    For the cory's how do I know if my gravel is sharp?

    How should I move Cory fish out of the tank? They are fast moving fish. should I use a cup, or fish net? Do cory fish jump? I think I can remove my glow tetra's, they do not swim away, when I come towards the tank. Maybe they be easy to catch, once I empty out, some of the fish water.

    For the cory's how do I know if my gravel is sharp?

    Do I throw the sand in the tank, while the fish are in the tank? I do not want to stress the fish out, by pouring sand in the tank. Or does it matter?

    For the cory's how do I know if my gravel is sharp?

    I get 2 temp readings. The strip that I have on the tank reads: 77 degrees. The thermometer reads 80. Which should I believe? I also will buy soft sand, for my fish, and get rid of the gravel. I will go to Amazon and buy it. So should I do a 50 percent water change? Then scoop out the gravel...

    Thank you, for your help. My temp is around 80 degrees. I do plan on buying 3 more red eyed tetra's after my tanks cycle for a few weeks. I would try to take a photo, or video but every time I come toward the tank my cory's swim off. It's hard to take a photo of them. Here is a video of my...

    For the cory's how do I know if my gravel is sharp?

    For the cory's how do I know if my gravel is sharp? I picked it up and rubbed against my hand and it did not scratch my hand. So does this mean my gravel is not sharp.

    Dead guppy. I replaced with two live bearer's

    When I cycled my 20 gallon tank, with feeder's, they made it past the cycle. I took the feeder's back to the pet store. No one at the pet store said anything, about being inhumane. They took the fish back, and I had a cycled tank. I could not do that with a betta, or guppy fish. There are...

    Dead guppy. I replaced with two live bearer's
