So I guess you're going to tell me to stick with mollies/platies/guppies/swords. :sad: I'm also not a huge fan of most tetras. Lemons, rummynose, and hatchets I could be happy with. I just don't want ordinary looking fish, likea serpae or a columbian red-blue. My tank is 18 inches with a...

I've got mature media in the tank- a sponge filter and the little bio-cylinders specifically made to hold bacteria. The carbon filter between them is new, though. I've got the aquaclear hob. I also have a mesh bag of gravel from one of the tanks in the store I work at, though I'm not sure the...

They only say ammonium hydroxide. nothing else. And the suds are less than half an inch. And... I've been to 6 stores looking for pure...

I'm starting up a 29 gallon tank and I understand transferring bacteria from an established tank can speed up the cycling process. How long does it take for bacteria to start dying off? Will temperature affect it? Oxygen? Or is ammonia the only thing they need? Basically what happened was, I...
