Fish Fanatic
Summer vacation is finally here. For the past 6 months, I have had a 29 gallon aquarium up and running. I have a bunch of guppies, a betta, two otocinclus, and a cory.(I am getting more Cory’s in the next few days) A piece of driftwood and a lot of random plants are also in my tank. Two weeks ago I got a timer for the light and an automatic feeder. My aquarium is a mess. I bought a lot of plants trying to make my aquarium look good but I don’t know how to take care of them. My water is brownish yellow from tannins and dead plants. Two weeks ago I cleaned the filter media and brown gunk came out. My filter has the brown goo in it too. My gravel is filled with brown poop and stringy stuff. I don’t know what to do and I feel awful for being so careless. I just ordered new filter media from petsmart that is coming tomorrow. I have no co2 and tonight I am going to research all of the plants I have, most likely giving some away. Whenever I clean my gravel it gets dirty in a couple of days. I would greatly appreciate some advice on how to turn my aquarium into a healthy one.
