I purchased a super red Texas srt from a local guy and he gave me a tiny baby silk Thai flower horn for free. I cant put him in my 110 bc he is too small so I through him in by himself in my 55 for now. What size tank should I put him in for a few months to grow out a bit a 10 or 20 gallon? I...

I do what I know works for me personally. This site is for info and opinions from others. It obviously say I’m a new member so how am I supposed to know this? … what is your preferred method on here?

Popeye “ lol

If your fish does have Popeyes you need to do big water changes. he has a video on this too. You can watch anyone’s videos on these subjects. He has a good way of dumming down information for anyone including myself. Keep us posted. Gl

Click on his name and watch more of his videos.

No problem, if you don’t understand it at first just rewatch as many times as need and or take notes. He also has other video links throughout this video on other subjects. I would watch more of his videos. He has videos covering a lot of topics for new fish owners.

O ok that takes a lot longer than adding bio media to the tank. Just give it time. You can add a little flake food to help speed up a little fish food breaks down into ammonia bb nitrites feed off the waste then bb nitrate feed off the waste of nitrite. Your live plants will also consume some of...

You can try adding more or better bio media for the bb to grow in your filter. Sponge filters are great for collecting bb. Sounds like your tank isn’t fully cycled to complete the nitrogen cycle. You can use filter media from a cycled tank and use that or clean your established filter media in...

Sorry I just read all the above comments. You have had your tank setup for a few months and not cycled? Something is not right.. what type and size filter and filter media do you use? Have you been cleaning your filter cartridges? You want to be very careful when doing this and know when to...

I would add prime and stability everyday for at least a week to start. Stability will help grow bb faster to get ur tank stable prime removes chlorine and detoxifies ammonia. It does not remove it makes it more comfortable for your fish until your conditions are right. I wouldn’t feed the fish...

@Linkandnavi i ended up using two filter pouches off one filter. I’m guna wait to feed the tank for 3 days so it has time to catch up on bb. I also read to add a little food to breakdown and start the nitrogen process so I added a tiny bit of brine shrimp. I will wait a week and do a water...

@Avel1896 i think it will work. I moved the sponge filter from established tank as well as putting two filter cartridges out of one of my filters from my main tank. My goal is to have fish in the tank no longer than a week bc I am moving. I watched some videos on yt and one guy did it the same...

I have a 55 fully cycled tank with two 55gallon filters. I just cleaned out my substrate on my other 55 and put water in it. Instead of buying a new one and waiting a few weeks can I take one of the two on my cycled tank and put it on there? I know you want to keep all the original bb in the...

Both look to be males in these photos. I’m do you have updated better photos with lighting? Males have longer dorsal and usually longer anal fins and are usually more colorful than females.

@Dado9478 ? I meant to tag you also.
