I just bought an Aquatic plant fertilizer for the live plant i have in my tank. The brand name is called Plant Gro and its new. I was wondering if anyone has heard from this brand of fertilizer? If so can u guys tell me if it works or not? Is it safe to use while the fish are in the tank? How...

okie guys! thanks so much for the info!! I will just moniter the temp and if it does get past 82 i will use the soda bottles.

Okie so i got my tank cycled. I went and bought the 2 guppies and they are doing really great! Just one question! I dont have a heater-didnt think i needed it-and my temp has been anywhere from 78-82. I think thats a lil warm, how can i keep my temp to stay at 78? I cant even keep my light on...

I had my tank for only 3 days now and on the second day those bugs apeared. Only a couple here there though its not like my whole tank is infested in them. i didnt over feed my fish so i have no idea why they appeared.

Well i would never over feed my fish for one. I think this happend cause i threw in a pellet for my bottom feeder while i was feeding my tiger barbs and it probably never got eaten all the way. I wont do that anymore.

Thanks so much guys! Like i said i am new and i want to learn as much as possible! i have taken the fishies back to the petstore but i didnt come home with fish so im just going to let my tank cycle for now. As for as a bigger tank, money is not the issue but the space is. My room is the only...

okie thanks!

oh ok so they are harmelss bugs? i have nothing to worry about then other than the overstocked tank and uncycled water?

Ok so i still got those 4 tiger barbs and that 1 cory in my 2.5g tank and ive noticed that water is cloudy and there are these REALLY teny tiny white/cream bugs on the black rock i got and come on the glass. Are those the bacteria that i need when cycling a tank? Cause i never really cycled my...

Thanks so much!!

Ok cool! Thanks for all ur help! I have class tomorrow i will see if i can make a trip back to the petstore and exchange them for the guppies! I will also buy a water testing kit and cycle my water starting tomorrow before i put the guppies in! Another thing, if i wanted to get more fish what...

:-( So i cant keep any other fish in my tank other than a beta? I dont like betas :unsure: Is there anyother fish i can keep in my tank? maybe two guppies or maybe neon tetras?

Im pretty sure my tank is a 2.5 Gallon tank because i have a 1G tank and the difference looks about right. I did add the dechlorinater stuff to the water before i added the fish. so what should i do about the fish then?

Well on the box of the tank said i could keep small barbs, cories, betas, goldfish, and guppies in there so thats what i went by. Would i still have to cycle my water if i used filtered water from my fridge? i had the tank on for 24hours with no fish before i added them.
