My cat gave birth to 5 kittens 2 days ago, and today she gave birth to 2 dead kittens, I heard this was normal, but is it normal 2 days after giving birth to the other kittens?

I cant tell what it is, its just a small white dot sticking out of his side, he had one on each side of him, but now one side is clear. he doesnt stay still long enough but I think its coming out of his gills.

I cant because im all out of testing supplies save for an expired kit sitting beneath the tank lol The only fish that were having trouble were the loaches, all the others are fine except for the one cory who has some kind of white thing sticking out of his side. And the last loach died sometime...

About 2 months ago I bought 3 Kuhli loaches, a few weeks ago 1 of them died. a few weeks later I bought 2 more to add to my tank. Well 2 of them died after being covered in some kind of white film, one of them died under a piece a wood and I didnt notice him for a while and he was covered in...

Got it, changed it to an angle, thanks for the advice.

Guy at the pet store told me I should start cycling with Tetras, lol but now the tank is fully cycle so no worries, also didnt lose any fish when I first put the tetras to cycle it 6 months ago.

Well after the ammonia spike, I lost all my tetras except 1 neon and 1 high fin black skirt, so I went out and bought 2 more of each, but somehow 1 of each died, I just havent gotten new guys yet, I originally got the tetras to help cycle to tank. And yes that is the heater.

I have had my tank for around 6 months now, still kind of new to it all, but here is a link to my fish tank as it is currently set up, I would appreciate any help and advice on how to make it look better. Current specs are 2 penguin bio-wheel systems, one new and one older. The fish I have are 2...

Ok. I added the prime and the ammonia levels went down a tonm .25 ppm, but it wont go any lower, is this alright?

Kinda hard, out of about 33 fish, I only have 5 left, 2 tetras, 2 cat fish and my pleco, but they dont havy wounds of any kind so im assuming they are harmless.

They were little black wormlike things less than an inch long and digging into the fibers of the filter, I cant get a pic as I got as many as I could and put the filters back in, there werent alot of them and they were only on that one filter, any ideas?

After the tear down and using stress zyme and the chlore out and adding extra carbon to my filters, my ammonia tests went from off the charts past 7.5ppm to .25 ppm, tomorrow ill get some prime and add it to the tank and take it from there, sadly my tank will now be empty and I'll only have 2...

Ok, something very strange, as I was about to put the filters back into the units, I saw some long black tubelike things I thought were fish waste, but they were moving! Any idea what the heck these things are? they are only on 1 of the 4 filters.

Little late to go out to the pet store right now, and the tank is already empty, so should I fill it with water and the chlor-out now, and add some prime tomrrow?

Ok, I bought some chlor-out by hartz, and i'm draining the tank completely down the gravel, going to leave some water in there, as to not kill any of the bacteria, but I'm going to take out my whole filter units and clean them, but im going to take the bio wheels and filters out and let them sit...
