Alot of my fish had died in the past week and I noticed it was gill flukes after reading a ton on different diseases so I bought medication. I used the Clout medication and then noticed no fish have died since then. Since then I have now added 2 south american puffers which I have been searching...

My temperature is 80 degrees because I plan on getting blue rams and I heard they liked warmer water. I dechlorinate the water. The bucket I use is for the fish only. So I'm guessing it can either be to hot or to much stress... I just thought I should add that when I added the sand to my...

No white spots on any current or dead fish No clamped fins on current fish Don't no about dead ones I haven't noticed any scratching The only color thing I have noticed is that my khuli loach color was faded. I 4 other ones and there colors seem fine. Also all of them had seemed to behaving...

My water levels have are: 0 ammonia 0 nitrates about 30 nitrates In this past week the fish that have died: 1 kuhli loach 2 guppies 1 otto Could it be from the fact I added some of these fish while my tank was toward the end of cycling? And also I did a change to sand last weekend which gave...

Well I think I am having a bacterial bloom. My tank finally hit 0 ammonia yesterday even before I did a water change. Yet my nitrates have risen since yesterday. So does this mean I am having a bacterial bloom? And if so would it be smart to change my substrate from gravel to sand now since I...

Alright I am moving my 4 giant danios to another tank. After 5 minutes I caught one and after 15 couldn't catch another. I don't want to try it anymore because I don't wanna stress out my other fish since I also did a water change today which I'd assume stresses out fish. So how would you guys...

I don't know the exact dimensions. It is one of the basic ones you buy in the box called All Glass Aquariums.

20 gallon wide and my filter came with it. I think it's called an external power filter that is meant for a 20 gallon. I wanna eventually switch to something meant for a larger tank though.

Sorry I noticed I mixed up the clown loaches for KUHLI Loaches. I always call my kuhli loaches that by accident.

Also I have read that Purigen is good to help clear up the water. Is this stuff hard to find and expensive, and would you guys recommend it?

I was wondering if the fish in my tank are messy ones or relatively clean ones that don't put a hard strain on my filter: -3 clown loaches (should be 4 but I can't find one if my life depended on it. -2 pairs of guppies -4 small Otos -4 Giant Danios -1 small bolivian ram -1 small silver dollar...

It's funny you bring up Bio Spira because I actually just bought it and put it in my tank. The ammonia level is at around 4-5 right before putting it in with the nitrate level at 0 ppm after 2 weeks of having my tank. I am looking forward to the results tommorow because everyone in the fish...

The other tank is 29g and is one that would probably anger people, but it has no research put into it just advice from fish stores, which is why I wanna do it right with my tank. Before I list the fish just keep in mind it is not my tank so I have no say in what goes in it. I recently learned...

We have had a tank in my house so I have experience but I just bought my own tank 2 weeks ago and it is still cycling with some fish in it and none have died even though I put a Irradescent shark in the first night (the other one got eatin that day in our other tank and he had been attacked...
