I use the Tetratest Laborett testing kit. There is a slight orange appearance to the tester. It's not completely yellow like it should be, but it's getting there. I am going to do another big change shortly and will report back in a few hours with the results. As for the bala, the friend has...

The problem with this tank was, it's fish primarily picked by a 3 and 5 year old. It's a bit harder to explain why some fish can't go in the tanks with other fish. I know the rainbow sharks will eventually need to go, but right now things are quite peaceful. The fish are all doing a lot better...

Stock on the 29 gallon right now is 4 rainbow sharks (They get along great right now, and do not bother the other fish), 3 red eyed tetra, 1 Pristilla Tetra, 1 Bala Shark (he'll be moved to a friend of the family's tank when he gets too big for this one), 2 Guppies, 3 Leopard Danio's and 1 Cory...

Ok, to clear up confusion. My mother got a 29 gallon tank for my nephews, it was over stocked too fast and some other mistakes were made. I moved 2 guppies and 2 mollies to the 5 gallon tank that is mine (The numbers are still where they should be for that tank nearly a week later). The 1 guppy...

I've just got 3 of them in this tank (2 mollies and 1 guppy), the levels are coming back down in the other tank. They've dropped in half since the last water change. The levels in the 5 gallon are perfect, there are other fish in the main tank I moved them from, I've just moved my fish that are...

The move is just temporary until I can get the levels in the other tank down. Went to the pet store, was given some bacteria to put into the filter. They said that though it was high, it could be worse than it is... tomorrow I'm to do a 50% atleast change and add some nuetralizer and the usual...

Thank you very much. I have a 5 gallon tank that's been running for about a week. Had the water in it tested at the local store I go to. He said that the ammonia was a little high and that it should level off in a couple days. I used the test strips in 3 tanks. 2 are empty and they came out...

I'm relatively new to fishkeeping. My mother got a tank for my nephews, since I'm the one that's gonna be taking care of it mostly I'm gonna have a lot of questions. I just don't know where to start as I am kind of concerned about the water in the tank. I bought some test strips and when I...
