I`m New Too

Hi everyone. Found this site cause i`m having ammonia issues. I`m going crazy trying to fix this problem so Grim and Evil (my Black Moors) live. Is it crazy to be attached to fish?

to the forum.

I guess it's not really all that crazy, though I, personally, find fish to be indispensible only because of the costs of replacing dead stock.

Hope your problem gets solved.

P.S. the "[/color]" goes at the end.

Thanks for the well wishes.....i`m gonna get some live plants tomorrow in hopes it`ll help. I gave up on the color....thx for the tip anyways. This site helped me greatly. If i can be rid of the ammonia, i think Grim and Evil will thrive. They have grown since i`ve brought them home....they are tuff buggers!

there are products you can get that remove/convert ammonia.
look for bactinettes (a natural bacteria) or ammovec (a chemical).

are you running filtration on the tank, if so what type (UGF,internal,external)?

I'm sure you will get all the help and advice you need, everyone is really helpful and friendly

Sadly i have been using chemicals but they don`t seem to be helping. This site actually suggests not to use chemicals. That is why i`m going to get live plants today. I have an external filter at the moment....Aquaclear if i`m not mistaken. I`ve also cut down feeding them...once a day only.

I dont like chemicals to stop ammonia... I would rather do water changes untill the ammonia is down.

The chemicals weren`t working anyways. I`m gonna do another 10% water change again. I also got some vallis and elodia and added them today. I`m determined to beat this issue....my fish will live!!!!
