I wasn't sure where else to put this so I figured this was the best spot. I have been playing this really cool sim game Hajinc online for over a year now. it is lots of fun and totally free. You don't have to know a thing about horses to play either. Also, right now we are having a referral...

Awesome! Thanks for the pointer in the right direction!

Thanks to all the people here who helped me recover and learn from my tragic loss of most of my fish a few monthes ago. I got four more Platies yesterday. I am up to the most fish I want to put in my tank now. I have a 20 gallon freshwater that I have been rebuilding since that catastrophic...

Wow that's a lot of info! Thanks. I just want to clarify one thing since I didn't make it clear the first time. My tank has been up and running for at least a year, closer to 18 monthes. The gourami was living there for at least 9 monthes. The platys I originally had were offspring from my...

Thank you guys for the in depth and informative replies! For some reason when I was in the LFS (a Petco was the one I went to since it was the closest, but there are a few others I may check out next time) I didn't see any hardness tests. I ended up buying a mini master test kit which had low...

Ok thanks, Gem. I retested the Ph and NO2 today and it came out as Ph: 7.4 and NO2: 0. I think Maybe I read the NO2 a little off the other day. Today I took it too the window and looked at it there instead of under my yellow kitchen light. :blush: I think I will retest everything in a...

Ok that was basically what I had figured happened. I used to when I added fish, float the bag for like 10 miuntes. Open it and add some water from the tank. Float for another ten minutes. add a little more water. Let it set a few more minutes then dump it in. I don't have room for a quarantiene...

I wasn't sure which section to put this in so my apologies if this is the wrong one. It's not exactly an emergency since most of the fish have died already. I have been keeping fish on and off for seven years. Currently I have a 20 Gallon with an on the back carbon filter and a powerhead...
