UPDATE: After a 75% or more water change, the readings have changed to 1.0. Its the same as the tap water ammonia. I'm not sure I can get it any lower. I have been medicating my fish in case it was an ich outbreak. Im wondering if I should cease that since the fish do not appear to have that...

I use a liquid test kit. I'm going to take out the fish and place them in a new one while I do this large water change. Hopefully it will cause them less stress.

Just to ease myself, i tested the water stright from the tap. It reads at 1.0ppm. Is there any way to get it to .25 if I dont even get that from my tap? Also I will leave enough water for them to swim and start changing it now!

The tank has been set up for about 8 months or so. I try and to a 25% water change once a week. I do gravel vac but only usually when I clean or do a total tank tare down and back up. I'm not sure what u mean by the 3rd question; if you mean if i treat my tap water, i do with a fish water...

Hi everyone, I'm currently having a bad problem with high ammonia in my jv guppy tank. I have recently lost some of the tank members and thought it to be an ich outbreak. However, im not seeing anything physically wrong with them. I tested the water last night and found that my ammonia is at...

I forgot to mention that the treatment in the tank is done. I would like to remove the fish from the net as it is small, but my fry tank is 30 gals and they would have plenty of room to hide and roam. the current fry in the tank are under an inch and would not bother the new ones. thanks prior...

I have recently finished an ick treatment in one of my tanks. During the process of treatment one of my female guppies had fry. I put them in a birthing net while the fish were under treatment. My question is when can I put the fry in my fry tank without affecting the other fry?

I currently have nothing to test my ammonia. Sorry. the tank has been up and running for a good year and 6 months now. First time i have gotten this problem since! I will raise the temp, as to airation.. i currently have another tank recovering from white spots too. But as of last night their...

I now have another tank sick. It is 21 gallons and contains 3 tetra, 1 chinese algie eater (full grown), 1 cory cat fish, 3 swordtails, 3 guppies, 1 live plant. I have added the tetras about a month or so ago. i have one tetra appear to have been salted. the other two have some but not as...

Other then taking him to a vet and having him euthanised im not sure. But I know that this board has some very knowlgeable members and they will help!

I now have another of my tanks getting white sprinkled spots on them. This one however had new tetras added to the tank. But, it appears nothing similar to the others. all of the fish are active and eating. I am treating this one with ick meds. but do i need to change the water as I have just...

Here are the stats of the tank: Before the water change General Hardness:180 Alkine:40 pH:6.0 NO2:0 NO3:200 After the water change General Hardness:180 Alkine:180 pH:7.5 NO2:.5 NO3:0 I still lost more fish.. but not as many as yesterday. I have seperated those that are showing symptoms from...

I will test tonight when I get home.... the spots appear like they are sprinkled while others seem to have just lost some color in their tails Approx 30+ (maybe)in the fish tank before this happened. Most (99%) are guppy fry. As of this morning my 4 swordtail fry appeared ok. As of this...

UPDATE: I have lost 2 more fish and probably 2 more within the hour. 75% of the remaining fish are sitting on the bottom right hand side of the tank. What the heck is going on??? also... i do not have anything to test my fish water right now.. i will pick some up tomorrow and anything else...

Today I came home and found about 10-15 dead fish in my 30 gal fish tank. I have about 7-9 more in an old breeding net either dying or very weak (to the point that they can't swim away from the filter grabing them or swim far off the bottom. I also have some fish doing something unsual. The are...
