I went there and they told me my water was pretty screwed up (i brought a sample for them to test because my test kit is bad) and if i come back in a week or two with better water after following their advice i would get the GNP for free :)

well he was probably wild caught because gold nugget's breeding habits are undocumented...   I called the store and they said they would give me 60 bucks in credit if i bring in the receipt.

oh... i already flushed him down the toilet...   Anyways, the store is about 10 minutes away and i made sure to ask how long they had him. They said their shipment of GNP's was about 3 weeks ago so he should have been fine in the store and the weak ones would have died off.   Also, he was there...

Well, its me again...   I got a gold nugget pleco yesterday. I did all my research, foods, tank mates, tank size, etc.    Anyways, i bought one from my lfs yesterday for 59.99 and I made sure to acclimate it very cautiously, and i checked my water stats. ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 10    PH: 7.2...

my fish died.    I woke up and he was on the bottom of the tank and dead.   I checked the ph ad it was the same, no ammonia or nitrites, nitrates are at 20ppm   temperature was the same as last night, and he wasn't acting weird before. I looked on his body and he had little white fluffs on his...

My tank has two lava rocks and an anubias plant on each, one big red rock in the center, and lots of other live plants that i bought a couple days ago. I also have one fake plant that i just taped to the hood so it looks like a floating plant to the gourami. Im just using a typical "Petco...

Im using a pond care liquid master test kit. It goes from 9.0 to 5.0 my gh is about 200. my kh is very low at about 50.

my tank has been really inconsistent with pH and i fear that it is stressing out my fish.   It is a 20 gallon tank and i have one blue dwarf gourami.   My water conditions are normal except for my pH   Right now it is at around 5.4.   My tap water is at about 8.0   When i do a water change and...

yeah i was just throwing ideas out there. Haven't done too much research on these species yet.   I read the article on Badis Badis, seems like an interesting fish to keep, but a lot of work.    For the angelfish, I could move them to a 55 gallon tank, but i might hold off on them until it's for...

I was planning on some angels. Those are the only ones i have decided on, but i am researching gold nugget plecos. The size varies greatly depending no the site e.g. some say 6 inchess, some say 10-12, I have no idea.  I also might get a couple tetras or rasboras. And some chameleon Badis would...

Today i found that my fish store would not take back the gourami if it had any sickness, so they said that if i gave them back the rts they would accept it. I gave them the rte, got 4 bucks store credit, and now my gourami has started eating and acting normally.    I guess the rts was the...

I just looked up his behavior and it seems like a lot of people have the same problem. Could he be just chasing his reflection?

Ok, I'll see if they accept fish back. All I want in my aquarium are some tiger barbs the rts and possibly other compatible fish. Nothing too fancy. would adding another gourami help? I doubt it but just a thought.

If i were to return one to the LFS, which one should it be? I really like the red tail, but the gourami might have some permanent issues

Just when i thought i had it solved...   So the problem has started again. It seems like when the tank lights are on, the gourami starts swimming up and down on the side of the tank again. I have no idea what to do. Adding hiding places seemed to help for a while but not any more. When i turn...
