The tank has been set up for two weeks now. It is a planted tank with driftwood and Amazon sword, a crypt and java fern. Yes the filter has cycled I suppose because before the ammonia was at 0.5ppm and now it's at zero. I was continously adding bacteria in a bottle. I have dimmed the lights to...

Today, my tank looked great and the fishes were not stressed. For a week now my tank has had fishes and ammonia has Neen at0 for 2 days now. My fishes are eating good and are swimming good. Now i want to add more fishes in my tank. I have a 10 gallon with 2 guppies and 3 cardinals. I am going...

Thnx now I know that there is one neon and two cardinals left as one cardinal died as mentioned above. As for the new fish i was only concerned that the tetras don't feel stressed because of a small school. To control ammonia I am feeding them only once a day and only a little. And they are...

Yesterday one of my tetra died and today another died. I have a 10 gallon tank with live plants(amazon sword, java fern and a plant that resembles cryptocotyne a littlebit) and driftwood. There are 5 pond snail's in it as well. Two days before I got 5 cardinal tetras and 2 guppies for my...

Thnx for the help and I do want to keep the snails as they help control algae. They also add natural element to the tank and although they don't look as glamorous as my cardinals but they do amaze me. I have a total of five snails but I do want more.

I recently set up a tank. It has amazon sword, java fern and a plant that looks like cryptocotyne species. But now i started seeing snail's in my tank. I didn't put them in the tank. They just appeared. First there was one but now i see five. Since I have live plants in my tank so I am afraid...
