Yeh fish have returned to more like their normal. And the smell has gone after my water change. I am going to keep an eye on them and check the smell regularly. The Cory are active again. It may have been an unsettling of bacteria in the gravel when I planted the moss? Tomas it is 10:34pm here I...

Yep.

I added a very small bit of java moss?

The tank smells of burnt rubber. Checked electrics and seemed fine. Down 50% water change and guppies swimming fine but corries are not particularly active.

Hardness is too low but my tap water is soft and it is hard to increase my aquarium water hardness. Advice on how to increase my hardness would be helpful. My...

I have 4 Cory, a tetra and 5 guppies in a 75 litre tank. It has been running since early January and has been cycled. The fish were all fine until a couple of days ago where my water hardness and ph started to reduce, following that my nitrite and nitrate went up. I have since taken my nitrite...

Today, my results look better, guppies are still near the top but not always at the surface.
