after my first dose of ammonia, and within 48 hours were at 5+. They stayed there for 14 days, at which time I changed my filter from a Bio...

I kept it....the old one fit like a glove over the intake for the Penguin 550 powerhead I now have on the opposite side of the tank. And it's been on there a week and the powerhead is moving water...
