Well from the water change I did yesterday the ammonia levels are already down, so is there anything else I could do to help besides observing? Thanks for the help

Hi, my crayfish started showing signs of lethargy yesterday, being slow in the morning and then was lying on its side in the evening (molting?). I tested my parameters: ph 8.0-8.2 Ammonia 0.5 ppm Nitrites 0 ppm Nitrates 0 ppm 20 C pH was a bit higher than normal (no apparent reason) so I did a...

So do you know any of their requirements? I live in New Zealand if that helps. Thanks

Hi, so I found this guy out in my water tank can I get some identification and requirements to keep him alive? Thanks.

Some weird results here.. What should I do now?

Haha yes, can I try this experiment without an air pump? And also for the tank, should I just let it sit for 2 weeks and observe? Thanks!

So previously you and another person told me to leave my tap water out to let the CO2 escape, that is just what I did, sorry for the confusion and (probably) misuse of a term. When my tap water comes out it is at 6.0 and the next day (there are bubbles which I assume is the CO2) it is 7.0. I’ve...

Yes, though I am not sure it has changed because I haven’t tested it since. This time though, I have a large bucket to decarbonise(?) it before using the water (water came out at 6.0 and became 7.0 after from what I remember). It is a UV filter so it probably shouldn’t affect the pH. I will do...

Hi, so about a week ago I decided I wanted to have a go at fishkeeping again. Previously I had set up a small planted tank (52l ~ 13gal) but had problems with pH fluctuations, which can be seen in this previous thread. I had left the tank running for a few months and only turned on the light...
