    Fairwell discus :( good riddance CAE

    I won't tell everyone what I did to the CAE I had that ate a $50 goldfish.... suffice it to say it wasn't pretty. We all make mistakes, and I think you are doing the right thing by trying to place the fish before resorting to euthanasia (which is not even the word I would use to describe...

    Cycle

    Be really careful about removing the ammonia from your tank with ammocarb... it will defeat the purpose... while ammonia is lethal to fish, ammonia-consuming bacteria are what you are trying to establish and if you remove it all chemically, you can halt the process. The trick is keeping the...

    Missing fish... and Ich treatment questions.

    Well, it's good that you found the fish... Now how's the rest of the tank?

    Missing fish... and Ich treatment questions.

    Neons are super-delicate (so beyond a beginner fish that it's absurd how fast they fly out of the stores...I can't even keep the silly things alive...), so any stress at all from salt, ich treatment, temperature fluctuations, etc, can make them keel over, so it's not surprising to me that you've...

    Cycling a 55 Gallon

    Ok, to address question 1: The majority of your bacteria do not live in the water itself, rather on solid surfaces in your tank. The better option would be to transfer some of the gravel (in the toe of a new, clean knee-high, so you can get them back out if you so desire) or the filter pad...

    Overstocked?

    Inch-per-gallon doesn't really apply to most tanks because it doesn't take into account body mass, aggression level, or activity level. Swords/platies get to be a few inches long apiece, and cories can get up to 4. Danios are very active, as are neons, so you've got a lot of fish running...

    Aw Help Please What Is Wrong

    that sounds like quite a bit of fish for that size of a tank, depending upon how large they are... when you say algae eater.... do you mean plecostamus, chinese algae eaters, siamese algae eaters? Plecos are horribly messy fish... I'm not sure what to make of the deaths, other than maybe...

    Aw Help Please What Is Wrong

    Hmmm... Well, your ph is fairly high... have any idea what it is at the store you bought the fish from? Have you added any kind of chemical to the tank, for any reason? It sounds for the life of me like New Tank Syndrome (ammonia poisoning/nitrite poisoning/ph shock or any combination...
