On the question of scientific consensus, I believe NASA :) https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

CO2 causes traps heat. Here is the general reason why: Sunlight is caused by certain wavelengths of light from the sun. These wavelengths of light contain energy in the form of heat. This energy is partially absorbed by the earths surface, warming it, and partially reflected by the earths...

I have one petco store that consistently cards me for fish, though I'm no longer a minor. It's a little funny because I was never carded when I was actually a minor. The rule seems pretty unfair. If they really wanted to protect their livestock, they would be better off refusing service to...

Beautiful fish! How big is Persephone? She looks enormous! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did you cycle the tank before hand? If not, what are your ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels, if you have a test kit? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay. Thank you. I just worry about the possibility of an internal infection. That would clear it up? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So it looks like everything is going to die except for the three cories. Any suggestions on where to go to next? I don't want to add any new fish if they are all going to suffer. I certainly will not be buying from the same store again. Should I move the cories to another tank and bleach...

I doubt it's a water issue as all my tests have come out fine. (0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 5 nitrate). My water is very soft. I keep neon tetras and glowlight tetras in another aquarium without an issue. I would rather not add any other fish into the tank until whatever is killing my current fish...

I don't believe this is the proper platform to get into the ethics of genetic modification. It's perfectly fine to not condone glowfish. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They're not dyed or injected. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The glowfish I bought are genetically modified. They the offspring of formerly genetically modified ancestors. As it is, I don't have an issue with GMOs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi everyone. Recently got a new tank and to say it isn't going well is an understatement. It's a 13.5 gallon fluval edge. Cycled the tank using a combination of seeded filter media from my established tank and Seachem Stability. It cycled in a little less than a week and now runs 0 ammonia, 0...

Sorry, I'm a little confused. Is the tank 300l or 20l? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

20l really isn't big enough for anything more than a betta. You should probably take him back. He'll out grow that tank very quickly. He's also a big waste producer, so he'll probably pollute the water. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed with eaglesaquarium. Bacteria will divide the fastest in warm to hot water. The only way to safely kill bacteria is to either use iodine or boil water. When we use a heated in our tanks, it is for the comfort of our fish, not to kill bacteria. Not doing water changes would lead to...
