The Rams seemed to be the healthiest of all the fish, they are active and already searching for food. The bleeding hearts seemed a bit shaken up, but they’re eating now too. The cory’s are hiding, I think they didn’t like their trip I love the rams, tiny little guys […]
Aww, the bleeding hearts are tiny! LOL, my males are going to be in heaven with their 6 little females LOL They all look small, less than an inch in size.

I have too many fish to put into a 10 gallon for quarantine as I made a large fish order should I go ahead and use the 55 gallon that I set up this weekend as a walstad tank? The cycled media is still in another filter and the tank is only lightly planted until […]
Okay I have the tank filled with everything (soil/gravel/crushed coral/and water), and I have the filter running to get any debris out of the water, I netted as much as I could though. How fast will worm castings break down and put out nitrogen? Does anyone know?

Well, it looks like you have plenty of cycled filters to get live bacteria from. You never needed Dr. Tim’s stuff to begin with. So with ample media from previously cycled tanks, you could add fish and if Dr. Tim’s was a good bottle, you just went into over kill. If it […]
I am not one of the members that have a lot of experience with fish keeping, though with the help of this group I have been very successful so far.
Her is my experience and thoughts on Dr. Tim’s. When it works, I hear it works very well, when it does not, you have no […]
Also your tank will not be cycled until you get a nitrate reading, but it will take a week or two.

If you only put one tetra in the tank, the bacteria will grow only to support the one tetra and will not be sufficient for the corys. I believe the instructions with Dr. Tims say to add all fish at the same time as the Dr. Tims. If you dont, the bacteria you […]
