I can use an outdoor hose, but that might be a bit of a gasket. I’ve had plenty of fish for a while, but no issues with them dying from the water.

I have a Ph of around 7.6 and yet I’ve been told we have a water softener on our tap water. I use bathtub water for water changes and I would like to keep guppies and maybe breed them. My Ph is stable in all my tanks. Is there any way I can increase the hardness in my tank and not cause my Ph to...

Any color that suits fish the best? I know black really contrasts well with fish and plants.

Thank you.

I think I got some photos.

I was just wandering what plants, rocks, or fish should I add into my 37 gallon tanks? Right now I have 1 khuli loach, 5 rainbows I can’t remember the name of, 3 pearl danios, 3 Cory cats, 2 rams, 2 otto’s, and three amono shrimp. I plan on getting a few cherry shrimp in the future.

I recently bought Seachem flourish and noticed that the seal was already opened with some orange stains along the rim. I’ve never had this before and on the back it says refrigerate 3 months after opening. Should I use it or just be safe and buy another one? I just dosed my first dosage of...

I was just thinking it might look nicer, but if it puts the health of my fish at risk I won’t do it. My gravel is a more natural tone with reds, oranges, and light yellows.

i would like to change my gravel substrate to a more plant friendly substrate. I have a few questions about this. 1. Is it safe for the fish? 2. How do I do it? 3. Any good options for my tank that is plant and fish friendly? My tank is 37 gallon’s, has two mat/carpeting plants, a cluster of...

. It’s a 37 gallon tank, with 4 Cory catfish, 1 dwarf gourami, 2 healthy guppies and the two sick guppies, 5 neons, and a platy, plus one mystery snail.

With the test I just did the nitrate is 0 ppm, ph is 7.6, ammonia is 0 ppm, and nitrate is 10 ppm. Any thoughts?
