Hello All! I was wondering if any of you can give me your input on what could be a white stringy substance coming from that bottom of my fish? He was wounded (punctured flesh) from another fish in the tank a week and a half ago, and he seems to be healing fine but this showed up away from the...

I LOVE this place!

so many shoes, so little time =(

Hi All, I am two weeks into cycling a tank with red bellys. I will no longer be using the instant water test strips. I finally have an "API Freshwater Master Test Kit." My question is: What are the desired levels that I should be trying to achieve in maintaining a healthy, livable environment...

Well, the RB's are still alive. I must be doing something right (thanks to everyones help!) I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good water conditioner? I am currently using "Tetra Aqua, New with bioextract." Is this a good one to stick with? Suggestions?

Today is a new day, aaaaaaand, everything is still looking good (for now). Woohoooo! Ive added some plants to the tank to help protect them from aliens (us) and sunlight.

For the mean time, I am still using the all in one test strip until the master tester is back in stock (should be able to pick that up in 3-4 days?). All of the levels are in the safe zone, for now. I planned on doing a 80% water change tomorrow but I suppose that will depend on what the test...

Both the local fish store AND the corporate pet store were sold out of the liquid testers. I purchased one in advance and should be here in a few days. All I do is watch the tank. Sometimes I dont even realize that im doing it. I will be doing another 80% water change tomorrow.

Got it. Thanks!

Hello ~~waterdrop~~ I am on my way out to pick up a "freshwater master test kit." This morning, I noticed that they have begun thrashing against the gravel again =(. I noticed that they seem to be a little aggitated with one another. Although Ive only had them for 6 days, today is the first...

Hello ~~waterdrop~~ Yes, all of the information you provided makes complete sense. I am so glad I found this site as everyone has been extremely helpful! I already completed the water change earlier. I took out as much as I could (about 80%). My kids, I mean, my fish already seem to be doing...

I see. Would you suggest adding anything in with the water change to help balance things? Or just do the water change alone, and thats it?

I had so many concerns about taking them in. The tank size being one of them. Know one else wanted them at the time, but I will keep asking around. Until then, I will do as you suggested and do water changes. Do you think I need to upgrade the filtration system to help elimated the ammonia and...
