so it’s been 4 days without any further casualty. Tested hardness of water GH is 200ppm. All other parameters have stayed stable. Nitrate hasn’t really moved from 10ppm. No signs of ammonia or nitrite. 4 days ago added another 100w heater to help stabilise temperature in the tank. Lowered...

He rinsed it thoroughly with tap water only then let dry in the sun. Just checked on the remainder of the fish. All alive, swimming as usual and eating. Small Endler female is looking well aswell. Temperature of the water has remained consistent around 27-28C. Will be moving the aquarium indoors...

My old man cleaned the tank. Unsure what chemicals he used. I thoroughly wash my hands before handling the aquarium with hand soap and rinsing for 30 seconds. Have done a lot of water changes during the cycling process to keep the nitrate levels down. Only thing that I have done over the last...

Hahaha not looking forward to the bill but priority now is the fish. Will pick up an aerator and tub today. However can confirm water temps were exactly the same at 5am as they were at 9pm last night maybe even a 0.5C higher this morning compared to last night. Again will also test hardness of...

Unfortunately don’t have a container or any aeration tools (air pump, smaller filter to keep the water filtered and aerated). I’m using a canister filter currently filtering 1100LPH. I can’t see any signs of BGA or any algae.The picture quality is not the greatest and the substrate is a sand...

Also here is a photo of the 3 fish today that didn’t make it.

Hi everyone, so visited my parents place. Another 3 fish unfortunately did not survive. I have added another 100w heater to the tank to support the current heater. We will be moving the tank in the house this weekend. I have attached photos of the aquarium as suggested. Sorry for the poor...

So far have lost 3 endlers and 3 Platys. I have an API test kit and checked the water parameters. Everything seems to be normal as in no ammonia spike seen and nitrates haven’t increased a whole lot since the 30th. I did conduct a 25% water change today but that was more to make my life easier...

Hi TNG, thanks for the information. I have yet to see the temperatures at night. So cannot provide an answer on that. However the tank is located under a roof with shelter so no direct sunlight hits the aquarium. I’m located in Adelaide and was made aware from my local LFS that our water tends...

hi, I have a 50 gallon tank, which has been fishless cycled for the past month. I introduced 2ppm ammonia until the water parameters were able to absorb ammonia and nitrite in 24hrs. Then I adjusted to 3ppm (for assurance) and that was successful too. I then added 16 fish to my aquarium on the...
