I am thinking of endlers. I know the water is hard but everyone I know have a beta in their home. They are so popular pet shops are overstocked. And secondly most pet shops have the bad reputations. When I lived in the USA I bought 3 ferrets from Petco only because I felt sorry for them as...

We asked about taking them back and they refused. They also gave birth both of them and I had to remove that fish from the tank. Yes the brown algae or that bacteria is easy to clean up. For the past week my ammonia is at 0 but nitrites and nitrates kind of high. I will take your advice and do...

Update: I did the most unorthodox thing ever. Because the biorb is using ceramic media which are small- medium rocks some of the fry got trapped and died there. I tried to take them out with the net but I couldn't so I panicked that they would mess up my tank cycle. So I kept 10 liters of the...

Hello everyone? I am currently cycling a 3 week 30lt biorb tube tank with 2 sailfin mollies (one of them just gave birth to 15 little ones just this morning). I have noticed that the past 3 days brown algae has appeared on the artificial plants I have. I was wondering if its normal or something...

Hello how are you? I am still cycling the tank and this morning my sailfin molly gave birth to I think 8 small ones. What can I do now? Take them out of the fish tank or leave them there? Do they eat the tropical fish food I am giving the big ones? I'm panicked and excited at the same time. And...

Hi how are you??? I had a big ammonia spike as yesterday I didnt change the water because of work. My readings for today were: Ammonia 0.50ppm Nitrite: 0.50ppm Nitrate: 20ppm I did a 75% water change. I just wanted to ask you if u have any idea how to clean the gravel at the biorb tank. As it...

Thank you so much for your help!!! And I got it now. Water bill is gonna be a bit expensive this time

Well I just did a water change and I just fed them. The other way around. Because it's already 7pm here. And tomorrow I'm just working all day so I may not have time to do a water change. Oh ok got it now with the nitrite and ammonia. Thank you so much for your help!!

I counted the water parameters today and I have Ammonia 0.25ppm and 0ppm of Nitrite. Shall I do a water change or feed the fish and wait till tomorrow?

This might seem like a stupid question but forgive for I am a newbie. Can I use distilled water in the aquarium?

I have a thermometer sepearate from the heater that tells me the temp. I have a floating one and one I always leave on the tank wall away from the heater so it could tell me the right temp. The temperature is now down to 26C (80C).

The temp has gone down to 26C (80F). So now I will turn up the heater to 25C to keep the temp steady.
