I'll go ahead and try a 50% then. I shoot for 25% weekly on this tank due to it being so large. I have my good old 5 gallon bucket that I haul from the sink to the tank. Unfortunately, the sinks I have are waterfall sinks so I cannot connect a line directly to the tank as they have no threading...

Since I did water changes on Saturday and Sunday, do you think it would be alright to continue with a 50% change today? I did 25 gallons the first day, and 35 gallons yesterday. So would it be a good idea to do 60 gallons?

Nitrates are minimal from my tap. I have 4 other tanks that had their weekly water change yesterday and their nitrates are 10ppm.

I currently have a 125G tank that has a Fluval FX6 filter. I have been feeding my fish(50 small-medium community fish) the same amount for about a year. It is heavily planted, and the has plenty of light on a timer that runs for 10 hours a day. Nitrite and ammonia are 0, and hardness and PH 7.5...

Should I wait a little more to pull the plant out? This just started yesterday, and if they are going to be doing this for a while, should I just wait to have better chances of getting more fry? My logic here being more eggs laid on the plant gives a better chance at increasing the amount of...

Hello, I recently redid my 125G scaping, and I noticed that after the move one of my rainbows began taking a spot at the bottom by a fern. I noticed he would stick his head in a little bit and shake his body. Any fish besides females and the gouramis(they are bigger) he will chase away. He...

My apologies, you are correct. I should have been more specific, it is Epsom salt.

So about 3-4 months ago I purchased some female golden gouramis to go with my male that has been in the tank for about 2 years now. I would like to breed them as he had started making bubble nests. When I bought them they were around 6 months old. My question is how do you know when they are...

It is sick, I had 2 that looked exactly like that. Chances are it has dropsy. Best thing to do is isolate them in a sick tank and put in some doses aquarium salt. I was able to save one of two, but it took about a month. The sooner it's treated the greater the chance of survival.

I found a picture when he was a lot healthier. He is the one on the right, and the normal is on the left. The normal one is the same size in this picture as in the video as well. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v8Pr4RyoR_73tK-X7CTF-dndSApzFu2-/view?usp=drivesdk

He did get smaller. The normal one purchased around the same time stopped growing after about 1-1.5 years or so. They were at point the about same size. I do have videos of him throughout the two years, however with no ruler. I will link to a video I have of him. He was already beginning to get...

Hello, I currently have a 125G tank with community fish in it. Originally I had 2 Golden Killifish in this. When I purchased them, one of them had an odd shaped head sort of indented. The store I bought them kept asking if I was sure I wanted him because it did look odd when you looked at how...

What is the difference between Ceratopteris Thalictroides and Ceratopteris cornuta? None of the shops near me will sell it and I will have to order some in.

I currently have a 125(473L) tank, and my male gold gourami has matured and is beginning to try making a nest. I went ahead and picked up 3 gold females to prepare for breeding(they are not mature yet). My tank is well planted and I noticed he is cutting up up some of my nice plants at the...
