In my freshwater aquarium, I have been having a problem with very high c03 levels(Between 80 and 100 PPM), however my co2 levels stay low - nearly unreadable. I currently have some live plants - a species of dwarf lily that I am not sure of its proper genus(And how it can be called a […]
Hi Jo and Welcome!
Yes, there is a lot of controversy with their use. First lets consider it in a different way and not say “Filter” at all. Lets say under-gravel water movers because that’s what they are and their real true purpose. They turn the entire bottom of your tank into a giant […]
Well I haven’t seen them drinking out of it, they want to stick their paws in it though I wanted to make sure that it wasn’t poisonous or anything, dirty paws won’t affect pH much will it? LOL. Currently all the surfaces have stuff on them, will have to look for […]
Oh and after hearing stories from my mom about the food grandma made when they were growing up I now no longer think that it was gross when grandpa covered all of his food in something, such as ketchup or peanut butter LOL.

Hello Jo, So sorry you are running into this frustrating experience in trying to keep Angelfish, when the species is not difficult to maintain. Ordinarily, we would ask just what you meant (and will still do this) when you say that your water is all testing okay. When giving us any of your […]
They are fruit flies from the berry bushes behind my condo’s, no one bothers to chop them down and I don’t have time to go out there and chop down bushes that aren’t mine I just trim enough to where I can get past them, LOL. And I don’t think […]
Good thing I read this… Sounds like I may be transferring the fry into my 55 gallon upstairs and the 125 gallon downstairs. I suppose it depends on if they don’t eat them, I’ll cross that bridge later. The LFS still has juvi angel’s in stock, about the size of a quarter, […]
Jo,
A few rules.
Rule 1. Any ammonia above 0.0 is too high.
Rule 1. Any nitrite over 0.0 is too high.
Rule 1. Never, ever, mess with your pH.
Your tank has not been cycled. What you need to do is to either do a “fishless” cycle or use Dr. Tim’s product to obtain a bacterial culture that is […]
I noticed you said there’s an ammonia reading on your test kit, is this tank fully cycled or is the ammonia from the dead fish? How long straight has this tank been running again? I don’t think anyone asked if your tank was fully cycled, so I was just covering all the […]
Ray are you sure that his fish are deing to this infection rather than dieing from ammonia poisoning from an uncycled tank? Not to mention he used a pH adjusting buffer to lower his pH… This might just be a lack of experience too I would think it’s possible at least. We […]
