Yeah my cousin has had his fishes for over a year now, and he has a seperate tank where he can heal the cory, and he said he will most likely be using a combo of melafix and pimafix

Yeah thats what I was thinking, thanks for the replies. Gonna give them to my cousin who has a cycled 55 gal tank and do the fishless cycle

Sorry for not clarifying, I am doing about 20% water changes every day, should i do more % per day or do multiple changes each day? Given the tank is 20 gal high.

Tank Size - 20 Gal High Filter - Tetra Whisper 40 Heater - I forgot the name but it is a pretty good one for the tank Thermometer - 77 degrees Air Stone - 1 Sand Substrate Using API Master Tet Kit for water testing   Hey guys, I'm currently doing a fishy cycle (2 and a half weeks in) with 10...

Yeah you were right, I returned them ( lucky they even took them back ), Gonna get 1-2 gourami ( hope i spelled t right ) instead :D   I do wonder, the petco also has the same water as me ( since we both are in ny ), how come they still insist on selling these fishes knowing the water isnt very...

for the molly, my neon tetras should be fine with him right?? got 10 neon tetras ans 2 silver ones (mollies as stated) and 2 of the orange ones ( not sure if swordtail sine I see no sword shaped on their tails.

Got them from Petco, was disappointed that they didnt have my corys :( So my son decided on getting these, the worker said they will fit nicely in the tank and so far they have been peaceful but I totally forgot to get their names.... can someone give me a name for them??   1st fish...     2nd...

awesome, thanks guys, going with the gourami :D really hope just have 1 gourami doesn't stress him/her out because of being lonely

Awesome, thanks alot for that hardness levels :D, great for the cory and tetra, but sucks for the guppy; really liked that one xD. Any other fish recommended thats like the Guppy (fancy, like a center piece for the tank, doesnt get too big and dont need more than 2 in a tank) and will fit fine...

How is this for example?   6 peppered corys 2 Guppies 10 Neon Tetras (Research shows they are more peaceful than other species of tetra)   Not sure how accurate Advert for another forum removed can be but here it is.... Also it says that the ratio for than 1 guppy is Male to Female 1:2. any...

That was VERY informative Byron, thank you. I went to the website (New York) http://www.nyc.gov/html/dep/html/drinking_water/wsstate.shtmlbut I couldn't find anything on water hardness. I skimmed through it but no luck, and yeah thanks for the water advice, I didnt put any old water into the new...

Thanks a lot guys, definately helpful insights. I will be taking a water sample to petco and see what they say.      Can you expand on "hard to keep fully schools". Do they die off or something? or you just cant have them fully schooled because you cant fit that many in a tank?   I plan on...

I tried the method stated here http://www.wikihow.com/Determine-if-You-Have-Hard-Waterand looks like the hardness is around 3 out of 10. I plan to do a fishless cycle, going to have a 20 gallon tall tank, 150 watt heater, tetra whisper 40 filter, sand substrate, fake plants, ornaments, wallpaper...

Planing to get a 20 gallon for my nephew's room, was wondering what is the max number of fishes I can put in it. What I mean by that is, which kind of fishes I can put in there without overcrowding it. Already plan on putting 4 corys in there, no angelfish since I know they need their space, any...

  Is the sand some sort of plant enriched substrate?  These contain organics and obviously release CO2.  As I mentioned before, I've never had continuous bubbles on the substrate with play sand or gravel.  Air will be trapped within the substrate, and bubbles can rise from that.  But another...
