I have had fish for about 2 years and they usually all died after 6 months. I always got 5 livebearers at a time for a 20 gal tank. Whenever I clean it out, there is a bunch of poop and particles that rise from within the rocks, however my ammonia levels have remained at 0, as well as basically...

I regulate ph and oh through API ph up and API ph down. I use API tap water conditioner to dechlorinate the water, I know I'm using the right dose. I regulate kh with microbe lift kh bioactive booster. I don't have a way to test the gh and kh. The thing in the top left of the photo is a tank...

I just got 5 new livebearers 8 days ago, and they have all been doing fine except for one of them. He doesn't have any illness at all (he's as active as the other fish, just slower because he hasn't eaten) but he won't eat anything I give him. He's a balloon molly, if that means anything. I've...
