    Air Bubbles On Fish?

    So I went to the tropical fish store that is known for having a good reputation, rather than the my lfs. I bought a full master test kit. Levels are: Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 PH - 7.2 Nitrate - 40ppm Going to do a 40% water change, add anti-biotic that is safe to react w/ copper (because of...

    Air Bubbles On Fish?

    We did water tests before and after the fish were in the tank. Like I said in my first post, I do regular water checks both myself and from the LFS and have had no issues.

    Air Bubbles On Fish?

    Hello, new to the forum and hoping that someone can help me ASAP with a problem in my 55 gallon fish tank. I do frequent water checks and all the nitrates, nitrites, Ph, etc.. are all within normal parameters. The 55 gallon set up is fairly new (about 2 months), as we had to transfer our two...
