Yup, thats what I meant, ammonium. I was typing quick lol (didnt want to get caught at work! :S )

The filter is tetratec IN600+ 50l-100l and the water test I did AFTER the dechlorinator tested 2 for ammonia BEFORE putting it in the tank... now either there is something wrong with my water supply or the test kit (liquid API test kit so not likely) or I am reading the chart wrong... I went...

Ok so, I cant do a larger tank space/money are unavailable so Sharky has gone back to the shop... BUT I have another problem I could use some help on now though. My older 2ft tank 15G tank which is now empty of fish has a constant ammonia level of 8... I tested it and got 8, did a 90% water...

ah then that could be it, the tank it was in was a 55ltr with the loach and mollies. Now it's in a 65ltr on his own BUT the light in that tank is really bright! Twice as bright as the other tank... So I'll keep that light off then and make sure he's disturbed as little as possible. But he does...

Hi there, I need a little advice on my red tail black shark. I've had him for about 3 weeks now and thought he would benefit from a tank to himself rather than sharing with my loaches and mollies. I noticed something a little strange about him though as I tranfered him from one tank to the new...

Well I went down to the fish shop yesterday and swapped 2 males for 2 young females. One is very shy and I have hardly seen her. the other doesnt care less where she is lol She's swimming around studying EVERYTHING. The more outgoing one is already pregnant too I noticed. Not really what I was...

yeah sorry about your breeder OM47, she looks like a beautiful fish. I have 2 silver, 1 black and 3 orange and black (one of which is a sailfin) but they dont look as pretty as her. I am hoping to go and get 2 more females today and I think I might be taking the sailfin back. I just returned...

Hey OM47, Thanks for the advice! I'm pleased to hear about the salt! I actually have tap water with a PH of 7.8 but not sure about GH/KH (Got the API master test kit so not sure on that one). Because I have some Bamboo Shrimp in the tank with mollies, I have added several shells (crushed and...

Hey thanks waterdrop, Hopefully they will. I wouldn't want to lose any of them due to over population. Plus, if there is a chance the tank is more than sufficient, how many more could I get there? If any at all? I think mollies are beautiful and definitely prefer them to any other common LFS...

Hi there, well as you can imagine from my post being here... I'm new to the hobby. Quick run down of how I got into it would be quite simply, I got caught by the profit making shops and their "goldfish" tanks (like the Elite 21) and was told I could keep up to SIX fantails/orandas/black moors...

Hello everyone, thought I should say hello finally as I have been reading this forum for the past 4 weeks learning all about fish keeping! I recently took up fish keeping as a hobby, I guess taking after my dad's footsteps, and have found out the wonders of actually having a tank (and the...
