Hi all, I have a 40-gallon breeder tank with two large fancy goldfish. I made a huge mistake and replaced my fish filter cartridge with a new one, causing an ammonia spike. I think I accidentally "uncycled" my tank and am not sure what to do now. Ammonia got as high as 4.0ppm. I have done 50%...

Hi all, I have a 40 gallon tank with 2 fancy goldfish and a 10 gallon tank with a betta. I am looking to try a community tank set-up for the first time. I have a 20 gallon high that I was hoping I could use. My water hardness is 46ppm (very soft). I am not picky about what fish and am looking...

Yikes I also just noticed he has a small white lump on his tail with a red dot in it. Any idea what this is??? Below is the best picture I could get.
